Did we take the dudebro gamer culture for granted at the time? It was obnoxious, corporate and shitty, but it was specifically catered to young men, and gaming was in a better place in the mid to late 2000s.

Return to the roots
Yes, we did.
Don't get me wrong, it moved in on some previously great territory and made it significantly worse, but in hindsight I would've kept booth babe mountain dew buttchugging "culture" alive if only for it not to have its place taken by whatever 2014 to eternity is turning out to be.
In a lot of ways it was inevitable. The middle class died and the only guys with disposable income were nerds. Women noticed this and so they stopped dressing like cheer leaders and started dressing like super heroes and Laura Croft. By the time Twitch came out, there was only one way this was going to end.
you read some dumb shit in this site over the years but the absolute blind reduction of long-term multi-tiered cultural and economic trends into a comment like this is rare. i don’t know which is more frightening - your public school groomed analytical handicap or your confidence that the mush mouthed drooling tard conclusions you’ve landed in are somehow helpful.
Have sex, I implore you
Now this lady is doing jerk off instructions on onlyfans. Are video-games to blame?
Hot
>2014 to eternity

This is going to crash and burn, and sooner rather than later. Take comfort in knowing it is unsustainable by nature.
No.
why's she got such severe jaundice?
I miss it, booth babes were great. I'm glad I was there for it.
Same.
Hot, but god damn late 90's-early 00's fashion was atrocious.
I know, women should just not wear clothes.
It didn't disappear naturally. israelites did this through their control of academia and entertainment.
Jews controlled academia and entertainment when Chun-Li came out. israelites drew all those comic book characters back in the 80's with the skin tight suits. israelites are a part of it, but there's more to it. israelites are literally more perverted than the japs.
but why would israelites put ugly people on it's just going to lose them money? israelites have done subversive shit but why do it and loss money?
Subversion of the one group that can put evil down is worth the price to them.
NTA, not sure if it's israelites either but somewhere along the way it was decided that men as the drivers of culture leaves money on the table. I've also seen this recent phenomenon of acting like the 2000s were the worst decade in the history of humanity because you could call someone a homosexual on Xbox Live. A weird disconnect between acceptable forms of sexuality, for example a porn star or an OF content creator is empowered and inspiring, a WWE Divas lingerie pillow fight or a tight t-shirt on a G4 host are basically sex crimes. It's sad.
Where is this clip of Olivia Munn from?
The TV show Chuck.

thanks anon
seconded need sauce
Pretty sure it's the Mormons and not the israelites. Mormons do all the shit people accuse the israelites of doing, they just got a late start at it.
Have you ever met Mormons? They're at most a little weird. They're very nice people.
As a man who appreciates some feminine features the 90s was a rough time to grow up. Who the frick told women Paris Hilton was someone to model themselves after?
Whale tails were sick though.
Life was much better when these two were up to no good.
we didn't know how good we had it
Yes
Crazy how good looking she was. Shame she was so boyish.
Better than now when everything is catered to "queers"
It's the default state. Remove the current ruling class and it will return to normal.
You mean how dudebro game IPs that make it out alive from that time are now known for yet another IP that lets you play female? To consider that as being taken for granted is a clear insult.
>Infected
Holy based. That game rules.
Found X-Play's review of it:
It's worth noting that, even though those bits with the hand puppets totally seem like an X-Play skit, they're actually from the game, though they dubbed over the first one. Also as expected the online servers have been dead for years now. I still think the single player on its own is great fun. And they don't mention the game's killer soundtrack.
infected and arctic edge are peak psp
i don't miss playboy-style advertising explicitly done to try and present the "hardcore" image and draw in dumb dads and dumber teenagers
we live in an era where you have infinite possibilities in porn and what you miss was being pandered to while growing up
I hope crimers hug and kiss you to life.
goofy ahh anon don't wanna get caught telling me to unalive or say bad things bout crimers
I had a girlfriend in high-school back then, I don't know why people act like this was at all a replacement for porn. Maybe if you're a kid? It was just great entertainment, that era of abundant softcore material was objectively healthier than today, the homepage of a porn site circa 2007 was full of amateur shit, big breasts, those algorithms today are some sort of military campaign in comparison.
they were all styled after playboy
i don't know why people don't make this association at all, gaming ads and the whole "booth babe" culture were riffing playboy
we even have AAA gaming riffing Hollywood now and people just don't get it
Real reason it became extinct is because average age of console gamer is 35. Alphoomers don't play PC/Console games they play mobile/PC games. Can't make a fanservice type game when your audience plays it on living room with his family. There is even a lack of profanity in modern games.
I found Olivia Munn and Attack of the Show annoying as frick, and remember raging because she clearly didn't know shit about what she was talking about. The girls they hired that didn't pretend to be nerds were fine though, and Morgan was great too.
Back then they were open about video games being a male-centric hobby, and men weren't shamed for being men. The demographics of who plays games haven't really changed, but now ideologues are hellbent on using them as a battleground for their culture war. I wish they would "just let boys be boys" and frick off once again.
>she clearly didn't know shit about what she was talking about
Reminds me of the time she read M.C. Hammer as "McHammer"
I miss the age of subcultures and demographics. Anyone noticed nowadays you can search "big breasts" and troonys show up in the results these days? It seems to be the norm now
it was always stupid
you never know what you have until its gone
i love the way women sexualize from an early age like this its definitely on purpose and i love it
It's the very reason why everything is shit now. The guys who made this culture didn't care about gaming.
qew
Morgan Webb, Jessica Chobot, Olivia Moon... It's funny that now they are all such huge feminist and Sjw's. Women really do fall for any propaganda so easily, that's why they are always the first target of it. Then you start getting the men.
