That seems funny to regular people but crazy leftists will try to cancel you for that joke. They will search for you and if they find your name they will go after your employer and try to get you fired.
"This man just se...rrr errr, talked to me in a sexually-harassing manner."
Even she could figure in a split second that her accusation was too retarded and she watered-it-down on the spot. While trying to keep the emotional appeal of a woman crying "sexual harassment".
Those people burn books because they disagree with the authors stance so I wouldn't be surprised they burn their merch clothing as well if someone gets canceled. How dare OP not burn his overwatch jacket, lmao.
I remember when some of these nutsos were burning or otherwise destroying their copies of the Tokyo Ghoul manga because a particular character turned out to not be transgender when they had "headcanoned" her to be. It takes very little to become a "bigot."
That was my point, it did not start woke. I really liked it in the beginning, it had really cool characters and the gameplay was new. Then they turned Soldier gay and the entire thing about Tracers butt, after that I simply did not care anymore. I understand they went heavy in to diversity and feminism.
I know 0 people that still play it.
Not at launch. They started bowing to sjw stuff right before the launch though with sarkesian complaint of not a diverse selection of female body types compared to the men. But that’s not that big of a deal because there were still atteactive characters. Then the concern trolling over a tracer pose. The gay stuff didn’t happen until a bit later
Yeah Overwatch came out in 2016 and was in development for a while, at least 2013. It was on the cusp of developers still trying to cater to "gamers" and just going for diversity.
You could say that they were already pushing for diversity in some ways, but no more than Street Fighter was decades earlier. It wasn't until they started getting "feedback" in terms of progressive leftists on twitter that they started doing thing like making characters gay.
They were compliant. They threw Zarya in there literally just so there would be a butch dyke character. Oh and they nixed that one pose of Tracer kind of perking her ass up a bit real early on.
Overwatch IS super woke, but they eat their own. Doesn't matter how many years and millions of dollars you spent on the pro-woke frontlines. You so much as breath the wrong way they will burn you if they can.
Wow! Never had the Gamergate moment IRL. I assumed people in the real world didn't give a fuck about Gamergate and that it was just an internet thing.
The most I've ever had is one moment with a feminist at Sydney University. I was frequently there every Saturday for Japanese Lessons via Community College. I had a Cannibal Holocaust sticker on the back of my iPad and was sitting outside.
The Cannibal Holocaust sticker was a cartoon version of the infamous image of the naked girl impaled on the pole as drawn by a Japanese friend of mine.
It was a really cool cartoon version of what is arguably the most iconic image in Cannibal Holocaust.
Anyways, I was sitting there at a table minding my own business reading text book on iPad when this purple haired frumpy girl came up to me and asked me "what the hell is that?" in regards to the sticker on the back of my iPad.
I told her "It's an iPad. What else would it be?"
"NO! The STICKER! That filthy sticker! Do you know how sexist and degrading that is?"
Me: "It's just a cartoon...it's not the real image."
Her: <raising her voice> "I don't fucking care! It's still fucking degrading and misogynistic as all hell and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself for having it on your fucking iPad!"
Me: "<shrugs> it's my iPad...I paid for it. I'll decorate it however I like, but thanks for your input."
Her: "Fine! You want to scream "I'm a misogynistic pig!" then go right ahead!"
Me: "Okay...then would you call the female artist who drew this image a misogynist? Because it was a female artist who drew this cartoon version and I happen to really like her artwork and she is a friend of mine."
Her: "Yeah fucking right! No self respecting woman would draw that shit!"
Me: "But a woman did draw it! Her name is Utomaru. Her artwork is awesome and I'm proudly displaying her art on my iPad because I really like it."
Her: "WHATEVER YOU FUCKING PIG! YOU'RE STILL A FUCKING MISOGYNIST!"
And then she waddled off in a huff...I still wish to this day I had been filming it...it was hilarious to me that someone could get so offended by a cartoon version of that image. And yes, the image was actually drawn by a woman...so I wasn't making that up. :D
Her: "WHATEVER YOU FUCKING PIG! YOU'RE STILL A FUCKING MISOGYNIST!"
Seems like a good summary of their beliefs.
I still wish to this day I had been filming it...
Good man. Ideally, one would also restart the conversation with something like "sorry, what was that?" so the first statement would not be lost either.
I don't know the amount of nudity on the sticker but I would also find this disconcerting. I never watched this particular video nasty but I believe I have seen the still you're talking about, know the film's infamy for some rape scene and real animal cruelty and would genuinely be disturbed by it knowing what I do about the film. Now you have the right to put whatever you want on your property but if you're out in public, people, including kids can see that and you shouldn't expose them to it. That a woman drew it doesn't matter. I don't know if I would call you misogynistic, but some of those filmmakers of that era in Italian cinema definitely were. So, she may have very well been making a scene for a scene's sake, or disturbed and handled it wrong, but I'm not being hyperbolic here when I say, yeah, that would creep me out. Again though, you're property and no one should make a scene like that person did.
Yeah, look I see your point. It is in many ways a "tasteless" image. Personally I'm not offended by it, nor do I see it screaming "misogynist" (well, about me anyways)...but I do see your point to some degree about being out in public and someone else having the right to offense. I mean I certainly wouldn't deny someone the right to be offended and I wouldn't even mind if someone came up and had a civil discourse about it, either. But the keywords there being civil discourse.
Personally, I'm not a misogynist. I don't hate women. I had mixed up feelings for a long time based on something that happened to me as a kid (ahhh fuck it, I'll just say it. I was molested by a woman as a kid.)...but I've dealt with it in therapy and have come out the other end to realize that one persons shitty actions are not representative of the entire gender and you can't hate the entire gender because of one fucking asshole.
But anyways, I do see your point...I just thought the outburst was amusing to me. Personally speaking, I just like the image and have always been into weird vulgar imagery. It's not that I go out of my way to offend, I just happen to like offensive shit and have no issue displaying that like of mine. Probably why I gravitated to horror films and Cannibal Corpse as a kid because of all the grotesque imagery and me just having a liking for it....and it was an outlet of sorts for repressed thoughts.
I'm sorry that someone hurt you like that. You were not responsible and should not feel you have to rush to straighten out your feelings so that some crazy harpy isn't offended. It's natural when someone is abused to fear the demographic that did it, women mention this all the time, but don't give males the same courtesy. Having anyone scream at you in public like some crazed person (who could potentially get violent) is enough to upset most people and you handled it better than most would. You're not a misogynist, they over use that word anytime they don't like something, it's thrown round in hopes of scaring their target into obeying, ignore it. People like horror movies, it is theorized, because it sort of helps better prepare us for bad things, so we can survive them, or so we can survive them the next time. So it's not a wonder that you or anyone would like horror films (and why they are so popular now with our societies going to hell). I tend to stay away from stuff like CH but have seen several other films on the video nasty list, which I'm looking over again now. Having seen some of those films recently it's amazing to me that they were categorized with CH. Shows you that "tasteless" can be very subjective and to really think about it before giving into any objectors.
Yeah it’s pretty much a mess. There’s a reason that the iconic character on like all
over watch merchandise and in all the art and who got a special comic book for Christmas 2016 is a lesbian.
Not gonna lie, this sounds like some r/thathappened shit but also I figure that if this sort of thing were to happen a gamestop in 2021 is exactly the place where it would. I mean there's the "IT'S MA'AM" and "Sonic's arms aren't blue" incidents which we have photographic proof of
If you didn't mention the location I would have straight up not believed you.
didn't know these people actually existed outside Twitter lmfao
See, there was a time when normies were warned that what happens in social media will spill into the real world.
Normies, centrists, moderates, and everyone who wanted to walk down the middle adamantly said "LOL real world isn't like Twitter world."
Little did they know that the Left were merging the two worlds, due to academia, politics, and media. People became inculcated with the SJW lingo and talking points online, and then brought that nasty stuff into the real world.
At this point, the snowball is rolling down the hill and only picking up steam, and there's really no way to stop it. It's like a train with no brakes.
On a more serious note: I have found that while they exist, they are 1) much less common than you might think, 2) very much a localized problem confined to major cities, and/or 3) usually less aggressive than you might think. All because the things they would usual do on the Twitter they cant in real life. Which may be why they are so extreme on Twitter.
"Madam, I can assure you I'm no rape apologist. I've never apologised for a single rape."
That seems funny to regular people but crazy leftists will try to cancel you for that joke. They will search for you and if they find your name they will go after your employer and try to get you fired.
We live in crazy times.
That’s why you tell them your name is something like Ben Dover, Bud Miller, Amanda Hugginkiss, etc.
Hugh Mungus Wot
eXCuSe ME!?!
"This man just se...rrr errr, talked to me in a sexually-harassing manner."

Wut? Isn't Overwatch ultra woke? What does have to do with rape?
Probably because Blizzard = bad now, so wearing anything Blizzard related = supporting bad.

and the nutters who burned beetles tracks nothin new eh
It was not that woke but they did go increasingly woke. They had cool male characters and sexy girl characters at start.
Dude it was ridiculously woke. Had a gay character come out every season it seemed
That was my point, it did not start woke. I really liked it in the beginning, it had really cool characters and the gameplay was new.

I didn't know people who wear Overwatch military jackets existed outside of Reddit.
The most relevant point here.
How is such a person even a customer?
What is wrong with overwatch? Guess I’m out of the loop
Thanks!
You mean besides it being an sjw shitshow from the start?
I had vaguely heard, but I'm out of the loop on a lot of gaming stuff. I've been down a modded Skyrim rabbit hole.
Yeah it’s pretty much a mess. There’s a reason that the iconic character on like all over watch merchandise and in all the art and who got a special comic book for Christmas 2016 is a lesbian.
How stunning and brave.

Can you hear me back there in 2008? Look I know you're excited about that Obama guy, but I got bad news on that front.
Oh look into buying some bitcoin too.
Record these animals.
The internet can only handle so much cringe in a day.
the internet is made of cringe these days...
You may not be a rape apologist but you sure are a shitty game apologist lul
