Gamingcirclejerk has a massive meltdown over the Sweet Baby Inc shit "Noooooooo we're not seething ur seething!!" type shit

Oh neat, we can watch these guys get radicalized in real time.....

It's really interesting (and fricked up) to watch them act like this. I'd argue they're already radicalized (or at the very least in the middle of the pipeline) which is why they're acting like such fricking dinguses.

And you can see why, it's all recruitment for the neo fascists

I blame Peter Thiel!

A lot of them are, yes. There are definitely bad actors among them trying to “pill” the surface level goons further. The majority I expect are of the “it's just about writing in video games” crowd, much in the same way a lot of g*mergate was a “ethics in games journ*lism” crowd, at least at first. Some people will be radicalised further. Going from “writing in video games” to “feminism is a cancer on western civilisation” over the next few weeks. Very sad and very strange to see it happen in real time.

What I find most amusing is that the group admin themself has obviously made it neutral as possible. No statements on why you should dislike Sweet Baby, no hatespeech or political nonsense. Just identifying the games and “not recommended” them. The very model of not showing your power level. But obviously because of the crowd this is aimed at, the horde of fricknuts can't help turning the discussion forum into Stormfront. This is what will likely get the curator nuked in the end. You love to see it. That or the fact that every game they don't recommend is getting brigaded by spurious bad reviews.

It will be interesting to see what the generally neutral Steam does about this. They've got a hategroup on their hands, burgeoning out of their cutator program.

This pipeline rhetoric is a slippery slope most of the time.
