    Please elaborate how the pedophile in chief is even remotely for gamers or even a gamer himself? Does he even know what a video game is?

      Authoritarians simply have a need to say these things, even if nobody believes it, or if it’s provably untrue. We should try to get Trump and Kim Jong-Un supporters into deciding which one of them is the better golfer.

      Well, remember Gamergate?

      He’s basically perpetuating the exact same homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic views behind Gamergate itself, the behaviour that was more or less equated to “standard gamer behaviour/personality”.

      So in a sense, he’s indeed pro-“gamer”. Key information here is that “gamer” stands for socially regressive, bigoted conservative cunt.

        Yeah he’s pro gamer, but like the type that are why my friend jokingly described it as almost a slur when he got called one. Not as in “well of course i bring my steam deck on a flight”

        Well, Steve Bannon did get his start spamming World of Warcraft gold.

        I had forgotten that but then stumbled across this well done youtube documentary tonigjt about the historical line going from Lowtax starting Something Awful and the coming American Century of Humiliation, it covers a lot of the terrain that highway goes through that I had forgotten or been unaware of.

      He says the gamer word constantly and entirely unprompted. I’ve seen several videos where he just goes off, spouting dozens of slurs about the people he had just met, but his favorite is definitely the n word.

      He doesn’t just reserve it for black people, either. Everyone he dislikes gets the same word at least twice in rapid succession. Once to say it, and another to really pull in some country venom.
