    Content Warning: Appears

    Normal person: Cool, thanks for the heads up. Even if I can handle it, I'm glad to know what to expect. Just one button press and it's game start.

        Back in the day something like this just ramped up the tension. Like "hell yeah that's what I'm here for brother pbrstalin-gun-2" Reactionaries have noone to blame but themselves for ruining it.

            Nintendo removed the blood and Sega tried to censor it by putting it behind a code! What is this WOKE bullshit for SNOWFLAKES? 😡rage-cry They couldn't handle playing SF2 in the arcade.

          If the soccer mom was a true G*mer she'd be upset at a black guy being on the stars team and TWO of the members being women. WOKE PC PROPAGANDA

            It’s funny when you realize that RE is partially meant as a Japanese homage to American horror+action movies and the first (non-cutscene) death is Kenneth, a black guy. So it would just be holding up a mirror to our own cultural atmosphere at the time.

            I’m sure if the cultural warriors lived back then, they would have manufactured a story about how Capcom making a black supporting character who doesn’t instantly die in RE2 (Marvin) was because they were worried about offending the wokes.

          Gamers have just become soccer moms it's ridiculous.

          They suck off Japanese games now but the instant Murdoch says otherwise, they'll be calling to ban them because they contain "unamerican" messages.

            Chuds don't like Japanese media or foreign media in general. They used to hate video games, comics and so on. Most of the time they just pretend to like it, so they can try to convert younger, nostalgic 30-somethings to their side.

            That's not to say that there have always been reactionaries within these groups, but they weren't as open and there weren't as many of them before Gamergate.

              I really do want to point out to a lot of normies that if they got the fourth reich they so desired, the SS would come for them too.

                The Nazis in the 20s/30s were full of who we'd consider failsons now. Half of them were lazy sons of factory owners and they kept repeatedly failing out of calvary school. The other half were people like Himmler who were opera nerds and obsessed with ancient runes. They were the anime otaku of their day.

              It's so funny seeing nerds dickriding conservatives when they see these childless single men playing with children's toys and watching cartoons as worthless d*generates who should be sent to die in a war
