Ramblings About #GamerGate
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So I have a lot of image files that I've used throughout Gamergate and I've been recording with.
And so I thought I'd just go through them and give some commentary on them because I've been planning to use them at some point, but the end of GameGate hasn't quite come yet, so no one clamouring for those three women to have ethics.
Are they journalists?
No, they're fucking liars and colours.
We expect ethics from the media.
That's a really great point.
And I'm just going to ad hoc all this bullshit because I can't really remember what any of them are.
I was just going through a couple thinking, wow, these are brilliant.
I might just record this.
So I'm going to record it.
But that's, I mean, it's, whoever posted that is a fucking great point.
No one cares if Zoe Quinn and all that have ethics.
It's not fucking journalists.
Jenny Goodchild.
Show me what you've achieved.
Not charities or hashtags.
But what have you found out?
What corruption have you exposed?
For fuck's sake, Jenny.
The whole thing's based on corruption.
I mean, how about Brianna Wu being on the same podcast as her friend that gave her a fucking award for her game?
It's constant with you fucking people.
There is just no place that is not fucking corrupt.
Literally, until today, I did not know that Brianna Wu was implicated in any corruption scandals.
I thought she was just an attention-seeking pain in the ass.
But it turns out that she is actually implicated in one.
I mean, she's a developer again, so I don't really care.
I'm more concerned about her fucking friend.
But Jesus Christ.
Oh, I'm not reading more Jenny Goodchild.
Don't even know what that was.
Political cutting.
Oh, that's interesting.
Keep in mind, even their concerted effort to simply read Digra papers failed because of a lack of academics among Saru.
Well, I read the fucking papers, didn't I, Jenny?
So, fuck yourself.
Also, you didn't fucking read the papers.
Because if you had, you would have realised the papers are full of shit.
Wow.
Respects as earned not shrilly demanded from Brianna Wu.
Retweeted by Bob Chipman.
That is precious.
Yep, well done.
You are the greatest gaming industry's greatest adversary, Anita.
Well fucking done.
Look at you.
If there was ever a face that said humorless bitch, that was it, isn't it?
Oh yeah, some artwork that someone was sending me.
The Al Jazeera thing, well why Flemers finally dumped Lena Dunham?
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
I don't know.
But that's from Samantha Allen of all fucking people.
Jesus Christ.
Just two of the worst people on earth having a scrap.
Yeah, that's the...
Because I'm a gamer, but I'm not a Gamergate gamer.
Why not?
Because misogyny is not even remotely attractive.
As if anyone gives a fuck, honestly.
Gaming isn't just a dated demographic label that most people increasingly prefer not to use.
Gamers are over.
That's why they're so mad.
Oh, this would be Leia Alexander.
These obtuse shitslingers, these wailing hypersons humans, these childish internet arguers, they're not my audience.
They don't have to be yours.
Yeah, I'm sure we'll find the Gum Sutra rankings all as we go along.
Oh, that's Canon S. Julie's Fields picture that I did for a while ago.
I don't know why.
Oh yeah, yeah, this is kind of the problem here, isn't it?
So we've got Phil Fish, Ramy Ismail, fucking Zoe Quinn, Robin R. Not, and Heather Kelly from CNN.
And I don't even know who the other people fucking are.
But I mean, these two people were both promoted indirectly and directly by Nathan Grayson.
And Phil Fish and Ramy Ismail are just fuck off the pair of you.
Don't know what's that.
Hmm.
I suspect.
Oh, Luke O'Neill, oh yeah, him and Sam Biddle hated geeks and wanted to bring back bullying.
Like very nice gentlemen.
So I hear the word bigot being thrown around a lot.
And they don't seem to understand that bigot is someone who is intolerant to those who hold different opinions.
Every single social justice warrior classifies as a bigot.
There's no getting around it.
They are not in any way tolerant to people who hold different opinions to them.
Just a nice picture of Bob Chipman there for you.
So next time he tells anyone to grow up, just tweet the picture of this aim.
Bob.
Just, yeah, Bob, there's a movement of people who are really trying to defend child molestation.
You're a fucking moron.
Honestly, there's literally no way that such a thing could really exist, is there, Bob?
I mean, fucking hell.
Imagine someone like Shigeru Miyamoto applying a triple F today.
I don't code and I'm not really a big gamer.
Hired hell no.
That seems to have fucking worked for any Sarkeesian.
How the fuck are any of you in games?
You're literally all going on gamers shit.
We don't like games.
Games aren't fun.
That's what we want.
How have any of you got a job?
The fucking social justice warrior who wrote Far Cry 4.
Why is he writing for Far Cry 4?
Why are they employing him to do the job?
You know, I mean, the story's okay, but it's not like anything that my hair's not blown back.
I suppose Pagan Men's pretty good, but the rest of it is just a meter.
Oh, fucking come on.
Never ever choose woman on your first playthrough of the internet because you'll face an immediate difficulty spike.
Suddenly it's a stealth game with nowhere to hide.
With one moment, one with hundreds of responding enemies waiting to attack you the moment you make a noise or stand out in any way whatsoever.
The enemy AI is sophisticated and unpredictable.
It stays your weaknesses and moves to exploit them instead of shooting fireballs at you if your foes bombard you with unrelenting abuse.
I think I would rather that than fireballs, frankly.
But yeah, that's what being a woman on the internet is like.
Seems to be a small yet vocal core of maniacs bafflingly resistant to the notion that women should have any say in the games industry at all.
Yeah, I don't know where they are.
I don't know who they are.
I know that these people think that's Gamergate, but I have no idea who they are and there are plenty of women supporting Gamergate who obviously don't.
I mean what kind of fucking retardation is this?
But obviously it's just propaganda.
I can't remember what I was getting that for.
I can't remember what I was getting this for either, but isn't that brilliant?
Oh yeah, Anita Sarkeesian.
This is why she does it.
$35 an hour.
That's what she gets paid.
$35 per listener at a Sydney venue in March 2015.
Someone should go there and record it.
I'd love to hear it.
This is Chloe.
Has an internet drama?
Boom.
Well, it doubles the amount she gets on Patreon.
Jesus.
If I were Matt Taylor, I would have made the same apology in the ex oh yeah, with shirt stone.
This is the best comment anyone posted on the video.
I'd have made the same apology in the exact same way, only I would have worn the exact same shirt while doing it.
Man, that would have just been fucking priceless.
Yeah, arrest people, yes, for something else.
Yeah, calling MRAs as bad as I am.
And that's just awful.
I'm way worse than the MRAs.
Studies suggest that gamers simply want to get good.
Yep.
These are comments of the day, I can tell.
I'm almost not even offended.
Progressives 2014.
Lena Dunham had some improper incestuous relationships when she was a child.
She's not a paedophile.
Whether she's now or not.
A feminist is up for debate.
See, this is someone who's going to try and kick Lena Dunham out of the feminist club for dealing with her sister when she was younger.
And I know he leaves that the, you know, when she was 17 and wanking when she was having a cuddle with her sister or something.
Yeah.
Sorry, Bob Chipman.
Who's defending the pedos?
Hmm?
Sorry, I should have actually read that first.
I should have pruned these, but fuck it, I don't care.
Quit women of colour started drop dunham, and now they're a right-wing conspiracy.
Oh, yes, yes.
Arguing with people, he said, gamers are debt.
I know it's not much, but paying $4 an article, there's nothing implying paying for reviews.
Yeah, okay, there we go.
It's a good thing Cara isn't a consumer advocate.
She's a critic.
I'm just going to skip over that.
How many people feel, gosh, why does this movement attract so many terrible people?
Dan, also, Dan, buddy.
Have you noticed that the people in the social justice movement are fucking horrible?
I mean, like, really nasty fucking people that you actually would not want to associate with under any conditions at all.
And yet, you all seem to have coalesced into a group.
I mean, I don't think you personally are a bad person.
But seriously, just look at the way these people treat others.
and it's just foul, like Bob Chipman, for example.
You know, links to Milo's thing.
And he's classified Breitbart as dangerous.
Because Breitbart is a right-wing publication.
And Bob thinks that any kind of challenge to his ideological orthodoxy is dangerous and should be eradicated.
Political philosophical leanings that reach into the inferior past and or discourage empathy have always been threats.
You have finally discussed and discovered social justice, Bob.
This is why you get fucking, you cause trouble in every community you fucking go to.
You know, the atheists, apparently the BDSM community have the same thing.
Metalheads are about to get the same fucking thing.
The foundations are being laid.
You guys are just a fucking scourge.
Oh yes, Dara O'Brien.
Oh Dara, I'm very fucking disappointed.
Don't like seeing women abused.
Well, that's neither do I.
We were on the same page, in fact, that's what I said.
You know, that's the same opinion as pro and anti-Gamergate.
That's really not the issue.
Of course, this is where Dar O'Brien decided to just completely give up on the idea.
And I love this.
But video game journalism ethics, it's like this whole thing, for someone who claims to be a sceptic and should be a reasonably intelligent man, I was fucking disappointed about this, right?
Compared to campaigns like this, no one gives a shot.
But video game journalism ethics, no one cares.
Listen to yourself, Dara.
Listen, right?
Nobody, nobody is advocating for attacking women.
And yet when we say, look, we have evidence of corrupt gaming journalism, our hobby that we spend money on that is bigger than the fucking film industry, no one cares.
Really?
Did they actually not care?
Because I think that's actually what Gamergate was about, wasn't it?
I think it's actually people giving a fuck.
But you're literally, literally suggesting everyone in Gamergate abuses women for a star, which is disgusting.
And that for some reason, it's okay that these people are corrupt.
It's fine.
It's just, you know, no, it's fine.
No one cares that they're corrupt.
It's fine.
We know that they're advancing all their friends and, you know, whatever goddamn connections they've got.
And they're creating a little clique and they're being complete cunts.
They're using secret journalist lists.
They're colluding.
It doesn't matter.
They're fixing war ceremonies.
It doesn't matter.
No one cares.
No one cares.
Just, you know, stop abusing women.
It's okay.
Done.
Done.
Now can we talk about the ethics, please?
Oh, there's shoot.
The unsexy reality of breasts.
It's okay when we do.
Oh yeah, my docks and stuff.
Oh yeah.
Doctor Who.
Apparently the Christmas Doctor Who this year.
The idea of sexual assault was completely glossed over.
May seem not that bad.
And racism was turned into a joke.
Best episode yet.
Social justice warriors, man.
I thought Doctor Who was already social justice.
Devon Wilson.
honestly what a spastic and i've gone through all that in other videos Yeah, sorry, George.
I know you're a social justice warrior.
Sorry, I'm trying to actually get to...
You know what else has nothing to do with journalistic ethics concerns?
Gamergate.
Yeah, I know that we keep going on about it.
I know that Daro Brian's like, look, just stop talking about journalistic ethics.
No one cares.
It's all about misogyny.
Okay.
It's nice that our opponents get to define us.
It's nice that our opponents get to define exactly what we want.
Because, I mean, I personally would like to see some fucking ethical standards.
I realize that outside of Gamergate and the other related sort of anti-social justice communities, I suppose, no one cares.
In the wider world, no one gives a fuck.
They're all completely pro-corruption.
But God forbid, a woman hear nasty words on the internet, you can't talk.
You're an evil person.
How dare you want something other than to console this woman?
I just don't care about the woman.
Give them armed guards, for fuck's sake.
Just, you know, lock them in a fucking fortress, you know, so they can't be touched.
I don't care.
I'm sure we can all donate to a giant Patreon or something to just get them off the internet and get them to a safe house at our expense, for fuck's sake.
you know, but, yeah, full Macintosh style.
Oh, brilliant.
I know I get to the full Macintosh stuff eventually.
Oh, this is one of my favourites.
Corruption and game journalism.
You must hate women.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
But it got into what was this, some urban dictionary or something.
To go full Macintosh, this says something so spectacularly stupid, so utterly devoid of reason and logic, so completely disconnected from reality, it can only come from the mouth of Jonathan Macintosh.
And that is a quote from Jonathan Macintosh under it.
For example, why Gamergate already lost?
Suffrages on the warpath, jump on him, he's only a men, man.
Oh, God, John, this is going to be a fucking running theme, isn't it?
So many angry delusional men.
Not a single one.
There was just none.
None at all.
This is Alex Lifshitz, known cold titty man.
Someone from GameGate is literally trying to kill her, except they weren't, were they, Alex?
You fucking.
But I mean, the video game industry is decadent depraved, so, I mean, I don't want you thinking that it's not.
Gaming has even managed to weaponize charity.
Oh, that's right, Alex.
No, you complain about charity work that's being done.
That's the.
Fuck it.
You're going to do it, aren't you?
Fuck Jenny Good child.
I can't even bother the reader.
Yeah, Macintosh actually going insane here.
K-Li-Gate is an attack on ethical journalism.
Amanda Marco is probably.
She's Jessica Valenti.
Crazy.
She is actually fucking batshit.
I love this as well.
Dear GameGate, why heterosexual male nerds are not oppressed?
In fact, you're one of the most privileged groups in a whole society, which is why all of the media are shouting at you, telling you how awful you are.
They've got to change your hobby.
They're going to ban a bunch of your games.
And everyone's just going to call you fucking everything under the sun.
I mean, you should be gassed, you should be tortured.
All these things.
I mean, that was Alex Lifshitz who said that we should be broken on racks.
So, you know, but you are obviously one of the most privileged groups in our society.
You know, I mean, you work in minimum wage jobs to buy crappy games that we're not going to advise you properly on.
But you're privileged.
I mean, just remember you're privileged.
Because without all this, none of it works.
It's almost like a bulk of them have benefited from a system designed to shield the ruling class from consequence.
My my Alex Lifshitz, son of multi-millionaire David Lifshitz, presence of the Gare Group.
Who is actually talking about a ruling class here?
Because it's you, isn't it?
It's you who is the son of a multi-millionaire.
I am the son of an RAF sergeant from Yovil who came from council estate with five other brothers.
So, you know, it's not like I come from any kind of ruling class.
You dip shit.
Oh good, look, I love this.
Yesterday, Leia Alexander got to making her presenting debut hosting the Guardian Tech Weekly show.
Watch her XOXO first.
She literally does not give a fuck about tech, suggesting that Kristina Hoffsummers supports rape.
Very good.
Oh, this is Lego Butts retweeting.
Sadly, some pro-GG students think not hiring them equals discrimination.
That is discrimination.
That is literally unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age or sex.
Who cares if Leia Alexander's white or not?
She's evil.
It's important to be critical of the games you enjoy, but it might also be good to be a little critical of why you enjoy shooting dudes in the face.
Oh god, that's good.
I'm perfectly capable of separating interactive fiction from reality.
Does not affect my moral compass in any way.
But whoa, that's not how it works, I'm afraid.
Media influence is typically an unconscious process.
Look up narrative transportation theory, or as I like to call it, narrative transportation fact.
For fuck's sake, Macintosh, not everything written to paper or on Wikipedia was true.
Obviously, there's no such thing as sexism against men, because men, because sexism is prejudice plus power, apparently, and men are the dominant gender with power in society, which is ironically a very sexist thing to say, because sexism is actually attitudes or behaviour based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.
And if there is a traditional stereotype of sexual roles, it's men being the dominant gender with power in society.
So that is actually fucking sexist, you cretins.
Alex Lifshitz again.
This is in his feeding up Zoe Quinn stage, where he's a big stroop waffle fan.
And this is Alex Lifshitz defooing his friends and family.
If you don't like them because you find them obsessively, if you're obsessed with race and class and gender, and you find people you know aren't, then you can just not associate with them.
That's the healthy thing to do if you're a social justice warrior.
White people, this is retweeted by Jonathan McIntosh.
White people, stop mentioning Martin Luther King, he was peaceful and you all shot him too.
Yes.
White people got together and were like, yes, shall we shoot Martin Luther King?
They're like, well, honestly, it happened about 20 years before I was born.
They're like, yeah, but we should all really agree to this, shouldn't we?
Yeah, I think the deed is done.
No, no, no.
You need to agree with this.
Alright, I'll sign it.
Markets are a destructive force and need to be abolished.
Replaced with some kind of democratic participatory planning process.
Like a market.
Capitalism pushes us into a dangerous mindset in which sexism, racism, and transphobia are seen as a matter of consumer preference.
Said the neo-Puritan who's out to ban everything he can get his hands on.
Come on, fucking Hel Macintosh.
It's media.
It's not fucking commandments.
Science is not only gendered, it's Eurocentric.
And so it dismisses the scientific models that favor multi-generational observation and testing.
Western science favors data over research.
Indigenous science favours results.
But if they can't see the data, then it's not real science.
So much Western science research published today shows inconclusive results.
That is science, but indigenous science is not.
Yes, yes, John.
I know that you don't understand this, but that is actually how it works.
And that's a good thing.
Not knowing for sure means that we know that sometimes our tests are returning results that we can't be sure of.
That's a good thing.
It shows us that we're not, it shows us that there is a possibility that we're getting it wrong.
I thought there was an interesting reading of the Nightmare Before Christmas as a parable for cultural appropriation.
Of course it was.
Why the fuck wouldn't it be?
I mean, it kind of is, I suppose.
These evil Halloween guys finding Christmas and going, oh my god, Christmas, let's steal this.
But the thing about cultural appropriation, John, is that you don't actually take anything away from anyone else.
You're actually just increasing the culture in other areas.
In fact, cultures traditionally wanted to propagate.
They wanted to get out and spread as much as possible.
It's weird that you guys think you're some sort of guardians of culture where it can't be spread.
It's very peculiar.
Full Macintosh scale with obviously Le Alexander at the top.
God, Sarah Busk can fuck off.
I love this.
Matt Binder.
My response to the NSNBC interview where they really think they got me, this isn't a rape tweet.
You're tweeting Mark Sanovich, you can't rape the willing.
It's like, okay, Matt.
I know what you're saying.
In retrospect, I know what you're saying.
He's like, yeah, but this is a tweet that contains the word rape.
It's like, well, yes, it does, Matt.
Well done.
But you're suggesting that what he's saying is wrong.
And literally, it starts like, what do you think the definition of rape is?
And then someone else jumps in with, asking for the definition doesn't change the fact that he's implying rape victims gave consent.
Fuck me.
If the person gives consent, then they are not a rape victim.
It's called consensual sex.
And then she says, you should walk away.
It's like, no, you are flat wrong.
You can't rape someone who's willing.
And nobody was talking about a victim.
There is no implication of victimhood in Mike's fucking tweet.
You cretins.
It's a war on women.
Been speaking to Brianna Wu, I guess.
Jonathan McIntosh pictures himself as a very buff black guy.
Someone down here.
Dig hole, bury head, flawless victory.
Nice try, Macintosh.
Is it so hard for them to understand that the reason every time they escalate things, everyone is against them because they're a bad thing, really?
Rami, that is exactly what people are saying about social justice.
You guys have gone everywhere and pissed everyone off.
There isn't a field in which people aren't getting pissed off with you people.
There's a reason that when Time magazine went, hey, what word should we ban?
Out of like these 20, one of them's feminist and it wanted a landslide.
Everyone is pissed off with you, cunts.
I mean, it's stuff like this when social justice warriors, this sort of stuff when WikiLeaks start to come out in favour of GameGate, if I recall correctly.
Bob Chippen.
There's almost no such thing as a bad tactic, only bad targets.
Bob, you were a fucking monster.
And here's John McIntosh being crazy as usual.
And some waffling.
And then, yeah, this gets us to a nice little quote from Boo from Spooky Land, whoever that is.
Ben from Canada.
You're probably too stupid to get this, but the death of gamers articles meant we are all gamers.
I guess I am too stupid to get that, because that's literally not what the Death of Gamer articles were saying.
I mean, I've read them all multiple times and it's not what the end of gamers Tumblr post was saying, and it's not what Adrian Schiller's research is saying and I've read all of it, you fuck.
So I guess I am too stupid to pick that up.
Luke, Neil from Gorka bringing but is even Gorka, I'm pretty sure what he was from some twatting shit.
But yeah, being a geek's a bad thing.
They deserve to be bad, feel bad.
They are bad.
Arrest all geeks.
Well, got fired from the Boston Globe due to my geek racism.
oh Luke doesn't that doesn't occur to you that you may be a twat oh bullying is good actually no no bullying is a good thing but yeah don't know don't know why you got fired mate don't know you can't imagine I mean weren't they okay with your geek racism in public to everyone weird fucking weird This is a nice one.
No one declared I don't doubt our identities to be over.
Actually read the articles.
Yes yes, I did.
Anyone who read those articles was aware that gamers are not actually targeted and someone's like, except when they say, stop using the term gamer, not puppets who purposely spread misinformation, get something walked away, just flat denials of fucking reality, scary ideas of toxic masculinity.
Of course, I stole this comic from someone called At Squires David, so if you actually ever watch this, he makes very, very good comics and I thoroughly recommend subscribing to him, where I just basically change I can't remember what it was originally, but I've changed to tell us about the feminist, Neo-Marxist revolution.
And it was okay.
But in the beginning it was prosperity and wealth and trade amongst the nations and the video game industry rose above the other markets.
It was inclusive, easy to access, diverse and productive.
Those fools did not read the magnificent writings of Adrian Shore and Shira Chess, Mia Casava or T.L. Taylor, for shame.
Did they not realize how evil they and their white male gamer privilege was?
But the Neo-Marxist, Feminist revolution changed all that.
The kids says, Marx bless our feminist overlords.
Marx Bless Homer Gone Home.
Marx Blessed Depression.
Quest marks blessed games without points, quests without challenge, reviews without scores and characters without distinguishing features.
To be fair, reviews without scores.
I've actually had my mind changed on um, not that I was ever really in favour of it to be with us.
I haven't really thought about it.
Marks bless the glorious gaming future we live in.
Marx bless doom without guns.
Duh genderless, child feminist Marxism has successfully made games art by sucking the fun out of them and declaring games to be over, to which the kids go.
Yay, in the apocalyptic ruins of gaming, I'm sure it won't get that bad because you know money.
But um, these fucking people man oh hey Leigh, how's Gamer Sutri doing?
That's a lot of red.
I mean considering you want to be global rank of one and you are down by almost three thousand ranks since gaming game's been going on um and the bounce rate is 66% and you don't even get two page reviews.
People are viewing on average one fucking page Lei, one page.
Most people are not getting to that second page before they close your fucking site.
Oh, Gaming Gate Political Compass, this is interesting.
Most people turned out to be left-leaning libertarians.
By a fucking landslide.
Some right-leaning libertarians, but the common feature is libertarian.
At the arch.
Oh, the new games.
Um I can't bother to read that now.
Stuff.
The green-purple colour scheme of Gamergate mascot Vivian James, a reference to a 4chan rape joke.
That is a remarkably purple and green logo you've got there, John.
Don't know why you're okay with rape jokes.
Hate group is happy with the video game award.
Maybe it's a sign your industry has a serious problem, Sands.
When all you can do is call a consumer revolt hate group, just because it doesn't fit your narrative, the sign is that you have a problem.
Totally agree, John Edwards.
Oh, yes, Valve with hatred on fucking thing.
Oh, Valve, you're such bad people.
Jonathan McIntosh is going to remonstrate you.
The Neo-Puritans have arrived to tell you just how awful you are, Steve.
Just awful.
And there's a war on women in Gamergate, of course.
Yes, nobody can stop them.
Yes, I'm a gamer.
They've been calling me nobody for years.
Yeah, Adrian Shaw's, Bollocks.
This industry, this medium, games, is more than what any group can claim is a domain of its own.
Yes, it is.
Thanks to the market that Jonathan McIntosh wants to destroy.
And what do you think you people are doing, Rami?
Well, actually, you're using ISIS bots to promote the hashtag stopGamergate2014.
Nice one.
Don't know why you'd do that.
I really have no fucking idea why you'd do that.
Any other bots would have done fine.
And the thing is, Black Ops surpassed Planet's population.
Jonathan McIntosh must be going fucking spare.
You know, it doesn't matter that violence levels have gone down as computer game playing levels have gone up.
It really doesn't matter.
To him that means nothing, even though more people now than ever before are playing violent video games and there are less crimes than ever before now, he's absolutely convinced that video games make you violent and we are literally primed for an orgy of destruction in Jonathan McIntosh's mind, so he cannot stop going on about it.
Oh nice one Devin Ferraci.
Would you employ a Klansman?
That's what you get when you discover you employ a Gamergate supporter.
Very classy.
Jason Shrine.
Nobody at Kotaku has ever claimed or will claim to be objective.
Objectivity is a silly thing to strive for.
Fuck it.
Why not?
Why not?
fuck fuck it just is game dead by Kay Thor Jensen I'm sure you've seen some other good tweets by him before as well.
Calling for genocide, if I recall correctly.
Can we come up with a term for a single-player interactive experience that moves beyond games?
Will we start using games to refer to MOBAs?
I don't actually know what that is.
And fighting games and other directly competitive experiences.
Moving it back to its traditional definition.
I would fucking love.
We have literally been saying for ages, Kaythor Jensen, you pretentious twat, that Gone Home and Depression Quest are not fucking games.
We have been telling you they're not fucking games.
Why won't you fuck off and have your little art house industry?
Why won't you do it?
All of Gamergate was obviously sock puppets.
Literally who?
Literally who?
So I asked the Quinspiracy, have you considered not calling people who disagree with you trolls?
To which Zoe Quinn or Chelsea Van Valkenberg said, shitting on people is your only skill and you're not even good at that.
Well, I beg to differ, Zoe.
I have actually programmed a game and I'm fucking good at shitting on people.
Like Jordi Tate, where he subscribes to Feminist Frequency, Felicia Day, Kate Gary, I don't know who that is, and Carmen Fierce.
I mean, it's not like Feminist Frequency has ever said, we'll be discussing sexual objectification, hypersexualization, and the male gaze.
And they are some nice titties, Carmen.

A feminist neo-Marxist approach.
Is there anyone left who wants to tell me that this isn't Marxism?
I mean, seriously, just comment on this video, and I want to literally laugh at you.
Because I'm sorry, I know, I'm sure that they have warped Marx's teachings or whatever.
But the thing is, that is what literally everyone who has done anything with Marxist teachings has said.
Oh no, those previous people, they've done it wrong.
We're doing it right.
Oh, no, those previous people, they've done it wrong.
We're doing it right.
Look, I get the feeling.
It's the sort of thing that can't be done right.
