As a woman who only plays video games to impress men, I have to say Boogie caught me. The 500+ hours I’ve played across the new Zelda games was no fun at all. And the game is named after a girl?! Ugh. Woke mind virus strikes again.
@@c0ttagespecifically, exactly one black woman probably 40 years ago that he has been using as a Get Out Of Trouble Free card ever since 😂 I guarantee you he said some wild shit to that woman during that sad relationship as well
Yeah he’s right as a white man last time I opened steam they asked if I was a white guy and then closed my account when I said yes :( then I got a letter from sweet baby inc in the mail telling me I’ll never be allowed to play games again and I should kms :( guess that’s just the reality of 2024; it’s soooooooo hard to be white and male :((((((
personally I think video games are supposed to be tormentous death marches through the steppe. if i've not developed psychosis or a new substance addiction by the end of it what's even the point.
@_zapatoz_ that's a grim way to look at it. What about fims? They are art and they are end-products meant to be enjoyed. Same with books. Have you never paused in a game and looked how beautiful it was, how incredible the story intertwined with your ability to interact with the game and how amazing it looked?
@_zapatoz_ and why are you the one who determines the goals of videogames? It sounds like you have an opinion you have assumed to be fact and cannot or will not substantiate
there aren’t many because “gamergate 2” is a stillborn wet fart that nobody with any sense cares about, even in the chud sphere. it’s just boogie flailing and continuing to sink deeper into irrelevance and desperation
wasn't boogie on Caleb Hammer's financial audit show a few months ago to talk about how he lost all his youtube fortune bc of bad investing and is now deep in debt, or something like that? food for thought
Yepppp. The way I see it, 2 possibilities exist: either this is manufactured outrage to get Boogie views so he can buy another week's worth of pizza for his MTG group (a.k.a, The Grift™️) or it's another example of white men feeling like they're owed something by society and, when their shitty personalities mean no one wants to give them the thing they think they're owed, they choose the red pill. Either way, Boogie needed to log off the Internet like,,, half a decade ago (at the very least).
Isn't there a study that shows that men feel unproportionally fast like they are pushed out of a space when in fact they are still the great majority of a community? I think the study was made about jobs and how fast they feel as the minority as soon as women enter 'their' workforce when in reality they are not, but this is just the same thing. 'Not every character looks like me, they want people like me out of this space!'
Not sure about this study in particular, but I have definitely read a study that said men perceive women to be “dominating and monopolising a conversation” if women are speaking for just 30% of the entire conversation, particularly in classroom or professional settings.
it’s so funny for someone to put out a statement, a bunch of people being like “what the hell are you talking about? do you have an example for this happening?”, not elaborating, and then going “and i WONT be apologizing for saying it!”
Gamers really don't like that there's been a massive cultural shift in terms of representation and honestly just how stuff is handled. I'm a huge fan of the Psychonauts games but oh my god, is the first one extremely "this is from 2005." Does it still make me laugh? Absolutely. Has it aged poorly? Yeah! But double fine worked to make a more sensitive sequel while still being irreverent and funny. Some people don't like it because i don't know, Wokeness, but damn if that wedding vow scene didn't hit (and who doesn't want a fat gay old man played by jack black)
Literally the only game I can think of that aggressively pushed their views was Forspoken and it automatically tanked because it barely was a game (also the source of this drama is twitter and Asmongold)
@@Diinytro Yeah, actually, if any game was to be called out for lecturing, it should be Metal Gear Solid. I agree with the anti-nuke message of the first MGS, but I didn't really feel like a five minute lecture in a codec call about it.
He can’t make a claim and not have support lmao .. Bc I can think of a recent controversial video game convo, like how incels were upset Alloy from Horizon had hair on her face and didn’t wear makeup in an apocalyptic world. Idk sounds like some video game men are too sensitive 😇
It's not a good primer. The guy omits and downplays easily accessible facts and misrepresents some others. A decent primer might be someone who's more balanced about both sides like Mutahar from SomeOrdinaryGamers
there's a 2000s visual novel i read last year that had the out there concept of using cloning as a metaphor for racism i still can't believe that's real😵💫
gamergate 2 is just as pitiful and laughable as the first. its quite sad really. touch grass, look outside. there are real problems in the world to deal with.
Well yeah, except the neo-Nazis already used them to rebrand as the alt-right 10 years ago, so exactly what future is there even for this limp little would-be movement? The even-alt-er-right?
I get that Boogie think's he's an ally. But this isn't the first time he's treated representation as a zero-sum with gains in diversity being directly related to losses for white men. It's just the first time he's been honest about believing that.
Exactly. Video games are entertainment, not so different than music or movies. There are political movies, movies dealing with social topics, there are also comedies and slasher movies LOL…there’s room for political games and non political games. Just don’t play a game if you don’t like it jfc is he 12 years old?
I never trusted Boogie even when he was being touted as “the Mr Rogers of the internet” or whatever. I always thought his whole “I just wish everyone could get along and be nice to each other uwu” shtick was a complete farce, and that what he likely actually meant was “nobody should be mean to me or people like me, but in the case of women and minorities everything is fair game, ~dark humour~ and they just need to be able to take a joke”. Especially when you consider his recorded behaviour outside of his curated videos, tweets etc, such as that classic time on a stream when he laughed at and mocked an ex-girlfriend when she died of cancer. Or the multiple SWers who have said he made them feel incredibly unsafe when he was one of their clients. Those kinds of thing certainly fill me with confidence that he does just care about the ~ethics in games journalism~, and not the whole Harassing Women And Minorities angle of the original gamergate /s
I do agree with your point about looking to past games with rose tinted glasses. I play a lot of old games and there is a lot of jank. But they were better though. And it’s not because of diversity. It’s because of capitalism. See, every game now is basically the same, safe, graphics first experience. And a lot are truly great. But when the games industry was new there was room for creativity that has been stifled recently. Most great games today are either Sony or Nintendo exclusives that act as loss leaders for the publisher, or remakes/sequels of older great games. Outside of indie games of course. Gamers are SO CLOSE to getting the problem. They hate live service, micro transaction games because a leftist indie journalist by the name of Jim Sterling told them it was bad. Look up the history on this it’s interesting. He really was the first to come out against this stuff. But they didn’t care for his reasons why when he told them. And now they parrot the same talking points he made over decades ago minus the socialism.
Wow, he sucks now. Preaching about performative bs while naming "the good things" he does that automatically makes him unable to be a pos. Talk about performative
Being so clearly embarrassed about being a pos is so much more damning than just being unabashed. If you cloak your bigotry in shame, you can't eventually use ignorance as an excuse if you ever realize you're on the wrong side of history. It reveals way too much awareness that there's something to be ashamed of.
A documentary came out last year that is literally called "The dark, sad life of Boogie2988" and it is...pretty pathetic ngl. He is desparate for money and its not surprising he's doing this grift. He's kind of always seemed pathetic to me.
Hey guys, I think that pizza should be bread and cheese and sauce, NOT just a bunch of dirty shoes dumped onto a tabletop. Not saying I’ve ever seen someone put shoes on a table and call it pizza, but this is a thing we all need to talk about and be wary of
Oh there is a game that "lectures the white man" actually. The modern Wolfenstein series? The New Order and New Colossus are some of my favorite story driven shooters, unlike say Farcry 5 which was meant to be about a not too dissimilar xenophobic enemy (christian nationalists) until Ubisoft caved to "cancel culture" by right wingers who caught wind. That being said, it's hard to make a really good piece of art that not only says something but means every word... until youngblood ruined everything T_T
Yeah, sorry, dude, but, as you mentioned, you are not big enough for any of your voiced opinions to be controversial. I can say "I love the works of the Austrian painter" in my discord server and won't have a lot of backlash. They don't care about the take itself if it won't reach a lot of people.
Bro I respect your opinion but you just selectively leaving out the part where sweet baby employe started a harresment campaign makes me question your motives and senseirty all you had 2 do was take 5 seconds and just state the facts and would have negated eny critics I have
As if this isn't an entire targeted harassment campaign towards SBI and their employees motivated in nothing actually substantial beyond bigotry... now when they decide to bite back you cry foul. Pussies.
I don't agree with Boogie. I don't think there are games that explicitly say what he said, but I think the industry as a whole has a lot of people racist towards white people.
I think one of the things that needs to be talked about more is that these "woke diverse games" can still be low quality for reasons outside of not having white men in it, two different Sweet Baby productions, Sable and Goodbye Volcano High are on two completley opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to writing quality, it really just depends on how much effort is being put in.
as someone who is Boogie's age, he is too damn old to be presenting "baby's first red pilled gamer opinion" out where everybody can see it
Thats kinda his thing, did you see his "ive got the universe in my hands" speech about fucking shrooms. The most bland, 50 year old suburban take on fucking shrooms. They really changed his life and outlook btw....

Artemiy moment
Spoken like someone who played Pathologic (the original one)
Lukewarm take: video games don't have to be fun.
Art doesn't always have to be a pleasant experience.
100%. the zone of interest was not a movie i would call fun but it's a great piece of art
Me, playing oxygen not included and finding out i have germs in my main water tank

Spoiled and entitlement. 'Equality feels like oppression to the privileged.'
Boogie is such a walking L he is failing at being a right wing grifter.
a "why I left the left" video is RIGHT THERE and he won't even commit to that. not just a grifter, but a two-faced, spineless one, at that :l
Given that gamergate was a targeted harassment campaign disguised as a movement, I'd really love it if we didn't have another one.
it’s so funny for someone to put out a statement, a bunch of people being like “what the hell are you talking about? do you have an example for this happening?”, not elaborating, and then going “and i WONT be apologizing for saying it!”
