♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Feminists

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish ourselves doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed in frustration? All to later be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money elsewhere, or even making the games ourselves. They think calling us racist, misogynistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitised to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challenge when they tell us we no longer matter.

Gamers are competitive, hard core, by nature. We love a challenge. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challenge us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Eat, Garfield, eat,

Eat with all your might,

Eat that pasta,

Eat it fasta,

Till it’s out of sight,

Till it’s out of sight.

Munch, Garfield, munch,

Come on, let’s do lunch,

Make your belly mozzarelly,

Crunch, crunch, crunch,

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Cheese, salami, ham and swiss,

Whole wheat, rye and white,

Sliced tomatoes, tons of mayo,

Love at first bite.

Garfield, you’re an awesome eater,

Yes, you are the top,

Butter betters, bitter batter,

You don’t have to stop.

Double stack it,

You can hack it,

Yum, Garfield, yum,

Don’t you miss a crumb,

Add a dinner,

you’re the winner,

Don’t you pause,

or you’ll get thinner,

More, Garfield, more,

‘Till you can’t fit through the door,

Eat, Garfield, eat,

Chow, chow, chow!
