Again: You people in gaming culture are a bunch of mentally retarded, socially dysfunctional corporate shills who can't function in the real world or hold real jobs. It's up to us to insert a culture where you have none because, when I look at you, all I see is mouth-breathing morons with Pikachu backpacks waiting to buy the next game if you don't choke to death on your own drool first.
Yeah, real inclusive and uplifting stuff.
I thought it was, actually, unless you happen to be part of the vocal minority that's not representative of most people that plays video games.
Believe it or not, I'm a gamer. I'll be 33 next year and I had a Nintendo at 5 & built my first PC at 16. Not one of the stereotypical "gamer" terms used in that particular article to describe gamers or gamer culture bothered me at all. Some of them even apply to me. Sure, it was a bit mean but given that its a response to gamergate that isn't exactly surprising.
The problem is, I don't want to be considered a gamer anymore. Not because I don't play video games (Currently loving Alien Isolation & counting the days until Civ: Beyond Earth) but because the trolls like the as
shole that started gamergate have made it a derogatory term.
A term I'm ashamed to be associated with because of a very vocal minority that can't take a joke, criticism, or foams at the mouth when a feminist points out the obvious about the copious amounts of cleavage in many games.
Honestly, given the current environment on the internet I'm surprised the person that wrote
this article about Boob Armor killing or injuring the wearer hasn't gotten a death threat yet. Its Gawker media related AND ruins fanboys fantasies all over the internet at the same time.
Come on Poldaran, you should try and get that ******* lawyer from California to beat the author up for an anti-bullying charity. THAT'LL TEACH THEM!
