But almost all basic controllers are already designed with children in mind since that's a big target audience on consoles, and that just looks like a styled PS one

so the gender of a controller is based on size then

does this mean that joycons are girl controllers and need to be referred to with feminine pronouns

yeah that’s really dumb bc controllers are designed for children to use them and women aren’t gunna have smaller hands than children. maybe the original Xbox was a little big and uncomfortable to use; I don’t recall

someone said it elsewhere but it’s standard idpol hashtag woke washing to hide their turbo failed product and if you aren’t supporting it then ergo ur a misogynistic chud. plz buy our bad product

The original Xbox controller was comically huge and subject to endless jokes as a result, and of course there's a handful of people who actually loved it. Which isn't surprising, people have different bodies and all.

there's a ton of places online where it's not ok to say bad poo poo about brands or companies, corporate hug boxes where fans circle jerk over their products

is there a more specific term for this besides 'bootlicker'?
historically a good term for this is "consumer whore," but whether you'll want to use it depends on the kind of crowd you're in

i blame Denny's and the Los Angeles Kings for the current trend of brands on twitter

eh i might have forgotten but i dont recall having any issue with nes/snes/genesis/n64/psx/ps2/dreamcast/gcn controller. i guess by the time xbox came out in 2002 and i got one i would have been about 14 so not really a child, i remember it being a little big and uncomfortable yeah.

I mean I'm not calling the thread out because the wording and poo poo is obviously prime material but people were curious as to what "gender neutral" could mean :shrug:

it's worth noting that van riper did in fact straight up cheat, in addition to just not following the script. he proclaimed himself to have lightspeed bike messengers and the initial missile barrage featured ships firing missiles bigger than they were. he did not set out to prove Iran could kick our rear end, he set out to prove that Rumsfeldian wargaming was loving dumb because it didn't even try to account for the idea the enemy might try some weird poo poo.

Well, considering you can shut down billion dollar military equipment with cheap hacks or lasers ordered off the internet, I don't think he was too far off the mark with the core argument.
