Brandon Morse is a ‘conservatarian’ gamer and blogger. You may have seen him on The Blaze TV with Dana Loesch. He’s a strong advocate of the group that’s come to be known as GamerGate—who argues against ethical lapses in video game journalism and against authoritarian political correctness being forced upon the video game industry. Anita Sarkeesian is one of the primary “social justice warriors” against whom the GamerGate movement formed. Brandon was not pleased to pick up a copy of Game Informer magazine and see Sarkeesian featured prominently.

@TheBrandonMorse I got that magazine when I picked up DAI earlier. Oddly satisfying to tear those 2 pages out and throw them away — Vajira Ranaviraja (@VRanaviraja) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse @FacileGoose First Rolling Stone covered the Boston Bomber, now this. Looks like print media norms are shitposting, too. — Global Congress LLC (@Sadtech2077) November 19, 2014

@Sadtech2077 @TheBrandonMorse @FacileGoose Why the fuck is she on an entire page of @gameinformer ? She's done NOTHING but shit on gamers — WTF Magazine (@thewtfmagazine) November 19, 2014

I'm just surprised she was able to name two games to "fall in love" with. pic.twitter.com/kiyO9KlCp9 — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse she has moved onto 2 games! PROGRESS!!!! — AlisonPrime (@Alison_prime) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse I doubt she's played any games since the 90's. — TRIGGER WARNING (@idrawrobots) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse especially as in 2010 she stated on video that she didn't play games and had to learn about them for her thesis — Derp Inside (@DerpInside) November 19, 2014

Calling bullshit on the first part, but it's more terrifying to think your vids are being discussed with children. pic.twitter.com/GofU0f1yY5 — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

THEY ALREADY EXIST! PLAY A DAMN VIDEO GAME YOU LYING HARPY!!! pic.twitter.com/NuhZYjnXRq — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse yep. zero credibility. I'm currently replaying a game from 2010 that lets me play as a badass, evil woman. — Mrs. Pteranobob (@pteranobob) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse So…she's apparently unaware of Bioware… — Hoss Fuentes (@MTotenkopf) November 19, 2014

She’s unaware of video games. RT @MTotenkopf: @TheBrandonMorse So…she's apparently unaware of Bioware… — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

@TheRealPolina @TheBrandonMorse "There are no diverse and inclusive stories" If you pretend they don't exist, and haven't for decades, sure. — Vholst (@HMEGaming) November 19, 2014

@TheBrandonMorse Some people insist that other people create things for them and refuse to do anything but bitch about not having it already — CasualSlacks (@CasualSlacks) November 19, 2014

This is a great point. Some people want new things to exist so they endeavor to create them. Then there are those who want new things to exist so they seek to force others into creating them, arguing that it is an injustice that they have not already done so. The former is a pure creative motive. The latter is more about desire to control others than about creating.

Hi @gameinformer. Any chance you’ll do an interview with someone directly opposed to Anita Sarkeesian’s views in the near future? — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

That would be what a real journalist would do, wouldn’t it?

@TheBrandonMorse @QuayBangz @gameinformer Yeah cause there are A LOT of us and a lot of us are female…. — Miss Misanthropist (@TamedInsanity) November 19, 2014

I’ve seen harder questions lobbed at Obama than the softballs they throw at @femfreq. — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

Think about it. The hardest question @femfreq has ever been asked was “can you name 3 (video games).”Still waiting on that answer. — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

I’m about this close to seeking employment in the vidya journalism industry. — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014

Gaming Journalism, my ass. — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) November 19, 2014
