I'm not going to describe GamerGate here because that's a whole other thing entirely, but David S. Gallant is a notorious SJW game dev who is mostly famous for admitting that he masturbated while thinking about his own twitter harassment and getting reprimanded by a game distribution website when he tried to refuse to give keys for his game to anti-feminist purchasers. Ian Miles Cheung is a former Nazi, then male feminist, and as of like a year ago an alt-right journalist. Gallant got mad at IMC that he flipped (IMC didn't do anything in particular recently, so I think this was probably welling up inside him for a long time and he just posted it now), so he wrote this autistic poem about his anger. I never liked IMC, but I don't like Gallant either, so the best you can do is just laugh at the stupidity of the whole conflict.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
Not even a journalist. Indie "game dev" who put out a really shitty mspaint-tier game (seriously it looks like this) about how much it sucks to work in a call center....which got him fired from his job in a call center.
Then GamerGate was a thing and he's spent the last two years thirstposting for Zoe Quinn's attention, posting pics of his ass on his twitter, and jerking off over GamerGate.
Beautiful response from the very few notes this post has:
if i had spent forty minutes writing a tumblr post about my friend who isn’t woke anymore and it turned out this painfully cringy i would probably just off myself and stop trying

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.

It's just stupid to attack your audience. Strippers may think the guys they're giving lapdances to are losers, but they don't fucking say it.

SOMEONE DID, IN FACT, SAY GAMERGATE!?!?!

Some shit-tier journalist apparently really bent out of shape that another journalist decided to be a different flavour of shit-tier.

Holy fuck what year is it?
Also on rhyming Nazi with IRC - It's creative, but the result is shit. "I arsey".
That's probably not a new scenario for this guy though.
n/a headasplodes 2017-03-01
is this supposed to be serious?
Without this line it would have just been the gayest shit ever but now it's gay AND autistic
