Somewhere Bruce Banner is trying very hard to not get angry.
Iām not surprised that gamergate supporters are so delusional they donāt know the vivian james hoodie was specifically chosen to reference the daily dose. /v/ was pretty happy with it when they made it and didnāt hide the association at all.
I think saying āthey might not know itā is giving them too little credit. The lulz run deep over there.
Wait, now I canāt use purple and green together without triggering someone?!? This is going to make the Hulk sad.
actually itās about ethics in games journalism; the most honest and trustworthy sources on the internetāyoutubers, breitbart and anonymous forum and twitter userātold me so with their enlightening imgur memes
This is the stupidest charge anyone could come up with for criticizing Gamergate. If you think itās a rape joke, you ought to feel bad. Objectively, purple, green, and blue contribute to what is known as an analogous color scheme, something intended to promote harmony and calmnessāand is contrasted by the red hair of the character nicely. Indeed, it looks like they lifted Vivianās mode of dress from Zooey Deschanel

@beschizza Does this mean that Wicked Witch is also referencing this rape joke? The witch has green hair, a green broom, and has a purple gown: http://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/72999.jpg
Okay, so how do we help these particular self-identified āgamersā feel some sense of control in their own lives, because that is probably the only solution to the childish rape jokes and the impotent threats.
The funny thing is how I included in the post the fact that gamergaters, rather than dealing with the fact they once again got pre-trolled by 4chan, instead began invoking the innocent use of purple and green to handwave away the circumstances of this particular use of purple and green.
Context: itās like magicā¦
#CLIFF NOTES VERSION:
Purple+Green combo by somebody who never breathed 4chan daily: coincidence
Purple+Green combo by VJ/GG designer-creators who lived and breathed 4chan daily for years: not coincidence ā¦ or they all got hit on the head and suffered meme-specific collective retrograde amnesia.
Itās almost as if gators were as predictable as a fucking hourglass.
I maintain there would be significantly less nerdrage involved if this were true
As a comic reader and not a 4Chan user (or, obviously, GamerGate supproter), all I think of is:
Hulk
Joker
Lex Luthor
Green Goblin
She-Hulk
Add in just green OR purple and, well, that list explodes.
Weāve all got our in-jokes. Every time that song āCounting Starsā comes on in a public place I have a moment of disbelief before I remember that the reason why it shouldnāt be played in public is known only to about twenty or thirty people in the entire world. But if I were the one to decide to include that in a piece of art, it would be fair for a friend of mine to point out the intent.
Just decide to go with the coincidence variant, it will make it easier for everybody.
Green, White, and Purple were the colours of the Suffragette movementā¦ The purple was for dignity the white was for purity and the green was for hope. Thatās what I saw in the logo.
Maybe thatās not the first thing that comes to a gamergate supporterās mind. But it is still so.
I hope itās not me being utterly weird but the controller is clearly intentionally sexual (doggy style and rapey). The colour scheme is a detail.
Behold: The Incredible Sulk.
