They attacked gamers.
Gamers.

(I don't remember how the rest of the copypasta goes, because I'm a leftist video game enjoyer and try to distance myself from Gamers®.)

That said this probably won't go anywhere. In the Gamergate days the right wingers kept outright insulting Gamers® and the Gamers® just did some mental gymnastics. Political literacy among Gamers® has gone to even deeper depths since.

What a very weird, sad thing for a very weird, sad person to say.

Anyway, my Saturn crawled so that the Dreamcast could fly.

If you want the anime crowd to hate the republicans, then remind them which party made (and which former vice president helped to author it) the PROTECT Act (the law that put loli/shota into a legally gray area, as it's still subject to the Miller test).

I once heard someone arguing a similar thing back around 2010, and we already thought it was an odd thing to say. Why, yes, grown people do play video games, and certain mechanics are addictive no matter how old you are.

It's just a very dated critique. Like calling someone satanic for collecting Magic Cards or implying they're a loser for spending a summer driving for Uber. Also just very... anti-fun. Same with the "How dare he lead a class trip to visit China!" What high school student body wouldn't have loved to go on a trip like that?

Getting a little addicted to video games is normal, even for men in their 30s. What's not normal is peeing on prostitutes in a bed Obama slept in.

What the hell? Where does this context come from?

Charlie Kirk has a small face. Isn't that weird?

Games are bad, mmmmmk, because they're bad.
