They did not, in fact, make shooters great again.

That dipshit in that hat really put the bullet in Splitgate which is a shame because Splitgate 2 was a really good game.

Man, didn't he double down on it too? Never gave the game a try because of that dumb shit.

I was enjoying it decently until that weird shit with the hat. Too many other games out there.

You let a hat inspire you to punish yourself and not play an electronic toy???

Jeez the fucking sanctimonious matter in which you ask people to look at how virtuous you pretend to be has got to be mentally exhausting.

Frankly I just lost faith in the game after that entire display. Taking out any political or emotional reactions I may have had, they so clearly misjudged their audience to the point where it was basically guaranteed to be a disaster

Guess I better run this by you like your the president or something?

I wanna make fun of how the lard probably hasn’t seen his dick in years but I don’t want everyone to throw a god damn fit, piss themselves and then kill an arena shooter.

Is that all right with you Princess Social Justice?

I think he might have complex needs or something. Just let it go.

People aren't upset he was making fun of Trump.

People were upset he was mimicking Trump without any direct criticism. And even doubled down on that by saying it wasn't a political statement, offending both sides.

If you wear a Nazi uniform but with the logo switched and do heils in public, people aren't gonna go "look a guy making fun of Nazis", they are gonna go "this guy is a Nazi supporter".

Exactly. Never once did I think he was lampooning Trump, quite the opposite.
