“The left helps it’s own why don’t we?”
I doubt you know much about the Video-Game industry (the most profitable industry in the world besides military). Well let me tell you. We are VERY VERY right.
As a gay man and a (OH MY GOD HERE IT COMES) muslim I find it hard to feel welcomed into events targeted to the right. Hell the local G.O.P. place thing (forgot the word, its a place in a strip mall were G.O.P. members can meet up) down 436 as expressed its feelings quite clear that I am simply unwelcome.
As a member of the Video-Game Industry people in the right who I forget to tell that I am a gay muslim express their feelings that I am unwelcome, as the Video-Game Industry is supposed to be very left leaning.
Well its not. Actually almost everyone I worked with on Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars for the DS were socially and fiscally conservative. Every time a new bailout appeared, the sexy Nancy Pelosi flapped her gator jaw and.or Anderson Cooper tried to save the world in his sexy t-shirts two sizes to two shorts work stopped and bitching ensued.
I also am a college student. When other republicans ask what degree I’m in and say Interactive Media Design, Production and Publishing at one of the top 5 colleges in the world for fine art AND modern media (www.fullsail.com) their heads explode inside, so I say art. Once again they feel as if I am an evil demon from hell who is going to force their children in front of an x-box for hours (when in all honesty that is probably their idea of parenting). It is interesting how all the students getting into Video Games sit in the corner in the front (hey we feel like outsiders but we will be damned before we give up the optimum seats for maximum board seeing)
I am also ostracized within the industry I work in (Video Games) because 85% of my team (yes my team, my name is at the TOP of the credits) was in the military and members of the G.O.P. and when they first arrived at my office they felt that they needed to be better than me because I am gay and have never been in the military. After the 4th vet (god bless his service but I will be damned before I put up with their attitude remember I’m the boss) go their sh*t canned because of their d*ck waving they got in line. Now when THEY tell people at a GOP convention that they make video-games they are treated like demons who want to lock children in a room watching the 5 second sex scene in Mass-Effect all day long.
They no longer attend G.O.P. events because of this.
So Mr. Andrew Ian Dodge the reason no conservative artists, writers creative people of any sort (say video games are art and you will NOT get a job anywhere) is because we simply feel unwelcome.
PJ Media is a rarity in the conservative party of America where they don’t bash muslims, gays or artists and I sincerely applaud they way you fight for change in the republican party while not giving up on the beliefs that made it. Until drastic change on what CAN be a social and/or fiscal conservative changes (note: note the word CAN and not IT IS TO) we will continued to be outsiders of the republican party.
Not welcome to you’re gatherings, suffering you’re crappy “It’s artsy so its bad for the children who shouldn’t be seeing/using it because it’s labeled a game even though it is made for adults who for some never explained reason can’t play games anymore” attitude and generally being annoyed at articles like this when people like Bill O’DriedVagina over a game for adults and Greta Van WTFhappenedtoherfaceSustrich are allowed to blatantly say what ever the f-bomb they want (w/o research or reference) about us and have it mirrored by the rest of the party.
Now I come on here from time to time and say stupid things like “f-Israel” and generally just being a douche pissing people off. With all the BS I put up with best get my frustrations out anonymously (yes fake name and e-mail set up with fake info) rather punching Gretta Van WTFhappenedtoherfaceSustrich in her dirty untouched vagina because she heard somewhere from someone who read on the internet that Mass-Effect had horrible horrible child porn and decided to call my work (I did the rigging for that scene) a horrible affront to all decency and we should go to jail for being so malignant or some-such nonsense.
I AM considering making an account of PopModai for video game reviews, advisories and rants from a conservative in the entertainment business however I hear the latest angry rantings from Rush Limbah (I like him most of the time) about how my work and I have a personal hand in the decay of America and it’s values and I decide to hold off recording play sessions and organizing my writings for another day.
From “Christopher Smith”
An American that vehemently advocates conservative values and responsible spending that just so happens to be a gay muslim that makes video-games and wants join the military before I hit the age limit but can’t because my uncle (who was in the military) told the recruiter I was gay.
AKA.
That guy gay guy who will probably die lonely for dissenting against the hive mind of gay culture, killed 3000+ people on September 11th 2001 thats single handedly making our kids fat, lazy little bastards who attack their mothers with delicious meat filled tortillas because mommy finally decided to unplug the X-box after letting her kid become a spoiled little brat, yes I got e-mails blaming me for that.
