    I think they’re saying that the OP’s OP’s OP was rage bait, i.e. the guy pretending not to know people have fine hair everywhere was just trolling.

          There were very real tantrums about this. Look at the reaction to the new God of War.

          Pretending like incels don’t whine about the “integrity of their games” and “woke bullshit” is silly.

            I know. Just saying it’s not clear in this instance. It seems almost too ridiculous to be real, but it could be.

              Even if that particular post was for some reason not real, that was a very common complaint about Aloy’s design.

                Bizarre. Even from their perspective, they should like it, because it makes her look more real.

                  These people goon to stellar blade. Velma is right though, basically any gaming sub was full of perpetual virgins bitching about ugly man Aloy. And holy shit when the dlc came out and Aloy is gay? They lost their shit.

                    Spoilers! I haven’t played Forbidden West yet. 😖

                    It’s ok, I already assumed she was gay. She wasn’t interested in any of the guys, and she had chemistry with that Oseram woman who made the grenade launcher.

      i also think it’s funny how enraged people are you suggest it’s rage bait.

      because clearly this is some huge problem, instead of stupid internet flaming bullshit.

      but ragebait works. people love being angry over stupid bullshit and projecting their angst at imaginary chuds that likely don’t really exist.

        No one is mad you’re calling it rage bait, though what you’re doing is rage baiting as well since if you were around the internet when that game released you know full well all the gamergate chuds lost their fucking minds. Fuckin dweebs are always so loud. Anyway yeah this was actual discourse for a month or two, not just assholes ragebaiting.

          My interpretation of gamergate, which I was there watching it happen live, was very very different than the popular narrative about it.

          But hey, what do I know, I only lived through it. I didn’t read about it through a bunch of idiot mainstream journalists who only focused on the ‘evil men vs innocent women’ narrative to score the post clicks.

          A lot of the ‘harassment’ that the key female figures received, never had any evidence. I also knew Zoey Quin, I went out with her on a date in 2011. She was an absolute nutcase, probably had BPD or something. Her grasp on reality was very tenuous before gamergate, so I doubt anything she said about those event was remotely truthful. And I’m sure her boyfriend there was also equally mentally ill.

            I don’t believe a single word of this comment, but especially that you went on a date with Zoey Quin.

              yeah, it was me all along. I did gamergate. the entire thing. and yeah I openly admit it to everyone, and they congratulate me on my genius. I am Zoey Quinn and her boyfriend, and all the journalists, reporters, and police sergeants invovled we’re all the same person.

                Do you also know QAnon? Are you a flat-earther? Religious young earth creationist? Ancient alien conspiracist? Jordan Peterson/Joe Rogan follower? MAGA?

                I’m trying to see how much overlap there is in my venn diagram of dumbfuckery.

                  Oh, no. I lived in Berlin studying German for a year, which makes me a Nazi who workships Hitler right?

                  Because what upstanding person would ever learn German if they weren’t a nazi? I mean, Nazis spoke German, so clearly anyone who speaks it is a Nazi too.

                  Because you know, learning a second language is only what dumbfucks do. Smart people know English is the only real language good people can ever speak.

                    Considering that gamergate was literally used to bolster the alt-right movement and get young men to support fascism, your comparison to Nazi Germany is pretty apt hahaha

                    Gamergate was literally manufactured by Steve Bannon and is part of the Epstein emails. You’re absolutely an idiot if you buy into any of it, and you’re unhinged for lying about knowing personally all the key players, very conveniently I might add. Basically you’re entirely full of shit.

                You’re Steve Bannon, too?! Wow. Really honing that gamer gate controversy to rally large swaths of men into the alt-right pipeline.
