Highly professional behavior.
I feel like this tweet is
way stupider if you understand what spawned this tweet. Sorry in advance for this screed I'm about to write.
BACKGROUND FOR THOSE OOTL
A petition was started to add a specific anti-vaxxer scenario to Plague Inc. The developer tweeted and said that if the petition got 10k signatures, they'd do it:
Two days later, the petition had reached its goal (over 20k now actually!), and the developer said they'd add it soon:
The reception I saw was largely positive and jocular pretty much everywhere from Steam to Twitter to even Reddit.
Then, this dipshit goes and finds a few stupid recent reviews after this anti-vaxxer scenario announcement to highlight Steam's "hilarious" reviews:
But HOLD UP. Let's break that screenshot down real quick.
In this image, one review is just calling the game "so bad." It's a worthless review, but there's no proof of correlation between it and the anti-vaxxer scenario.
One review is calling the developers "far-left SJWs." Again, a very stupid and very worthless review, but not one that
explicitly shows correlation to the anti-vaxxer scenario. It's likely to be as much about the Brexit jokes that the games makes as about the vaccine thing. There's also the issue that there are at least
some anti-vaxxers among the so-called "far-left SJW" crowd, which further compounds the difficulty of attributing this review to the upcoming scenario (research shows anti-vaxxers are largely white, college-educated people who demonstrate a disposition towards conspiratorial mindsets).
And the reason I'm confident in suggesting this second review (like the first) might be about Brexit or something entirely unrelated to vaccines is because the review above these two is literally some schmuck complaining about the game making "Brexit commentary":
Anyways, back to the screenshot, you
finally have
one review which is actually attacking the anti-vaxxer scenario and whining. Fine, we can concede on that one.
So this
one stupid review about vaccines inspires the one dipshit to screenshot it to laugh at it, which inspires this dipshit (actually the Designer/Programmer of
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine) to say:
Which then inspires this dipshit (PC Gamer Writer) to say:
But wait a second, how about the other recent reviews since the announcement?
Oh ho. Dang. They're actually positive and like the anti-vaxxer inclusion.
And wait a second, what about that
one actual stupid rant from that initial screenshot?
What? I can't find the review anymore, where'd it go! It should be right between these two! I better go check the user's Steam profile and see where it went. Maybe he deleted it himself?
Oh whoops, Steam removed the review because it broke the ToS.
BUT.
MUH.
NARRATIVE.
