Announcing to the world that it is no longer allowed to use a nondescript inoffensive word because Team Zoe Quinn says so will go over great

Sadly I guess a bunch of people who doesn't know what the gently caress is going on and doesn't visit tumblr will eat it up.
And "Gamer culture" is retarded anyway, even if you force change the word gamer it won't matter a bit. "Gamer" and "Nerd" culture is for tards. BASINGA!!!

Nobody's going to "eat it up" besides tumblrs and echo chamber indie/journalist circles. Everyone else is going to just think "That's loving stupid, I thought I called myself a gamer because I play a poo poo ton of games".

This thread just became Thread+.

If they make this an actual push it will be so beautiful.

Is it "Gamer Plus," or is it "Gamer Positive" As an attempt to keep things positive?

If there is actual holding hands... I really hope there is holding hands and a chant.

It's akin to HIV+ because it refers specifically to the people that Zoe Quinn infected

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

So, the response to their audience abandoning them in droves is to just create a new audience? I mean, I get it, it's a terrible word claimed by terrible people, but the answer to that problem isn't to create a new label, it's to abandon labels. But that can't solve their audience problem because their entire source of income knows only demographics and sectioning, and alienates the awful lumpmen who are their core audience even if they wish they weren't.

I am incredibly stupid
this thing is hilarious because its irrelevant that young white men are no longer the biggest audience for video games while theyre still the primary audience of these gaming journalism sites. kotaku can declare "gamer culture" to be dead because the most popular game is candy crush or whatever but thats not going to start making middle-aged women read their site.
