      Even if these kind of dorks play games, they're too media illiterate to process even the most basic stuff that happens in them

    The Witcher 3: “Hello next protagonist who happens to be a woman, have I mentioned you’re my protege?”

    Radio silence

    The media: “By the way, go be bigots or else you won’t be popular on the internet.”

    Now: “Aaaah!1!1 How DARE YOU BETRAY MEN LIKE THIS!?!?!?!”

    They’ve become the new Anita Sarkeesians. They won’t even take their own advice of “make your own games”.

        Next time I run into a gamergater still doing victory laps from winning the culture war in 2014, I’ll ask them that when was the last time Ethnic Cleansing won an award.
