Call of Duty Community Not Misogynistic, Says Sledgehammer Co-Founder

[Gorrath]

Christ this whole thread is an embarrassment. It's fucking surreal how the same in the same environment we parody CoD as toxic shit lords we also all collectively defend said CoD community if it means going against the "SJW's.


This is the same community where a dev almost immediately got threatened and doxxed over changing the firing rate of a virtual gun.

No in both cases it's pointing out a minority acting like assholes and using them to show that humanity has assholes and you will never remove them. Most people here are not protecting the minority they're protecting the majority.

The problem is that it doesn't matter what percentage of the CoD community are assholes. If most of the normal people are on mute and the only ones on chat are predominately fuckbags that would call a black person (or supposed black person) a ****** at first chance, don't be surprised when black people talk about how the only people they tend to deal with online are racists. Because as far as they are concerned a good 30% of their online chat involves those people.

Nobody things about the silent majority or the fact that they are on mute. Because as far they are concerned, it's the jerks that are online in chat.

So you guys can defend the majority till the cows come home, But the reality is that if the only people on chat are mainly assholes, don't get mad when people say that this community is full of assholes.

I will get mad, freely, because it is totally wrong. You are making an argument here that is not acceptable at all. Allow me to demonstrate:

"The problem is it doesn't matter what percentage of black people are actually criminals, if I don't have personal experience with them and have only dealt with black people who have robbed me then don't be surprised when I talk about the only black people I deal with tend to be criminals. Because as far as I'm concerned, a good XX% of black people are criminals."

It's a bullshit argument used to excuse bigotry and does not become a good or fair argument just by changing the context.

The fact that someone doesn't think about the "silent majority" is their own problem and not a license to paint people unfairly. I can defend the majority until cows come home because to engage in the sort of fallacy above is completely unfair. Being the victim of anything does not give one license to engage in fallacious reasoning and deride people uncontested.
