Nintendo Makes a GamerGate Joke, Twitter Rages - It's so triggering, you guys.

[SteelPlatedHeart]

So apparently the newest Paper Mario game has a joke where the call a potential scandal "____gate".

The usual subjects on Twitter have become extremely butthurt about this...for some reason.

 

[Sailor_Jupiter]

Bwahaha. Nintendo is the BEST!

 

[José Mourinho]

The funniest thing is that it could be a reference to WaterGate, and WaterGate even involved 5 guys, and that's how Adam Baldwin coined the term "GamerGate".

So to reiterate: It's probably not even related to GamerGate at all.

Zoe: "HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF ME?!"

Nintendo:

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"your suffering"

So being caught (allegedly) sucking off five guys, then getting to go speak to the UN and have a possible movie starring Scarlett Johansson as you, all the while having a Senator in your pocket all the while your background as being a helldumping sociopath is all but expunged by your twink cronies.... that is suffering?

I thought there would be spergs from the pro-side that would complain as well. That said, the fact that WaterGate would be overshadowed by a want of better ethics in gaming journalism that dived right into autism war between MRA's and SJW's is hilarious and cringeworthy. Thank you Nintendo for triggering a bunch of people on Twitter.

I'm just sitting here hoping they don't cave in and patch this out of the game followed by a public apology like a lot of people/companies tend to do these days.

Er, I mean-
DON'T YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT SQUELCHING THIS BIG N!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Just wait until they see the sequence in which Mario discovers that one of the Mushroom Kingdom's PR reps is moonlighting as a hooker and cucking her husband.

 

[Michel]

Why isn't there more of this kind of outrage for Nintendo making a sequel to Sticker Star? That's the real issue here.

Word. Most of the people who'll play this game have probably never even heard of GamerGate, and most of those who have will probably only vaguely remember it as some internet bitchfight that they heard about a couple of years ago.

Wow that's stupid.

Personally I hate Gamergate references positive or negative for the same reasons I'd resent meme referances since they're going to be totally irreverent and dated in 5 years

This just shows how far their narcism goes. They think they're important enough to get referenced in something, when in reality they're a bunch of nobodies that no one gives a shit about.

 

[Foltest]

It is a watergate reference, not a GG one. Only idiots would belive that (which twitter is full of)

 

[XYZpdq]

Only GamerGate speds would think that the perennial crutch of __Gate is about them.

 

[Xerxes IX]

Of course real life events are less important than vidya to these retards.

I kinda wanna see if they'll claim to swear off Nintendo forever because first they fire Rapp due to the Gamergate Illuminati and then make a joke about it, just cause lots of SJWs I know don't play many non-Nintendo games

 

[VortekPMD]

Bitch you sucked all those dicks to get your PowerPoint presentation to be game of the year. You are obviously ashamed because you have no other redeeming qualities other than knowing how to juggle balls with your tongue. Be lucky that Wizards of the coast gave you a job you ungrateful bratty heffa. You are the reason feminists aren't taken seriously. If you really thought you were as talented as a game developer as you thought you were, you wouldn't have jumped on dicks like Tigger jumps on his tail. You are a hoe, a joke, and you need to understand this is the consequences of your actions. So stop crying, stop sucking dick for come ups and make a real game, Miss Indie Game Developer.

 

[D.Angus]

I'm very indifferent on this.. On the one hand.. I love the joke and that it's gonna piss people off.. On the other hand... This is fucking Treehouse being Treehouse and making topical jokes that'll be dated shortly..

 

[Rudol von Stroheim]

Hahahahahaha, these 'women' need to find real things to complain about.
What's worse, being denied education for your gender or a lighthearted joke Nintendo make about something most of the world doesn't give a shit about?
Dumb bitches.
