"I only want to trust your game reviews again, please stop accepting bribes from corporate publishers and sexual favors from activist bloggers for higher scores on shovelware." "MISOGYNY! CALL THE UNITED NATIONS TO END THE PLAGUE OF ANTI-WOMAN INCELS." "Microtransations are predatory business practices that prey on literal children and gambling addicts, you're eroding trust from potential customers by making us pay for what we already paid for." "RACISM! YOU DRIVE A PICKUP TRUCK DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT." "Why are you catering so much to 'the modern audience' and political activists who hate you and your fanbase instead of us who would actually interested in your product if it were made for us instead of them?" "WEW LADS, WE GOT OURSELVES A NAZI HERE! THE AGE OF MEN IS OVER." "I ordered Mtn Dew, not a bottle of piss." "DAMN THESE TOXIC FANS! ALL GAMERS ARE WHINY ENTITLED MILLENNIAL MAN-CHILDREN. #KillAllMen #ThisMachineKillsFascists #PunchNazis #BelieveAllWomen" "Why is my $2000 graphics card barely able to run any game from last year? Why is everything so bloated and kludgy and slow anymore? How is everything needing higher and higher specs, yet look and sound the same or even worse? Why are levels becoming less imaginative, stories becoming more cliche and stupid, characters having dumber and lamer personalities and indeed often are cookie-cutter caricatures and mary-sues? I could run Morrowind on 512mb RAM, but 24gb isn't even enough for Minecraft which is over 15 years old. And why must I always be online and make an account just to play the single-player game I bought? What's with all the telemetry spyware? What's with all the chat reporting, shoving political activism and telling me I'm bad and evil for being born a white male in every nook and cranny, the censorship, the propaganda from billionaires? How the hell is any of this worth $90 for a much worse product than I bought for $60 ten years ago, itself much worse than what I could have for $30 twenty-five ago?" "HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT VIBE-CODING DEI AMATEUR HIRES WE HEAR YOUR DOGWHISTLE FAR-RIGHT FASCISTS! WE'RE GONNA BEAT YOU UP IF YOU DARE TELL US 'If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing' AGAIN!!" "...the entire gaming industry and gaming news bloggers are crystal clear that they hate their own customer base, and have been for nearly 20 years now. If General Motors sold cars without doors and seats and then made fun of potential buyers they'd go out of business, and yet so many gamers are content with crap instead of demanding quality as is our right as customers (and the customer is always right), the vast majority seemingly afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome and Battered-Spouse Disorder apparently. And we are severely punished every single time we point out the empress having no clothes. So... fine, whatever. I give up. I turn my back on modern gaming as you have turned your back on me and mine. I will stick to retro games from bygone eras when developers and publishers had passion for their art-craft and cared for their fans, maybe a few recent indie games from tiny devs who still care about making good games." "WHY IS NO ONE BUYING GAMES ANYMORE, WHY ARE YOU ALL SO WHINY AND ENTITLED, HAVING STANDARDS IS FOR ASSHOLE CHILD-MEN, OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL HATE WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR AND LGBTQP+, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT CULTURE WARS, THERE ARE NO CULTURE WARS CONSPIRACY THEORIST MISINFORMATION SPREADING ANTI-VAXXER FLAT-EARTHERS, I MEAN WE DIDN'T MIND DECLARING CULTURE WAR ON STRAIGHT WHITE MALE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS BUT WE'RE BIG MAD ABOUT YOU NOT JUST SHUTTING UP AND TAKING IT LIKE YOU DID FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, DARK WOKE IS HERE TO STAY MAGAT TRUMPTARDS, OH GOD WE'RE SO LONELY, WE'RE LOSING OUR JOBS, YOU NEED TO SHUT UP AND JUST TRUST THE EXPERTS I MEAN OUR REVIEWS AGAIN, OBEY YOU STUPID CHUD SHITLORD TOXIC FANDUMB WHINY ENTITLED MAN-CHILDREN, GET BACK HERE AND OPEN YOUR WALLET NOW" "lol. lmao."
Reminder that the United Nations invited the catalyst of #GamerGate, Zoe Quinn, to give a lecture to hundreds of political world leaders about the rising threat of... male gamers. Male gamers are clearly such a huge political worldwide threat that the United Nations chose to invite and listen to some nobody (who's only life accomplishments have been posting activism to her personal microscopic blog, developing crappy video games, and having sex with reviewers in exchange for her crappy game recieving good scores) and convinced by said nobody stepped in and are still involved in putting a stop to us. This actually happened. It is still happening right now. Welcome to clown world.
