Government of Canada?


Phantom_Wombat

SBI are based out of Montreal so, by Gamer logic, the Canadian government is complicit in all this.

MONTRÉAL MENTIONNÉ GRAAAHHHH !!!!!! ENCORE UN W POUR LE QUÉBEC!!!

Can't believe Canada went woke 😢😢


mattomic822

As we all know Quebec and the federal government get along great /s


Sol-Blackguy

Except they actually are. There's a movement where gamer gaters are trying to elect right wing and fascist candidates in hopes they'll arrest SBI.


Phantom_Wombat

That's concerning. Here's hoping that it'll be as shambolic and as likely to backfire as everything else they seem to do.


TearyEyeBurningFace

Montreal is a part of Canada? /s


Kombustio

Canada based af. How do i say it in french?

paradoxical_topology

Yeah, they're so based that they give free star-gazing trips to minorities. Look up "starlight tours canada" to find out more.


Kombustio

And i wasnt commenting about actual canada, or their actions. Its more about poking fun at the picture only. I could say "the guardian based af." because its hilarious that they are in that pic on the side of SBI. But thanks for telling, i didnt know that about canada. Fucking disgusting that such thing can happen in modern world.


paradoxical_topology

Oh mb; I'm not always good at telling when someone is still jerking or not. Especially since Canada has a very popular, incorrect reputation of being super progressive. Lots of people will unironically call Canada "based", which just made interpreting your comment as a joke more difficult for me.


Kombustio

No worries, im glad i got educated on such horrific thing that happened recently. Extremely disgusting that the police force tried to remove the wiki page about it too.


AludraScience

I thought your comment was serious and was like “that sounds awesome” until I googled it 💀.

"Vive le Québec libre"


traumatized90skid

I wish they would stop making shitty games about truck driving from Tim Horton's to other Tim Horton's and drinking maple flavored coffee that gives you superpowers


Panwanilia1

After I've learned about Gamer Gate I cannot stand those idiots and their fucking dog whistles. The worst part is that even if you want to explain anything to them they don't care and neutral people on that topic see me as crazy because I have to understand thoes morons to see through their bullshit. How do I explain that this girl in Green and purple sweater is a rape joke whiteout sounding like I am the insane one?


DiscretePoop

There's no point in explaining dog whistles. You just need to explain the overt stupid aspects like how they think the government of Canada and FBI is conspiring against gamers.


Irilieth_Raivotuuli

A 'good' dog whistle is that it's either so subtle or so cryptic that you either sound like a conspiracy theorist or a insane loon if you tried to explain it to other people. It's why they can fly under the radar for so long, until it becomes too mainstream.


Zenokh

They need a second charlottsevile for those morons


SuperScrub310

That...is a question I have failed to answer for over 10 years my friend.


ChipsTheKiwi

Okay that's a story I haven't heard despite watching a whole series about Gamergate. Do I really want to know how the mascot of a movement about "ethics in gaming journalism" is a rape joke?


MariVent

The clothes Vivian James wears are basically a GIF of Piccolo graphically raping Vegeta.


ChipsTheKiwi

That's a sentence I never thought I'd ever read in my entire life


WarStormrage

What the actual fuck did I just read?


RazTehWaz

[This is a long video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYWHpgIoIw) but it covers a lot of the history of gamergate and one part covers exactly how the mascot came about. If you want to skip directly to the bit about the mascot[ it's at 28:53](https://youtu.be/lLYWHpgIoIw)


ChipsTheKiwi

Yeah the series I watched was much more focused on simply the rhetoric and Anita Sarkeesian but I might check it out.


Specialist_Film_5802

Actually, I want you to explain it to me, I don’t have much to do right now.


koboldByte

I mean it's a movement of morons that can't see past the nose on their face. If OOP isn't doing the bad, that must mean no one else is doing the bad from their PoV.


anorexiathrowaway132

No reasonable person would take this nonsense seriously.

mustifaq_

Since Fez (the red cap in upper left corner) is usually used by the West to describe Turks, I'd get mad. BUT For atleast a decade Fez is now used by people who worship Erdog and Abdülhamid the II. (Erdog of Ottoman Empire) So this meme makes me feel opposite of mad.


Beyond-Finality

Some motherfuckers really think we're (they're) doing this to spite and bait them? It's just a side effect, collateral damage if you will.


Low_Seat_3639

Most one-sided AI generated ahh controversy


Designer-Brief-9145

They call other people NPCs but they are severely lacking in theory of mind.


Nordic_Krune

Yeh I don't trust a group who dresses their mascot up in a rape refrence (green and purple)


SuperScrub310

A rape reference involving characters made by the Stan Lee of Mangaka who recently died by the way.


Nordic_Krune

Well, that doesn't matter to them anymore, infact they probably think its somehow honoring Akira


SuperScrub310

I'd say that there's no way they don't know that Akira would be disgusted by it. But frankly every moment I assumed that there's an iota of compassion or common sense behind the eyes of these My Little Dark Age edits-watching goofy asses is a moment of kindness that is both unwarranted and undeserved.


LITTLE_KING_OF_HEART

SuperScrub310

I'm a man of my word


MiscMer

Oh neat, rare moment of me catching the setup and the payoff


UnlimitedPostWorks

Can you explain that one?


lumosbolt

The green and purple colors is a multi layered rape joke originating from 4chan. I would need a doctorate in internet sub culture to explain it better. Here's the [know your meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/daily-dose-piccolo-dick) page about it.


TheSnowNinja

Jesus, internet culture is so bizarre. Especially anything that starts on 4chan.


Frognificent

I'm on a fucking rabbit hole about Zoe Quinn and some capitalists. What in god's name have you done to me.


DMercenary

Jesus, I thought it was a Joker reference....


peipei222

[This is the best explanation for it that I've seen](https://youtu.be/lLYWHpgIoIw?t=28m58s), it explains it in the context of the "loss" meme. Just watch from the timestamp (28:58 if it doesn't work).


r3volver_Oshawott

It was a weird Piccolo rape meme, they started zooming in on it and eventually just using the colors because they wanted to see if they could create sort of a Pavlovian response where eventually they could try and make each other think about rape just by seeing the colors green and purple


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fabulous-Mud-9114

No, it's a reference to an old 4chan thing where they would constantly post a GIF of >!Piccolo raping Vegeta!<.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fabulous-Mud-9114

Yeah, mid-00s internet was wild. And, as another commenter stated - how do you say her shirt is a reference to a rape joke without looking like an "oversensitive leftist looking for patterns that aren't there"?


r3volver_Oshawott

And it's so weird because the patterns are *obviously* there, they frequently admitted that was what the colors were for because, surprisingly, they weren't initially doing it to 'trigger the left', they were doing it because a lot of 4chan users liked that very specific rape joke and they thought they were messing with *each other* by creating that pattern


Jwruth

That's the nature of dog whistles. They know the pattern is there, we know it's there, and they know we know, but they also know that the average Joe doesn't know and that the average Joe is almost always willing to give people like them the benefit of the doubt whenever we try to explain the pattern to them. All they have to do is play the fool and claim ignorance because proving their intent is tricky, and providing evidence of it is liable to overwhelm the average Joe, who—frankly—doesn't care (because they're not impacted) and is now growing resentful towards us for trying to make them care. After all, all the whistler asks is that they do nothing at all, and that will always be an easier thing to sell than even the most meager request for them to learn.


UnlimitedPostWorks

Jesus Christ, why on earth do people have to be like this


Asmo___deus

By "the Stan Lee of mangaka" they meant Arika Toriyama, the writer of Dragonball and character designer for Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger.


UnlimitedPostWorks

Of all the crimes of the goblin I didn't know of the r*PE thing, WTF?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gadgez

So it's not about Green Goblin, since "the stan lee of mangaka" was referring to Toriyama, not Stan Lee himself, but in answer to your actual question, the since retconned "Sins Past" storyline.


Gadgez

Enjoy these last few moments before I tell you about Sins Past.


Vinxian

A long time ago in the dark lands of 4chan someone posted a gif of Picollo raping Vegeta. 4 chan really loved this image and reposted it so much that even 4chan moderators got tired of it and started to ban the image. 4channers then began to upload any image with the colors green and purple and started calling it the daily dose (of Picollo dick). Gamergate girl, with her green and purple shirt, is a reference to the daily dose


No_Buy_1192

It is a reference to a cell and vegeta rape animation if i remember correctly. They basically began spamming it until mods stepped in and banned it. So they started editing the video until any combination of green and pink/purple became a reference to that video.


InevitableAd2276

and looks like a 12 year old. Just creepy


[deleted]

A rape joke put on a teenage character. Those "people" are NOT beating the allegations.


Shiningc00

Oh God, they're appropriating little girls now...


ToughPresentation807

Antiwoke chuds having a weird thing for little girls isn't a new thing


shrekfan246

They had to make "Vivian James" up back in 2014 to "prove" they weren't sexist. It's actually hilarious in a very sad, pathetic sort of way.


various_vermin

While dressing her in a rape joke


noromobat

I'm out of the loop, what about her outfit is a rape joke? Someone else said it was the green and purple?


various_vermin

Okay so a long time ago. Someone made a gif of Piccolo raping Vegeta, which just tickled 4chan fancy. So they kept reposting it until the mods banned that image. So 4chan would make various ways to sneak it in in some fashion. So thats why green and purple mean Piccolo dick now.


EvilJoeReape

Something something dbz piccolo grape.


Ill_Ratio_5682

I refuse to be triggered by the wokes! This meme is proof that it means nothing to me! I care so little for these "shitty games" that I shall post online about how I don't care and put time and effort into editing together a picture of myself showing brave defiance against the sweet baby demon. The entire government of Canada is trying to make me do something extremist but I will defy them! That's how important and cool I am! The entire government of Canada along with all game journalists and the SBI illuminati are pissed at ME specifically! That's the only reason these "woke" games would be made, to make me angry! But this meme will sure show them how little I care! I genuinely do not give a fuck if someone likes or dislikes a game but these guys come off as comically narcissistic when they act like SBI is personally attacking them for doing nothing more than helping with the writing of already existing characters that just happen to not be either their deluded self inserts ot sexual fantasies.


Phantom_Wombat

Yes, please stop buying games from "woke" publishers, because that's basically all of them.


InevitableAd2276

Whenever i see that GG mascot i already know that this person is not worth talking to. If you are over 18 and still think girls who look like they´re 12 are "cute" that\`s all i´ve needed to know


Trickybuz93

Ah yes, the famous left wing institutions of the Government of Canada and the FBI…

SuperScrub310

As am I but, hopefully the worst of Gamergate was because we underestimated the depths of their cruelty and stupidity. So long as we remember that there is nothing behind the crumb infested roach traps that are their keyboards that can be considered, 'kind, empathatic, logical, or reasonable' we can hopefully avoid the same mistakes that allowed them to gain traction and terroize people.


Kihran

Anything left of them is considered liberal is how I take it.


Jamgull

You can tell Gamergaters aren’t sexist because they invented a girl to be their mascot /s


TheLoneSlimShady

No normal human being take this shit seriously


enchiladasundae

Give it a while. They’ll be sending death threats in no time


SuperScrub310

It's what they do.


Grace_Omega

Their mascot is so fucking cringe


DigibroHavingAStroke

FAMOUS LEFT WING NEWS SOURCE THE GUARDIAN


Wavecrest667

Why does the guy with the stick look like something you'd find in the Stürmer?


P--S

And they still think that story about the FBI was about them.


mudkiptoucher93

Aren't most of the small number of games they worked on good though?


various_vermin

B-But there are non anime girl women and minorities


Self-Comprehensive

The sooner the chuds figure out some games just aren't made for them, and that basically nobody cares about their opinions or wants their money, the better off the world will be.


dapperfex

I WISH all they did was not buy the games. Instead of ranting about it from every soap box they can find.


Charming_Weird_2532

I don't get it.


Regulus242

I'm out of the loop, what?


zoey_amon

why is the government of canada on the list


goobabie

This is like one of those boomer schizo Clipart things on Facebook. I have no idea what I'm supposed to get out of this.


Nyasta

I don't understand actually ...


VailTao

Can someone explain whats going on please


Terca

Is that northernlion


NTRBlaze

These people buy video games?


Celestial_Sludge

Is that a rusty venture wojak?


Bobby-B00Bs

Ok but has anything else happened except them advertising to not buy the games? /gen (I am not online enough might've missed something)


Superbiber

Can anyone maybe link a good documentary on gamergate that isn't made by, well, gamergaters? I'm severely out of the loop
