Gamers

Boy I am just so, so surprised.

inb4 a bunch of alt-right manbabies crying about resetera or defending this.

---

Typical gamer bullshit, they can't seem to help themselves.

---

Dunno how someone could threaten someone over a game review and still think they're in the right. Gamers are fucking dumb.
---

Those people aren't gamers, those people are Gamers.

Gamers are the most oppressed group in the history of society

But you don't understand! They gave it a lower score than Rzeczpospolita did, so clearly they didn't even play the game! I happen to know the game deserves at least a 9.5/10 despite never playing it.. They're trying to drag down the metascore to fulfill the SJW agenda!! Fight back!!! /s

---

Between this and asshole gamers causing a woman to have a seizure, they never cease to amaze me.
This going to be gamergate all over again isn't it? The law needs to crack down on shit like this, an example needs to be made of a few gamers.

---

They need to face some consequences for their harassment, or else this cycle will never end

---

They targeted (pronounced tar jey ted) Gamers

---

I don't agree with what the polygon "review" is based on either, but harassing or threatening anyone over anything is 100% unacceptable. I'm incredibly disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.

---

I cannot understand why nerds care if someone doesnt like their toy. So many people need help

NGG/PS4 boards are all celebrating this. I'm not even joking. You had people justifying harassing her for giving a lower score. Saw someone wishing death upon her. =/

Pretty much. Being a woman online is reason enough for many to send death threats

Yeah, I've been in many lobbies with lady friends online and have heard so much uncalled for hate towards them. When did this toxic shit start?

They went for the clicks, they got them. The clicks came in a package with some incels.

This has to be driven by a deep mental disorder. Healthy human beings don't even get an itch to do something like this.

oh no this isn't mental illness, it's people being legitimately shitty human beings

Gamers rise up!

---

Anyone else willing to put money on the guys harassing the writers as having bigger breasts than either of them?

---

This used to be such a nice hobby

Video games were a mistake.

As long as Xbox Live was a thing

What prompted this?

Did the review they did prattle off into an essay about social justice or something?

The one on Polygon had 4 paragraphs talking about trans "issues" before even touching on reviewing the game.

And they didn't think that opinionated far right zoomers were gonna have something to say about that?

Of all the takes, you went for this one.

Again, why do you people act like you have to be an incel or right winger to pull this shit? I've seen worse from people who got angry someone made fanart of a fat character and made it thin.

People are shitty. Regardless is political allegiance or whatever stupid bullshit they're whining about.

There is no duo more iconic than Gamers and incels when a woman has an opinion about Video Games, though

Explain how he's wrong. They laid out the bait, and then act offended when gamers give them a nibble.

"Go home gamer girls!!"

jokes aside, wtf... game looks amazing, ngl but no need to harass people who didnt like it that much.

Well I am a normal and reasonably well adjusted person so I've figured out that a woman having a negative opinion about a video game I want to like doesn't give me license to threaten to fucking rape and kill her

It's literally a recently established PR strategy to find the most unreasonable and unruly members of a fandom/demographic and put them on display to avoid having to respond to any criticism.

It happened with Hearthstone. It happened with Anthem. It happened with Mass Effect. People are mean on Twitter. People are mean on the internet.

Yes, there's always going to be an insolated contingent of people who acts their absolute worst behind the guise of anonymity. I've gotten enough death threats online in my lifetime to know that's the case. But I'm really tired of using these incel losers as a shield from any and all criticism that ANYTHING remotely controversial receives.

It reminds me of Fox News labeling all protesters as rioters. Nah, there's some assholes who make everyone look bad, but that doesn't give you a carte blanche to condemn everyone within that specific demographic. Address the individuals who are unable to operate within the expectations of society, but I'm tired of seeing those schmucks used as an excuse to avoid any and all conversation about a topic.

At best you've been goaded into a response that those who were instigating were looking for. Don't let those ass-mites win by letting them know they've gotten to you. Business as usual is the worst thing you can do to these people.

Just use the block and delete buttons. People get trash online all the time.

we really do need to fight back against the fanboys

maybe a side assault from gamers will fuck em up

---

Glad we have all the 15+ year old alts/stolen accounts here to defend the trash

---

Internet assholes being internet assholes. More news at 11.

This guy trying to dismiss observing a situation with nuance as a, "Both sides" argument.

Oof, Y'got me. You said the magic buzzword and instantly I was vanquished into a sentient pile of grease. Quickly, you must save others from themselves before it's too late.
