    Gamergate was a psyop to make the suburban soccer moms become the standing authority on what constitutes a “good” game. I see no evidence against this.

    It’s all part of the WASP obsession with the entire world being a boring, sexless mess.

      It’s all part of the WASP obsession with the entire world being a boring, sexless mess.

      It’s even more contradictory than that: Burgerland is both sex-averse and sex-obsessed, so there’s this paradoxical clash of Puritan ideology and coarse hedonism with a hearty helping of misogyny and fetishizing otherfied and “lesser” people.

      Sex is supposed to be forbidden, sensuality repressed, and so what percolates out is basically the fucked up shit in the average fundie community.

      It’s that way with freeze-gamergaters: they want constant bland vanilla horny portrayals of Lara Croft but get really mad if Lara Croft is a lesbian with an active partner, for example.
