      No they’re just avoiding those problems and focusing all of their frustrations on an external force so they can pretend they’re not to blame for them

    NGL, it feels good sometimes to reverse-engineer gamergate tactics

    “Did you hear that [vidya fans]? They just called ALL OF US SJWs!”

    Has it ever occurred to them that maybe they just don’t like video games?

    I am this 🤏 close to being convinced that alpha fails are projecting when they whine about “tourists” or how “people asking for demanding representation WOke sHit be in the game aren’t rEal fANs of the series (and are just there to spread agenda)”.

      Geobbels said to always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.

      I feel like a dork saying this, but I’ve sometimes accused these modern day gamergaters of wanting to “gentrify” gaming. If this was the 2000s, they’d be the ones on 4kidz making edits to ‘Americanize’ anime.

    My friend keeps posting shit about the latest Assassin’s Creed and how bad it’s doing, etc. etc. I mostly just ignore it but he sent like 20 messages today that’s very clearly taken from a YouTube video talking about their investors and stuff. Which isn’t as bad as the other stuff that’s a little more specifically culture war-y. I don’t know how to tell him I don’t give a fuck about Ubisoft enough to hate them this much, especially when it’s clearly just fascist game-tourists being especially outraged over this game than any other Creed game. He’s fine otherwise but he definitely got sucked into it this time, for whatever reason. I guess he’s mad they’re not gunna’ make any more Ghost Recons, which I could slightly understand. But I don’t give a fuck about modern gaming so whatever, I’ll play the other 3000 games I want to play.

    2025 is looking to be another peak gaming year. I’m so hyped about Ghost of Yotei. Really enjoyed my lethal playthrough of Tsushima and hope Yotei can exceed it.
