Prejudice and Discrimination: Crash Course Psychology #39

[@glitchxero4687]

To all of you there at Crash Course (as well as Sci Show,) I just want to thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos. They're such an amazing resource; not just for people in school, but for anyone thirsty for knowledge. From Hank and the folks at Thought Bubble, to all the behind the scenes people I never see, you're doing an amazing thing and it is very much appreciated.

I was discriminated against in the early 2000's at a public pool. Being a little girl I didn't really understand what was going on when she told me that my people were on the other side. The older lady told me that I needed I needed to go to my side of the pool. Later on I realized that she was using discrimination because of the color of my skin. Great video

[@haleyokane]

It breaks my heart that this video was extremely relevant 5 years ago when it was made and is STILL relevant. Active discrimination and prejudice against certain individuals with “unconventional” backgrounds is still a problem that runs rampant in our society. It’s time to educate and inform our current generations on what needs to change.

[@ILikeFreedomYo]

Discrimination and prejudice are biological instincts of survival though the words have been highjacked by politics which has changed the definitions. The harm comes when those descriptors turn into absolutism, hatred and intolerance for chance and unchangeable human traits. Aka bigotry, sexism, racism, xenophobia. Prejudice (prejudgment) and discrimination (discernment) are literally vital to continuing our survival. The only question is how do we use those mental cognitions ethically and morally in application. The war on discrimination and prejudice are key points in an attempt to destroy individualism and force people into group identity. A world without prejudgment and discernment means no individual thought process to translate differences. Only a socially constructed difference will remain. Meaning groups battling groups for equality . Which is the literal exact opposite of MLKs vision when he said he had a dream that one day we could be judged by the content of our character rather then our skin. White privilege is just the beginning of the continuation of that systemic battle for group equality instead of individual equality. The change that needs to happen is elimination of hate. That will never happen shifting blame between group identity. Sorry for the rant. I'm just up in arms about how oblivious modern racists are.

[@nadiarodrigues3705]

“Do not Judge Me!” Something that I have heard a lot of especially in this time period. People will always judge and have pre-misconceptions about who you are and what you stand for. I liked the statement made that the roots of prejudice, racism, and sexism is one of the most uncomfortable things to explore and yet the hardest to understand. How true is that? It is always something society tip toes around while it shapes our society. If people had a better understanding of others cultures, traditions, or “norms” than some people may have an easier time to be open minded and understand things that are different and easily discriminated towards. The nature of people is to want to justify the reason they think or believe certain things. Although we live in a world where prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination is easily taught, I hope that in the future we can educate ourselves into being less negative implicit bias.

[@Sensansenkai]

Hank, I can't tell you how much this series has helped me get through my Intro to Psychology class. I can honestly say that I retain more information from these videos than I do from the 30+ page chapters I read for the class every week. So thanks!

[@anunair5113]

I have my social psychology exam tomorrow and Hank is a total lifesaver.

[@ميموالغامدي-ب1ض]

Just like how Americans always judge the Middle Eastern area, there are a lot of judgements about Americans here too. When I first moved there, I imagined they would be these uncaring people. I thought that Americans were all hateful & dislikes all Muslims. I was so wrong bc people were busy and didn't care about such things. Yes, there were few people here and there, but the majority were not how everyone in the Middle East think they are. Also, there are many negative people on the internet, and I don't understand where they come from honestly since I've lived in more than one country & I've never seen anyone hating on anything as much as I did on the internet. Maybe it's bc it's easier to express hate when the person is anonymous, but sadly, many of my friends who never went to the USA think that people are racist, and xenophobic just bc of these hate comments on the internet. I guess we all do judge each other, the problem is that some people think the other group is not judging them, but they're doing the judging bc they're better or has a higher level than the other person.

[@jackvalleli4460]

I think that people express hatred and racism on the internet because there are no consequences, and there are other people that share that belief on the internet. It's a problem.

[@mylespope6203]

Well, now we can see 31% of Americans are what you thought we were

[@squid84202]

+Jack Valleli Exactly. some people who support Trump just because of his hate and not because of his business policies claim to be the biggest fans but you never see Trump fans in person besides rallies, at least here.

[@augustusself8119]

+beaub m Yeah I think people mostly hate online, because of the lack of consequences like Jack Valleli said. Also, anyone can use it, and you will definitely find all kinds of people. People that agrees or disagrees with you.

[@AlaskaEsq]

+Moduhlize very biased comment, the people you are referring to claim their support based off the very fact that those from your standpoint claim to be offended by it. Not because of racism. Not because the media tries to associate him with hate. The biggest display of hatred I've seen in recent politics is by the very people who protest him, burning flags, assaulting officers and supporters, claiming they stand for acceptance...

[@godeketime]

These comments are amazing. There is a lot of insecurity on display here as people frantically defend their in-groups, often displaying the worst behavior of the in-group while disavowing that exact behavior they are participating in. Much irony, little self awareness and probably several publications worth of sociological data here.

[@sirloxleymendoza972]

When my computer screen turns black its stops working. why is that?

[@TheRageCommenter]

Sir Loxley Mendoza it’s systemic racism bro. Ur computer is prejudiced against blacks. Send it to a concentration camp and force it to donate 20% of its processing power to BLM. Should fix the issue.

[@SethWatersVlogs]

Positive Stereotypes can be harmful as well. Positive stereotypes are attributing something held to be good to a person or people. For example, in our culture, having a larger penis is good. I'm sure all of you have heard and most of you thought that black biosex males have large penises. But this can be extremely shameful for a black male whose penis would not fall into that "large category". Same thing with saying black people can sing well, Asian people are good at math, Eastern Europeans are strong, Kenyans are fast. Imagine how awful it must be to have everything think you're good at something and then not be: the sighs, let-downs, pauses. People have explored this, such as MadTV's Average Asian sketches, as well as lots of stuff on Key&Peele. Positive Stereotypes are just as harmful as negative ones, just in less obvious ways.

[@Grigori7]

"Positive Stereotypes are just as harmful as negative ones" I...I don't know about that. "Just as harmful"? A black dude with an average dick may have to deal with the embarrassment of a positive stereotype, but I don't think that positive stereotype is just as equally harmful as negative black stereotypes, like being assumed to be a gangster because you dressed in a hoodie, that could lead to you potentially being shot at by some asshole cops. One is way way worse. But yeah, positive stereotypes are still bad.

[@CanadianRM4]

So, if I say that black people are funny or they sound really good in choirs, is that considered racist or harmful?

[@SethWatersVlogs]

Yes, because imagine how shameful it will be to be a black person who doesn't sing well or isn't naturally funny. You'd feel inadequate.

[@nightknight1826]

Then, basically, you can't say anything about any racial group? and pretend they are all the same? that's political correct at its finest, maybe is the one who is embarrassed by his average-sized penis to suck it up instead of whining all the time.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

"Just as harmful" No, that's just not true. Nobody ever got gunned down by a positive stereotype. ~ TDG

That moment when you look at the grad school syllabus and realize your professor just assigned a Crash Course Video to watch :) This makes me so happy!

[@qjack1164]

All the things he mentioned in this video are so prevalent in the things that are going on today. So many people are fighting for their own in-group at the expense of taking down others. Rather than being hostile, we should educate on the subject by watching videos like this one that makes it easier for us to understand. By doing this, we can make this whole world a better place.

[@suppa_novaa]

This video made me realize that often times a lot of our issues are definitely fueled by in-group out-group situations and circumstances.

[@SirAmicVarze]

The reference to #GamerGate was a master stroke. CrashCourse didn't give their own view on the situation but when reading through the comments on this video you can see the different interpretations where the mere mention of the phrase applies to the prejudices that different groups hold, whether for or against it. Brilliant!

[@chameleon2819]

As always, this video does a great job breaking down different topics by providing definitions and examples. It is both interesting and sad to see how prejudice has continued in our society despite movements to get rid of it. In my opinion, many people are not overtly prejudiced anymore because they are afraid of judgement from others, which they should be, but implicit bias can be just as damaging.

[@fightemploymentdiscriminat9836]

[@mentalmindgames3336]

To anyone who does not know what #GamerGate is, it's an ongoing debate that, depending who you listen to, is either about sexism and misogyny in the industry and from gamers, or the questionable ethics in games journalism. I implore anyone interested to look up and read about both sides of the topic before making an opinion.

+Brazilian Wave You understand that in an unbiased society, both (or all) sides of an argument must be considered. This way, opinions are not oppressed, but if one argument is superior then it will become the general consensus. I may indeed agree that the feminist argument is more valid, (and whichever side you think I'm on probably influences how valid you think my comment is*) but regardless I still think both arguments should be understood. *Perfect example of the us vs. them bias. Either I'm the guy denying feminism which your comment indicates you oppose, or I'm just someone who agrees but wants to be fair.

[@bekagassman2621]

This video does a good job of distinguishing between prejudice, stereotype, and discrimination. I think the lines can get blurred and people use them in the wrong way but this video clears up any confusion.

[@Klaine1568]

I think that it is important that the differences between discrimination, prejudice, and stereotype were explained since most people think that those three words mean the same thing. This video made me think about how there is a stereotype​ associated with mental illness and how people will treat others differently who have a mental illness.

[@Ryan-Gartland-Ryan-Gartland]

For those of you studying (or teaching) history I must recommend utilizing social psychology with cultural anthropology, as these working in concert act as vibrant, exploratory compliments to the traditional examination of the chronicles of man's happenings. When possible I infuse social psychology and cultural anthropology into my teaching of history so as to add a deeper, more varied dimension of revelation and application. Understanding what goes on in peoples' minds (psychology) and how people act/react with their surroundings (anthropology) undoubtedly feeds into better understanding what people have done (history).

[@James-ep2bx]

One problem with the IAT is it starts with the stereotypical pairings thus could be inadvertently priming the test taker

[@alessandro2075]

The IAT has been heavily criticised as not actually measuring prejudice levels, and it's not considered a reliable test anymore. There is plenty of research supporting this.

[@ratatataraxia]

Hank, I just, I just LOVE all your intros.

[@DaleBernardoQueLio]

My past has been filled with opportunity for self examination regarding prejudice. I was largely ignorant of prejudice as a small child thanks to my mother. As I grew older, I became aligned to my social group's expectations and began to identify with my ethnicity. These alignments of course created all the prejudices that I have been slowly (oh so slowly) unraveling from my behavior and thought processes. Sometimes disconnecting yourself from prejudice is painful, shameful and embarrassing. Still a work in progress. Thank you Crash Course for hitting the mark on this one. Side stepping landmines on this topic can be rough.

[@cheyanneperry4932]

It is interesting to learn that the difference between prejudice and discrimination is action. I also found the part about in-group bias very interesting. It's fascinating how peoples' minds associate things and then consequences of those judgments.

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

Can we get a clarification what you meant with the #GamerGate hash tag in the beginning of the video? Is it hinting towards that the false narrative of gamer gate being about women hating (Lets not get into this discussion, it's false and it's just a tactic that the games journalism has used to deflect criticism.) or is it hinting towards on how Pro-Gamer Gate people have been wrongfully painted as only white, straight men? Or is there a third option I'm missing? Also, since the comments are full of misconceptions about GamerGate and think it's about trolling and sexism; press.gamergate.me/dossier/ & www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/355300/The-Dirty-History-of-Games-Journalism/ This pretty much outlines the timeline and the evidence for Gamer Gate and it's clearly not in favour of sexism and harassment. The very fact that we have to constantly re-inforce that is heavy proof towards people like Hank, who's openly anti-GG, have not only fallen prey to the psychological problems that this video takes up, but that he doesn't understand the very basic element of trolling and grass roots movements. Before you discuss anything in the section below, read the link that I put up there; Do not use links and sources that come from the people that gamer gate are accusing of being corrupt, as they are inherently biased in their own favour and will not tell the whole truth. Gamer Gate has been bubbling under the surface for years now and it only reached its boiling point now, to ignore almost a decade of ethical concerns by gamers and call it 'Sexism against women' is not only dishonest but a proof for how much ability the corrupt games media have power to change the narrative towards something that is false. - gamergate.me/2014/11/data-study-on-harassment/ Which shows that the Gamer Gate hashtag is generally used in discussion on topic of off topic, while only about 3% of the users of the hashtag use it for harassment, from people of those in favour and in those against Gamer Gate. If you want 'official' gamer gate stances, views and etc then you should maybe start reading directly from its supporters, instead of the claims of the games journalists that are being accused of being corrupt in the first place? gamergate.me/ - A great source for how the media is corrupt, how it's been doing the exact same thing which it's attacking gamer gate of doing (Falsely so I might add.) and other things that are frankly abhorrent.

[@mentalmindgames3336]

Personally I think it's there simply to cause people to make prejudice judgments. Nothing is implied, but seeing the graphic will cause anyone who knows about GG to come to a conclusion about the crashcourse teams stance on the subject, even though they didn't give one.

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

MentalMindGames Hm, sneaky jedi mind tricks. "These are the droids you are looking for..." They went, rubbing their beards in sadistic pleasure.

[@KaltatheNobleMind]

third. i think it was thughtcafe's attempt at being trendy with current web/geek events as well as a meta-thesis on this video's topic. #gamergate has a clear example of of the us-vs-them mentality this episode tackles. i wanna say it is ingenious because they haveadventure time's BMO displaying it and form what i understand he/she/it is the only true neutral in the show and is also a living videogame console to boot!

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

Meir Teichman You are once again falling again into the trap of gamer gate being about sexism. How is it an 'us vs them' mentality when it's tackling corruption between games journalists and game developers colluding together to get good reviews and push a specific agenda? Please... You don't understand the situation, you're viewing it with a false bias with your desire to want equality. Yes, we want equality as well between the genders but gamer gate has nothing to do with equality. It has to do with games journalists talking with game developers about the content that they create. It's a self incestous relationship between them, where the journalists give them good reviews and the developers give them money. When this information came to light they created a narrative on how it was about gamers hating women and minorities, which is just frankly false as the gaming community is one of the most accepting places you can find. However, if you think it's discriminatory to want to end corruption within journalism, then you can think that way but it's quite self defeating.

[@mentalmindgames3336]

louie wallenberg The us-vs.-them dichotomy comes from the idea that the issue is gamergate supporters-vs.-games media, or the gaming industry-vs.-misogyny in games. In this way, a lot of people do see it as one side versus another, even when there are no true 'sides'. While I think it's important that this way of thinking is removed from the argument, I still admit that it's there.

[@MestizaMetaphor]

I liked the #Gamergate reference because NEITHER side is acting like their best selves, using critical thinking to avoid bias. It's just juvenile mudslinging that makes me ashamed to be both a gamer and a feminist. Pro-gamergate folks talk a big talk about ethics in game journalism, but what about ethics in game development and in gamer communities? Anti-gamergate folks are right about some Gamergaters being misogynistic, death-threatening extremists, but it's not helpful to generalize all of them to the point of logical fallacy and avoid a discussion altogether. Great video, especially for viewers like me who are Latina, bisexual, and female. I wish the Gamergate thing wasn't totally derailing a very important and interesting topic.

I'm trans, and I am not YOUR shield for defending your worthless little hashtag.

[@WarMomPT]

[@kallytran290]

I liked how at 3:30 they made sure to explain the difference between prejudice and discrimination with attitude and behavior.

[@victoriaviera6824]

The topics covered in this crash course are so vital to our interactions with others. Often, just being aware of the implicit biases is enough to "level the playing field". I think people often harden their positions anytime there is an opposite opinion without even being aware of it. This is what often leads to the Ingroup-Outgroup Phenomenon or the "us vs. them" mentality. Being aware that our implicit thoughts play a role in our everyday life could be the difference between life and death.

[@orlandogoodwin846]

I feel that this CrashCourse is very relevant for today's society especially with everything going on with racism. I would have to say not just racism but this could be targeted towards Mental Illness as well. Many people are prejudice and discriminate people who have mental illness and they don't take the time to learn about that person. It could be how someone was raise to have views towards that topic. Very good video to inform people about Prejudice and Discrimination. Orlando Goodwin

[@briecheezit]

Hank, you mention several studies in here that I'd love to read in more depth--would it be possible in this and future videos for you/your people to put links to these studies in the description? That would be helpful to my further learning!

[@kristalmackey1312]

I took the IAT several weeks ago and found it very interesting, so I'm pleased that it's mentioned in this video. I took the test on several different areas of prejudice and was surprised at some of the results and not at all surprised at others. Even having (what I thought was...) enough self-awareness to be cognitively aware of my own implicit prejudices, I learned a lot about my automatic reactions to different variables and it has made me more aware of how I respond to those people or situations in real life.

[@hannahloy9828]

Sometimes the distinct definitions of prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination get jumbled in my head, but this video did a great job of distinguishing between the three! I also found the Implicit Association Test, or AIT, and in-group/outgroup examples rather interesting and amusing; the AIT works very effectively to point out just how "automatic" and betraying prejudices of the mind can be, as he mentions in the video. Also, the only defining characteristic of the created groups in the video was people wearing sneakers versus people wearing other shoes, yet each in-group eventually considered themselves the superior group! I feel like that just really supports the in-group bias to a T. Great video.

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

Predjudace is something allot of people need to consider when discussing issues of Sexism. Because our culture has particular stereotypes that depict women in a certain way, many of us may go along with it even if we are not actively discriminating against women. When something is considered the default, we barely give it a second glance or even rationalise the behaviour! Having Predjudice does not make us inheritly bad people, especially when an entire culture is built around it. But recognising predjudice will help us avoid situations where we get caught out in making women uncomfortable, and generally work to end discrimination as a whole!

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

Lets discuss the prejudice against men too and then lets have a bit more of a discussion about the subject. There is huge discrimination going on against males for them simply being males as well, sexism doesn't mean 'misogyny' and we need to keep that in mind. The court system The lack of the fathers parental rights Forced enlistments and drafts The lack of support for male domestic abuse victims The 5x higher male suicide rate The stoic male paradigm that both males and females enforce The lack of male students reaching higher education due to a system that doesn't take into account male learning 90% of all work related deaths being males I can go on and on about this though a lot of the discussion only focuses on what you see with sexism against females without even taking into the account of the systemic bias against men in the court system and the systemic favouritism of females in it.

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

louie wallenberg Most of those are more due to stereotyping and restrictive gender roles than predjudice, but indeed it does factor in. Thankfully Feminists do discuss those issues when given the space to do so, and will work with anyone attempting to fix them. It's just a matter of not using it to derail a conversation.

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

The Nightmare Rider "When given space to do so" and yet, I've not seen a single issue that men face being solved by feminists. Lets say, the most important right issue since the dawn of civilization that still goes on without a single feminist attacking the issue; The draft. We send out men and boys to die, taking away their freedom to have them fight and kill strangers they have no quarrel with. To die so that women and children can live, and that the rich can get richer. The issues about men facing longer sentences and going to jail more often than women for doing the exact same crimes hasn't even been touched by the feminist party from where I live. Instead, feminists tend to discuss things like "Ban bossy" and "slut shaming" as if those have any kind of importance compared to the right for an 18 year old boy to not have his freedom stripped away, handed a gun and then blown to bits. Or lets talk about the domestic abuse relief effort that goes on in most western countries, it's estimated that around 45% of victims of domestic abuse are male yet... They only receive 0.1% of the relief funding. This isn't an issue that you see feminists tackle and when I bring it up, I'm called a woman hater and a misogynist. Lets talk about the MRA movement which can't even hold a meeting without being attacked by feminists for merely wanting to discuss the right of male babies to keep their genitals intact, or the issue of the male only draft, or the problems men face in the work place because of an ever increasing hostile environment towards men. You do not see work from feminists to help boys who are 5x more likely to commit suicide, instead this funding and help goes towards girls who have been called a 'slut'. You don't see feminists working for male rights, I've never seen a single instance for where feminists fought for a male right without it being a secondary objective to that of a female right.

[@M.M.Y.B]

If we're talking draft here lets ask some questions. 1) don't they excuse all the incapable/physically deterred ( like asthma) from service? 2) though many woman have proven the physical ability to pass the tests, is it thus though that all women can pass the same tests. 3) it is widely know that men are physically more capable than women. Men and women have different physical strengths (like giving birth and lifting), not to say that there are no exceptions. With this is mind, would the average woman be able to be trained in the same amount of time as the average man, or would her services be better used in a setting where she can accomplish all that needs to be done... Just a few questions....

[@theravenousrabbit3671]

Molly B They excuse all incapable people from the military (As they would create more harm than positives.) and in a lot of infantry roles, women would create more harm than they'd benefit. From what I've read, a lot of women don't pass the test and that is the reason for why we don't see many women in the military however... If a woman can accomplish the infantry role like any man? Yeah, of course, she should have the ability (And responsibility) to be a part of the military.

isn't overweight people are less healthy than people who are fit just a general fact rather than a prejudice, and I don't mean that overweight people are less healthy other than the fact that they are not within the optimal weight for their height, which often results in negative health risks than an individual with a slimer figure. If all of the traits of two figures were the same except their body mass, the heavier individual would be less healthy.

[@sejrefraincisa4276]

Not always true. You can be overweight and be more healthy than someone at the "correct" weight. It mostly depends on how heavy they are, because some one who is 10, 20, or maybe even 30 pounds overweight can still live a healthy life. There are other factors like age, drug use, diet, and genetics that can also effect the overall healthiness of the individual. My point is that not every single overweight person is unhealthy.

[@RomanNardone]

I made the comparison that if you had a set of twins who were exactly the same except for their weight, the more overweight individual would be less healthy because it is an intrinsic value to weighing more than is appropriate for your figure.

[@CardsNHorns04]

But then you're assuming that all overweight people are out of shape. I would certainly say an College of NFL offensive lineman is in more shape than the skinny gamer kid who plays Call of Duty all day long. It's about viewing a person in their individual situations.

[@jenibeanie]

It comes down to lifestyle. If someone who is overweight eats a balanced diet, and exercises regularly, they can still be healthier than someone who is thin, but does not eat right or exercise. Being overweight sometimes just has to do with their metabolism and/or hormones, not their lifestyle. If you don't eat right and aren't active, you will have health problems regardless of your weight.

[@RomanNardone]

All I'm saying is that there is a known factor in health that is related to weight. Insurance companies know it and charge more for the pounds that you have. That's not to say that being skinnier makes you more healthy in other aspects in your life but regardless of anything else you will for be unquestionably more able than someone who is overweight because that makes you intrinsically less healthy. TheJenBong you say if an individual eats right and excercises regularly they will be healthier than a skinnier individual who does not do those things. While I agree statically the overweight individual will have a higher cholesterol just by the fact that he or she has more weight. Over time if the heaver person continues on their regimen, they will become less overweight and thus more healthy and over time the skinny person will lose the figure they had without the diet and fitness that preserves individuals.

[@CUEriksson]

A thought I had regarding the statistics for the willingness of people to vote for a qualified female president: I feel that even though people have an improved view on that these days, I reckon for a female to be considered "qualified" for presidency by the vast majority of people she'd have to be more qualified than her male counterparts. I feel that's an important factor; women still do have to do a lot more to be taken seriously, even today.

and we've found your prejudice. you assume that all people think that way, when not only is that not true (because if you think hillary is more qualified than bernie you're drunk or brainwashed, yet she's winning), in many ways the trends reverse. people want to protect women. this is an ancient biological function i'm not getting in to now, but this feeling has extended into places it really doesn't belong. for example, the population of america is 51% female. how many of those women voted for a man over a woman? yet somehow, it's not their fault women rarely get close to the white house? more women than men are in college and university, yet there are still campaigns screaming about how men dominate post-secondary institutions. women have it easier to get into many jobs, firefighter is an example. they lowered the physical requirements because while most men could pass them, few women could. but hey, when your job is lifting a burning house off a child, it's a good thing you don't meet the physical requirements but got hired anyway, right? these are your prejudices. you assume society holds women down when it's not only become rare, but an intensely hated action in the west. and finally, to quote the internet: "check yourself before you wreck yourself."

As always, enjoyed the CrashCourse Psychology video. As mentioned, it is important to note the interrelatedness of prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping while keeping them as separate entities. It is of increasing importance in today's social climate.

[@19Lillybug]

I did not know that there was test that could help open the eyes of people about the different biases and attitudes that we might have. I think that it is a cool tool to use if wanting to but it is always there. Another factor that I did not completely know is the difference between prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination. They are so close that you really have to look to tell the difference in different scenarios. They all tie into each other in the scenarios too. The fact that we have all been prejudice and have all done it, is apparently a human emotion that happens without realizing.

[@Stikibits]

Here's the most heinous prejudice suffered in the (fascist) USA: “The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.” -Adam Smith Scottish political economist (1723-1790) - See more at: inequality.org/quotes/#sthash.auzgwkCB.dpuf

[@110zen]

Last time I checked, the Rich were hated by pretty much everyone but the Rich.

[@fenrirthewolf5417]

To be fascist is to believe the state is more important than the people and the people are here only to serve the state. So by definition as country in which poor people are hated for being poor and rich liked for being rich cant be fascist because the only people looked highly at are those who give a lot to the state and the people. So soldiers who are poor are respected more than the rich fat guy who does nothing. And vice versa a rich man who give to charity a lot or owns a vital business for the nation is more respected than a homeless man who lives off the government.

[@Stikibits]

US policy is set firmly to fascism. Many, many Americans are fascists, and are too ignorant to know they're voting fellow fascists into power.

[@fenrirthewolf5417]

Did you not just read what I wrote. America may be many things but we are not fascist. The only semblance between us and fascism is our patriotism. Which by the way is more directed towards the people than the state. If we lived in a fascist state you would not have people protesting all the time against stupid things. If we were fascist you would not have corrode rations and politicians getting richer off if the wars we fight. If we were fascist we would not be helping other nations with foreign aid or interventions. If we were fascist you would not have half the country saying we need to end the wars and the other half saying we need to do more. You would not have seen the push back of Obama care or gun control by the American people. Because those things would be benificial to the state and to the people but not to the individual.

This was A LOT of information to cover in a short amount of time & honestly my brain didn't comprehend all of it. From what I gathered prejudice is just another term for prejudging, which is common & most of the time we aren't even conscious of it. Gender, Ethnic back-ground, Culture, & Socioeconomic-status are all areas that prejudice stems from. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) I found interesting and before this video, knew nothing about. I like the fact that it measures attitudes/beliefs that people may be unwilling to report.

deadeaded Gamergaters have been target by feminists too, as logged in KYM. KYM has also logged examples of people faking plans to dox anti-GG, likely trollls, possibly anti-GG trying to sabotage. GG is a hashtag with no central organization. Ignoring the points that the majority talk about in order to focus on a few instances that are largely condemned is akin to judging all muslims based on ISIS and Boko Haram. If you want a lighter comparison, it's like judging the entire football team based on the one or two dicks that nobody in the team likes.

[@darkwraithraziel6362]

It's not even just men, it's opposing view points. As I'm sure you know there are a ton of women in #gamergate and they're all treated like dirt by those who hate the movement just because the women aren't fitting their stereotype. The thought process "What? You're a woman! How could you not identify as a feminist?" is heavy throughout a lot of society. People should be treated as individuals no matter what their gender, sex, ethnicity, ect. The only time you should be judged with other people is when you form a group and agree with said group entirely and act as if everyone in that group is perfectly in line with your ideals.

[@PajamaMan44]

Chester It originally started out as deceptive and dishonest journalism in electronic entertainment media. But I guess one of the parties involved had some influence in a small feminist movement, so people that were calling out the dishonest journalism and happened to be male were then labeled as misogynistic.

[@GameTaffy]

Question about the test: Do they always start with Young/Pleasant on the left, or do they ever start with Young/Unpleasant and switch to the opposite? As a gamer, a major challenge for me is when a game reverses the controls. For example, on the last phase of the final boss fight in Beyond Good & Evil, the directional controls are reversed. Even though this is the shortest phase, reversing the direction controls caused me to mess up more often. If I was given the test with Young/Unpleasant and Old/Pleasant as my starting point, I would mess up when switched to Young/Pleasant and Old/Unpleasant.

[@Sotoffen]

I got the exact same problem. Seriously the test trains you to do the first associations then turns it around on you. It seems obviously faulty to me for that reason alone. By doing that you are essentially leading the question. It's a great example of how difficult it is to unlearn patterns when you've first learned them though. The test just seems rigged, I don't doubt that if you turned Demographic1 and Demographic2 around then the test would show prejudice towards Demographic1 instead of Demographic2.

[@enilenif]

When I did the test, it said apparently it's random. Also, apparently it can account for some (although not all, and I don't know how they've controlled for it) of the difference in individual cases but the biases are still there on a population level.

[@Isthecakereallyalie]

Good on you guys for calling out Gamergate. It's not easy to stand up to bullies.

[@Greyinkling276]

The bullies tend to get their friends together to help beat the crap out of you, then they go to the principal and tell him you attacked them, little old you, against all of them. Then when you get in trouble, the bullies being more popular tell the whole school about how horrible you are, how you punched them without cause, and get the whole school hating you, all while still cornering you when you're alone to beat the crap out of you. And as you wander the hallways people mutter to each other about you, either about staying away so they don't get bullied to, or one of the many rumors about how horrible of a person you are, or how much of a loser. Because they can never keep the story right. Are you a dangerous and scary antagonist, or a joke to be laughed at? Whichever makes your accuser look best at the time I guess. But by all means, gamergate are the bullies. Silly little white boys being mean meanies to 'women' for 'literally no reason'.

So, guys, here's the thing about GamerGate: Many GamerGaters may indeed simply be fighting for journalistic transparency, which is fine. But unfortunately, many GamerGaters are also being misogynistic, violent assholes--threatening (and carrying out) harassment, doxxing, rape, and even threatening to murder an entire crowd of innocent people if a female game industry rep gave a speech. And you may say "but that's not what GamerGate is about!" But let's make a comparison here (once that's often misused, but actually applies this time): consider the Nazis in WWII. How did they start? Do you think they all started by wanting to kill everyone else? No. They started to help Germany, which had fallen on hard economic times. I'm not saying "if you're in GG, you'll become a Nazi!" And I'm not even saying "if you're in GG but aren't misogynistic, you will be soon." What I AM saying is that just like Nazism changed from a social welfare group to a genocidal world-domination organization, GamerGate has been redefined by the minority within it because of their actions. Is it fair to the decent GamerGaters? No, not at all. But it's the truth, it's how the world (and psychology) works. The saying "one bad apple spoils the bunch" is so unbelievably true. So I say instead of screaming at everyone to just respect you as a GamerGater, you should have your own schism. If you're fighting for journalistic integrity and are NOT a woman-hating douchebag, then don't associate yourself with those douchebags in name. Call yourself something new; "ClearGamers" or "Journalistic GamerGaters" or anything else. Just separate yourself from the assholes and people won't associate you with the assholes.

[@jurgenschreiber6747]

Every time I hear people claim that gamergate is harassing people I ask for proof. Every time I ask for proof I either get told to fuck off, or get accused of sea lioning. I'm going to say with a FACT that you hate babies. Why do you hate babies? Also, changing the name literally changes nothing. What is to stop someone from wanting to sabotage GamerGate to sabotage CleanGamers? or Journalistic GamerGaters? It's a public thing anyone can participate in. Anyone can claim to be gamergate and carry out horrible things. What is your solution? Change the tag again? To what? How many times does it need to be changed before you realize that changing it accomplishes nothing?

[@IceMetalPunk]

Here's just one specific example: kotaku.com/felicia-day-and-gamergate-this-is-what-happens-now-1650544129 An example of a more violent harassment: www.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/technology/gamergate-women-video-game-threats-anita-sarkeesian.html?_r=0 As for your last paragraph, I think you misunderstand the intent of violent and rude GamerGaters. Most of them are not trying to sabotage the GamerGate name--they're doing so unintentionally simply because they believe they're in the right and that this is what being part of GamerGate means. By splitting off into a faction unassociated with their actions, you allow them to be their own douchey selves under the GamerGate flag while you get to fight for actual justice under your own, untainted flag. Most violent GamerGaters will not suddenly change their name, because they're not TRYING to taint your name. They're mostly not trolls: they're just ignorant, hateful people.

To be honest, as a European I perceived the "us vs. them dichotomy" as a very american problem that is deeply rooted in the two party system. I know that some people have related perceived dichotomies to Western culture in general, but personally I perceive it as much less problematic in the political discourse in countries with multi-party systems. Especially in the last year I observed how many multi-dimensional social problems that could easily be fixed with a pragmatic approach were turned into ideologic, one dimensional left vs right / conservative vs liberal issues. Also I perceive american news as much more biased and polarizing than before (on both sides,e.g. fox as well as msnbc and Huffington Post). Now I wonder if I've just become more aware of these issues or if there is any evidence for my original hypothesis. Does anybody know if there are any papers that relate the political system to the emergence of binarisms?

[@Rodman200818]

I generally agree with you, but in europe the us vs them dichotomy is much more pervasive than you may think. For example, immigration is a huge issue in europe. In many countries there is growing discontent, where a large group sees it as an invasion of their own cultures. They will get confirmation bias as most crime is linked with minorities. Its a negative thought cycle. The radical right movement is growing at crazy speed in Europe, very reminiscent of ultra nationalism: us vs them. But I do certainly agree that with a binary party system, there is higher chance of polarizing politics and people.

soslothful Basically, there were rumors a female game developer screwed around for better reviews of her game, and it sparked a huge debate online over gaming journalism. However, radical feminists made it more out to be that people were mad at her because she was a female game developer, basically causing both sides to be arguing about different things. Anti-gamergaters were on the radical feminist side, arguing about the (almost completely) nonexistent sexism in gaming, while the pro-gamergaters were talking about problems with game journalism. Hank Green is a radical feminist (John I'm not sure about), so the "gamergate" thing at the beginning was a "jab" at the people who are pro-gamergate, since the anti-gamergaters see the pro-gamergaters as sexists. It got convoluted towards the end there, hope the point still went across.
