(An anime called "Prison School" included the line "Dumbass Gamergate Creepshows")
If there is such a thing as cultural appropriation, this is what it looks like. #gamergate #PrisonSchool

This isn't cultural appropriation, this is someone calling you out for being a group of despicable weirdos. There isn't a 'gamergate' culture, it's just a collection of jackasses being jackasses with a very very bad excuse.
I love this. This is exactly what I was hoping to see happen to Gamergate. It has entered pop culture as a generic organization of evil like Cobra, THRUSH, MAD, or the KKK.
Dubs adding out-of-place cultural references and changing the meaning of scenes in the process? Is this 2015 or 1999?
Gotta think LocalGamer has a point here, if overblown.
Of course I'll WTF anything that mentions Goobergate; those evil misogynists are worse than ISIS and we should call the cyberpolice on their evil shitlord asses. Wouldn't want to contradict the media narrative, now would we?
And gaming journalists are completely trustworthy. Why, they said so themselves! And their friends did, too!
Not to mention all that evidence of them harassing poor innocent womyn just because they dare to take an intellectual shit on freedom of expression. Look at all those totally not sockpuppet accounts criticiz-- er, harassing Zoe Quinn and countless other brave feminists.
(In regards to the quote, I like the reversal of an SJWism. 8/10, would repost.)
Isn't Gropergrope mercifully dead or something?
@Icesperg
I'm terribly sorry to disrupt your reactionary narrative, but the assertion that the accounts that attacked the so-called "Literally Who's" were sockpuppets (unlike the "Not Your Shield" accounts, many of which were obvious sockpuppets) is unfounded and puts you in the same camp as 9/11 truthers and Holocaust deniers.

Commie's subs of "Girls und Panzer" incorporating what were known as '[i]Aryan[/i] Subs': German words incorporated into the dialogue; even in Gothic fonts.
...oh, and despite '"Panzer Vor" meaning "Panzer Vor"':

There are only three Panzers in this pic. [/hyper-sarcasm] X3
Now pour yourself a cup of tea and relax, Local Lamer .

Long-time enthusiast of id Software & all their id Tech-based games by them & other developers; also avid MAME user & ROM collector. Never been bothered by what Zoe Quinn said, thanks, so why the F4 twisters in the collective underpant gussets of certain lamers ... er, I mean 'gamers', in their 'He-Man Women's Hater Club' pillow fort?
...oh, and Dona Bailey. Your argument is invalid .
@birdboy2000
I agree that fan dub should take more care in how they translate. That being said, somethings don't universally translate. I suspect the original Japanese (having never seen the anime, correct me if I'm wrong) was along the lines of denigrating a NEET or hikikomori. While most in anime fandom would know what that means, dubbers can't assume everyone would get it.
So either they can explain it with more subtitles, which clutters up the scene and makes it harder to read IMHO, or translate it to something more analogous to western culture, despite losing meaning in the process. It's a hard call really.
Honestly, I agree that a lot of what the SJWs say is full of crap, and I even agree that it is ridiculous that parts of the media were willing to slander members of the gaming community.
That said, I do not identify as a Gamergater, partly because I fail to see what some commenters being stupid has to do with ethics. More importantly, many of the individuals of Gamergate are, yes I'm going to say this, sexist. Horribly so. I'm a liberal. I often disagree with stuff my fellow liberals say. And when that happens, I call them out on it, hard. In the Gamergate posts I've read, that..... doesn't happen very often.
Uhhhhh, wha? I don't think you know what "cultural appropriation" is.....
@Goomy pls
Problem is bozos keep digging it's corpse back up.
@Nemo
To be fair, I've been playing online long enough to know that the gaming community does have a lot of scumbags and people with anger management issues in it.
"If there is such a thing as cultural appropriation, this is what it looks like. #gamergate #PrisonSchool"
Scientific creationism is a better example of cultural appropriation. Another is the fundie movie industry. They have their own Oscars awards(distinct from the 'secular Oscars').
Fansub in-joke.
For all that so many GamerGaters cry about people not having enough thick skin, they sure get their jimmies rustled enough when some fansub clowns throw jabs.
And yea, fuck GamerGate ever since it let the cultural conservatives co opt it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
