Disaster Man ‘team-killed and virtually teabagged’ female journalist during shocking in-game rampage - boom headshot

A developer’s career is under threat today after he ‘virtually teabagged’ a female journalist during a demonstration of a video game.

The unnamed man was showing off a demo of his game at the conference Pax East when he killed the woman and then squatted up and down on her dead body.

This is known as ‘teabagging’ for its similarity to a sex act in which a man places his testicles into another person’s mouth.

Although this incident took place in-game, a complaint has been made to the man’s employer which could have disastrous consequences for his future.

The virtual teabag scandal was highlighted by Mike Futter, a games journalist, who tweeted: ‘Friendly tip for devs showcasing games: don’t intentionally team-kill a journalist and then teabag them… especially if she’s a woman.’

The journalist who suffered this simulated sex act appears to be Amanda Farough, a self-professed feminist who once worked for Mic.

She tweeted: ‘I said out loud, in my headset, “And this is why I hate playing these kinds of games”. Thanks for the demo.’

‘Now, granted he thought I was his “dev buddy” by accident, but holy shit was that a mistake,’ she added.

‘No PR around. Just dudes showing me a game and rolling the dice on being rude.’

Farough then said she would be writing to the developer who made the game, although she declined to shame the person on Twitter.

‘No one is naming names publicly,’ she said.

‘This is being handled privately and gently. It was an issue of professionalism and nothing more. The hubbub was a PSA and reminder that this is unprofessional behaviour. That’s it.’

In the sensitive and politically correct gaming industry, a complaint like this could be enough to get the man fired.

‘I hope the fact that you didn’t take their shit totally shattered their weekend,’ one of Farough’s Twitter followers wrote.

‘I hope it did. Hubris soaked frat boys,’ she responded.

I hope they name him. Here's the thing: Game Journalists are fucking irrelevant. They are less they are irrelevant, they are widely mocked in the gaming community. Nobody, absolutely nobody, uses them for purchasing advice, takes them seriously or actually give a fuck about their faggot dissertations about skimpy female armor or representation in games. Let me reiterate: Gaming journalists are a bloated appendix, an evolutionary endpoint that will eventually be excised because they are useless.

Daniel Varva was called a bigot, a misogynist, a racist and a bully. His game was blacklisted from review sites and largely ignored by the gaming press. You know what that got him? His Kickstarter game selling more copies than Wolfenstein 2, a AAA title.

If you have a quality, or even a half-way decent product, it will sell, especially with bad exposure from Game's Journalists. You know what I do? If they say something is good, I tend to ignore it because 1) Its generally good, so they serve no purpose 2) Its some indie shit game about trannies or diversity or 3) Their dwindling salaries have been buffed by a AAA studio to give the game a good rating. The ONLY time I pay attention to what they say is when they say a game is bad or problematic, which means its too complex for their small minds.

You also have to remember a large majority of these so-called journalists are English and Gender-studies majors who couldn't find any other job and don't like the medium. In the past, the press were enthusiasts, they genuinely loved games and playing them and you could count on them for decent reviews, because they talked about gameplay. Now it gets a bad grade because it doesn't have enough niggers or women or trannies or faggots in them. Who gives a fuck? Also it seems no one is fighting for Asian protagonists, so I guess they've gotten the privilege of being white.

The fact that they think they have any power is fucking laughable. The only thing the publisher will do, especially if they understand the market, is issue a half-assed apology and do nothing. Because Kingdom Come: Deliverance has proved that the gaming press is utterly useless. You can black-ball a game, call the creator the worst things in the world, and it will still sell amazingly, beyond any shit coverage they can do.

Here's a challenge: Have a major gaming outlet cover a game for a week. Wait a week. Have the top twitch streamer cover a game for 25 minutes. Which will sell more copies? (Hint: It isn't the gaming outlet).



Its because they know they are irrelevant and are a few years away from being out of a job. The ESA conducted a survey and found that only 2 to 3% of people who buy games do so out of games journalism, and this is vastly decreasing. Most people who bow to them have the same progtard politics. And those that don't, it truly doesn't matter. Time and time and time again they've been proven to be irrelevant and completely out of touch with their consumer base. More studios are realizing this, hence Bethesda blackballing outlets because they know nobody gives a fuck and it will cost them nothing.

Journalists are completely at the mercy of the publishers. When the day comes there are enough popular streamers and personalities on YouTube to go around, they're going to be pushed away like the trash they are. The only people who read them are stupid progtard faggots who don't play games and gamers to mock the shit out of them.

Also if this cunt can't handle getting teabagged in a game, she should just lock herself in her house because this stupid bitch can't handle reality.

SJWs pulled the same with The Witcher. Trying to convince Polish devs that medieval Poland was full of precious POCs and the devs knew nothing about the history of their own country. Their obsession with inserting themselves into medieval European culture stems from the fact that they were back in Africa chucking spears while Europeans were building huge civilizations. The Sub-Saharan African cultures that did make progress were few and far between. The new trendy narrative is that they were here in North America along with the Natives or even before they arrived from Asia. So anybody who might like to make a game about Native American history will likely feel the same wrath if Africans aren't right there along with pre-contact Natives.

Video game journalism is indeed a joke. People have a laugh reading these stupid articles. Because they are hilarious. The constant virtue signalling and crying over women being virtually raped and boobs being too big does not help give you any credibility as a journalist. They expected this to become a real branch of journalism and be as respected as other branches. Maybe there was a time when they might have earned a place of respect. But it's too late because they ruined the whole thing for everybody. It's a big joke being ran by people who just want to insert their agenda into it and will aggressively attack anyone who disagrees. That's the direct opposite of journalistic integrity.

This lady's behavior is cultural appropriation.

I'm completely serious. Tea-bagging has been an accepted part of online gaming culture for over two fucking decades now. This woman isn't a gamer and has no interest in gaming beyond thinking that writing puff pieces about it is an easy career. She may as well walk into a stone-age indigenous village somewhere in South America and accuse all the men of being eye-raping misogynists just because the women don't cover their breasts, even though that's the way they've lived for 5,000 years.

Sound like a ridiculous comparison? Well so is the progressive stack, she can have a taste of her own medicine. Besides, moral authoritarians have a history of doing that plenty to indigenous cultures when they call it Christianity.

These people haven't been journalists or gamers for the past 8-10 years. These are gender studies and English lit majors who couldn't find a job writing for Teen Vogue or some shit. They have little to not interest in games that don't pay them money to promote. So instead, they write these articles that are barely about games, gaming culture and gamers themselves. There are rarely interesting or positive stories on gamers, just a dime a dozen articles about how shit is problematic, pushing their own agenda and politics at the expense of the profession.

The problem with doing this is that the core audience, people who buy and play games, have largely abandoned gaming journalism as anything but a huge joke. And this isn't gamer gate or shit like that. This is the average person who buys games. The ESA did a study and found basically only 2-3% of people base their purchases off their reviews. This shrinks daily. Their only audience are people with their politics who don't play games. People don't even visit or read their shit anymore to mock it, they just take screencaps of the page and point and laugh. The profession is dying out. Not to mention CD Projekt doubled down, with a lot of their art for Cyberpunk showing scantily clad latex women. They know what the people want and don't give a fuck

GTA V, a 'problematic game' where you kill hookers and wantonly murder, torture and do misogynistic shit just hit 6 billion in revenue. It has become the MOST profitable piece of entertainment. It beats all books, movies, music, everything. And that's despite their criticisms. Its only a matter of time before they don't even get review copies, that's for YouTubers and Streamers. In fact, you could probably make a movie like Glengarry-Gelnross with video game journalists because that's where these losers are headed

They'd call it a ridiculous comparison right before turning around and causing a big stink about something comparably unimportant, like drag shows or some shit. "ur shitting on queer culture!!" or something

The devs of the game accused of being the unnamed game decided to have some fun.

This is the perfect response: mockery. It will also demonstrate these people have no power or pull, further putting the 'gaming journalist' towards absolute uselessness. I applaud them for the reaction and am glad more people are standing up to these stupid faggots.

Why does she play videogames for a living? It's like a batter walking off the field because the catcher was bad-mouthing him to distract him from the pitch. "And this is why I hate baseball"

I'm willing to bet most of her reviews consist of watching youtube videos of games and playing walking sims.
