I am making a reasonable assumption based on public behavior. There is nothing about what he said or how he said it that would leave me to believe that was not the case.

Speaking as someone who was also formerly an awkward girl as a teen, no one wanted to date me either. But they never think of that.

Also, way less of the cool kids were actually getting down and dirty with it than you thought.

Count me in on that sweet sweet censorship.

I still want to smack Kojima upside the head with a keyboard for even conceiving of such a character. And then having the brass balls to try to spin this as “not completely gross in every way”.

I am, I absolutely am for that “nice censorship”.

If this shithead stood on a crowded street corner screaming about all the “whores” who he thought were taking money out of his pockets, he’d be arrested. I don’t see why behavior that’s punishable in our actual lives is ignored and even encouraged when it’s done online.

Fuck this guy. He’s another dude who thinks he’s entitled to controlling some sort of behavior from women. He also strummed that common “girls are mean sluts and don’t want me and reject me” bullshit. Maybe they reject you cause you’re a ragey, angry, whiny, entitled, asshole who sees women as something less.

Also women are also bullied in high school! And ignored by boys (which hurts when we swing that way)! And struggle with anxiety/depression! For me personally, as a woman the most insulting part of all in philosophies like this dude’s is that they assume I literally don’t exist - I’m used to being objectified and…

Also what is with these losers calling people who won’t sleep with them “sluts”?

So as a cisgendered, hetero male I have decided I want to watch someone play a video game. My options are.... a cute woman who plays a game I like or an angry, loud man child who plays a game I like. Hmmmmmm. I’m going to need to think about this for a bit.

There is something horribly ironic about a gamer culture that demands titillating fictional women IN games, but our right rejects titillating real women PLAYING games.

Last year I tried streaming for a month, and I used a camera. The fact that I lasted a month tell you all you need to know about the kind of behavior on the part of my viewers. Everything I’ve experienced IRL or even just using voice chat in games utterly pales in comparison.

Don’t you know?

Black Hat Guy, the hero we deserve, and the hero we need, but sadly, not the hero we have...

I’m confused. If they’re sluts, doesn’t that mean they don’t reject anybody?

“This used to be a god damn community of gamers, nerds, kids that got bullied, kids that got fucked with, kids that resorted to the gaming world because the real world was too fucking hard, too shitty, too lonely, too sad and depressing,”

I had to stop myself from laughing out loud in a public place when I read that line. It’s absolute gold.

“This used to be a god damn community of gamers, nerds, kids that got bullied, kids that got fucked with, kids that resorted to the gaming world because the real world was too fucking hard, too shitty, too lonely, too sad and depressing. the same sluts that rejected us, the same sluts that chose the god damn cool…

...the same sluts that rejected us, the same sluts that chose the god damn cool kids over us...

“The same sluts that rejected us, the same sluts that chose the god damn cool kids over us.”
