The streamer is like a 16 yr old nerdy shit who's stil in highschool btw for background information.

The comments were brought back to attention when he signed a contract with TSM, an org that is very strict on its image and will cut ties with anyone deemed racist/sexist/etc. Earlier they had cut someone from their ow team for paraphrasing "sand n*gger" in a tweet that was mocking someone.

Eventually it was found out that the people campaigning so hard for his removal from TSM were laughing about him in a discord chat and hoped that this would ruin his career and "drive him to suicide". TSM never removed him and he gained support after he revealed that his "enemies" wanted him to kill himself.

Meanwhile, the woman in question is a tank main and was famous back in 2016 when Overwatch had just released. She was accused of hacking because her tracking at Zarya was so weird, so they absolutely believed she was hacking. It got to the point of death threats with two members saying they will "go to her house and slice her throat" for hacking. She was cleared by Blizzard as a genuine player a long time ago, and the men were shamed out of esports in Korea.

(She also said she hates when feminists turn her into a campaign for women's rights in esports, funny enough. She says the harassment had nothing to do with her sex because it was unknown to her attackers anyway. People still sing her tune to this day that she was wrongfully witchhunted for being a woman).

All in all, everyone who plays overwatch has cancer.

This in a nutshell.

Just because I'm a meathead doesn't mean I'm not a feminist.

umm try again sweaty :)

Is there an actual Sonic show with this actual dialogue, or am I just gullible?

I know it's strange, but that's actual dialogue from the show.

Sonic Boom is in general surprisingly good (which is ironic considering how legendarily shit the game was) and really self-aware about itself. It constantly takes jabs at the shitty 3D Sonic games, the character designs and even at the creepy Sonic fanbase.
There's a whole episode in which Sonic gets abducted by a creepy fanboy that forces him to act out his fanfics.

All in all, everyone who plays overwatch vidya game has cancer

im uninstalling. thank you.

I'm not going to say anything about science, but there is some reason why women tend to not be as good at games, and someday we are going to find out.

it's really simple, actually: much lower rates of autism

You joke, but on a serious note, males are more likely to have autism, by a really high ratio

yeah i was actually being semi-serious

Who cares what Ching Chong has to say about women. He's a sexist.

Why stop at video games when they're bad at literally everything.

it took me literally a minute to find this article

Complete and utter retard.
