Bear with me on this one, because the more I think about it the more the sperging from people like Matt Walsh about gamers makes sense. Gamers have always been under attack from both the left and the right, which is why I always reee so hard at them all. It's become really noticeable how not just TERFs but Thots are being courted by the right generally.
It seems they're being lured in by the promise of getting more of the female vote and because they assume that straight white men are going to automatically vote right wing anyway they've got no problem shitting on male gamers especially and shaming them. They've really been ramping up the pandering lately too and they're doing the typical right wing thing of going "No! We're more left wing than the left are! Vote for us women we respect the differences between the genders!" which is one of the main gripes both these demographics of women have amongst the left.
The TERFs have a fair amount of reach despite the left's attempts at cancelling them and Thots are often newly minted millionaires that made their cash from OF and if they even have half a brain they'll be investing in properties for that sweet sweet passive income they can live off for the rest of their lives. A lot of the mainstream right ( Yes in America as well ) seem to genuinely believe in the basement dwelling neckbeard stereotype and yes there are those about but I think they underestimate how many fairly ordinary people like to play video games and don't appreciate having their hobby shat on constantly.
Just watch, a new faction is forming of tradcucks, TERFs and Thots who are out to do some misogynist bashing against gamers. They want things to go back the way they were before the Trans movement happened and men started noticing all this behaviour. The left have always used GamerGate 'harassment' as a stick to beat gamers with and I think the right are going to concoct their own version now because they don't like gamers calling out Thots especially for being fake gamer grills among other things. It's going to be beautifully weird.
Tradcucks are male breeders. They think the only value to life is to beget more life like a virus. Thus, things like video games which is something a person does outside of breeding and often does in lieu of breeding is "degenerate". Tradcucks are the ultimate goy slaves.
You're overthinking it. They're just simps who know that pretending to be right wing is a more effective way to push their feminist beliefs.
No, you're reducing what's going on to terms you like but it's too simple.
They are in fact simps that don't recognize they're simps and they think they're anti-feminists when they are in fact feminist. They're right-wing not because they are pretending or that they are doing it on purpose as a plot to push their feminist believe. They genuinely think they have right-wing beliefs and that they are fighting against "evil" while not being a simp or a feminist while they're actually fighting against good while being both a simp and a feminist.
In short, they're just another brand of useful idiots for the system pigs. They hate guys like antifa and yet they're just the other side of the same coin.
