No one actually fucking likes him, right? None of us were excited to cast that vote or we just wanted Trump out, right. Like at the end of the day, that is the win, that Trump is no longer going to be president for another four years. But I really urge everyone to understand that we elected a old white dude that is a career politician deeply rooted in pro-war neoliberal philosophies. Not just not having Trump isn't enough.

And I'm really also tired of people being like "well we got to get a Democrat in, because we can fight, as the left we can push Democrats and get them to do the things we want them to do". Which is what you say every fucking election and it never works. - Anita Sarkeesian on the election

    Also as someone who was vaguely anti-sjw in HS, mostly due to the crowd I hung around with, embracing the kind of games that people who hate her shat on was the best thing I ever did. Like yeah Life is Strange and Depression Quest aren't as fun as like Halo in the moment, but LiS is far and away my favorite game, and made me reflect on myself more than any dumb shooter could've. Not to say shooters are bad, per se, I still have thousands of hours across the destiny games, but I would def recommend those kinds of games to anyone who hasn't broadened their horizons yet.
