Oh gamers. Last week Infinity Ward, Activision and CoD were the unholy trinity through which Satan unleashed his dark touch upon the world, but this week, because it gives you an excuse to be racist, they're the good guys.

@ceruleanspark Because clearly it's the exact same set of people saying both things.

@toksyuryel In this case, it demonstrably is same group (my favourite group of hypocrites). There might be some hangers on who've showed up explictly for the chance to be asshats, but it is largely the same group of people.

@abigpony It's the "Favela removed from MW2's online map rotation because there's some content offensive to muslims in it" mess. Now IW are the poor little victims of islamic oppression.

@ceruleanspark It's all just one big stupid debacle

@abigpony Well, it's more or less the perfect storm for angry internet vigilantes: It's got censorship, it's got religion and it's got a group of people it's for some reason socially acceptable to hate on.

@ceruleanspark Odd. I haven't heard of it outside of here.

@abigpony It's not really a big deal for most news outlets because MW2 is a 4 year old game, and IW already agreed to patch it. The raging is mostly confined to discussion boards.

@ceruleanspark I haven't even seen it on 4chin

@abigpony I have. Both in the context of "This is a stupid thing to be mad about" and in the context of "Let's get revenge on those [racist epithet removed]"
