The long wait is over! #GamerGate Bingo is here! Well, here, actually. Go there for your very own randomly generated bingo card, and get playing!
Also, I can edit the list of phrases that’s being used to make the cards, so if you have ideas for new phrases, or you want to improve the wording of one that’s already there, or you think one of them should be removed for being redundant or too obscure or too obvious or whatever, let me know in the comments!
MRA and PUA/Red Pill Bingo are coming soon!
Nicely done. Have you been eavesdropping on emails between me and my delusional teenager? He’s very fond of the “watch this 12 hour YouTube video” mode of argument.
*Bracing for cries of “online bingo is not a REAL game!” Because REAL Games, as we all know, involve macho protags, jiggly boobies, and lots and lots of bang-bang guns.
Is that toaster one of the fabulous prizes we wimmenz could be awarded if we win #GamerGate Bingo?
Great job, David! Thanks.
Can’t wait till the ‘classic’ MRA Edition is out though – I could really use one literally two days ago.
Wohoo! #NotAllGamergaters!
I really hope I get that bingo square each post. It’s my favourite.
The cracked.com is a feminazi front may be my favorite square.
I’ll just leave this here…

Well, would you look at that…

@Tiziana
Why?
@David:
Nooo, not bingo! One of the manliest hobbies ever, right between bending steel bars with your bare hands and playing videogames!
Seriously though, great work.
@Tiziana:
Thanks for sharing. Goes to show that GamerGate defenders not only lack arguments and self-awareness, but a sense of humor as well.
One of the “pro-GamerGate” bingo squares is “blocked.”
Because someone refusing to be talked at by a gamerbro is the worst discrimination evah!
I think it’s pretty telling how many of the anti-feminist GamerGate bingo squares are totally subjective, like, “whine whine whine”, where as the anti-sexist bingo squares focus on quantifiable statements and/or images.
Did you all see Zoe Quinn’s thing in Cracked today?

Good for her. It’s about time we got some real exposure for misogynists and anti-feminists. Maybe, like vampires, they will burn up and disintegrate in the cold light of day.
My brother is into GamerGate right now. I think he still believes it’s a righteous crusade against the Indie Illuminati. Yes he used that term.
@Sarah: That article is great! The GamerGate fiasco is a horrible mess of disgusting people being their truest, vilest selves, but the last point on the article ended on a hopeful note. By blowing this whole thing out of proportion, gamerdude misogynists are showing their true colors to the world, and it’s not a pretty sight to behold. The more they and their shitty ideas are exposed to the public, the more they’ll have to face the fact that they’re a dying breed.
I wish all the best for Zoe Quinn in her future endeavours. She is amazingly courageous.
Sarah: Thanks for sharing that. I have to say, I missed the bit about Adam Baldwin getting involved. I know he’s a shit-heel, but that situation is just so mind-bending. An actor who plays a part she likes in a show she enjoys goes off on her personally online… I don’t think I can properly process that level of surreality.
…actually wait.
I even remember that happening before, when Nick Searcy went after Amanda Marcotte on twitter “banning” her from watching Justified. I keep forgetting just how thin the walls between actor and audience are now.
My favorite part of that Cracked article comes right at the beginning:
You can’t count on Cracked to get it, but when they do it is kind of glorious.
Oh also at the end:
Something really is very wrong with our culture.
As a reminder that there are a lot of truly decent people out there too… Remember that gun instructor who died when a 9-year-old girl he was teaching lost control of the weapon? His family has done something very kind for the 9-year-old girl.
Trolls, 4channers, bigots, take note: This is how you human.
HAHA I love the “internal misogyny” square of the anti-feminist Bingo card. It’s actually “internalized misogyny,” which you’d know if you took the pacifier out and tried to listen once in a while.

Ah, someone beat me to it, never mind. 🙂
I’ll have one with double lack of self awareness…
Oh, and let’s not forget projection… I see a lot of it there.
I noticed that too… there are at the very least 5 squares which any self-delusional dude could actually fit anything being said to him.
In fact, it does sound a lot like the abusers’ tactic of “translating” the other person’s words into something obviously ridiculous.
They really don’t intend to be this transparent, do they?
I looked at his twitter feed. At least one person has said that he’s sad to see an actor from one of his favorite shows acting like this, and Baldwin came right out and posted a meme to indicate he doesn’t care about Firefly or Firefly fandom anymore. The same meme made it clear he intends to plow forward with #GamerGate as a righteous cause celebré. So, he’s staked his claim, and it’s pro-misogyny.
