But I also heard from many who were level headed about the issue.īefore the opening credits rolled, I said to myself, “bored already.” The opening scene in the doctor’s office felt shoehorned in. I heard from a lot of them last week, with many nasty comments being lobbed at me when I first posted the episode information, as if I wrote the damn thing. Yes, there are many out there who are very passionate about gaming. Not all male gamers are violent, crazy, misogynistic lunatics. I suspect that gamers watching this episode hated it for the negative way gaming was depicted. I also felt like there was a contest going on to see how much gamer slang someone could cram into the episode. The constant gamer slang got old, and (like Benson) I started to feel like I was being treated like an idiot who couldn’t grasp the simplest gaming concepts. There were times the episode was clichéd and cringe-worthy, even for someone like me who avoids video games like the plague. The location scenes heightened the tension and drama this aspect of this episode was very well done. The episode was action packed, which kept my attention. That’s just me and is in no way meant to be a diss against those who enjoy video games. I understand that many get enjoyment from video games I don’t. There is a lot more to this issue and rather than explain it here, my suggestion is to check your Internet search engine of choice to get all the details.įull disclosure: I don’t play video games for a lot of reasons. Last year, three game developers found themselves being attacked in Internet forums, where they were threatened - anonymously - with various acts of violence including rape and murder. An oversimplified explanation of Gamergate: it’s a polarizing controversy over what is perceived as widespread misogyny in video games and the video game culture, which morphed into an ethics and culture war. Law & Order SVU “Intimidation Game” is “ripped from the headlines” of “Gamergate”.
