This is a serious question:

But apart from the targeted, petty, and personal harassment of some women who dared to intrude on their hobby, what have "Gamers" actually achieved actually achieved in the real world?

Seriously, has any 'Gamer' activism, or campaign, or anythiong along those lines actually done anything, good or bad, of any worth or lasting impact.


Child's Play, which has raised multiple millions of dollars to help sick kids in hospitals was started as a spite campaign because the Penny Arcade guys were pissed at Jack Thompson.

This is the thread for meltdowns, you'd think you'd get more mileage out of the Penny Arcade guys' multiple public diaper fillings over their rape wolves comics or their designated Diversity Zones at their convention or them trying to hire a person to do five jobs at once for minimum wage rather than :jerkbag: about how epic it is to throw money at millionaires to own the guy from 20 years ago who said small children should maybe not be buying R-rated movies.

Always nice when we get a self-sustaining reaction in a mock thread.

Idk, I'm happy to change my behaviour if even a stranger explains why it's lovely. Particularly when it's so little cost to me.

Hey you're supporting randomly harassing strangers because of trivial bullshit. Please stop.

Some white lady putting blonde afro puffs on her animal crossing character affects nobody. It doesn't matter. It may well remind people of stuff that actually affects them, but trans-ethnic animal crossing hairdos have gently caress all to do with e.g. the racist standards of "professionalism" that require black women to straighten their hair for work.
