I found myself always awfully leftist: Against Zwarte Piet, for opening of borders for refugees, a progressive tax system. And diversity - even though in conflict over the road to get - I think is as important as the modern feminist that finds. Gamer Gate and Anti-gamer Gate I had always regarded as a classic 'left versus right' phenomenon. On the right the misogynistic conservatives (Gamergaters) and left the pro-diversity hippies (now term: Social Justice Warriors). Without me having too much into the matter, I decided that if someone were to ask me where I would stand in the debate, I would myself but would like scaling a SJW. At least I had of course no one brought it up because it seemed to me all very childish. Still, I was sucked into it. In discussions on Facebook, I noticed that my statements about nepotism, conflicts of interest, and even flawed scientific evidence of serious games, derailed in Gamer Gate discussions. Even worse, it began to look like a mine. This was the point where I started to read the article and "I'm Roger and I'm a Gamergater 'wrote. I believe that, despite the clickbait title, made a good attempt to find a middle of a onodig polarized debate. When you read it you will conclude impossible that I have anything against diversity. Not everyone was thinking about it. While I was with NRC worked for the now published article on the Dutch Game industry, the editors received several emails and phone calls from the chief of Control, Matthijs Dierckx. He threw a lot of negativity and let NRC know that they made a mistake by cooperating with me. According Matthijs I wrote defamatory articles, I am similar to Micah Kats (a Holocaust denier), and he was considering dragging me to court. Something he had seen from it, but because I had such a piddling little blog. hate Group Most of the slander was about my alleged involvement in a 'hate group against diversity, "Gamer Gate. Matthijs sent as proof for my article about it. This threw me into a kind of identity crisis. How I was, someone who always felt so left, ended up in this position? How could it be that enthusiastic leftist idealists themselves bezigden with behind-the-back-to slander to chief editors? Leftists still would never act like that? Past few weeks I have broken my head to these questions and I think I have an explanation. A disclaimer: what follows is a theory in which I put a link between SJW and domestic policy. Because I do not read into foreign policy is only applicable to the situation in the Netherlands. But since Netherlands is a country that copy many (movies, music, books, policies?) I do not rule out that this theory is applicable across borders. Top Sectors The Dutch government has been investing millions in the creative industries; one of the 9 'Top sectors'. RIP Economic Board Utrecht HKU / UU and a number of other clever lobbyists make videogames itself as an innovative growth market. This succeeded partly because (serious) games so positioning them eligible for many (NWO) subsidies. Same as the other Top Sectors money investment for the game industry from the government ge-matched to be by business. Economists predicted in 2012 all the top sectors policy partly why would fail. The requirement for a large part of having to cough up the funds would mainly go to the established large companies with the best subsidieologen employed. The Top Sector Policy so rewards the winners. Actually let many of my articles how the ecomomen were right. The Dutch game industry was, and still is, hijacked by a few wealthy individuals such as TNO, University of Utrecht and the HKU. The HKU even led at the time by the same subsidioloog who the baseless turnovers note-lobbied. Critics of the Top Sector Policy warned not only for monopolies but, ironically, for the lack of diversity would ensue. The matching scheme 'would ensure that mainly the same old white male executives had to say. This criticism was, along with the mission of Neelie Kroes to push diversity translated into action plans, strategies and targets .... And who were the ones who were inculcated this message? Precisely, the great subsidievreters. The Dutch game industry was so in return for the millions - they were allowed to continue smoothly circulating on the square centimeter - diversify. But how do you create diversity within an industry that provokes cliques at its core, where diversity really does not seem welcome? faking The answer is to pretend. By calling example how badly others do or generalizing argue that the "game industry is a pernicious coil testosterone. As long as there is shouting loud about awareness and change managment, then we believe that you do your best anyway. The Dutch Game industry after ten years is still dominated by essentially the same male businessmen ... but there should not be thought of. Someone like Niall, whose magazine and award show exist by the grace of our subsidy culture is probably not a true idealist. He is not really concerned that the NRC would be soiled by a misogynist, he's just afraid of his own position in the industry. He and similar preachers are among the lucky few who make their money in this sector, and obviously a lot to be able to protect it. The social justice warrior is not really left, but he acts like it
