You know, partially related, but what is the track record for the old GG figures going crazy left or going more legit or at least staying sane.
As it feels like it's 50/50 as on one side you got Chris, Dev, think Thunderfoot fell WELL off then on the other side you got your Sargon, shoeonhead, and Metokur who's STILL alive last time I checked.
The last thing I remember of Chris was when he posted a video of his shitty LA apartment with no air-conditioning.
I don't know who the chick was. I do know that anyone who would move to the opposite side of the country for a chick he barely knows is a fucking simp, and that he'd be extremely malleable to her suggestions and worldview.
There is this idea that the most extreme people are converts, but that hasn’t been my experience with people at all. Most of the “red pilled” former lefties I’ve known were just waiting for some event to justify their instantaneous return to the leftist fold. It’s like they were forced by cognitive dissonance to temporarily adopt a more rational worldview, but that only lasted for a few years until the pain of cognitive dissonance wore off.
Believe it or not, people like that are actually on-side. Their policies are typically sub-optimal, but not usually damaging, and are actually genuinely supportive of the general population and loyal to the country.
In a perfect world, the political Left would be fully replaced by them as controlled opposition.
Huey Long wouldn't be letting criminals out of jail.
She did flirt with being with the breadtubers but her stance on 'ALL pedophiles deserve the chipper including the female ones' (which even the right fails on occasionally) kept her from going fully left.
Then she got married to a guy who I swear I heard he was a monarchist and had a baby so became even more to the right. The Charlie Kirk assassination really made her burn A LOT of bridges to the left and last I heard, she reached out and started talking to Sargon again.
They didn't "go" crazy left. They already were. They were just lefties in denial that gamergate was actually left vs right from the beginning. Once they realized it, they inevitably tried to spin it to blame the right, like the left always does when caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
I don't know if they were even in denial as let's be honest, back in the 2014 days we ALL GREATLY misunderstood just how demonic these shitstains were!
They probably got caught up in the 'these people are awful' angle before realising it was also ideological as back then, most of us JUST thought they were grossly corrupt.
we ALL GREATLY misunderstood just how demonic these shitstains were
Only the "fashionably liberal" misunderstood. Right wingers had known about the demons in control of all of journalism (including game journalism) for decades. Rush Limbaugh dedicated his entire life to dragging it out into the sunlight.
Yeah and most of us back in the day were JUST GAMERS. We didn't really give a shit about any of it we just wanted good games and be left alone, I include myself on that.
So it really is ironic that despite ALL the years we endured both right AND left trying to claim 'video games cause violence' rhetoric, we were largely quiet and it was only after they incurred our wrath did they FULLY regret it as we were pretty much the first to truly tell them to fuck off..
Speak for yourself. If you were from a post-communist background like Poland or dealt with narcissists then you'd knew exactly what kind of dead-eye monsters they are. I may have some sliver of doubt at first but the moment they puffed their chest by open declaration of unity under Silverstring Media I already knew that these people will not stop unless forced with violence.
oh hey look, it’s that right wing violence I’m told never ever happens
Once again, a registered member of a political party committing an unrelated felony that is completely divorced from politics is not political violence. That's taking on faith that Chris is even telling the truth about this person.
If we want to play this game, they're gonna have a bad time with all the registered Democrats that are committing crimes in urban areas.
Its the Fundamental Attribution Error. A basic bitch psychological fallacy.
I (and my side) do wrong because of external circumstances that are justifiable, out of our control, or genuine mistakes that should be forgiven. You (and your side) do them because you are horrible evil people internally, and everything wrong you do is because of how evil/awful you are.
Its literally Psyche 101 lessons that every single person whose gone to college has taken the class to learn about. So the fact that they engage in it so uncritically shows just how stupid, intentionally or not, they are.
How the fuck do you go from the satirical song "Punch a Nazi," eviscerating leftist violence, to grasping at straws to to smear the right for being violent? Utterly pathetic cuck behavior.
Also, terrible and bad faith argument right out the gate, too.
...that right wing violence I’m told never ever happens
I literally don't think I've ever heard someone say the right never commits violence. So even if this weren't disingenuous bullshit, it's still not disproving anything. Yeah, sometimes a rightwinger flies of the handle and does some atrocious shit, and sometimes it's for political reasons too. The left does it a fuckton more. That's the argument, Chris. And you know this.
Just all around disgusting behavior from this weirdo.
Honestly if the killer is telling the truth he deserve to get off, being tormented by women your entire life and denied the ability to fulfill your most basic needs is enough to drive any normal guy crazy.
This sort of tracks with my running theory that there's like about 5 good youtubers out there that haven't gone insane in some way and fell off the deep end.
And I don't even think I could name all 5. It's like AVGN is the only one without any horrible rumors or weird behavior.
Which just goes to show you. Watch old movies, and play the shitty games that suck ass, and you just might turn out okay.

Chris moving from New York to LA just to see his long-distance girlfriend was the beginning of the end.
Are Lacey and him still together?

Pretty sure they broke up YEARS ago.

Shoe is pretty far left, so the fact she seems sane and in the same league as Sargon is kinda wild.
But she at least knows murdering people is wrong.
She's an old style Huey Long Leftist Populist.

It's sad, because Chris Ray Gun is actually talented.
Even sadder he took down his "Punch a Nazi" song, because apparently he doesn't agree with it any more.

They know. They're just lying. It's the same way they claim every American war has neen Christian violence but also we're not Christian country
