indigenous woman who is also a vidya designer, on the "indigenous" section on CBC:
Neighbor why are "indigenous" and "aboriginal" activist foids always like the Whitest motherlovers on the planet?
When the video game Custer's Revenge first came out more than 30 years ago, a successful boycott eventually caused it to be pulled from store shelves The controversial video game, made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique (now defunct), depicts indigenous women tied to trees and cacti and r*ped.
When indigenous game designer Elizabeth LaPensée found out this game was again available for play online she took to Twitter to voice her outrage.
"The game reinforces systemic violence against native women," said LaPensée.
Daniel Starkey, a Chickashsha Nation game journ*list, was researching a story about Native American representation in games when he came across YouTube videos of Custer's Revenge. Starkey spoke with LaPensée about his find. The two of them were able to find several game-play footage videos on YouTube, but it wasn't until Starkey dug deeper that he actually found a playable link to a remade version of the game.
"I'm not in a position to go to that link, download it and play it. I don't know how far back that would put me in my personal healing," said LaPenśee from her home in Oregon. But Starkey did download the game to prove that it can be played.
"[It] made me sick to my stomach and brought me to tears," said Starkey. "I respect its right to exist, but it's almost impossible for me to figure out how anyone could consider the game of cultural value to anyone."
B-WORD THIS IS A FRICKING ATARI GAME FROM 1982

IT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTED WHEN IT CAME OUT
THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT DOESN'T EXISTS ANYMORE
THE DEVS WHO CREATED IT ARE IN THEIR 70S OR 80S IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE
ARE YOU GONNA CALL FOR THE BOYCOTT OF SALÒ AND ERASERHEAD NEXT?
LaPensée is a former game journ*list turned game designer. Until now, LaPensée had not spoken out against violence against women in video games. The gaming industry has come under fire for its sexual harassment against women and female game designers and journ*lists have had their safety and lives threatened.
LaPensée said she has stayed quiet for this very reason.
"If anyone were to attack me in that way, I just don't have the allies in the game industry who would help protect me and look out for me, I have the native community too," said LaPensée.
For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic.
- Elizabeth LaPensée, video game designer
LaPensée, who designs games that promote indigenous heritage and healing, said her decision to speak out now is based on her career's work.
"This has been my whole life's work, starting off as a g*mer and then looking at native representation in video games. And finding the places that we can step up, and step in and define our representations ourselves," said LaPensée.
"For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic."
In the last 24 hours, since LaPensée`s initial tweet and the follow-up Twitter conversation, several videos of game-play footage have been taken down. Starkey added the footage violates YouTube's terms of service by containing explicit content and uncensored nudity.
LaPensée said that even though a game like this exists, the indigenous community can change the narrative by replacing the content with positive messages.
"We can make games too. We're completely capable of it. The cowtools are much more accessible, the technology is much more accessible than it used to be," said LaPensée, adding a lot of her work is responding to a game like this.
Holy fricking shit, imagine sperging out about a game that was 31 years old (now 41) by the time this article was written, this is even more pathetic than the Brapzilian Pentecostal TV channel in 2011 sperging out against Duke Nukem 3D , this is like if Jack Thompson came back from the shadows and started to shit on Doom and Doom 2 30 years later

South Africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. The South African government has not confiscated any land.

The recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal…

Beyoncé won the Grammy for the best country album.

Even she knows it's rigged pic.twitter.com/NzncvWTal2
There’s no way Beyoncé deserved to win a Grammy for Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”. It’s not even good! She only won because she’s a black woman and the Grammys are woke af. This was a DEI award. pic.twitter.com/7FVMZg6R40
— Right Winged Angel (@RightWngdAngel) February 3, 2025
Beyonce can shut the frick up now. You see the win for #GRAMMYs and she's NOT country. That's fricking dog shit music. And you know that they paid for that best of country album. Wonder how much Jay Z paid the academy to get that shit for her?
— Danny 🇺🇸🏒⚾️🐈✝️ (@HawkeyeRoad) February 3, 2025

I don't care about Beyonce or country music and have never listened to a second of this album, but I think it's pretty obvious this is how Kamala can still win.

And in my heart there is COOM.
I am a HEDONIST. ALL IS NOTHING COMPARED TO MY GLORIOUS COOM.
If cooming has billions of fans (it does), then I am one of them. If there are only ten coomers, then I am one of them. If there is but one coomer, then that is me. If there are no coomers, then that means I am no longer on Earth. If the world is against cooming, then I am against the world.
If think about it, cumming is literally the PERFECT hobby. You don't need anybody else to do it. You don't need any "thing" else. You don't even need your clothes. It's just you and your body and coom. It's like a connection with god. Maximalism through minimalism, or vice versa.
I coom to genocides and abuse neighbor I desecrate the sacred. I blaspheme and spit when I coom then I coom some more. I'm an untrollable maniac if we're talking about the C*M scale hard peepee BBC porn human trafficking nigguh I corrupt the next generation by spreading drugs and STDs all around them.
You don't know what's made me coom so don't try me. This new generation of coomers annoy me. My generation is the one of true SOULFUL gooning. Everything else is just an imitation. Real shit, you think it would be a good business to open up a longue where I don't sell any drugs or alcohol, just provide calm music, chilled water, and a table where distinguished folks can talk about the finer aspects of gooning. What stroke you use, what new kink you've developed, if you're sick of one kink just keep GOONING until a new fetish lights your fire. TRUST THE PROCESS.
And you'll have some of the most amazing cooms imaginable
And to the admins of this shithole site: Yes this is an effortpost because you best believe I was gooning HARD when I wrote this. Headset on, "open video in smaller tab" shit nigguh I took my fricking shirt and pants off for this shit, we don't take half measures when it comes to gooning. I'm trying to start a C*M gang, you interested in signing up?
I GOON when reading the Bible
I GOON when I'm eating
I GOON when I'm on the phone
I GOON whenever I have even a vague sexual thought or my hand happens to brush upon my peepee. That's enough to derail my entire day with just coom. As you can imagine, it gets hard to deal with all the laundry when you COOM so much but I've learned to just keep a lot of towels lying around the house. Goon and wipe yourself as you see fit.
By the end of my reign, you'll be calling me Satan's Nightmare.
