"You're cute when you call me a redacted"

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

now all the other gamers will know what slurs to call me! neat!

Bit idea: old school Gamer that's angry about all the new slurs they have to learn yearns for the days when everyone was an N-slur, F-slur, or R-slur

bit idea: gamer who got convinced "boykisser" is a slur

When I used to get called f****t in Halo I would flip it on them and thank them for noticing and regale them with tales of gayness. So many people just shut up after a few minutes of that.

We should make "slurs in bio" a thing so all the people screaming at pronouns will start hating slurs.

Exactly what I was thinking. Like, you think I'm going to just id myself as a target for 14 year old boys who foam at the mouth to get a chance to scream slurs at people.

The glitter/texture on those skins seems like they'd look pretty dope, I wish they were in a better, non-MIC-aligned game

more gay war crimes

Partner and I put a bunch of pride themed stuff on the cars in Rocket League a while back and just easily increased the number of slurs heard like 500%

i've played A LOT of cod zombies and imo the narrative in that specific gamemode is far better than the blind military worship of the campaign and MP. especially in the newer games since the Nazi party member is long dead and so are the "OG squad" who accepted and even liked him after their Marvel-ass time travel adventures.

point is, zombies is generally pretty good, but if they bring back the nazi then PIGPOOPBALLS

Eh, this year after a spate of "groomer" panic that has scared even Target into reducing pride merch and caused a resurgence of homophobia among young men, we can suspend our ironic critique and take what performative solidarity we can get. I think as metropolitan lefties we love defaulting to "it's not far enough" without ever stopping to at least say "it's some effort however cynical."

The critique is not ironic, it is sincere; and I’ll be damned if I take what performative solidarity I can get
