This guy texted me around the time Feminist Frequency shutdown all proud and thought I would be happy as well. He was really confused that I just didn't care. I'm not a fan of Anita Sarkeesian, but she's not really involved in any of the games I want to play. It was such a none issue for me.

I try to steer the conversation to games I think are fun, but he just wants to complain about a subcuture he's not even a part of. Like, just play a fucking game instead of having these talking heads pump culture war bs into your ears constantly.

On the flip site, the biggest proponents of Sarkeesian I know irl also don't play video games and the few times I brought up video game thing, I was met with disinterest. Twitter really has rotted people's brains.

I have no idea how that site even still exists. I'm convinced Elong has been genuinely trying to kill it, but it's so cursed that shambles along like those movie zombies that shouldn't even be able to move.
