I think I'm starting to understand the gamergate dudes. They had, in videogames the ultimate trad setup. Women were on display, available for use, and existed for their approval. Much like a powerful man from a bygone era would have enjoyed in real life.
That's what "they took from us". A pathetic virtual chauvinistic paradise. It was sadder than I thought.
Except this hasn’t been taken from them at all. There is no shortage of games that still offer this “experience”. Probably more than ever.
What makes it even sadder is that these idiots are unable to see past the handful of ultra-hyped games currently being pumped by the “AAA” industry. They’re just sheep, going where they’re told, and then bleating because they don’t like the grass in this new paddock.
They think they're the gatekeepers and the tastemakers. They think a multi-billion dollar industry exsts for them and because of them, and they feel that anything that isn't made specifically for them is a direct insult.
They don't care that there's a million games catering to them out there. What matters is that there's one that doesn't.
Gamergate people always say this but I've never seen their actual complaints about games journalism. I did see them getting pissy about people like Anita Sarkeesian discussing feminism in games, though.
Its so weird that these people have to figure out if they will fuck something in 5 seconds and if not those people shouldnt be alive. Fucking gross. You need to get help.
