I don't want to get banned for inciting violence or anything but we should have killed all the gamergate people back in 2014 when we had the chance.

This falls well within the Hexbear Code of Conduct lol

before gamergate i was like "yeah re-education camps and shit? seems authoritarian and unnecessary"

after gamergate im all "so gulags it is"

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Gamer gulag is the humanitarian alternative to the cuck pit.

It’d be sooo easy for them to criticize Sweet Baby as a cheap veneer companies pay for to create the impression of progressiveness. But no, they can’t help but concoct delusional conspiracy theories that Sweet Baby is some woke mafia being all “Lovely game company you’ve got there. Be a shame if, the blue-haired removed were to cancel you on Twitter. But ahh, just pay us a, consulting fee, we’ll make sure that’s not a problem.”

They're mad at the diversity, not the capitialism.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

But that would still be railing against diversity, the whole “complaining about virtue signaling” tactic. They don’t just want to complain about diversity, they have to craft a narrative in which freeze-gamer is the most oppressed minority in the world.

Chuds can't (or won't) understand that rainbow capitalism is still capitalism

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah, they think Rainbow capitalism (and imperialism) is communism.

I feel like a boomer because I don't know what any of this means. I'm gonna crawl back into my cave now and sleep.

enjoy your peace, beloved

I don’t know what Sweet Baby Inc is and I don’t even care. I’ve seen those gapped mouth thumbnails from right wing channels where it looks like they’re praising SBI for combatting wokeness but apparently it IS woke? Ok

It really is the stupidest form of the Streisand effect

I really really hope this dude isnt surprised his audience is full of chud and shit heads

his audience is full of world of warcraft players that think getting rid of the problematic shit put in the game by abusive men is 1984 and puritanical woke leftists striking once again

He also had a terrible take about the Disco Elysium clusterfuck, so I find this to be pretty funny.

Why are Gamers so mad at the company behind Zuckerberg’s favorite bbq sauce?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah Gamergate, or in other words, the inventors of cancel culture.

[–] TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That would be Christians. I grew up with the boycotts from Concerned Women for America and Focus on the Family.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

So....also gamergate?

The video in question, the comments are exactly what you would expect.
