ContraPoints has a great Tangent video about Gamergate (I think you have to be a Patreon subscriber to get access to it, but it’s seriously like $2 or something).
All I’m getting from this is that something called “tenya” (?) is probably really fun. And now I’m annoyed I’ve never gotten to play!
E: oh maybe just “tens”. Screw it, whatever it is, deal me in lol
Tenys = tennis?
I’m assuming a dice game based around the number 10 most likely lol, but it is possible (and fun to imagine) that maybe rampant tennis enthusiasm needed to be quelled :) Weirder things have happened. Like a town dancing themselves to death.
“dise-player, carder”
Ah, so this is probably some law trying to curb gambling-
“tenys player” wait, what? Were people betting on tennis matches back in the day or something?Gamers truly are the most oppressed class in society 😔
That predates Shakespeare. Imagine if Shakespeare had written a play about gamer oppression.
Not violent enough for Shakespeare.
Wow they really did target gamers, huh
What? They targeted gamers?!‽
And that document was written by a time-traveling Anita Sarkeesian.
Maybe cause there was gambling involved too?
“Too”? It was ONLY because of gambling. To this day, the gambling industry cringetastically calls itself the “gaming industry”
God I hope this is satire.
I just looked it up, the term “gamer” predates the term “satire” by about 50 years.
Aristophanes would like a brief word.
600 years and homie thinks it still stings.
