Anyone else feel G*mergate 2 right around the corner? :marseysociety2:

I know it usually gets bad during an election year but this feels different.

It's a little over mid-2024 and we've had

>super-grifters like mangalawyer and grummz popping up

>massive diversity-stricken games flopping

>"chud" games like wukong :marseysunwukong: and helldivers :marseysuperearthflag: making bank

>divide between dev and player growing wider

>journos getting uppity

It feels like we're due for a major upheaval.

!g*mers thots?

in order for there to be another G*MERGATE we would need another foid who whores herself out for rewards

Sadly, I feel as if there are no other prominent foids in the gaming sphere who has the same amount of SJW - or, well, "woke" these days - attitude, or with the threatening aura that creates deep-seated fear and rage in the heart of many a wingcucked g*mer than Queen Quinn did these days...lest there is one other case...

Alyssa Mercante and to a lesser extent a few others would love to be the next 'I called all men incel fascist manbabies and now they're telling me to frick off and keep yourself safe, why are they all so misogynist?' superstar. She seems to be the one currently trying the hardest to be Queen Victim.

I think the Sweet Baby/DEI extortion groups are the closest thing to sparking off a second GG, but it's not like most people trust journ*lists in general any more, let alone gaming ones, and the highest profile DEI games have all been somewhere between a flop and an epic flop. The shrill complaints about being a good person will continue, but they've become so generic by now that they're easy to ignore.

Also, from what I see, g*mers felt there was something to lose in terms of good games in 2014, but nowadays they have no expectations of quality, at least from the biggest releases. I think there just aren't the right conditions for anything but an echo of the original.

There was fricking Froskurin but she bitched out and retired.

Well, she already helped sink an entire channel, and is also a rather unattractive lesbian which drives away male feminists because they know she will turn on them in a heartbeat without even the chance for a crumb. She got as high in gaming as she was going to get, and I'm guessing she twigged to that and decided she'd flounce so it looked like her choice rather than fade away.

Diversity hires. Never pick them over an actually qualified candidate.

This is the biggest thing. G*mers in 2014 were unironically shocked by the cronyism and corruption that social media was revealing. But 10 years later there is NO expectation of honesty or quality anymore. Everything that happens in the industry is met with cynicism.

GG was a comming-of-age moment for younger millenial g*mers and Gen Z is way too pre-jaded to have a moment like that.

Yeah journos have less power now. The streamers are way bigger and most of them aren't woke. Asmongold pooping on concord was #1 trending on YouTube gaming when the news broke.

Maybe we've done exhausted all that there is to talk about ethics in vidya and journ*lism and how much vidya gets poll-eye-tick-all (and how much it should be)...to the point of not having anything new to add on (especially since a lot of what was important in the Goobergate debate eventually bled into modern-day politics and never let go, nor ceased in intensity)...

It won't be exhausted, but it's been the same arguments repeated ad infinitum for years now. Changing 'equality' to 'equity' and adding 'DEI' was the last time any of the flavour text in these arguments altered, and that was 2020.

I would also add that a lot of culture war nonsense has been played out to the point that whomever the victim/victim faction is will not get nearly as receptive an audience with publishers as they did the first go around. That and the high profile flops will get them responding to g*mers anyways.

Yeah, GG 2.0 will kick off when there's some obviously corrupt/vile DEI-related grift that surfaces and tribalistic leftoids will feel forced to defend it, if only by just calling anyone who cares an incel nazi or whatever.

They already/still do, but it's just so common now that it doesn't count. When everything is G*mergate, nothing is.

I am very sure woke is actually dying because the generation that grew up with it failed to self actualize resulting in them looking pathetic the older they grow and thus discouraging the next generation to emulate them.

The reason woke went big in the first place is due to the fact that you cannot see the person you are talking to on a text chat so everybody's opinion seems to have some weight.

If the internet was based on only being able to message people with an image attachment of the person speaking, it is very likely the woke ideological movement wouldn't have gotten half as far as it did.
