Hey. This is Perp. I used to be here up until 2019, when my account got locked. BUT NOT ANYMORE. I'M BACK. Perp | 25 | ๐Ÿฅณ 12/20 | โ™ | She/Her | Trans Lesbian Twitch affiliate | EN VTuber | Artist | CS Major | Game dev | Coder

Leaving aside how pathetic it was that Gamergate had to invent a fictional woman to be the face of the movement because they couldn't even stomach paying someone off to rep them, the striking thing about Vivian James as a character is that they couldn't resist trying to position her as the perfect Gamer Girlfriendโ„ข, and what they came up with to fulfill that brief was a woman who plays games all the time and has no other interests, but also she only cares about the purely technical and mechanical aspects of the games she plays, to the total exclusion of any narrative or aesthetic considerations, so she'll never have inconvenient opinions or argue with you about anything.

Let me restate for emphasis: their idea of the perfect gamer girlfriend was a woman who is deeply interested in the technical and mechanical dimensions of gameplay design and absolutely nothing else, because this means she'll never argue with you about video games.

Buddy.

But arguing about stupid shit is the best part, and indeed core foundation, of all my relationships!

Well, yes, but aversion to arguments is not the failing I'm gesturing toward. The failing I'm gesturing toward is that they tried to imagine a Perfect Gamer Girlfriend Who Will Never Argue With Me About Anything, and in so doing, proceeded to invent a person who, if she actually existed, would be almost certainly be loudly opinionated about every single game she's ever played.

Chess anime adaptation. Not about playing chess. Chess itself. A war between enemy forces featuring giant walking castle robots, bulky war horses, and battle priests mixed up among the regular fighters.

At one point the queen steps up off the throne like, "It's time for me to get serious," and powers up like a Dragon Ball character before rocketing into the fray shooting ki blasts.

One of the grunts manages to breach the front gates of the enemy stronghold and then undergoes a Magical Girl transformation to become another queen.

one of my trans friends added me to a discord channel called "egg group chat" and I was starting to get very introspective before I realised they're organising a group buy of eggs from a local farm
