It’s been nearly a decade since GamerGate, the misogynistic game industry tantrum that harassed women under the guise of demanding journalistic ethics—yet 2023 has felt like we’re not that far past it at all.
Can't get past the opening fucking sentence without gamedropping.
Amy Hennig is so beloved that people were outraged when Niel Druckmann ousted her from the company, using his Jewish powers to steal from a legit talented woman to The Game Industry's roaring applause.
And while most zoomers have forgotten her, Jade Raymond was one of the big names associated with the first two Assassin's Creed games. Which were massive for their time, even if the series has long become a joke.
I can even name terrible ones. Christine Love created a bunch of former indie "darlings" with such amazing morals as "being misogynistic to a woman justifies her genociding an entire civilization" and "faking a suicide is okay to teach a guy to lighten up." But it was all okay because she was a gay woman creator.
many of them are innovators in the space, like Sony Santa Monica’s Mila Pavlin, or Emilia Schatz at Naughty Dog, both of whom are leaders in accessibility. Esports organizations are creating women-led teams
So from failure to colossal failures, women get dumpstered in esports that the only ones ranking high are trans (so they like to play misogyny not that they suck)
women streamers are raking in cash with exclusive deals
Cough titty hot tub streamers cough
I ain't quoting after that, it's all 'it's not enough, quit being mean' whining after that and I swear did I miss the meeting where gamergate became the new illuminati just less guy and more delivering the pimp hand to women as how are we so powerful we can stop EVERY HR department and somehow mind control the normies to go 'don't spend money on this as women suck'
Ah looked it up, unfortunately I was right, killed herself last year. And that's only someone who was a guy temporarily, how about us who's ALWAYS lived as second fiddle?
Hey now, it's not just hot tub streamers. There's also tiddy streamers holding powered off controllers whilst their boyfriend plays off camera. And troony vtubers with voice changers.
One of the big appeals of hunting and fishing as hobbies is they naturally gatekeep out insufferable women. Still women in those spaces, but they generally are the kind who accept the hobbies for what they are. I don't think the rise of bow hunting is just because of Joe Rogan, I think the invasion by women of other hobbies plays a role.
Until then, we’re doomed to relive and rehash the events and ideologies of the GamerGate era over and over again—and I, quite frankly, am too old and too tired to do this forever.
The expert riposte to this kind of purity check is to start naming trannies and only trannies. They'll be forced to concede by their own rules even though you both know it doesn't count.
Once they include 1 woman, which will be white or asian, they will be "where are the women of color"? And pretty soon all white males and asian males will be wiped off from the list.
That's funny, because at this point I was expecting an industry wide purge of the pink- and blue hairs in order to restore common sense, good taste and profitability.
Imagine white knighting for a woman in 2023. Pretty much every major entertainment franchise and hobby enterprise has been fouled up by the feminist malcontents. And all of it sucked. How is that even remotely possible. Just think about it.
This was the funniest part of "what is a woman".
Up to and including "can you define a woman, without mentioning the word woman"
Leftist - "uhhhhhh....that's actually really hard"
They will probably say something like "There's actually a lot of nuance and... [word salad]" or "I'll leave that up to the experts to decide."
They can't steal Tim Pool's thing and get away with it!
Two X chromosomes, no tally whacker.
Most succinct definition I’ve heard
"There's a reason they're called 'disorders,' libshits."
Two X, no dangling T.

Well yeah. You lost, Kotaku. That's why your parent company declared bankruptcy.
Didn't they go broke twice?
Then why do they still exist? I'm not sure we won.
They attracted that sweet, sweet Soros money, but a second health bar doesn't mean you're losing.
Soooo, did we ever get those journalistic ethics?
Or did women just spread to other industries?

So, the only thing women are good for is straight sex appeal, in other words.
Whatever you say, Kotaku.
Women being treated like men, you mean.
Which is what it boils down to. Women can handle everything - except being treated like men. /s
I really wish society stopped playing deference to children masquerading as adults. I really do.
No /s required on that one, wasn't there that woman that tried to live like a man for a while and ended up depressed and I think killed herself?
Norah Vincent. She wrote a book about her experience, Self-Made Man.
Ah looked it up, unfortunately I was right, killed herself last year. And that's only someone who was a guy temporarily, how about us who's ALWAYS lived as second fiddle?
Living as a man is an Eldritch nightmare to a woman.
I can sum it better:
Living as a man, biologically = fantastic, socially = shut the fuck up unless you got something others want
Living as a woman, socially = easy mode, biologically = what new thing is leaking out of me?!?
Extra mode: trans = why you pick this option? Its the worst of both worlds!
Women get harassed because they act like retards and can't handle the consequences, so they cry about it.
If they either a) shut up in the first place, or b) took criticism and learned from it, they wouldn't have a problem.

Wait, Tate has a gaming streaming hustle?
It not even that they're women (mostly), it's that only the worst people would take a job just because of their sex.
So you don't see the best women developers represented in gaming, you see the biggest grifters so, of course, they will ruin everything they touch.

"Innovators" 😂
Women ride the coat tails of men. Always have, always will.
Kek. Women are the original "You made this?... I made this!" meme
Welcome to feminism
I got a woman's name for them: Zoe Quinn
She said it was a witch hunt in the name of journalism. Didn't you read?
Carol Shaw, creator of Centipede and River Raid.
You're welcome.
Don’t forget Burger Becky. Or Burger Bill? Well, who knows…

OG trans.

The one that made 3DO Doom playable at all.
Still sucked, but he was put into impossible circumstances. Kind of like the ET game, really.
Women are outdated, we need more nonbinary men and women plus in games
You call yourself a feminist? Name every woman!
Once they include 1 woman, which will be white or asian, they will be "where are the women of color"? And pretty soon all white males and asian males will be wiped off from the list.

GG lives free in Kotaku's head.
"Your Mom"
stop giving them attention
