i cant believe people were like "ah yes i understand your argument, and i love your work btw" like no, there is nothing to understand, fauxpromises is a sexist asshole who is acting like theyre not phased at all by the backlash of their idiotic remark and trying to act like everyone can have a "calm debate" over it. their remark was rude and had no evidence to support it. honestly if they had wordedit like 'durrr stupid girls cant play gaems lol' ppl wouldve been PISSED
They started it off in an antagonistic way because I guess they were complaining about all the FAKYE GAMER GURLS. But I suppose they weren’t anticipating the MANY vocal female tf2 players seeing their post. Or thought that they were in a very special and small boat called “I am a girl and I don’t play Medic or Pyro)
They said they’re female but they’re still putting other girls down so whatever that’s not right.So I don’t give a shit what gender they are. They are an asshole. My response to them was a knee-jerk of their sort of blanket statement of “girl fans on tumblr only play medic/pyro” (not an actual quote) But upon re-reading it they seem to be mad at tf2 fans that “don’t even play the game”. But then they go on and say “oh but if they DO play they prolly only play medic/pyro” so if they play those classes then they’re not REALLY playing.
Overall it was just condescending and therefore insulting. And a lot of people myself included did not take kindly to it.
Also they are fazed and even went to the trouble of deleting all their reblogs retorting to peoples’ comments on the original post.The retorting stuff was childish and served to agitate everyone even more. (I participated and was childish as well)
