Gangbusters.

Oh hey! Glad to have you back. These past few months have been wild, seeing all these blogs rise from the dead, scrolling through them, and getting all nostalgic over why I followed them in the first place.

I'm glad you're getting some joy out of the whole situation

And btw, you may think it's "Silly" or "Stupid", but given people are indoctrinated by marxist shit in college, without actually knowing it's marxist shit, If that's what it takes I'm going to yell at the top of my lungs so people know - including people who don't care about feminism/social justice/marxism to begin with.

But I like some Marxist theory

To be clear, #gamergate was awful. I'm sure there were people who were trying to do good in it. Hell, I thought I was one of them. But a mob is still a mob and I very much regret participating in one. I should have left when Milo became a figurehead. I should have jumped ship when I roguestar DMed me misogynistic propaganda. I should have left when Carl Benjamin got big. I should have left when theralphretort started attacking my friends for disagreeing with him. I should have left before Trump took office. I should have left when I failed to convince people not to attack Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, Anita Sarkeesian, or any number of women who "offended" GG. I should have left when #notyourshield became the shield of any number of selfish opportunists who would stab them in the back. I should have left when Milo started attacking trans people. I should have left when Breitbart became a "journalist" ally. I should have left when Slate wrote a somewhat favorable article about GG, but said "[...] leave the women alone [...]". There's so many times I should have obviously left, but I didn't because I thought I could make it work.

i dont like getting in to overwatch discourse but i love making fun of blizzard’s inept writing so i’m gonna do it anyway

the way blizzard keeps trying to push omnics in overwatch as an allegory for racism is one of the most poorly handled things i’ve ever seen to the point that it’s almost comedic

the game’s narrative (what little there is) wants you to think people who hate omnics are irrational and hokey and “not with the times,” right. wake up grandma, it’s 2057. that sort of thing.

but blizzard themselves have since done the following:

established that the omnic crisis was like only 20 years ago, so everyone over the age of like 25 has concrete memories of “the time robots almost destroyed the entire planet”

established that the omnic crisis was a global conflict that brought humanity to the brink of extinction, literally every single human alive at the time was affected by it

established that nobody really knows why the omnics stopped attacking, not even the omnics themselves

established in Pharah’s comic that peaceful omnics are very easily hacked by both malicious humans and omnics alike, so literally every omnic has the potential to have their sapience wrested away from them to be turned back in to a mindless killing machine in an instant

put a game mode in the game that takes place during the omnic crisis where you just go ahead and kill as many omnics as you can

like, blizzard have never been good writers, but jesus christ. this is some next-level incompetence. the fact that people are obsessed with the lore in this world and get REALLY in to the nitty-gritty of it astounds me. you take a single step backwards and look at it from a distance and it all falls apart.

like, if you like overwatch, fine, but people write essays as long as their arms about the lore of a world that’s this badly written and i just do not understand it. just play the tf2 game. laugh when d.va says oppa gangnam style. blizzard did not put even a fraction of a fraction of the amount of thought in to the game that some of the fans put in to their fantheories. 

basically what i’m saying, in the least chill way possible, is “chill.”
