Just watched the SVU show. It dramatized everything to an insane degree.
While terrible, if you look at it as complete satire then it gets even more hysterical.
My sides hurt from laughing last night. I literally cannot even lean forward.
That was so glorious and the only ones pissed off about it are anti-Gamergate. Well, and Oliver, but he makes good points. The irony of Kotaku slamming Kotaku and companyâs narrative is delicious.
And in other news, Ash cites an anti-gamergate source (people gave up on PixieJennie masquerading as a neutral a long time ago) and completely misses the point about why âGamers are Deadâ was so bad.
Yeah, that episode was really bad, lol. Wasnât it being touted as the final nail in the GG coffin? Now look at it, itâs the laughing stock of the internet. Some people on KiA mentioned that it has to be satire, like, the writers actually took it to the extremes of what the antis claim GG is about to show them just how stupid it is. I mean, maybe thatâs not the case, but like, now everyone and their grammaws get to see just how fucking stupid it is.
I watched a full 20 mins, got bored and was frankly disgusted by what was on the screen. Then I saw the supercut, and was like, wow⌠just too funny how bad it is. I mean, in the first five minutes, we have 2 guys make fun of a girl for being⌠wait for it. A girl. LikeâŚ
Ok, I mean, seriously. How many dudes into gaming wouldnât want a nice, attractive girl to game with? How many dudes would do anything to have a girl developer give them attention? Itâs like, all those times a girlâs dad warned her about horny young men only wanting to get into her panties and to watch out, like, that sage advise is not real? Because young males are too busy playing games and hating girls? If thatâs the case, I feel really bad for Kleenexâs stock value right now.
Anyone remember the old âfingerpoke of doomâ that led to the death of WCW? This was in essence the fingerpoke of doom for the misogynist/âgamers hate females in gamingâ narrative because people can see how bad and unrealistic it is.
âThey leveled upââŚI was done after that.
@tataki I canât believe the actors and actresses were able to say even half of that stuff with a straight face. I know the one who plays detective Benson ( Malllissa Hakarthy I think? ) mustâve thought to herself âThis is fuckkng stupid, like really? Weâre actually taking this seriously? Oh well I still get paidâ
Yeah, that was what, 7 minutes into it? Who on earth would almost get raped and say âthey leveled upâ when asked what happened? It doesnât even make any sense. Itâs so poorly written. What is level up supposed to mean? Is that supposed to be some kind of âgamerâ slang for poppân a boner? Raging wood? Rockinâ hard? Mad erection? Shit, next time a woman asks me if Iâm ready to pound it, Iâm going to say, âyeah, Iâm all leveled up!â or ânot ready yet, let me level up!â
Oh! Oh!!
The souls games! Theyâre metaphors for sperm! And the more I level up, the more raging hard my dick is!
âDemonâs Spermsâ
âDark Spermsâ
âDark Sperms 2â
Shit, how many sperms did I fucking farm just to make my stats level up? Man, I feel so gay now. Now I want to know what Estus is. I bet itâs a metaphor for semen. Sheeeeeeeeiiit. My masculinity is in question! Itâs misandry! The developers are misandrists! Misandry in gaming!!
That exists.
This shit needs to be satire, otherwise i donât see how the writter thought it made sense at all.
What i fin hilarious is that they
A ) Used made up names for stuff like the deep web/tor project, 4/8chan, etc, yet drop named kotaku
B ) Portrayed the damsel in distress with qualities that neither Anita, Zoe or Brianna have shown at any moment around the controversy
I always miss the good shit, but then again I was out at a friendâs doing other mess.
Oliver was mad at the journalists posting âshockedâ articles about the episode, while itâs the exact narrative they themselves pushed. Now that they see their imaginary story unfolding infront of them they may have realized how stupid it actually looks.
Itâs hilarious how they wanted to present her as good and likable so they made her the exact opposite of the LWs.
I just watched that supercutâŚhey they made the main gamer guy thin and good looking so thatâs cool. Also gamers used to be characterized as fat,lazy basement dwelling neckbeards but now weâre organized,resourceful handsome rapist terrorist.
People have died because of gamergate. Donât ask for actual proof of that, you misogynist!

BTW baph is no more. The mod was selling social security numbers or something so hotwheels kicked him out and closed the board.
Why are the names redacted? Niggas need to be held accountable for their stupidity.
Because as much as we all would like that, the last thing we needs is bait for trolls to give ammo to the antis.
God, Ice-T made that worth watching. I canât help but laugh at the puns.
And the disparity between their LW expy and the actual LWs is hilarious. You have an accomplished Indian-American developer who initially balked at the threats she received in the episode. In reality, we have white women who exist on the very fringes of the industry and conflate criticism with harassment.
Like seriously, the only thing that would have made it better is if McIntosh dive kicked the leader during the final standoff and said âItâs about ethKICKs in your faceâ.
This is so crazy, it had to have been written by a pro-GG staff member.
When I hear anita and women like her talk about sexism in gaming and "rape culture"I canât help but think these women are projecting some kinky rape fantasy onto the gaming community.
