Big surprise, a lot of people who base their personalities around "remember this old/obscure video game you guys?" are staunchly anti-GG. No clue why it is. Is it because SA and neofag have communities centered around these kinds of games, and their influence has spread to the rest of these communities in general? Or is it something else?
This is kind of what I thought too. They want obscure shit to stay obscure so they can look cool and "sage-like" for knowing about them.
What we need to do is find a way to break their gatekeeping. Make the obscure games more well-known, cause these hipsters to shit their pants when they find out those dirty alt-right 8chan gamers like their favorite games too. I can already think of two ways to accomplish this.
First would be to popularize the Japanese learning threads. Get more anons into learning the language and translating vidya. We don't necessarily need to have people creating translation patches or anything, just being able to understand the games and what they're about. Get more people talking about them and showing interest in them.
Second would be to bring back the /v/ gauntlet. Pull up a list of games for a specific system, have random.org choose a game for you, and play all the way through it. Except we expand on this by adding lesser-known games to lists we already have, and creating lists for old Japanese computers like the PC-98, X68000, etc. I mention those systems because they're a "stronghold" of sorts for these retro-hipsters. Seriously, anytime you see someone who's into those computers you'll fill at least five squares on that bingo card I posted.
You need to do it in such a way where it's not fucking obvious. If you just start outright telling people that there's goons in vidya, they can use that to their advantage by turning you and anyone else bringing up goons into a laughingstock.
I don't know. All I know is that if a goon can screencap/record you and use it to start yet another "haha those dumb gamers amirite?" circlejerk, you're doing it wrong.
