Asmongold puts Jaffe on blast for unhinged sexist rant at Vara Dark

bender

What time is it?
Weirdest interaction of my life, kinda hard to believe that the God of War creator stopped posting here right after angrily replying to me.

Right now, he's unhinged and saying a bunch of crazy shit. But, that post... he's not exactly wrong. He just doesn't have what it takes to weather the Asshole Storm.
Youd think he'd have a strong stomach. Guy kind of looks like Artie Lange.

I just treat forums as big laughs. Nothing to take seriously when it comes to mudslinging.

Modern day forums and social media are a fraction of insults, doxxing and poison pilling compared to the Yahoo stock boards during the dot com craze. It was basically anything goes. Probably all big forums and message boards were like that during the infancy of the net. The only moderating they did was rudimentary spam filtering where if you pasted a link it might not catch. So to get around it, you paste the link and add a space by the www. part of it everyone knew to to look for. Then everyone just got rid of the space when want to read the article.

It was all out cussing, making fun, people trying to find each other's address. It was a shit show. But end of the day I think just about everyone thought it was funny. One day the stock is up and Longs gloat. Next day stock is down and Shorts gloat. Most people probably didnt even own shares. Or they owned a whopping 100 shares. But it was a hilarious community where you got to know who was who, and everyone was making aliases with one letter different than an enemy poster. No mods. Total free for all laughs. I never bothered making aliases, but it was so crazy there were times I thought someone hacked into my account and started posting form my account. But then I'd look closely and it was a fake alias where the "l" in my user name was a "1". It's stupid, but kinda funny too.

BUT people still didnt go overboard like posting porn or weird shit. It was more like everyone roasting each other.

You made me laugh at the top,but I wanna say I took the bottom half much more seriously. I agree wholeheartedly. :messenger_sunglasses: :messenger_fistbump:

Disagreement isn't fear. You also still haven't addressed why Jaffe's response was "correct".

I mean that's obvious. Her looks is part of the appeal. Especially since she's on the anti-woke side. I've seen it plenty of times with Black Republicans. Candice Owens being one of them. The group says, "see even one of their people agrees with us on this" type feeling. It really shouldn't feel like a negative to point that out.

The people that dislike woke but also balk and Vara's type of content...lack the courage of their convictions.

What you see today is the natural evolution of the type of content that discourages woke content creation the most.

Some simply can't stomach what we've had to become to achieve this final form. Squeamish, frightened, weak-willed. If you can manage to not change sides for the next 2 years we will win and we can go back to talking about the next Zelda game.

He is probably stacked and got old ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I play games since the 90s so however longer you've played games.... yeah that tetris on atari really brings in some expertise....
I've also been playing games a loong time and can safely say old age has not changed Jaffe. He's always been a contrarian and most of his comments from his youth also pissed me off, so it's not new.

Blaming how this man is on old age is unfair to old age. I'm not sure if Jaffe would agree with that but to me he's always been a contrarian and his comments can be edgy. It's not the end of the world but imho he has stepped in it this time.

I don't want to misattribute, but in my memory I remember being a Nintendo fanboy and getting nervous every time I read a Jaffe quote in my gaming youth. No fond memories of Jaffe as a gaming commentator from this guy. Yes God of War and especially Twisted Metal Black were great.

faaaaackkkk double post....

Being sexist is negative. Jaffe said her success is because of her gender and looks. He also called her a mental lightweight.

I've seen you being supportive of women in past posts, but it looks like that only applies to certain women. How disappointing.

No, it's sexist if he said or implied it was the "ONLY" reason she's popular. I took what he said to means it gave her a boost and helped her popularity. There's a difference. No reason to deny that looks can help in popularity. I support that for all the good looking people. Use it to your advantage. I support that. But no reason to deny that it plays a role.

It's "a" reason why dudes like Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade has nothing to do with this conversation. However, I can see what angle you're coming from quite clearly and that further proves it. It's okay to be sexist towards this woman because she doesn't fall on the side you support in the so-called culture war. You and a couple others have proven that in this topic.

Also, this is what he said:

“You are in that chair, Vara, because of your hair, and your face, and your gender. And that’s fine by the way. There’s no problem with that. But let’s be clear, you’re a mental lightweight.”

He directly said the only reason she's popular/has an audience is due to her looks and gender. You can support people using their looks to their advantage all you want, but that's not what's happening here. This is a progressive man being sexist because a woman criticized him and hurt his feelings.

Dont watch Jaffe videos. Instead laugh at them through Asmongold who picks them apart.

Here's another one. Jaffe keeps talking about that orange haired girl. As I said in one these older posts the past few days I guarantee you all he's so amped on her because he has a big boner for her.

Skip to 10:30 mark he keeps rambling about her being good looking.

I don't know if I like Vara Darks news videos. I used to, but it was becoming too much in my inbox. Her gameplay streams are better though. At least somewhat. Jaffe sounds like an idiot who isn't getting any lately.
