Law & Order SVU Anonymous 02/14/15 (Sat) 01:49:08 No.894

The recent episode of Law& Order Special Victims Unit deals with the problem of online harassment of women involved in gaming. It depicts a dedicated programmer who is doxxed swatted, kidnapped and raped by a small group of males who are enraged by her presence in the gaming world. Most of you which have watched this episode or read about it have already figured out it is a blatant piece of ideological propaganda, so let's take a moment to analyze the message a bit more clearly.

The first element that catches our attention is the complete lack of subtlety in introducing to the viewer such trending technological terms as "noob" and "camping". The majority of the characters seems clueless in regards to this world of video-games, but hopefully Ice-T's character is there to provide exposition. This was not a case of lack of perception or bad writing, it was in fact a deliberate attempt at alienating individuals who actually understand gaming culture, because such viewers are much less likely to accept the message that is to come. These encyclopedic quoted during dialogue allow the individuals who are not familiar with the topic to believe that they are learning about it, and thus validate their notion that their opinions on the subject are valid.

Despite the obvious reference to current events, the writers are very careful to change the details in order to fit the narrative into what was reported by the major news outlets. The first and most obvious change is the fact that the harassment is motivated not by an ethical matter, but by the mere fact that the target is a woman involved in gaming. Yes, there is a brief mention that she is suspected with having slept with someone in order to gain favor with investors or somesuch, but in all of the instances that the criminals make themselves heard, the attack is not justified by this rumor (which not denied), but by their nonacceptance of the fact that women are involved in gaming.

A second deviation from the real story is that while Sarkeesian is a video-game critic and social commentator who is despised by her bending of the truth and demagoguery, her representation on the show is an actual programmer who makes a successful game that is in tune with the feminist ideals/agenda. Thus, while the real individual is criticized by how all she does is talk without taking any significant action, the character based on her is threatened because she actually did something while being a woman. Once more, the central reason for her persecution is not her actions, but her gender.

Something that is briefly mentioned and that many may have missed is how a woman attacked during a gaming convention describes her attackers as white, skinny, pale men "just like every other person there" (or something of the sort). That is, she reinforces the common stereotypes about gamers, while in reality feminists enjoy making it know how there are as many women as there are men who play video-games (a usually vague claim with vague definitions).

Portrayal of the bad guys is the complete opposite of the reality of GG, and not surprisingly in accordance with the image painted by the mainstream media: a small group of white anti-social males who conduct actual acts of violence.There is no difference between talking about raping someone online and going out and doing it: all of the threats are real and all of the hate is dangerous. The target, on the other hand, is a well-spoken, indian woman with a large fan base who tries to win with dialogue and bravery.

Finally, there is the cliché return of the dangers of playing video-games. The men involved one of which is the son of a retired schoolteacher, just like you! spend a lot of time online on sites their parents don't understand and playing violent games. They do the latter so much that they actually become unable to distinguish gaming from reality. This narrative, which became popular in the 90's, has never been actually proven and is mostly seen as baseless by anyone in touch with modern culture*. Of course, there is one group of individuals who still cling to this idea. This group advocates that not only so violent games make people violent, but scenes of violence towards women make people specifically violent towards women. If the reader can guess who is the main representative of that group, you have my permission to feel congratulated.

*I must reinforce the distinction between grown men and children, one of which is much more suggestible than the other.

Last week I saw an episode about 3 black kids bullying an white transsexual boy. The discussion goes on, and by tossing the white boys camera around, eventually he fallen on the chest of one of the black kids while trying to catch the camera from. The black kid reaction was to push the white boy, who got pushed out the bridge.

The episode goes on, and eventually the tranny dies. The leftist propaganda started with the "muhh he didn't done nothing" "muhh he's good boy", and also with the dead boy parents saying that the black kid who was being charged with murder should not be incarcerated, and stuff like that.

At the end of the episode, the judge finally brings the verdict by charging him as an adult and convicting the black kid for the homicide of the transsexual boy.

This episode was bough by my teacher in one of my law school classes here in Brazil. Almost all the class who doesn't know shit about the American legal system and under age prosecution, agreed that the North American system was unfair, obviously by the propaganda the episode bought with it.

Why the boy needed to be incarcerated? Why he should be treated as an adult? He's just a boy, for god sake! That was the line of thinking off the vast majority, and this was used by the teacher to show how much the Brazilian system was "superior" from the north American one in the prosecution and treatment of the crimes committed by under ages.

Here in Brazil, if an under age commits any kind of crime, even the most brutal homicide, the penalty is, at most, 3 years on a special facility just for teens. I think this is insane! And that is the kind of think the Law & Order want to be the motto on the United States, by doing this kind of propaganda.

Teaching institutions have always used non-academic media as a resource, but usually they have been books of classical literature/poetry, or at most films. Now we see things such as video-games and TV shows also being used to "complement" the official curriculum. I wonder how the relationship between entertainment and teaching will evolve in the coming years.
