Too late, the normies have become aware. Was listening to Archcast with RGE and he correctly pointed out when GG originally happened, the normies where like "why are gamers picking on women?"

Now after years of shit entertainment, when the Sweet Baby shit came out, even with attempts at spin, the normies went "so that's why my games have been so shit!"

All the defenders are doing is outing themselves as something that needs to be purged to get decent entertainment from the West again.

It wouldn't have taken them a decade to realize that GG was right if they weren't retarded simps. Normies are almost as bad as the crowd shitting things up in the first place.

That's what makes them normies, they're the ones that will follow the same path even as obstacles get put in place until they can't physically do it anymore.

The non normies instantly find a new path at the first obstacle or just chuck the obstacle out of the way if possible.

Or turn around and trailblaze in a completely different direction. IIRC one of the recent Zelda open world games had this "option" where many players just buggered off before even talking to the first tutorial npc.

That's why the best term for them is not 'normie' but chattel

Normies are a resource. They're retarded, but if you can wield them you have considerable power over the path your culture will follow.

Yeah, it's taken a long while for people to catch on to what GG was about if they didn't already know. If you didn't understand that "Five Guys" wasn't a restaurant chain, you basically had no idea what was happening. Alternatively, even if you played video games, if you weren't active on gaming forums, you wouldn't know what happened either.

GG was unironically a canary in the coalmine, the problem was most "miners" were completely obvious to being in a coalmine.
