About the only thing missing from this image are the rape meme colours on the clothing, but apart from that it’s the perfect encapsulation of everything that makes GamerGate so obnoxious. Sexist, fatshaming, thinking women can’t be real gamers, steeped in its MRA terminology (“the female imperative”), confusing rape and death threats for criticism. But what’s most striking is the insularity of the “reasoning” behind putting out this image, because it confirms all your worst ideas about GamerGate. Whoever made this surely can’t think this is great propaganda for their side, can they?
