It's especially fun since he's more thorough than most youtube videos, stays level the whole way, and feels like a professional.
In the hit-man kind of way. "No, I'm not upset, I'm just going to pin this right here." Nails to wall with knife.
I think Grummz will never release em-8er. Because that game (even from the small previews we've seen) will be worse than the most failed "woke game". And if the anti-woke boys are chanting Concord today, the adequate audience will mock em-8er at every opportunity many years
I just heard about the Shaun video, and have it open in a second tab to watch in a few minutes. I had no idea it was about Grummz. lol I'm looking forward to it even more now
Finally, r/gamincirclejerk - The Movie. And of course, you look one day not at your YT sub feed and this drops... so I will have fun with that tomorrow. So. Who's next? HBomberGuy? Fredrick Knudsen?
The reason the gaming discussion is important is two-fold. One is that Gamergate was the canary in the coalmine for how we got here. But two is that Grummz and his acolytes are a perfect example of how these reactionaries have sucked the joy out of all discourse related to entertainment products.
I haven't, but of course it isn't new. What is new is that thousands, often millions of them descend on (mostly) YouTube comment sections and sweep all non-toxic voices out to sea in a flood of takes that are basically all the exact same (you will see the same "joke" under every comment).
I don't know if I'd credit all of them with being the equivalent of Bill (pictured), and I had been part of Gamer "culture" before Gamer Gate (Console wars stuff, etc) where it seemed like, for the most part, it was just petty fucking around.
So there are people who can and do escape it at least.
I am finally watching Rings of Power, and it's a solid B+ show that is gorgeous to look at. But every 5 minutes, I find myself saying "oh, I bet the chuds hated this, this and this". They've robbed everyone of the simple act of enjoying things.
Personally I find a certain kind of joy in seeing nice things in the world & knowing those absolute muppets are getting angry over it.
I mean, can you imagine it?
Getting angry over ppl being nice & inclusive? What a miserable life that must be.
You have to feel pity for them, what else could you?

They're stories that are two decades old based on these same extremes of the Fandom back then, and boy.
The dialogue hasn't aged a fucking day listening to the Gamers™

Their rethoric and lies are what's applied in every other type of media and hobbies to radicalized people.
