ACA?

Wats that?

it's just the left that's shoving politics into everything

Obamacare

If being promiscuous was better and healthier for people and society, won't it be the norm? But it's not. Social customs are just like evolution, the ones that work stick around, the ones that don't become obscure and even frowned upon.

^ Affordable Care Act

Oh, yeah ACA. It's shit

@Sectator Pragmaticam Lex

Funny thing that. When GG was happening I stayed quiet about my personal politics because most of us were to the left of me.....

It's free, if you somehow find a way to sign up for it that actually works

when GG was happening i mostly stayed quiet because even at a glance it was evident that there was a LOT of accusations with nothing to back them up, and i'd rather not say some horribly inaccurate shit due to not knowing and look like an imbecile

if you asked me about zoe quinn at the time my position boiled down to "how is this nobody so relevant all of the sudden? this stinks of bs. not sure from where just yet, but the smell of shit is strong on this mess"

Oh I was all-in on it. Like I have my beliefs I vote some years I poll watch. That's just normal civic duty shit. I play games to relax. Coming after that with political bullshit was just over the line. ZQ was not that relevant. That was an earlier thing called 5-guys. Honestly nobody gave a shit about that. What happened was the people *defending* ZQ used identity politics as a weapon, Which still wasn't a big deal until they started censoring everyone who disagreed.

Sitch did a good overveiw of it let me find it....

also that. political censorship in videogames is just as politics shit as "drumfph is racist!"

Pretty good TL;DR.

Oh not in the games. In the forums.

oh hey i watched that particular video back when it was newer-ish

I missed GG, before I got into politics I just gamed alone and only bought the occasional game I knew I personally would like. So it didn't affect me

NGL it was a lot of fun.

@randomNPCno3 same here

Only knew of it because a SocJus friend mentioned it

I found out about Gamergate during the 2016 election

They still do. I cannot help but find that part amusing. I think it's because, up until then, they never lost a fight. Since then they just lose constantly.

It was a tipping point towards rationality

It’s a permanent reminder that they are but mere mortals, just like the rest of us

The first group diverse enough to fight back on their terms

It showed the Once SocJust gamers and Atheists that something else was being made than what they thought was

Shit, now I feel old, now. GG was like 5 minutes ago. >.>

And just another datapoint on a long series of datapoints in relation.

I mean it might have been a tipping point. Before that they could say, "normie normalson is a racist" and it would stick. And they could destroy anyone like that. But we just wouldn't shut up. And we wouldn't quit. And in the end they lost which was not something that had happened before. And now when they try that everyone just ignores them because they know it is bullshit.

And THAT is why fines should be based on how much money you have

"You have 10 million dollars in the bank? well here's a 100k dollar parking fine"

That’s impractical, I’m not against the idea of fairness

But it’s just impractical for a street fine

@Timeward

I mean it is done pythin
