    After years of observation I have determined Activision is a propaganda machine designed to keep republican kids hooked on guns and war and keep them aggressive.

    Just look at the streamers who play and the fan base and the results when it comes to politics.

    It’s literally a club of wannabes who emulate their favorite streamers.

    It’s just a bunch of kids without dads.

      Eh depends. When covid hit, my friends convinced me to play warzone, and i haven’t touched any call of duty game since modern warfare 2. I watched random streamers, because i had no idea what i was doing and what was going on. Streamers from the uk were like: i’m here with my friends playing some warzone and get some cheeky snipes. And american stremers were like: TODAY ME AND THE COOL SQUAD IS RAPING SOME KIDS WHO SUCK AT WARZONE… While calling everyone a cheater and stream sniper. I know this is very generalizing and unfair, but it’s badically the same with gordon ramsey, the joke is that he’s mean and loud, and he is, on american tv.

        Off topic probably but I binged kitchen nightmares us and UK as well as hell on wheels last month and Gordon Ramsay isn’t mean, he actually tries to help those places but more often than not the owners and the rest of the staff just couldn’t give a fuck. When you’ve dangerous food safety practices that put people at risk, you don’t deserve to be treated with kid gloves.

          The Amy’s Baking Company episode is still probably the best thing he’s ever done. It’s a rollercoaster from start to finish, and it shows each aspect of Gordon and why he does what he does.

            The fact that it is the only episode where he actually walked out is evidence that he was genuinely trying to help. People who think he’s mean should watch his food magazine shows like the f word or MasterChef. He wants to see people succeed but he won’t tolerate bullshit.

      I’d like to interject for a moment. When you say Activision what you really mean is Activision/Blizzard or as I’ve taken to calling it Activision + Blizzard which is just a small publishing division of the larger Microsoft Games Studios ecosystem
