Yes, it's over literally nothing. Yes, gamers are harassing people.

This game is WOKE garbage. I was just trying to enjoy my APOLITICAL car game when it FORCED DIVERSITY onto me by asking what RACE I wanted to play. None of the races were normal (WHITE) and it even asked me of I wanted to play a DRAG RACE.
Even after all that, the game had the temerity to ask me what kind of TRANSmission I wanted to RACE with and I got so mad at the FORCED POLITICS that I had to calm down with MTN DEW and my favourite DAKIMAKURA.
Your favorite dakimakura depicts a character of the Japanese race. Woke much?
Umm actually all anime characters are white, especially the ones that are canonically japanese.
Not a lot of people will remember this but GamerGate is what lead to the initial popularity of 8chan. Although GamerGate was originally centered around 4chan, 4chan banned discussion of GamerGate in September 2014 and then all the GamerGate freaks moved to 8chan. The GamerGate board on 8chan was the most active board for a long time. Christopher Poole aka moot decided to sell 4chan in 2015, saying that he was tired of dealing with controversies like GamerGate.
The popularity of 8chan is what lead to the Qanon conspiracy theory. While Q originally posted on 4chan in October 2017, the next month Q began posting exclusively to 8chan until December 2020. There is a decent amount of evidence that the identity of Q was either Jim Watkins (the owner of 8chan) or his son, Ron Watkins. If 8chan had not been popularized by the first GamerGate, 8chan might not have had enough notoriety for the Qanon conspiracy theory to spread as much as it did.
Qanon helped to reshape the Republican party. Qanon helped elect politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Qanon is what motivated some people to participate in January 6, such as the Qanon shaman.
So while this GamerGate 2 is probably silly nonsense, it could be laying the groundwork for a worse political movement in the future.
Yes, as much as we like to laugh at gamers being ridiculous, there's a timeline from gamergate to bannon to qanon to trump.
The 4chan exodus and its consequences have been disastrous for the human race.
I remember when anons were posting with the striped-shirt cartoon girl (Vivian?) avatar of gamergate. Feels so very long ago.
Vivian James, and she still pops up from time to time when these dipshits get talking about "video game journalism"
Slash r slash kotakuinaction still have her as their banner? Ah, memories...
Gamergate is actually a species of cicada and will re-emerge with a new brood every 7 years.
What do the Gamers even think is happening, how is this company turning games woke? Like, the devs are already woke but don't know how to make woke games, so they contract Sweet Baby Games to tell them "make the protagonist a black woman"? Or the devs are based and unwoke, and somehow get tricked into paying them to make the games woke against their will?
They found a target for the "wokefication" so now they are lashing out their pent up anger. It really was just a matter of time.
hint: gamergate 2 doesn't have to happen if you can simply ignore whatever dumb controversy this is
Yeah but the chuds won't stop harassing women tangentially related to the company.
chuds won't stop harassing women
All you really need to say is this.
I've managed to avoid learning about whatever the fuck this is
gamers are horrible
My cousin's out there oppressing g*amers and what do I get? Twitter duty.
Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Sweet Baby Party of the United States?
The only sweet baby I care about is some sweet baby ray's on a rack of ribs
Games are expensive, unplayable, bug-ridddled pieces of shit all because they've put more feeemales, pronouns, and colored people in the games now
I looked up the game that set this off and they're legit just mad because it was an always-online buggy heap of shit, which a writing company would have nothing to do with.

No one should care. What even is this?!
If this goes big, at least all those right wing influencers will need to say Sweet Baby Inc a thousand times to their idiot audiences and they will also have to all say it. And you know it will bother them. Actually that might be the one reason why this actually does blow up, but I doubt it has legs.
I see Sweet Baby Inc and get it mixed up with Matt Walsh's Sweet Baby Gang. Maybe there can be some confusion to get Walsh labed "woke".

The only good argument I've seen (on Tik Tok) against sweet baby Inc is how they weaponize idpol and or rainbow capitalism and otherwise have a hollow message and refuse to touch on things like capitalism classism etc. Which obviously, they're a corporation in favor of capitalism, but this will never really occur to chuds to attack them in this manner. Haven't played any sweet baby Inc games to my knowledge, so idk what the plots are like so I can't truly comment on it. But if someone has let us know if you've gotten the vibe of them throwing on rainbow paint and not really doing much else with it.
