My mind is absolutely blown that you managed to also cram in something about white privledge in there.

Let me guess: you are frothing with white privilege, hence why you're so offended.

I can explain why your mind is blown: your mind is unable to comprehend the connection between white privilege among game developers, its relevance western culture and psychology, and how it contributes to the arrogance of so many internet users, game developers, and software programmers.

I don't blame you for your ignorance, but your response and attitude only helps to validate my view. Why someone's mind would be blown is beyond me. I have no problem with someone who disagrees or believes I'm an idiot...but to not even comprehend what IMO are obvious points?

Of course, mention white privilege in any gamedev circle and you will be met with a lot of hostility, confusion, #MindBlown's, and controversy. There is no need for any of this if you think about how privilege can effect someone's perception of even small things like programming advice. All the controversy... it strikes a nerve with gamedevs because...well isn't it obvious? To reiterate my point: gamedev communities are frothing with white privilege. So of course it turns the emotional gears of the community. It effects them in more ways than they realize. I also is not a surprise at all that it feeds into the idea that young white males consciously or subconsciously believe they are 'the chosen one'.

What does that have to do with anything?

Belief that they are this special chosen one helps feed into the arrogance which creates that "I can't be wrong; You're an idiot!" attitude that creates so many arguments online.

Anyway, you can't believe how little my response has to do with the discussion because your brain doesn't comprehend the connection. Not your fault, but drop the attitude and get some humility kid. It is entirely relevant because all of this feeds into the way programmers and game developers give advice to others, help perpetuate the common myths about programming/gamedev, and hinder newbies through misinformation. It contributes, not in entirety, to the incompetence which composes most of our society (and thus out programmers and thus our software).
