Thinking of it, I was pretty insulated from the whole ordeal at first, because I was never much into social media so only heard about it from the original /v/ threads and stuff before mods banned it

gamergate resulted in me and a majority of 4channer beginning to question the media

because young me assumed that the media is always right

When you've been called a racist your whole life just because of where you grew up, you get pretty inured to this stuff.

GG achieved its goal of instituting ethics policies at game journo sites but certainly did not achieve the secondary goal of changing the minds of those within the industry away from the ideas they bandwagoned on to.

they doubled down over the next years

hard

It doesn't help that basically every major US game developer is in either Seattle or somewhere in California

I think Bethesda and Ubisoft is on the East Coast.

Depends on the studios themselves. Publishers own developers but they are separate entities.

its hard to setup a studio in middle america, very limited labor pool

Much of the talent is relocated anyway.

It is true though--plus it is hard to convince people to move to a place where there aren't other jobs to take when you're laid off after every project.

But yeah, point was you have a bunch of weak beta developers who agree with whatever they're told and mostly live in Commiefornia or Lenin Statue City.

Oh right that Lenin Statue

i find it funny because the statue is privately owned

Communism is pretty rampant there, they even elected someone from the "Socialist Alternative" party to the city council

If its okay to punch nazi because we fought a war against them, it should also be okay to punch commies because we fought them for much longer

Commies were worse in any metric but they weren't as picky about what kind of people to kill, they get pass I guess ?

Commies are worst by accident

They didn't intended to kill so many peope

Thats a lie

That's the joke

Welp

Woooosh

Lol

Basically, they wanted to do good so it's okay. We can try next time.

Well when you gotta feed everyone... but you only have food for half... it is the only logical conclusion

"It wasn't real communism"

those pesky right wingers hijacked the revolution - actual take from tankies

twitter is magical place

ive actually become more solidified in my ideology than i was maybe 5 years ago. but i was apolitical all my life. which is to say im not any more arrogent (couldent be any more arrogent) but ive thought about the picture of the world a lot more in recent years and have ideas now where i once just thought having ideas ment you were wrong to begin with

Twitter blue check marks are the most honest people out there what do you mean?

Holy shit I think I found a pic of Tim without his hat on 4chan

Is it ok if I post it

He looks like elon musk

I've seen him without beanie on the stream the picture is probably from.

I'll be honest, I think it's kinda rude to post it. If you really want, you can find it. There is no point in posting it here.

Ok <:3

I think its harder to find a picture of Tim smiling
