CW: (Racism, sexism, antisemitism, transphobia) Gamergate 2.0 gets more deranged

black people worship
me, sitting down at the Black People Altar i was forced to install in my home due to woke and doing ten "white people ain't shit"s every morning and evening so They don't take away my dick
- I, a black person, attending church on sunday and standing behind the pastor while he speaks my praises to a congregation forced to worship me under armed surveillance

The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails in sales
[Horizon Zero Dawn] won numerous awards and sold over 24.3 million units by April 2023, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games
Horizon Forbidden West received generally positive reviews from critics, and had sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023
lolwut
Also, the Israel flag and ”Jewish citizen” are extremely :sus: in this context.
Convervatism is the new punk rock, that's why we're complaining that new media promotes hedonism and Satanism just like Bible thumpers did in the 80s and 90s!
- Also, the Israel flag and ”Jewish citizen” are extremely in this context.
  Antisemites gotta antisemite...
- The difference is 80’s and 90’s conservatives complained about any sexy images as being pornographic smut. The gamegate types only have an issue with hedonism when it’s someone else’s pleasure. Their pleasure, then they better get big booba waifu 24/7 or else it means they’re being oppressed.
- Well you see those sales weren't real but were just fake sales done by the private corporation BlackRock whose investors are for some reason cool with this
  
  whose investors are for some reason cool with this
  Reactionaries explaining that corporations don't actually follow the profit motive, but are instead loss-leading to push an ideology.

It's cool that sexism gives me CPTSD to the point where it hurts to even read this bullshit. And then I feel angry with myself for "letting it get to me"
I fucking hate these nerds, capital G gamers. All they do is take energy away from real issues and ruin gaming by turning it into edgelord shit.
No, you losers, games would not be better if they were all waifu porn.
- I call them "Hard R Gamers"
  I think it bites more and the innuendo makes more sense to people less familiar with their shitty little culture
  
  "sound weird, like gamer with a hard-r" -- donald glover
- Thing is these types of people are losing, gaming has opened up into so many different niches and different types of communities. You have more small time indie devs via ich.io making games that are either very artistic in expression or done with the goal of showing the perspectives of different groups, Pagan Autogeny for one (pretty much a game metaphor for transitioning).
  You even have wholesome games, which 'Gamers' despise, with he focus of unwinding and relaxing as well as even the major gaming industry realizing including more people into games means more money (yes trite capitalist shit) but hey it gets the ball rolling with having more than just angry depressed buzzcut white man as the protag (mid 2010s action protags anyone?).

At least they’re anti fossil fuel 🥴
Also, this probably needs a CW
- Ecofascism is something we should be incredibly wary of. Just as the Nazis used genuine worries and social issues to present an "alternative socialism" so too will 21st century fascists use the most pressing issues of today to trick people into supporting their toxic ideas.
  
  Iirc it was basically half of the BNPs whole platform along with "ban Islam"
- it's what stands out the most to me, anti fossil fuel but only because "woke games are pro oil"
  
  "woke games are pro oil"
  I mean.. what with all the sodomy and all, lube is practically priceless...

she proceeds to add the company's contractor to blackrock's client portfolio
Literally what the fuck does this even mean. it's just a bunch of business-related words strung together in a way that makes no sense whatsoever.
- This whole thing reads like it's written by an AI trained on the conspiracy
- you can really tell they're struggling to understand what exactly a consultant is
  
  Even consultants struggle with that

This is even dumber than the five guys burgers and fries shit that kicked off the OG gamergate.
- I’ve never heard that part of OG gamergate. What’s that?
  
  This KYM article goes into what the gamers were shrieking about.
  If you have time to waste, you can also watch this long ass archived video by Internet Aristocrat (later known as Mr. Metokur) fanning some of the early flames.
  
  Some guy said his ex, an extremely small-time indie dev, slept with five people at games journalism sites in exchange for positive reviews. IIRC he posted it on 4chan, which is the most normal social media to do this on.
  This was used as proof that the wamen were destroying vibeo game.

The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails* in sales
Please ignore the most popular games released in 2024
Social: Support and Promote Sodomy
Anti-Blowiob Akton!

Alloy is an objectively attractive character, i dont even understand this.
- Coombrained gamergaters are so porn addicted that their perception of what attractive human beings look like is warped to the point that if they aren't literal hentai characters they can't feel anything.
- Literally face modelled off a Dutch Model

I still refuse to believe this has any legs. Wake me up when grifters like Quartering make videos about it.
- he's already made multiple
  
  Thanks for braving that cesspool to show this. Okay I am more believing now that this is a thing.
  Still not gonna be anywhere near as big as OG Gamer Gate, because this one relies on people already having bought into anti woke propaganda. They don't have an in with normal people.
  
  Wtf is wrong with this guy lol

Ooooh love the casual racism and antisemitism thrown in

For a supposed proponents of free market, they are sure getting angry over nothing.

vtuber gets a boyfriend
gamers screech

Fellas, I can't believe girls in these woke games have hair on their skin, that's so gross and makes them basically men.
Sincerely,
Mr. Has Definitely Seen a Woman Up Close Before
- I was playing one of these modern woke video games the other day and I was absolutely outraged and disgusted, it had female characters with pores in their skin. Everyone knows women are made of plastic!

Last time I checked The Last of Us was so successful they notnonly remastered the 1st but put out a woke AF pro communist award winning HBO series.
The Last of Us franchise has sold 37 million copies in 9 years
HBO's The Last of Us wins eight Emmys, including outstanding guest actor for Nick Offerman's Bill - Strawberry fields, forever.

I will buy multiple copies of every game that promotes hatred of white people
- Give me a list and I'll buy them all twice

I can't believe these chuds still parrot this "Go woke, go broke" shit when it so verifiably isn't true. Apex Legends, Overwatch, League of Legends have all the minorities you could ever want in their games and they're still at the top of their genres. Apex has a trans woman voiced by an actual trans VA, to the point that they might actually be sincere about it and not just ticking off boxes. Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate let you be gay and
, they let you be a girl with a penis and everything too. They didn't go broke, did they?
It's so bizarre how they can ignore all this but then point to a single financial failure that has diversity and go "See, told ya! Go woke, go broke!"
- Cherry picking is a time honored chud tradition
  They're showing Last of Us 2 and Horizon Forbidden West in the category of "Woke -> Broke" which is just fucking hilarious, both of those sold like hot cakes.
  
  Reality has never been a significant obstacle for chud narratives
  
  they also always use some awkward horrible shot of aloy, like, in-the-middle-of-an-action-cutscene about-to-be-lunged-at-by-massive-fucking-robot-rhino. any character will look ugly if you pick the angle and timing very carefully out of context.
  
  here are more general/accurate pictures. this is what these morons are whining about. horizon is great btw, solid 8/10, have had 3 playthroughs so far and plan on doing another one
  she's shooting robot dinosaurs and saving half the planet in a post apocalyptic world, what do you expect, makeup?

Fuck it, I can't program for shit or do art but I'm totally making a hit indie game called "Kill All Gamers" and the gamers are all white

i don't think they've seen a woman in several decades

Oh ffs at least leave the Japanese emojis that the artist lets people use for free out of your stupid hate filled bullshit.

Jewish Citizen
Dude needs to get a better fitting mask if he wants to pull this bullshit off.
- Hey Jewish boy, go back to Jewania!
  
  how long do you have to have your blue card before you can apply for citizenship?
  
  jermany

I just starting seeing this shit on Youtube and have no idea wtf it's about, any good tldr on what this fever brained mirage is?
- There's a company, Sweet Baby Inc, that's a kind of narrative/design consulting firm for video games studios. Most of their consultancy is about better representing themes about race, women, queer people, that kind of stuff. They've apparently worked on some high profile stuff, like the Horizons games and Alan Wake 2.
  Gamer nerds think this company is basically the Illuminati and is part of a global plot to make everyone gay or lower birthrates or something reactionary like that
  
  Jesus, legit Gamers scared about the boogeymen Illuminati putting in POC in their video games
- In a sequel to the game they gave the female lead a wider face with a strong jaw for a woman. The little freaks are so sexist that this was not ok.
  
  This is all about Aloy from the Horizons sequel? Gamers are legit just younger boomers with early onset lead poisoning

Wait wtf they're saying "ESG" policies are pro fossil fuel?
- there's an inverted pyramid of conservative intelligence. at the base top you've got your think tank fellows and your corporate lobbyists, people who can technically string a sentence together. as you head deeper, you meet the libertarians, the small business owners, the militia larpers, the Qanon and facebook boomers, and finally, at the very nadir are the geek fascists. these people would throw up if they had to read a book. their beliefs are incomprehensible and inconsistent because their only guiding principle is that of a howling infant demanding milky and blanky, and to that end they've adopted the most diseased talking points and catchphrases of everyone else in the pyramid.
  
  Eloquently put. Did a site tagline just drop?
  
  Sure, but almost everybody else in the pyramid thinks that driving an EV transforms you into literally Pete Buttigieg, which is hardly surprising given that these people operate in a media bubble largely bankrolled by oil billionaire families. My only explanation for this so far is that the particular geek fascists behind this are raging Musk fanboi techbros.
- Dinosaurs were problematic, therefore it's punching up to use their liquified remains as fuel.

White people, heterosexuals, and cute women are akshually problematic to western governments/the zeitgeist
I wonder how someone can come to such funny little conclusions

enmasculate

Why bideo games don't make pp hard?????

Critical support for the fbi and the forces of capitalism to crack down on g*mergate 2rs to keep Black Trans Indigenous Women Of Color in all video games in order to appease Satan or something.

Chud culture is so exhausting.

This is interesting because that concept art was never actually used in the first game, the characters face barely changes from the first game to the second but if you compare it to that art it’s a big change.
Also that concept art appears to show a 12 year old tops.
