Your side WON the culture war! No one listened to her and she was a laughingstock then and still now! You have been in victory dance mode for TWELVE YEARS! More people are racist, the media bends over backwards even more for you, and now we have KOSA and another war to steal brown people’s oil because your side marketed itself as cool! And you think that’s not enough revenge for the horrible crime of checks notes making you feel like a bad person twelve years ago? So much for “you can’t fight hate with hate”, God you losers are petty.

This has to be the worst part about CHUDs. They ALWAYS win, but they’re too stupid to recognize when they win as they always do!

I think it's more to do with moving goal posts after winning. Sort of like the Overton window but just to fit the reactionary worldview in the culture wars idk

Exactly, the outrage tourists can never truly “win” in their narrative because if they’re ever not the put upon victim, then they’re no longer acting in self-defense. And if they present themselves as winning, their continued assaults are bullying at that point.

Typical Natoid behavior, reckoning is approaching though. inshallah

There’s a quote in What’s The Matter with Kansas where Frank describes the sense of the right that they must tell themselves they’re losing even when they’re winning.

Hence why they cannot recognize that they’ve won. They treat the right the same way someone treats weightlifting: even if they do appreciate the progress thus far, NEVER be satisfied. Satisfaction breeds complacency.

This isn't really true. If you compare women in video games now vs before GamerGate there's a really big difference. Look up how the female characters were dressed in Mortal Kombat 9 and then how they look in Mortal Kombat 11/MK1.

Back in the 2000s, video games were still marketed entirely towards men and girls were only allowed to play the Sims or Animal Crossing. That has shifted massively and having female characters who aren't just there for men to gawk at has been a major part of that. Having a female lead in a Battlefield/CoD game was unthinkable before GamerGate.

You could definitely argue that Anita Sarkeesian "won" and the capital G Gamers "lost". There are way more women in video games and they're less overtly sexualized than they were 20 years ago. Even now, the specter of Sarkeesian haunts the Gamers as GW plans to introduce female space marines into Warhammer 40k or sth like that. This has less to do with corporations realizing the importance of feminism and more with them recognizing women as a marketable demographic, but still.

In fact, chuds continue to lose battles on this front in the culture war. More and more games allow you to be gay. They're currently losing the character creator battle where games now have you choose between "Body type 1 and 2" as opposed to "Male and female", which they are furious about. We literally have this emote pronouns of a chud raging about pronoun selection in Starfield. As far as video games go, the wokes are undoubtedly winning.
