Remember when Dobson said he wouldn’t talk about GamerGate again. Here’s him talking about GamerGate again.





Let’s go over the good and bad of this.





The good: He finally drew Vivian James in character…at least appearence wise.

The bad:

1. Vivian James was created during the Fine young Capitalists fiasco in which a self professed radfem group opened a contest for women to submit game ideas that would be voted on and the winning game would then be created. This group was unfairly slandered by Zoe Quinn (you might have forgotten who she is after all this time. She’s the 5 Guys girl) and vilified by Quinn’s friends. 4chan decided to donate to TFYC’s project (4chan gave more money to women in gaming than any of the turbo feminists Preston worships) and because they donated enough money, they were allowed to design a character to appear in the game. 4chan eventually came up with vivian James (a play on vidya games), a grumpy girl who likes to play video games and doesn’t like video game journalists.

She wasn’t created to show that gamers aren’t sexist (though it is likely that 4chan intentionally didn’t go with an overly sexy woman to further shit on feminist’s expectations), she was created because a bunch of anons wanted a “daughterfu” or in more general terms, a character they can cherish and be proud of.

2. No one in GamerGate uses Vivian James to deter accusations of sexism. There’s already the Not Your Shield campaign in which female (and minority) GamerGate supporters can tell SJWs like Dobson to fuck off and stop using them as a shield.

3. GamerGate co-opts many things. Mostly hashtags started out by anti-GamerGate but at the end of the day, Gamergate hasn’t launched any campaign to co-opt the Confederate flag.

4. The reason GamerGate would give a shit about the whole flag thing (and this is based on more than a few people’s personal opinions but something that would actually be relevant to a consumer revolt about video games) is because games featuring the flag have been taken off of Apple’s online store. Not even games that support the confederacy, just games saying “Hey here’s the civil war. Here’s the union with their flag and the confederate with theirs”

Apple has since then put some of the games back on but it’s very telling not just to gamers but anyone with half a mind how absurd it is for Apple to self censor in such an appalling way. Let me spell this out to you, Dobson: censoring/banning the flag isn’t going to bring anyone back to life, nor end any racial injustice that exist, nor get the south to realize everyone else views it as a hate symbol, and most importantly of all

it won’t prevent violent psychopaths from having access to weaponry and going out and killing people. No, not just racists, but anyone because at the end of the day, this isn’t a race issue. It’s the same kind of issue behind the Aurora shootings, the Boston Bombings, the Gabriel Gifford’s shootings, and so on.

But I digress.

5. You’re legit trying to paint tens of thousands of people from all over the world and from all different backgrounds….as supporters of the confederacy and no, I highly doubt you’re saying GamerGate doesn’t believe the south should have been forced to merge with the north under a single government. You’re implying that GamerGate would use a symbol that supports slavery as if that’s what GamerGate believes.

Good fucking job, Dobson.

6. The comic doesn’t make any sense in general because GamerGate already has a well established symbol:





It’s been almost a year now and it hasn’t changed since then.

Don’t worry Dobson, I’m sure Brinna Wu will love you back for this comic. As for everyone else, you’re pretty much in the trash already. I expect to see you bitching on Twitter about “harassment” from GamerGate following this shit comic by tomorrow.
