I agree. Those are also valid responses. And yes, she needs to stop worrying about he thinks.

Try to live in the real world, dear. Making a sanitized fantasy world where all feminists have to worry about is words is naive and fucks it up for the rest of us who worry about the subtle and obvious injustices we come across every day. Because people get tired of listening.

I’m not sure why chicks think saying “You’re upsetting me!” is going to make a douchebag stop. That hasn’t made a dickhead stop in the history in the universe, it gives them *power*. Since you’re at work you can’t claw his eyes out but just say something in a very droll tone like “OMG can you please stop talking” or…

You don’t even know what that means. You don’t have to switch characters to play with a Hanzo like you should with a stubborn Bastion if you want to win. You just have to know and perform your role. If you don’t do that, we lose, but we’ll lose anyway, because there is always a Soldier76 who is the most…

Hanzo is superfun. But I stopped playing him in season 2 because of the salt in comptitive mode. HINT: his skillset transfers over the best to Zenyatta imo.

Dislike.

You switch. Or don’t keep dropping your barrier on Reinhardt so I don’t get smoked. Or start paying attention to the backline as DVa or Winston instead of letting me, the only one aware we’re getting flanked, can focus. Or start tossing your harmony orb on people who need healing instead of putting it on Reaper(!) and…

Huh...

Also FFA Deathmatch mode is surprisingly awesome. It’s where all the snipers go to murder everyone in quick succession. Although I’ve been told Hanzo is practically meta these days, I will never get over the salt I got for trying to play him in competitive mode and besides, that person who told me is GM and I am down…

That Mortal Kombat theme song brought everyone to that movie. They used to play the remixes in clubs. It helped that it was on various cable channels 24/7.

Dodai! Belated welcome back!

Cool, cool.

The gaming culture is so weird. The toxicity to devs is, I think, a result of trying to avoid responsibility in consuming. This trickles into the game’s environment as everything being the devs’s fault so anything goes, which then adds to the players toxicity in a team game because that won’t work. If it’s a single…

Overwatch competitive mode is almost unplayable if you’re a decent human being just trying to have some fun. The social customs are...it’s like Bizarro-world.

Yes, because we are not new to the internet.

Um, the ratio of adults to children in Overwatch comp is like 2:10, at least it was in season 5. Or hadn’t you noticed? It was summer vacation.

Let me spell it out for the people who don’t play Overwatch and like to pretend that they do in order to be scoldy or be all “What about the children!”

I’m going to say it: I told you so. https://kotaku.com/1804696795

*snort* Are you parked on multiplayer shooters yelling at all the teenagers who throw vile words at each other and then act like bffs a minute later? Half this sub clearly doesn’t game at all.

It’s a complicated subject that definitely needs to be addressed, but in the nature of internet commenting, I’m going to comment without listening to the podcast first.
