Watched Contra's new video in full. Not up to full Discourse or any kind of fully-thought out condemnation or exaltation of the video but it made me take stock of and reassess what I've been through online and how it feels to always function under a microscope. I don’t tweet about it but on top of people saying that I concocted my own harassment, the repeated nasty/transphobic rumor that I'm an AMAB trans woman, and various intrusions into my private life, along with of course various death/rape threats, online stalkers, whatever,

Feel free to shit on Black Mirror or Bandersnatch if you don't like them but CYOA films were on their way back in anyway with CtrlMovie/Kino and Paramount/20th CF and at least Brooker is a longtime enthusiastic and outspoken games fan/advocate for games as art vs gimmick man Like I agree that marginalized devs are the backbone of a ton of game design, esp twine, but it's weird and disingenuous to paint Brooker as a new-to-games asshole when he played games before I was born lol and baffling to bring up gamergate which he repeatedly made fun of
