    Remember when “Gamegate” was still a protofascist reactionary movement recruiting boys to both victims of grifting and alienation, and victimizers of others?

      I was admittedly more conservative days, but even then I was always really confused about how it wasn’t a dog whistle.

      Don’t even remember the affair or whatever shit that initiated it but once I heard 'ethics in gaming journalism’s I didn’t know what the fuck anyone was talking about

      Fun Lenin fact: he actually got mummified because of the worldwide King Tut craze that was going on at the time as the result of the discovery of his tomb. Even Pravda ran frequent articles about it, and after Lenin died in 1924 the Soviets cashed in on it and mummified him - in a remarkable amateurish fashion, since nobody had been mummified in Russia for centuries prior.

    Love how people think gamers hate female main characters but those same people get mad at gamers liking characters like Lara Croft.
