For anyone reading this, bussy is probably the highest trafficked search term on reddit, and only receives few dickings per week (and definitely not enough to run on cock alone). If you can, you can support the creator on [Bussypay](bussy.club) in order to make sure we have this service for the future.

On 9/5/18 I met my best friend. Nearly 5 months later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Just a reminder that being a father is not about “blood” but about being available with unconditional love and support

Didn’t I tell you guys that they are going to come for the video games?

Kinda glad it’s Fortnite. Cancel that cancer.

What is it ? I see people playing it soo much but how is it any different ?

It's just really, really, really popular with children.

Then ban it damn it ! Get on with it.

This but unironically

Don't they just get fkin wrecked upon landing though? Like some nolifer 15K.D. guy builds the eiffel tower and 1 shots them immediately?

Idk. I've never played it.

they are going to come for the video games?

And👏that's👏a👏good👏thing!

Surprised to we only have achieved full 80's anti-gaming hysteria now.

Fornite makes you a nazi is the leftist pokemon makes you a satanist.

I bet they'll set up a PMRC type group of fo(ids) but this type they'll throw in some non mayos.

didn't Anita Sark-slur did that back in 2015? Post the g-slur-gate?

I genuinely know very little about that incident.

However you might be right and it wouldn't surprise me if she'd done that.

Fornite makes you a nazi

😞 I feel bad that I've read the entire article and have you correct you.

But the author is saying that Fornite provides a place for alt-right to lure young white men into joining the alt-right, and not that Fornite itself makes you alt-right.

Even the thumbnail resembles a horsesh0e 🤔🤔

difference is that the anti-gaming hysteria is justified now.

Yeah that’s what people say in the midst of every moral panic. “Oh it’s different this time.”

The account is called brd4eva, you're feeding a troll.

It was also justified back them, of they had succeed we wouldn't a gam*r problem .

Explain why, please. What makes this different from 20 years ago?

First they tried saying vidya made people violent, and that fell flat. Now they're saying vidya creates nazis. F-slur-ING NAZIS, GET OUTTA MY VIDYA!

MOdss please add Nazi to your ban bot

How long till numbers need to be appended to letters to make sentences legible?

My christian elementary school banned harry potter and the older I get the more I think it was the right thing to do

I'm starting to regret we didn't stop the Simpsons and Family Guy like they wanted as well

Family Guy gets better with age actually.

From day 1 it was extremely unfunny garbage, but if you watch it ironically and laugh at how tryhard it is its one of the funniest shows ever made, and its only gotten more tryhard as the years go by.

FG is weird, it started bad, got decent, got canceled, came back decent and then crashed and burned and it looks like their hull was filled with napalm because it just won't go out

Legit a good analysis.

Things that you cant do

. Walk on water

. Sneeze with your eyes open

. Not laugh at family guy

I've started watching every single Family Guy Funny Moment clip that appears on my YouTube recommendations and they're always an absolute blast.

The Simpsons should’ve ended after season 9.

They should have ended it with the movie and also made the movie a bizarre End of Evangelion style mess.

Bart masturbates next to Lisa's hospital bed

Man this took me way back to when my mom didn't want me to play Runescape once she found out there were wizards and a magic skill.

I'm not convinced that you read the article. That's ok though, just shows it doesn't take you much effort to look this touched

A lot of the time I don't read linked stuff, I just make up something based on the title.

It's even funnier considering the rightoids were the ones using the whole violent videogames makes you shoot up schools not guns narrative and now these leftoid r-slurs have adopted it

They tried to warn us, gamergate was just the start. First they come for your video games, then they come for your cartoons and online forums. Then your liberty. Rise up, gamers!!✊✊

Just don't take my lolis

Too late. It's over for pedoweebs.

GAMERS RISE UP

Floss on them a-rabs 🕺👳🏾‍♂️🕺

Well reddit is the recruitment ground for the alt-left so it evens out.

Being a p[slur] f[slur] isn't any different from the normal left.

Yeah that's why the alt right dominates nearly every subreddit and is constantly pushing racism to wild acclaim

BEEP BOOP BOP NPC COMMENT UPLOADED

the alt right dominates nearly every subreddit

LOOK AT THIS DOOD

Leftoid OUT!!!

Quit browsing weird politically themed bdsm subs ya nimby. We don’t care what your preferences for tops are.

Fasces

include me in the screenshot

what planet are you living on

planet r/chapotraphouse

why don't they die of starvation yet?

How does it feel to be an NPC.

Reddit is so overwhelmingly liberal that I have no fucking idea what planet you live on. How could the alt-right dominate every sub when /r/all is just straight "ORANGE MAN BAD"?

it's a conversation we can have

No, you '''journo''', it's not a conversation, it's your shitty monologue. Yikes! Yikes hard lemonade.

I love how everything is a "conversation", until it actually becomes a conversation, and then it's shut down for being problematic cause y'all can't behave!!!

These people dont want to converse they want others to shut up

It's a conversation when I'm talking. When you talk it's sealioning.

The conversation shall go as such:

Journo: "I would like to talk about Nazis in Fortnite"

World: "Shut up, rēãtærd

Because white men are the world

We are the children

And to think the new Doom is just around the corner. It's like the 90s hysteria never left.

Is Doom cultural Marxist or nazi?

Both!

Nazbol gang

Yes.

Did no one else read the article? The games themselves aren't the problem, its the scum in multiplayer chat

Doom already got shit for making the demon=refugee joke.

It's kinda trippy how the moral panic over videogames has done a political 180

Same with the panic over bad words. And sex. And free speech.

Its almost like it was just a bunch of bored white womn behind all the christian bullshit the whole time.

The difference is that most high school and college students wouldn’t buy into that shit back in the day. Students at my school have literally been protesting to make the school do more to stop underaged drinking!!! The woke crowd thinks that underaged drinking is for privileged whte mn so a bunch of 18-20 year olds are trying to get freedoms taken away from themselves. Really boggles the mind.

bunch of 18-20 year olds are trying to get freedoms taken away from themselves

Drinking underage isn’t a “freedom”.

Okay dry ass nerd this is why you don’t get invited to the parties

Hedonism is a path to nothingness heathen

And PUSSY

Binge drinking is haram sodomite

My college has historically been very lax on kids drinking as long as it’s just beer and no one dies. The younger student body now is trying to change that because they feel left out of parties that people who don’t feel the need to whine about toxic masculinity attend without them.

Holy shit that's awful

literally been protesting to make the school do more to stop underaged drinking!

I uniroincally support the weed ban. These people deserve nothing less.

🤔🤔🤔🤔

It's almost like the ideology in power uses these things to silence dissent.

If your ideology is in power, you support moral policing. When you're out of power, you view it as a shocking attack on free speech. There was actually a study (fittingly enough, it was called the "kill whitey" study) that showed this:

It's not that people have a natural bias toward deontology or a natural bias toward consequentialism. What appears to be happening here is that there's a motivated endorsement of one or the other whenever it's convenient.

Or as Pizarro told me on the phone, “The idea is not that people are or are not utilitarian; it's that they will cite being utilitarian when it behooves them. People are aren’t using these principles and then applying them. They arrive at a judgment and seek a principle.”

TLDR people will take the position that best advances their agenda, then come up with a moral justification retroactively.

Especially considering a lot of video games are now nauseatingly "woke" compared to back in the day where most protagonists were white meatheads who fucked blonde bitches

Yeah but we also have to pretend that every game featuring a black person was a huge disaster and celebrate its apocalypse as the final trumping against the evil forces of Anita Sarkeesian.

Pretend?

What games?

Especially considering a lot of video games are now nauseatingly "woke

How exactly? Lol.

You cant change my mind

You can't change that which does not exist.

Pick up Wolfenstein II. It may have been written by irbytremor.

That name's a blast from the past.

Best hits from this sub

Tipper Gore?

Tipper Gore is the former wife of the former Vice President Al Gore. Tipper campaigned relentlessly in the early 1990's about violence and bad words in music lyrics. As a result of her efforts, CDs and video games now, have warning labels about explicit content.

Tipper's brave struggle to let us all know that people say mean things sometimes is immortalized in the song "Startin' Up a Posse by Anthrax.

The Fortnite page on common sense media is pretty hilarious. Most of the parent reviews reminded me of Tipper Gore.

These left wing nut job broads have been doing this since Tipper Gore in the 80s. But they know they can't go after "rap music" now because they'll get called racist.

no big stupid it was republicans bbbbrap:::sniffffffff

DAE all the Dixiecrats totally didn't become Republicans?

Im a right center libertarian with marxist sympathies. cope harder figgit

right center libertarian with marxist sympathies

Collective ownership of the child sex slaves?

Get out of here with that shit.

also, NAP is for pussy cowards.

You might want to check in with your socdems if youre really interested.

Tipper Gore was not a left wing nut job. Gore and Clinton did more to destroy the left in this country than the right ever could have in their wildest dreams.

tfw when left wing nutjobs aren't left wing enough for you anymore

They only support corporations and finished Reagan’s mission of destroying unions. Yea, they’re right wingers that believe in abortion.

How does that explain how far left the left is today?

Who are you talking about, and what makes them far left?

Oh you're gonna pull that routine. Forget it.

No, you implied the Clintons are far left. I need to know what you think is far left in order to respond, but go ahead and run it’s ok.

No I didn't. I called Tipper Gore a leftwing nutjob, because she is.

Then an even farther leftwing nutjob comes in and says she wasn't even left wing.

Try reading when you're not busy sealioning.

What was left wing nut job about Tipper Gore? The PMRC was bipartisan, and she’s fiscally conservative. You made the claim show the fucking proof.

tfw you're such a smooth brained chapotard

Answer the question. Rtard

What are your preferred gender pronouns?

Why are you ducking the question? You can call me daddy tho.

Don't you have any dogwhistling about killing all the Jews, I mean landlords, to get to?

Looks like another conservatard OWNED by FACTS and LOGIC

We're not going to get anywhere going back and forth like this until you tell me when you came out as trans.

That’s so cute you think you’re people

Was it before or after your birth dad left the home?

All this projection, do you need someone to talk to?

Ok, so after.

How many step-dads were you up to when you came out? Double digits?

Do you know what projection is? I hear some of us left wing nut jobs want free healthcare. Maybe you could get a therapist.

Why are you dodging the question? What are you gender pronouns?

You know how I know you’re a virgin?

Are you trying to hint that you identify as a man?

You’re a sharp one

So does that mean you're post-op?

Again, you know how I know you’re a virgin?

I dunno...because sexual predators can sense it? Why?

It’s you’re obsession with finding my gender. That’s a bad look, buddy. You’ll never find anyone willing to get even somewhat close to you with that attitude. You never did answer my question. Oh well, have a great day you virgin, right wing nutjob.

Dude N U T lmao

MFW a chapotard tries to tell someone else they're insane.

Rygell4 is a rightwing nutjob. I said it so it’s true, don’t ask me for proof.

I am a whte gy male that has been gaming since I was 10 years old. I can attest to the content of this article, because I grew up in the environment described. I partook in the trolling and baiting described in this article constantly for years.

Throwing around racial and homophobic slurs, mostly. For years I saw nothing wrong with it; after all, I "didn't really mean it." It was "just a prank, bro," etc., etc. But then I found myself caring less and less about "not really meaning it." After all, it's just a word. Why are you so offended by a word?

And then I found myself resenting people that would tell me that I shouldn't say those things. And then I got into chat rooms and commiserated with other young idiots that were also being told that they shouldn't say those things. And for a while, I was convinced that the people that kept telling me I shouldn't say the n-slur were trying to "eliminate my free speech." It got pretty dark, honestly.

Fortunately, I stumbled into a different community--almost purely by coincidence. The Leftist community on Youtube (ContraPoints, PhilosophyTube, Three Arrows, etc) is warm, welcoming, and articulate. I learned that the arguments that had surrounded me were garbage. This is about much more than "not saying the n-slur," or "not posting edgy memes." This is about preventing people from taking "it's just a prank bro" a few steps too far.

No, Jordan Memerson is one of those people who are very good at sounding smart, but in fact really have no idea what they are talking about. He uses his knowledge in applied psychology in an intellectually dishonest manner to make himself seem more knowledgeable than he actually is with other forms of academic discourse. For example, various experts in law have spoke out and said that his interpretation of Bill C-16 is completely false, yet so many people believe his completely unfounded claim that anti-trans discrimination laws will suppress freedom of speech and cause people to be arrested for using the wrong pronouns, something that is absolutely absurd because it a) never happened and b) never will happen because legal experts have said that his take on it is completely wrong. Yet so many people believe the misinformation he is purposefully spreading about trans people, and causing the public to oppose laws that protect trans people from discrimination.

This is just one example- he also falsely poses himself as somebody who is knowledgeable in evolutionary biology, which he is not because his interpretations of how lobsters are an example of patriarchal, capitalist societies being an inherent part of the "natural world" and thus "natural" to humans are not only scientifically not sound, but also absolutely fucking absurd. He makes all these absurd comparisons and implications on purpose, because then when someone points out how absurd it is, him and his followers are quick to say "that's not what I meant!" and make it seem like you are the one making these absurd leaps in logic- almost like a form of intellectual gaslighting.

Wait, my cousin was playing fortnite in my house yesterday, is that why I hate black people???

It's fascinating how basically every tasks that causes someone to try to improve makes them increasingly less progressive.

Ah yes, video games, that well-known stimulus to self-improvement

Never said self-improvement.

Ok, that’s true you didn’t. Although I sure don’t know how getting better at Mario Kart makes you less progressive

And yet as a scholar who studies video game culture, I do want to talk about gaming.

lmao

That was my tap-out moment, too.

And yet as an historian who studies hentai...

What's wrong with this? Internet Historian did a whole voiceover of an eromanga, after all.

Gotta get to the bottom of what it truly means to take a swig of mountain dew after chainsawing aliens and then teabagging the giblets.

Ok shitlord she played Yoshi's story once when she was 5 she knows video game culture ok? Believe wxmen.

What an r-word(past tense) article. It’s like they aren’t even trying to trigger anymore. Just lazy 😔

Lmao if you don't think this article is going to trigger a whole bunch of people you haven't been on the internet the last few years.

If it doesn’t trigger me, it doesn’t count 😤

I dont even need to read the article the title of the post is already too funny

Have another funny one: 'And yet as a scholar who studies video game culture, I do want to talk about gaming.'

Could really be a troll when it wasnt nyt

imagine paying for your 19 year old sperm to "study video game culture" and come up with shit like From Fortnite to Alt Right.

ultra sad.

Newspapers need to stop published retarded hot takes from millennials and zoomers if they want to be taken seriously again.

What an incoherent article.

She says that horrible "young white men" are more likely to become neo-Nazis because of P.C. efforts to control video games.

She suggests as a solution... more P.C. efforts to control video games.

Incels and video-games, got a better duo?

Pedos and anime

I can't believe how inept these people are( I mean I can believe it). All they seemingly want to do is listen to themselves talk, more than anything. I got one paragraph in already their whole premise is fucking r-slur'd. White supremacists need to recruit white males, white males play video games, people can talk to white males on video games.

So what, ban chat and voice comms in online games? If a gaming company let a persona non grata talk to a "disaffected" white male, we do what exactly? Fine the gaming company?

This NPC complains about them making an Us vs Them mentality, but thats exactly what this article is doing because I want nothing to do whatever these self-important drones have going on.

Whats really black pilling is reading older 19th or early 20th century magazines with hot takes from people literally bitching about npcs and how retarded democracy for all the masses is (aka giving votes to the working industrialuzed peasanfs who arent smart enough nor educated enough to make coherent decisions for their state/country)

yet as a scholar who studies video game culture

Holy Frick guys she's the real deal

Man I really don't get how people can say "NO!!!! HE WASN'T SERIOUS ABOUT FORTNITE (and that other dork game) INTRODUCING HIM TO WHITE SUPREMACY!!!" and then say "YEAH! PDP IS TOTALLY TO BLAME FOR THIS!".

It's like, peak 2019 hypocrisy.

Yup mayogamercide now

For real though Fortnite needs to be banned.

She actually is the author of the critically acclaimed book:

Gaming Masculinity: Trolls, Fake Geeks, and the Gendered Battle for Online Culture

So have a little bit respect for her, okay? 😤

The first paragraph was okay, but when she started arguing that ethnonationalists go to video games to spread their ideology it became retarded. Video games and online anonymity promote edginess, it's a simple as that. 90% of gamers who say the n word aren't fascist nazis, just edgy teens-young adults wanting a few chuckles over a cultural taboo

Postscript: Erik Kain, one of the few sane people in games media, has written a response: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2019/03/28/from-fortnite-to-alt-right-rhymes-i-guess-but-does-it-mean-anything/#76c0c48a43ab

I honestly can't believe we still allow white men to communicate with each other at all. It's 2019 for crying out loud!

When you encounter the chapo-cels and adjacent neolibs in the discourse its also very entertaining how after many they are still butthurt by gamergate

I feel like this is one of those intro to writing papers where you have to write about something you don't know about as if you're the expert on it.
