They found a place cwa took a stand on misogyny and are using it to justify their opposition. Heaven forbid the call center union advocate for its mostly female membership

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

they're such an odd little sect. like in most ways they're just normal dummy chuds, but they are handcuffed to their conviction that they are not right wing and in fact totally apolitical and they wouldn't even be here if the crazy political people on the left hadn't forced them to be, so they have to come up with elaborate justifications that only matter to themselves for why they have certain strong political positions.

They started with an elaborate game of telephone where the convinced themselves that a woman that made a free game simulating life with depression slept with journalists to get good reviews.

Now they're deep throating corporate footwear. It's a standard reactionary pipeline. bootlicker

and the main one they cry about didn't even review the game, just mentioned it existed

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

It was a misogyny driven game of telephone. It was a stack of hateful lies all along, and they can't even admit the origins of their own movement because lying is in the foundations of fascism from the start.

Gamergate disproves Matt's theorum of things always getting stupider because nothing will ever be stupider than Gamergate.

They're acting like the union not having a web presence is a bad thing.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, let's see here "woke" "snowflakes" "blue haired californians" "bloody commies" "union workers are shit workers", man these people really are just beyond fucking parody.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we go back to being the left of the 2000s? Instead of trying to explain things to them, just constantly mock them as dumb, jingoistic sheeple?

(This time without the eugenics-y idiocracy please?)

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean yeah, gamer-gulag are such worthless scum anyway they deserve nothing but derision. Now if you can explain things to a streamer then the hogs might learn something

Hasan was on the Deprogram pod a while back and my dude is definitely hiding his power level (also his intelligence but he will always be a himbo in my heart Care-Comrade)

so-true <-gamers when Rockstar employees had to work 100+ hours straight so their gritty cowboy game could have realistic horse balls.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Speaking of Rockstar, I want to watch a GG sit down and play Bully: Scholarship Edition and break down crying every time he has to beat up a prep, or when Jimmy tells Gary to shut the fuck up.

Jimmy Hopkins is /ourguy/

It's no use arguing with capital-G freeze-gamer . They really are "fuck workers, fuck you, I want my treats" levels of selfishness.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Gamergate: Where losers can finally be the asshole jocks they always wanted to be in high school.

No really, they're still celebrating their culture war victories just like grillman reminiscing about his big touchdown when he was the coolest kid in high school, and now he's just some schlubby, balding Joe Schmoe that drives an hour to go to and from his meaningless office job that's 15 miles from his house.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Who died and made them the standing authority on games again? Hell, do they even LIKE video games?

CHUDs please go back to watching Football or idiot television or something.

[–] kkitsuragisleftnut@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

frothingfash I CAN'T ENJOY MY TREATS IF THE DEVS AREN'T SUFFERING! These malcontents have no ideology outside of hating women. If you don't really follow politics fine whatever I can some what understand being apathetic about unionization but to be actively opposed to laborers getting more agency is wild.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Sometimes I wish westerners weren't so illiterate so they could have been properly alienated by Sonic and Persona. Do they not look at Dr. Robotinik or Shido and think, "Oh God, that's ME! AND EVERYTHING I STAND FOR?!"

somehow it wouldnt surprise me if the hogs at r/Kotakuinaction would unironically say that: They want longer games with better graphics made by people who are paid less to work more and they're not kidding

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

And aren't "political"

Saw this lovely comment:

No. They should roll over and do their fucking job. Especially when we hear these localization fuckwits across the industry do a shit job. I don't know how many times I hear these morons change translations because it isn't woke enough. Or add censorship.

Sega should have trampled these people before they even let out the word "union" from their mouths.

One of the most reliable tells that someone is a chud on reddit-logo is if their profile gives you the warning for over-18 content.
