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!
I really appreciate Cracked. Their After Hours video series has included a discussion of why Star Wars is misogynist and masquerading as feminist, and their executive editor wrote an article many moons ago spelling out why and how it is that men are culturally programmed to hate women. Did that ever get posted here? If not, I’ll try to dig it up and post it.
OT: Today in tech bro-ism:
A tweeter (@chrisbeach) reacts to a list of all-female tech speakers, naming it ‘gender apartheid’. Further clarifying, he says ‘I think you’re being unfair on event organisers. Anyway why not let the free market decide? It’s naturally meritocratic.’
I never cease to get surprised at how blind people are to the effects of privilege.
I’ll read all the good links, I promise!
I suspect that it’s gonna be more like cockroaches; they’ll just scurry into (temporarily) less-accessible places.
Though you gotta admit it’d be kind of funny if they sparkled.
Sarah – Really any of David Wong’s opinion articles are pretty great. Here’s a link to that article you mentioned.

Oh and here’s a fun video cracked directed me too from that Anton La Vey looking halfwit. How nice to see he follows the trend of mixing his misogyny with a healthy dose of racism. I suppose I should trigger warning this since he is of course spouting mindlessly racist psuedo-science.
Ok just meant to link that not to embed it. Apologies.
What makes it such a fun game is that it’s really impossible to loose, thanks to these knuckle-dragging half-wits aping each other. Everyone wins!
I’ve no idea why, but everytime I try to open the window for GamerGate Bingo, it totally freezes my browser. I’m using Firefox, anyone else have this problem? Seems to work fine on Chrome though.
I’m sorry, but Smokey HAS to be some attempt at satire! Surely he has to be slightly aware of himself. Everyone has some self awareness, right? Right?!
4chan has started shitcanning gamergate threads (finally) and the shitheads have totally lost it, making wild conspiracy theories like MODS GOT PAID OFF or 4CHAN HACKED BY SJWS.
I need to lie down because I’ve been laughing so hard
I can’t believe I forgot the gaming illuminati! Will add to the list.
Also, Reptile, thanks for posting that! I will also add “everything must cater to meeeee” to the list, as it’s much more appropriate on my card than on yours.
@Zolnier and David, yeah “Indie Iluminati” should definitely be on there.
Also, say goodbye to my remaining neurons if I use this as a drinking game. One of the most enthusiastic imports to Australia, from the US, seems to be this amazing lack of grip on reality that is MRA.
Oh God. Ok, I’ve seen that “Reptile0009” guy previously in other places, and he’s really terrible.
I noticed that a lot of the squares applied to themselves. It’s a self-bingoing bingo card!
Meanwhile over in the troubled land of atheism/skepticism with prominent douchebagges like Sam Harris, Michael Shermer and in particular, Richard Dawkins twittering little more than rape apologetics on a daily basis, we have Defenders of Skeptical Beacons BINGO; enjoy:

Can we have a square for “projection”?
Oh for the fuck of holy shit. A rigged system is not naturally anything except fucked-up. And meritocracy is back-to-front bullshit anyway.
Also, “Indie Illuminati”? Dafuq????
@ Sarah-Newbie here, but liked the Cracked link. They have a lot of good interviews with people like Zoe,
Yes, didn’t you know? The Illuminati and Zionists run the entire world and manipulate men into subjugation to female overlords and feminazis. That’s why all the world’s corporate and political leaders are women. Obviously.
True story: I thought Reptile’s card was actually a right-way-round #GamerGate bingo card until I read further in the comments, because absolutely everything on it could be scored on a legit card, either as is or if placed in quotation marks.
What’s with the double post, though? Someone mucking up their multiple accounts or something? The stocking-marionette is strong in this one…
Illuminati? Pish posh, those who really know about these things know it’s the Furrinati who run the world.
FYI, Zoe Quinn’s Cracked article links to WHTM, which may explain the sudden troll influx.
Best game ever, and I’m a gamer (ppsshhh no I’m not, I’m a woman, BRB dinner and submission).
I’ve been reading Cracked for a while. It’s been interesting to see some of the comments lately. Apparently, anything that distinguishes Cracked from, say, Encyclopedia Dramatica is a personal affront to some of these people. Given how butthurt they get over issues like that, a day of actual factual oppression would make them melt like Elphaba in a hot tub.
Cracked is much more fun since they started snarking some actually deserving targets. Of course, the bigots would rather they just made fun of kids with Down’s Syndrome and such. That stuff stopped being original in the 1970s, FFS.
