Identifying as gussy-kin ain't enough these days. /u/snallygaster still needs to get an east asia "surgeon" to gash up that undercarriage (and prevent that wound from healing regularly for the rest of its life - mmm, pus) to get at them juicy oppression points.
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.
It's even in Times New Roman. I have to give them credit, I didn't expect to see it on a website in 2017, but I've still got a permanent association between that font and countless shitty high school English papers.
idk why theyre acting like some cheesy pizza tarnishes the game, if anything it makes it marginally more legit, since otherwise it's entirely an exercise in "im 14 and things google doesnt index are scawwy"

The people involved here probably don't even respect bussy all that much.

Actually this one might be the result of having too much respect for bussy...

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.

This fucking article is written like some undergrad wannabe journalist with a thesaurus and a minimum word count.

That's not Times New Roman, that's Merriweather.

I'm really impressed that you knew that.
1 incineratechicken 2017-10-07
Honestly, had no idea. Good eye. Little autistic, maybe, but still really good.
1 snallygaster 2017-10-07
yeah, it's pretty awful, but there's literally no better report of it.
1 KokomoOReily 2017-10-07
This is actually old as fuck and there are several YouTube videos explaining it
1 GaymasterNacelle 2017-10-07
Nah, it's pretty cool.
1 SperglockHolmes 2017-10-07
The only time I've heard of Sad Satan was from some creepy pasta youtuber who tried way too hard to sound spooky, didn't even know it was a game.
