Grad student: Gaming culture privileges 'hypermasculine' men
Campus Reform ^ | October 27, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

Posted on 10/27/2017 9:51:06 AM PDT by C19fan

A graduate student at the University of Arizona recently published his thesis, arguing that gaming culture “privileges cis, heterosexual, and hypermasculine men.”

Jeremy Omori, who will graduate with an MA in Cultural Pedagogy in May, argues in his thesis that because gaming culture privileges cisgender and heterosexual men, it consequently serves to perpetuate the oppression of “those who may not fit this mold.”

This has to be the first time I heard nerds described as "hypermasculine". We usually get stuck with the Beta or below label. In this person's eye I am an Alpha!!!

It’s getting to the point where unless a man is a fag then he’s somehow oppressive to someone.

It’s absurd.

Is there a difference between “cis-gender” and “heterosexual”?

It’s midnight. You hear breaking glass outside. You pick up your gun and go to check it out. You’re an alpha. You hear breaking glass outside. You pick up the phone and call 911. Beta. Simple.

The only thing that degree is good for is perpetuating and eternal progressive university indoctrination system. That guy wouldn’t be able to generate wealth if native PMs jumped out of the ground and formed themselves into preweighted blanks for him.

Jeremy Omori’s master’s thesis should have been entitled: “I am a LOSER. I have always been a loser and always will be.”

The concluding statement would be: “Please make me an associate professor because I have no hope of a productive life outside of my safe cocoon in academia.”

Oh, I don’t know about that. He’s just the kind of guy the Education Establishment likes to hire.

I refuse to use the liberal words and instead I just say “normal people” and “abominations”.

You can be cis-gender and gay ot strsight. It just means you are actually the sex you were born.

Many games have leftist threads running through them. If asshats like this guy get their way another entertainment medium will be destroyed. War never changes but a-holes like this guy could ruin v games and that would suck.

“MA in Cultural Pedagogy”
Total bulls*t.

He could have obtained a better education (at far less expense) by reading cereal boxes.

Master’s degree, my Obamahole. That cr*p isn’t even worth a third grade attendance certificate.

What a cretin.

Speaks volumes about the academic standards of the joke of a university that sold that POC to him.

> oppression of “those who may not fit this mold.”

Why does everyone need to fit the same mold? How is it oppression if different people want to do different things?

If the US was ruled by Marx, Lenin, Mao, or Bernie it may be appropriate for every peon to be as identical as possible, doing their part in the elites’ machine and receiving the same “reward”. But we are a free society where people are not forced into molds: athlete, academic, entertainer, cis, gay, trans, ...

If people weren’t allowed to fit the mold appropriate for them, I would bet the gay and trans molds would be among the first to go. This guy should be happy we don’t force everyone into a mold. And he needs to stop trying to oppress people who don’t fit the mold he prefers.
