Community moderators have been seen drinking heavily today following a post from one impressively passionate commenter, who managed to derail a highly-detailed discussion on flight simulators into an highly-detailed and highly-unsolicited “takedown” of the gender wage gap “myth”.

Although his contribution began as a defence of inverted control layouts, observers report that by the second paragraph user Patriot_Dave had launched into a full-blown attack on what he called the “regressive left” who were promoting “dangerous lies designed by a cabal of cultural marxists to emasculate men”.

The comparative authenticity of DCS’s recreation of the Fw 190 D-9 Dora against the Bf 109 K-4 Kurfürst, while interesting, was apparently not as interesting as a three-part series of 100-minute YouTube videos starring rambling bearded men, which Patriot_Dave assured fellow commenters would provide them with “all the evidence you need”.

Returning to the discussion the next day, Patriot_Dave attributed the fact that the conversation had died almost immediately after he had posted his contribution to his “rational and logical approach” which had “left no room for argument”.

“Feminism has made gamers so weak they can’t even engage in civil debate anymore,” he concluded. “It’s a sad state of affairs.”
