No, didn't you hear? She had guys sneak into the Democratic party offices, and place bugs!

Or maybe i'm thinking of a different -gate

There are so many games these days too. It's an absolute golden era for indie games, but the gamergate crowd only focuses on how the yearly generic military shooter might have pronoun options, or maybe there's a single gay character in an RPG with hundreds of NPCs.

I'm old enough to remember that a gamergate rallying cry was something like, "Don't change our games, make your own games." Imploring folk to make their own games with feminist narratives or whatever. Well we live in that reality now, where the "SJWs" or 10 years ago are making games, or big studios are trying to pander. And yet that was still wrong.

Those are trophies from all the straight male developers she killed

They don't feel like they've won. As long as the existence of anything outside of cis hetero crackers exist, they're mad. Anita Sarkeensian is still alive, and people know about her, so everything feels lost to them

Struggle is mitochondria of fascism. Without eternal struggle and therefore imagined eternal failure, you eventually gotta stop doing the fascism. If they utterly destroyed an enemy they'd have to keep finding new ones, if they don't have an absolute victory they take it as a defeat. It's cause they're stupid.

Mainstream video games have become more diverse and less horny in the past decade though which is what these guys are mad about

And the funny thing is, the right WON that culture war.

Look at progressivism, it's been irrelevant ever since 2014 and anyone who dares to have an opinion that isn't Hitler good is mocked by everyone under the age of 40.

paworld has sex?

It's Anita Sarkeesian, a video game journalist who became one of the centerpieces of Gamergate for saying such radical things as "sexism in video games exists and is bad".

Sarkeesian has literally 0 influence on anything, never did, but gamers have hated her with all their might for over a decade now. Her youtube podcast still gets dislike-bombed over 10 years after Gamergate.

she treated their favorite form of art (bideo games) as art, which is what they'd been whining for for years. if it's art, you can critique it as art.

they didn't like it.

They sometimes do make their own games and then people who aren't freaks review them sometimes and they mald about that too and try to threaten, harass, and censor them.

Feminists will trans your gender and free you from the shackles of being a g*mer

After that the videogame companies realized that subscription services and gambling like game desing was way more profitable.

they always realized that. before they called it a "microtransaction" they called it "insert another quarter to continue." People forget that kids in the 80s and early 90s had to play video games in public, and that you would basically spend your entire allowance trying to beat one fighting game on medium difficulty with a joystick the size of a gear shift and 5 fat buttons that were the size of your palm.

i remember realizing one day how stupid i was for playing tekken 3 at the mall and that I had spent way more in quarters on tekken 3 over the course of a year or two than I would have if I had just bought the game for PS1
