These games are not for children my guy.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 25 points 9 months ago

also bodies are not inherently sexual like a woman just standing around in a bathing suit is not an inherently sexual thing

twerking is only sexual in the mind of the observer

jesse-wtf

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

Ikr, twerking is clearly a dialectic

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

twerking has as many roots in traditional african dance as it does in the club and is something that arose primarily among black women

its overly sexualization is a result of patriarchy and white supremacy twisting a dance that black woman who are comfortable in their bodies are doing to try and play into the racist and sexist stereotypes of the "aggressively sexual" black woman

this is my understanding of the issue from the black feminist point of view that ive read but maybe everyone disagrees with that i dunno

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

It's no more sexual than ballet, which is to say quite a bit but there doesn't have to be.

True but Rockstar put that woman in a bikini in a male gazey way intentionally to draw sex sells eyes so I think that in this case that doesn't apply. (the twerking is a reference to a real life incident, the trailer is full of refrences to "florida man" type incidents).

But it's GTA, so women are inherently sexual in the game.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

The multiplayer definitely is. But these people wouldn't call for an end of COD because kids play it, but because they might become woke from all the female soldiers committing war crimes (they don't have a problem with that last part)

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 53 points 9 months ago

I wonder who his audience is now. He went on Infowars and saw how much the right hates him, but a post like this would only appeal to them and would alienate everyone else including groypers. Hinkle has been fully reduced to begging other kids on the playground to dare him to eat a worm.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago

2.2 million followers so whatever he's doing he's figured something out.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago

with these grifters i always wonder how much of that is organic engagement and how many are just bots paid for by whatever right wing think tank came up with the idea that fake nazbols are the best way to wreck the left

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

Honestly I think that strategy is working at least on twitter. Ive mentioned it frequently before but there's so many socially reactionary Hazite "MLs" on twitter, and the social progressive leftists on there feel driven to Ultraism to not be like those people.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

i've been thinking the same thing lately. it's primarily designed to stop growth of ML thought/interest among younger people by making it seem virulently socially conservative and drive a wedge around a growing but confused leftist movement

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

so first of all most of those are not human beings. this is exactly the type of guy to pay for followers.

I sort of wonder if the ragebait factor (Pure spectacle?) carries with guys like him, but that doesn't explain the weird armies of really persistent name-searching infrared globe avatar guys

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 48 points 9 months ago

Grand theft auto was never for children, I'm pretty sure it's always been an R18 rated game.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 9 months ago

Do not ask the gamestop guy circa 2001 if he sold me GTA Vice City when I was clearly under 17.

[-] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

I distinctly remember buying the game Mercenaries as a kid because people said it was a GTA clone, I wasn't allowed to buy GTA, and a game where you kill thousands of North Koreans is only T for Teen.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 9 months ago

Cartoon boobs make it M for mature but shooting soldiers in the head is good for growing boys.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

This is what you get when your empire superstructure prominently include aggressive religion with manicheist vibes.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

also do not go to 2001 and ask certain people certain other questions

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 47 points 9 months ago

Did I fall through a time portal to 2001 or something? Why are all the conservatives losing their shit over GTA again?

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 42 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Rockstar waited 12 years to release it so they'd get a new generation of moral outrage free advertising.

It's hilarious because there is literally nothing that could make kids want to play a game more than some asshole in a suit saying the game is too sexual for kids.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 9 months ago

Yeah, someone said that this is all astroturfed by Rockstar, and I kind of half believe it. The previous games sold really well due to controversy giving them free publicity. So it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted this one to also be "controversial" as a form of free advertising.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

it honestly does feel like reality's being shifted by the LHC every 6 months or so

Either some org like ADL paid him off to start blatantly conflating Judaism and Zionism in a transparently antisemetic manner or he's just got the "stooge for the ruling class" brainworms so baked into him that he's doing it on his own

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 9 months ago

This is the reaction my most reactionary friend had to this series of tweets after learning who jackson hinkle is:

[-] Snackuleata@hexbear.net 39 points 9 months ago

I thought most capital G Gamers were in favor of sexualizing women in games?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 9 months ago

There's two camps on the reactionary right, those that hyper-sexualize women and see them as fuck toys which a lot of capital G G*mers fall into and then there's the "trad" camp, which hosts dipshits like Hinkle who want women to be docile and demure (but still be fuck dolls in private).

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago

spoilerThey are actually the same camp

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 31 points 9 months ago

Pretty much but I can still see them squabbling amongst themselves over the "right" amount of hatred and control to put on women.

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

lolbertarians vs. tradbozos

[-] axont@hexbear.net 31 points 9 months ago

this is the first I'm learning about this person and is this just like a funny har-har joke the state department is pulling or what

how is this guy real? "MAGA communism" like yeah dude I'm really into Marxism-Chudism what the fuck are you even talking about man

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure maga communist is more a play towards national socialism.

His views are definitely not communist, I can tell you that

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

I hate this fucking guy

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

He is absolutely being paid by Rockstar Games.

[-] envis10n@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

Game rated M and the ESRB suggests 17+, most kids have to get money from their parents to buy it: STOP MAKING THIS GAME FOR CHILDREN

"Why are the ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS releasing their UNARYAN artistic perversion upon the whit...I mean Children of AMERICAN PATRIOTS."

God I hate this timeline. My Arab friends of all religions are terrified and heartbroken. My anti-Zionist Jewish friends are scared and hopeless and constantly defending themselves.The fash are using it to attack both. Often the same fash will attack Jews and Palestinians, using opposite arguments.

One day there will be a fucking reckoning for this, god willing.

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

i think he's doing a bit, but for the life of me i can't figure out what he thinks it is. is it supposed to be a dunk on antizionists? does he think the new Treat is too Woke for some other reason so he's trying to trick the loony left into attacking Our Favorite Game? Is he just trying to get attention by saying something that will get the greatest number of people to call him an idiot (this one is the most likely)? Their brains are so fucking warped.

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

Remember this guy being boosted all aver during the early days of the most recent bombardment of Gaza as some kind of anti-Zionist. Of course he is a nazi who just hates Jews, but I guess he is trying to keep his newfound niche of using Zionist as a euphemism for Jew.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

Hey, that's a catchy nickname!

Just-say-Jews-Jackson

[-] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

cheese for brain

[-] shath@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

cry about it you fucking baby

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

There's a sickly sweet taste like rotten fruit to calling out disgusting zionist behavior only for it to be some dumb shit where you're just calling random people zionists. There are self declared zionists doing horrible things, punching down to suffering Palestinians, and running shameless PR in the name of advancing the zionist cause. But the probably not zionists making a video game with sexy women for their historically not for children franchise for ends realistically unrelated to isntreal are the real zionists. Some real "I can excuse genocide, but"

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
