Here he is, with his evisceration knob set to 5:<br /><br /><i>The bottom line, you nattering little slobberdonkey, is that Ms. Hatch and I are quite simply beyond<br />you meager grasp. You can piss your knickers in indignation all<br />you want, but there it fucking is. You're completely *impotent,*<br />you puling little jerkoff. Can you grasp that? There's not a<br />goddam way in the world that you can hurt me, so you might as well<br />start getting used to the idea, little man. You pint-sized,<br />irrelevant little milquetoast.</i><br /><br />As for Chris Thursten, putting away his hand wringing for a moment:<br /><i>Yet you, the Gamergater, and me, the journalist, can’t have that conversation anymore.</i><br />This 'journalist' would not recognise the nominative case if his own mother dressed up as it, sat on his face and ground away to the beats of the hit band, 'The Nominative Cases', singing "I you he she it we you they'.<br /><br />I can understand that some men, precluded from obtaining feminine company through the traditional means of being confident, humorous, wealthy and in possession of Rohypnol, resort to becoming fauxfags in the hope of attracting a coterie of fauxfaghags.<br /><br />In theory, this sounds sensible - until you realise that you've sacrificed your masculinity on the altar of getting some very evasive, and not very highly prized, poontang.<br /><br />The only masculine company you keep will be fellow fauxfags and the only competition you will have is in out-caring someone who's 'insensitive'.

The problem with games journalism is that it's corrupt and rather contemptuous of its readers and has been for decades.<br /><br />It's why most sensible people gave up on game journalism years ago. I'm more likely to trust the opinion of a programmer that plays games and recommends a game to me, or the reviews on Amazon of a game than those of a game journalist.<br /><br />As it happens, I don't particularly care for barely clothed women in video games. I'd rather have more characters like Glados and Chell from Portal. But there are pretty much no women out there just downloading a copy of Unity 3D or Eclipse and making a successful game. And well, the people who build stuff defines how the world looks. You think there's an unserved market, make the game, get rich.<br /><br />It's what irritates me about feminists in general. They moan about men, but they want men to fix the problem rather than being agents of change. Probably why they all hate Thatcher.Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.com
