Articles like this remind me how much I miss the days of getting teased for reading comics or i remember getting laughed at when I brought Heir to the Empire to read in 6th grade. Why can’t these things just be niche? Anita Sarkessian and the ladies at the Mary Sue remind me of the women who mocked nerds but then saw it becoming trendy so they then acted like they were always into these things.

The goal is to invade every male space and either subvert it or destroy it. There can be no competing spaces, fictional or real, against the Message. Most of all anything resembling the Heroes Journey for boys to emulate and work towards. It needs to be grrlbosses who are magically gifted all their skills (or just had them from birth) as they mow down men twice their size or it's too misogynistic and needs updating.

Well, you're all still dorks to me. So whether you want to be grouped in with Anita and Mary Sue or not, you're grouped in.

The Dudebros are "The Critical Drinker" and Nerderotic

Not just them but they're the ones she specifically calls out.

As DDayCobra points out there's old videos of them talking about how much they love Star Trek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWYci7LKUIY

DudeBros = two guys who decided to stay in for the night and order pizza and breadsticks, while u/Vlad_TheChad_Impaler is banging both their sisters at the Red Roof Inn.

I've been seeing replies about places reacting to these kind of stories and the comments are not backing up the propaganda this time. Just like with that recent Marvel Rivals drama where a girl tried to Zoe a guy gamer, this isn't 2014 anymore and the fatigue is real and prevalent that normies are a lot more tuned in to how bad things are.

The archive cuts it off so here's what the author of this piece looks like, not that you didn't already have a 50/50 chance of getting it right anyways https://archive.is/5R3Lh

Yes, she knows she looks like Florence Pugh.

SPOILER: She looks like she ate Florence Pugh.

Video of Anita saying she's not a fan of video games

MS- "You took that out of context!!"

Years old videos of Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic talking about how much they love Star Trek

What I have come to realize is that there are men in this world who want to pretend like they’re fans of this stuff when they don’t actually care. They’ll buy a Spock doll and pretend like they understand the show itself but the reality is that they just buy nerdy things and make that their personality.

Them: "How DARE YOU claim Anita is just grifting! Didn't you see her pose with a big stack of video games?

Also them

These people, despite all their parading around as experts on “nerdom” don’t actually know what they’re talking about. They’ll attack and lash out and demand you prove yourself but in reality, those of us who actually love and enjoy these franchises know we know a lot more than some grifters online.

The issue with these Right Wing figure heads talking about Trek is that they miss one important detail about Star Trek: It was never for them.

But since, men like these X personalities think that they are the authority on all things “nerdy.” The reality is, they just speak loudly and incorrectly about these franchises.

You’re a Republican/MAGA personality. Star Trek was never yours.

It has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Which is probably why the whales, Gracie and George, are my favorites.

Wait, you claim to be a huge Trekkie and your favorites are 2 nonverbal animals from the 4th movie?

Aren’t these the women who get upset when you ask them what comic book they like?

The whales are her favorite because she's as fat as they are.

People I don't like are attacking the thing that now finally panders to me after 60 years and now I like it for that reason, so they can't.

Yeah, sorry, doesn't work that way.

Why do people want to pretend to like things they wouldn't otherwise care about, anyway? I'm not talking about the subversives at the top. I'm talking about the useful idiots who pretend to like and understand the games and shows that they clearly only care about on a superficial level.

The author is a disgusting bipedal cow. It takes a lot of (((inbreeding))) to end up obese with a flat chest.

All these people should have been thrown down an old well with some of these things for company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bxn6yPFOsA

im really surprised she didnt marry a rapefugee or something to show how pro diversity she is.. but at the same time i guess she doesn't want or she knows diversity men are usually the true "misogynists" and "sexist".
