Hey can I get money on Patreon for never producing anything of value too? I realize the answer is probably no because I'm male but it never hurts to ask tia.

these feminists SJWs, making $2000 a month, ruining gaming. I can't even imagine having that much money at once. Here I sit, locked out of the crystal palace, mourning my place as a lowly gamer. Male, the worst thing you can be.

It has been 15 years since I have seen a boob on the computer. Our time runs short. I pray for salvation, except that praying is dumb, because reddit has assured me that there is no such thing as God.

Has this piece of poo poo article been linked yet:

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/09/why-we-didnt-want-to-talk-about-gamergate.html

quote:

That’s who is behind this entire situation: anti-woman trolls who intentionally distort the meaning of the word “ethics” to further their own agenda and mislead their followers. There are some beating the #GamerGate drum who sincerely believe that it’s not related to misogyny or the persistent attacks on Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn, that it’s simply about keeping the games press accountable. It’s impossible to extricate that hashtag from its roots, though, which grew out of unconscionable smears and threats against two prominent women in gaming merely because they are prominent women in gaming. All the conspiracies and trumped-up claims of “evidence” of collusion among developers, press agents and the press spread by the #GamerGate founders are lies and distortions aimed at driving Quinn, Sarkeesian and other women out of videogames.

This kind of reminds me of the Mass Effect 3 ending drama, where video game journalists leaped to the defense of the developers while everyone took a giant steaming poo poo on Bioware's head with criticism. Only but a handful actually tried to understand what their audience was complaining about.

Now we have the audience giving criticism to the video game journalists who are rushing to poo poo on their audience and actively trying to not understand what they're actually complaining about. Yet again only but a handful actually try to understand where their audience is coming from. It's a weird phenomena. Groupthink maybe?

Really this drat thing has gotten to a point where nobody really knows what is the 'bad' thing is anymore or why it's bad and are just trying to yell the loudest to get whatever point they have across while acting like something new is happening. This poo poo has always been a cesspool of terrible people.

Its just now they have a lot of eyes on them so they can feel important while yelling stuff.

I don't think it's a killfile, or a fidonet area moderator. For what I understood it should be something like facebook's algorithm: it will prefer showing you posts from people you liked with content that you liked and to push aside people you did not act upon before. It's poo poo because it makes an echo chamber of your own interests, or even worse, your tantrums.

I have no freaking idea what that person is talking about or who the person they're talking about is but it's actually super freaking important to me if they have a weiner and balls, and if they were born with them, or if they were constructed surgically, or if they're of manmade material in some sort of convoluted leather harness
