Gamer Gate 2.0: Woke On Patrol

“Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis is the best video game ever.” – Billy Madison

Also like a gamer, he spent 73 years living off his mother before he got a job.

I predict this will be the most censored post I ever write, even including the one where I told Joe where he could stick his F-16s.

As I touched on in my last post, there is a process that makes people feel good – have a goal, work, and achieve.  It was important when my great, great, great grandpa Grug was hunting mammoth on the frozen steppes, and is important today.  Since there are few mammoths to hunt, lots of young men get their surrogate achievement from playing video games.

Games are important to them.

That’s why Gamer Gate was a big deal, and Gamer Gate 2.0 might turn out to be bigger.  Many of you might not be familiar with it, so I’ll give a too brief synopsis that skips over a lot of details, because you’re bright and can research more if you want to.

Zoë Quinn.  It starts with Zoë.

Literally who?

I think she was 27 going on 50 in this picture.

Zoë was a lame GloboLefty girl with stupid hair color who moved to Canada, built a crappy GloboLeft video game called Depression Quest, her lame GloboLefty ex-boyfriend wrote a long blog post.

Really?  A long blog post about your ex?  Regardless, in the post, people walked away with the idea that Zoë had slept with almost half a dozen journalists to get good reviews for her crappy game.  For this story, it’s not particularly important whether or not she did sleep with them or not.

The important thing to come out of this was that a bunch of gamers got together to complain about the corruption within the gaming journalism community.  It could have ended there because gaming journalists aren’t serious, and were gaming journalists in 2010s because they couldn’t get better jobs.

That would have ended it.  But no, the gaming journalists tried to cover it up and silence the whole thing, calling the gamers (you know, the audience that reads their crap and buys the games) sexist with dozens of articles all at once with the same theme.  The Narrative fought back, and, sadly Anita Sarkeesian got semi-famous.

Maybe someone could pay for a tattoo of fake kids over her barren womb.  Someone get that woman a wine and cat I.V.  Stat!

It kept growing, and growing, and growing.  Oddly, that was the time The Fappening (leaking of all of the nekkid celebrity women’s iPhone® pictures) happened and lots of nudes of celebrities were leaked, starting at 4Chan to discredit 4Chan.

But what became clear was in 2014, there was a narrative, The Narrative that had to be protected.  And why gaming, and why gamers?

Remember the 1995 movie GoldenEye?  It was an okay Bond™ movie?  It cost $60 million to make, but made $356 million worldwide.  A tidy profit.  The 1997 video game GoldenEye 007 grossed over $250 million.  Not quite as much as the movie, but it also racked up hours and hours and hours of play by, mainly, guys.

In other words, Gamers.

Yup, you have no idea how deep it goes.  Snowden might . . .

What a propaganda tool!  Hours and hours of time and attention of people.  Having it the market dominated by (gasp!) young white men was simply not acceptable.  Why think of all the wrongthink they demanded?  Attractive women!  Strong men!  Violence solving problems!  Bond had to be changed to the less-manly Daniel Craig, and video games had to be changed to serve The Narrative.

But the Gamers still existed.  It was required to change the message, to show via the combined might of the gaming journalist press that Gamers were dead.  Boys need not apply to the future – the future was about putting a chick in it, and making her lame and gay.

Well, Kathleen Kennedy didn’t ruin games, but she ruined Star Wars®.  Lame and gay.

So, places like the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) funded by the GloboLeft and manned by the fire-breathing GloboLeftistElite came for the games.  Their job was to create “scholarly” papers regarding video games.  I’d write more about the connections of DiGRA, including supposed links to DARPA funding, but, oddly, much of that material is now 404’d.  Now, this stuff is nine years old, but I get videos on YouTube™ from fifteen years ago, so the removal had intent.

Remember when the mask started to come off at Hollywood, Twitter®, Wikipedia™, Amazon™ and YouTube©?  When the transnonsense became sacrament?  Why are there raging GloboLeftElite censors trying to shut down people merely questioning The Narrative?

It was GamerGate, the leaderless resistance to the GloboLeft that started it all.  One summary I read said, “A girl slept (allegedly) with some journalists for good reviews, a lot of stuff happened, and then Donald Trump was elected president.”  As I’ve said, there’s a LOT more there if you want to dig into this subject.  I won’t even mention PizzaGate.  Oh, too late:

But that was then.  Now, in 2024, GamerGate2.0 has started.

What this time?

Sweet Baby© Inc. is a “narrative development and consultation studio . . . .”  The idea is that they go into a company that actually makes games and tell them what story they should tell, and how they should stick a chick in it, and make her lame and gay.  In one of their triumphs, they kill off male characters (think Batman™ in the most cringe way possible just so strong, triumphant women can have the story.

Yeah.  That didn’t go over well with the core audience that buys the games.  Think about Left Behind 2 – where the popular male hero of the first Left Behind was reframed to be an evil white man, and the new hero was a trans sack of potatoes.

That’s what Sweet Baby® Inc. does, but I don’t think they were behind Left Behind 2, which shows you how deep the crapfest is.  Well, why would anyone hire a corrosive crapfest of woke to make their games more awful?  Here’s the idea in the CEO’s (Kim Belair) own words:

If you’re a creative working in AAA, which I did for many, many years, put this stuff up to your higher-ups. And if they don’t see the value in what you’re asking for when you ask for consultants, when you ask for research, go have a coffee with your marketing team and just terrify them with the possibility of what’s going to happen if they don’t give you what you want.

And, just in time for journalists to show their true spots haven’t changed since 2014 . . .

These are the journalists we’re dealing with.  Nice that they at least tell you to your face how they hate you.

The best news though is that someone is pushing back.  On Steam®, a service where you can buy and talk about games, a gamer has put together a simple list:  Sweet Baby Detected, which showcases games Sweet Baby has helped ruin.  That’s okay with Kim, she’s gotten rich making the people who buy her games angry while helping companies lose money.  As /pol/ notes, she’s probably a Marxist, so for her, it’s a two-fer.

I’m skipping out on fuzzing the f-bomb.  I agree with Anon on Marxists.

Sweet Baby isn’t alone.  There are hordes of these cancerous “companies” out there, with their sole intent to make stuff worse.

Is there any surprise that the Zoomer males think Pinochet did nothing wrong?

  2. Zoomers…Pinochet??? I’d think 1 out of 100,000 Zoomers would know whom Pinochet was, much less the country where he resided or whom the hell the evil Marxist Salvatore Allende was.

    1. The right-wing Zoomers love Pinochet, and know exactly what he did, why he did it, and how well it worked. There are memes about saving money by using the Grand Canyon instead of helicopters.

      1. I just had to teach my Zoomer who Pinochet was. When I got to “and the Helicopter meme guy from Chile” the light dawned.

        O tempora, o mores.

  3. John – – You have created a timeless classic: “ WHAT DO YOU GET A FEMINIST FOR HER BIRTHDAY ?? A
    A FAKE WEDDING.”

    That is just so deliciously accurate as it zings right to the heart of Femm-I-Nazi world.

    It is a keeper. Have it bronzed so you can put it up on the mantle next to The Boy’s bronzed baby shoe…..

  5. Ok I grok the whole mess now. Much obliged.

    What’s especially terrifying is that the manlings leading the gaming industry actually would have SEX with Zoe. Worse, give her power and goodies afterwards. Damn I’d rather boink Chloe from Fight Club.

    ‘Boys need not apply to the future – the future was about putting a chick in it, and making her lame and gay.’

    This is the heart of it. The Future is Female, XX and don’t ask Y, and yes comrades it is mandatory. The spirit of New Amerika is feminine, martial, controlling, and evil. Colleges with three times more Gender Commissars and Diversity Thugettes than actual teachers. That’s her!

    Pls. tune in next time for the exciting sequel to our current episode, ‘Planet of the Beeches’. That’s right lady it’s about mean trees.

    1. It’s bigger, and there’s more coming tomorrow. It won’t be an everyday thing, but there was some pretty big news.

  7. John, I actually have some knowledge of this due to some of the You Tube channels I follow. The relatively rapid unfolding of all of this has been a wonder to behold.

    On the one hand, I want to believe that this, at least, will stick where other issues have not. On the other hand, it does make me ask a very basic question about gamers, specific “Why do they still support any company that does this?” Perhaps, the argument can be made, we are the midst of the fallout now: given that game studio layoffs seem to have become an almost daily occurrence, perhaps the universe is righting itself. But it often seems to be the case from a neophyte that gamers always reach out for the next game. Why not just refuse to purchase any game from that company – or really, almost any Western based company at this point?

    This is a consumer based industry and ultimately, consumers have the last word. Long on independent content creation, short on established media outlets and studios.

    2. “Why do they still support any company that does this?”

      Why does anyone still buy Doritos?

  8. Pizza Gate, Gamer Gate, gate gate gate…….. Why couldn’t Richard Nixon have pulled his shenanigans outside of a more sleazy hotel (or even a whore house) instead of the Watergate motel? At least we’d have more creative names for some of these ongoing scandals….

    2. The Watergate hotel hosted the Democrat national committee. A small group of men, of whom President Nixon had no knowledge or control, broke in and stole Democrat secrets. In other words, completely normal election cycle activity, far from the President’s purview. Not spoken of in the news – the multiple break-ins of Republican headquarters, and numerous arson incidents. Oh, and the several Leftist bombings per day across the country.

      1. Indeed. They had us zoomed back then.

        Remember, the media reported only one thing, and the Senate held long (and popular) hearings on Watergate.

        Same old UniMedia, they’ve just refined the agit-prop since then.

  9. I gots nuttin’ on this one. I am not a gamer, and have never been one. Confession: I did try to play “Tass Times in Tone Town”, because my oldest spawn played it avidly. He is now a corporate executive for a high-tech manufacturing company, and I’m his retired Boomer dahd. Move on … nothing to be seen here.

  12. When the SHTF…and it’s coming…. nobody anywhere will give a rats ass about gamer gate or video gaming. We have WAY too much free time for WAY too many people. The most accomplished, productive and technologically proficient society in history and we waste time and energy on this insanity.

    And Pinochet should be sainted.

    1. Oh, it’s not the games. I’m only an occasional gamer (and that being one game) and this goes very deep down the rabbit hole.

      1. I am not a gamer. But vid gaming is one of the last areas where boys and men still are allowed to be boys and men.

        The Woke-Fem Borg cannot tolerate this, of course. It must destroy any male enjoyment or separate activity, even as it torpedoed the Boy Scouts and everything else.

        The gamer thing is important. Emblematic.

          1. Yeah and Donald didn’t do doodlysquat for my boys once he was elected.

            I noticed and have not forgotten.

          2. Yup, but he did cause the GloboLeftElite to drop the mask, and let everyone see what they really are.

  16. IT’s not about games. It was never about the games. It’s all about control – mind control.

    “Give me the child, and I will give you back the man.” No more chilling words have ever been spoken.
