Sparked by a public display of sexual harassment in 2012, GTFO pries open the video game world to explore a 20 billion dollar industry that is riddled with discrimination and misogyny. In recent years, the gaming community has grown more diverse than ever. This has led to a massive clash of values and women receive the brunt of the consequences every day, with acts of harassment ranging from name calling to cyber vandalism and death threats. Through interviews with video game developers, journalists, and academics, GTFO paints a complex picture of the video game industry, while revealing the systemic and human motivations behind acts of harassment. GTFO is the beginning of a larger conversation that will shape the future of the video game world. Written by Anonymous
This is a dishonest propaganda piece in similar vein to one's you'd see from the church of Scientology or even similar to how the Nazi party did with Jews after World War 1. The sole intent of this movie was to demonize. And it does a relatively good job at that. It paints the attackers (Gamers) as not humans with rational thoughts and feelings. But as nothing but hate mongers, in order to assassinate that identity and to shame any viewer who is a gamer to feel bad. It's a giant mess of rich kids fishing for sympathy from online hordes. It's Britney Spears crying about her jet being silver. instead of platinum. It's almost impossible to feel bad for the victims. They are literally complaining about smack talk in an online game where competitive environments are thriving. You know that guy that said "I got you sucka'" on Call duty. Apparently he was sexually harassing you and you didn't even know it. Online gaming is not your hugbox, stop pretending online gaming is preschool
