He also got pissed when they made tracer a lesbian because she encourages male gaze and should be only attractive to lesbians or some poo poo. Everyone called him out and he got passive aggressive about other progressive not being on his level.

What a colossal douche, yes lets cry that Blizzard saw fit to make their postergirl, the big character plastered over practically every bit of media for the game, a lesbian. Also I don't know where he could've gotten that she's not attractive to lesbians? I mean poo poo man, OW is probably one of the biggest games where I've seen lady friends get hot over characters all the time.

also i am not sure how you can make things "uncomfortable" for straight dudes. people have different likes and dislikes when it comes to bodies/personalities/kinks/fetishes/etc. i think its speaks more to his issues rather then anyone else. personally i was more disturbed because i thought she couldnt take off her armor thing because she would die with out it. i guess not.

First rule of SJW, no matter how you bend over backwards to appease them or do what you think will satisfy them, there will always be something wrong.

If Blizzard made the butch looking Russian one a lesbian, Mcintosh would be crying how stereotypical Blizzard made the uggo one it.
If Blizzard made Mei, again, why is it the shy one.
If Blizzard made Widowmaker, too sexy and evil.
If Blizzard made Symettra, omg they made the autist a lesbian, linking it to mental illness.

There is no end, so best to just laugh and ignore them.

kinda yeah. id say if anyone fits that pejorative, its Mcintosh. i just dont why some people act like he is a good critic and should be listened too. there are a ton of great socially/ficaly left critics, and most of them dont like him.

him trying to be a smug critic is dumb and people who think he is smart and good are dumb too.

he is isnt "critical of things he loves" or whatever the old femfreq buzzword was(and they were smart enough to sack/remove him) he doesnt like anything outside pretentious poo poo or rebbeca sugar.

true, but nothing did. everyone was reasonably skeptical of doom, even me, it ended up being amazing. ill be controversial but if i had to pick a M rated video game for my younger cousin, doom 2016 would probaly be it. because outside the copious gore/violence, there isnt a really problematic content. no swearing or sex(explosive or otherwise and none of the daemons have tits and dicks or hr giger stuff) its just you fighting giant monsters and making them good boom. plus its good game with a good learning curve. i am not saying unmonitered obviously but idk.

His reaction to the Doom trailer is the most eyerolling poo poo imaginable. I hate the dude because he's basically the living representation of all the SJW strawmen that angry gamers always whine about. Like, the idea that he was in this horrified shock at the nightmarish idea that some dudes were laughing and cheering at over the top gore was hilarious.

I could understand if we're talking about some realistic COD poo poo because there's a whole Pandora's box of issues regarding racism there but Doom is basically a grindhouse movie where only demons get killed.

The term SJW has basically been poisoned and I immediatly disregard most people when they use it in earnest, but then you see poo poo like that and it makes me wanna groan because, yup, people like that exist and it's really loving annoying.

pretty much. he goes way over the top with poo poo like that because he is basically a moral majority rear end in a top hat but on the left. i think the biggest issue is how black and white he is with that stuff. violent games can be genuinly engaging and tell a good story and have good messages. its not always perfect but they try. i had a amazing proffsor in lit who talked about how anything even poo poo like doom can be art because specticle isnt a bad thing per say but people can always get a deeper meaning from anything. john doesnt see that. he gets pissed because they have the joke difficulty setting where BJ has a binki. he is Snob and not even a clever or good one. but yeah the term is overused and poisoned but when it fits, it fits.

personally(as some who has played all the cod campaigns, they are guilty pleasure) i think the "its racists and all you do is shoot muslims and poo poo" is kinda of a over reaction. not to say their isnt some truth to it. most cods you just shoot russians(ultra nationalist types/or facists(space facists, private libertarian armies and regular nazis. the only really bad one is black ops 2 because ollie "the traitor" north was sorta involved and that was all kinds of loving dumb even for cod. the arab thing mostly comes from modern warfare one and its all baathist assad/sadanm types, not jihadists. also infinite warfare the newest one is honest one of the best single player campaigns i have played, because its depressing as gently caress and you are basically fighting Terran Federation from the starship trooper movies.

Funnily enough, it was even more cynical than that. He renounced it cause the MPLA was ML, and he wanted to position himself as an anti-communist in opposition to them. The aid came after that.
