I just can’t believe we’re still in this ‘gamer-gate’ era of bullshit because of these sad pathetic boys with their chauvanistic, racist ideals that ANGERY because they aren’t 100% being catered to. And their usage of the term ‘woke’ is just as pathetic.

I know, right? I like an attractive character as much as the next dude, but JFC that shit is embarrassing. Read more

Aren’t these reactionary nerds tired of this? Isn’t this life exhausting? This can’t be fun, can it? Just a constant state of anxiety and paranoia in a hobby that’s supposed to be relaxing.
