In defense of Bob Chipman aka moviebob

Bob Chipman is right now my favorite movie critic and pop culture pundit. For those of you who don't know who he is Bob is movie critic, video game commentator, and pop culture pundit. His current shows MovieBob Reviews and Really That Good are on his own youtube channel, along with his short-lived political show American Bob and the original 100+ episodes of The Game Overthinker. His 8 year stint with the Escapist produced two really great shows Escape to the Movies and The Big Picture available at the Escapist Movie youtube channel. His current work for screwattack.com includes The All-New Game Overthinker and In Bob We Trust. While I don't always agree with him (for instance the recent James Bond film Spectre I liked it and he didn't) but more often I do find myself agreeing more often than I don't, and even I don't agree with him I understand his point of view. I will say that on twitter Bob is very outspoken and that probably got him fired from the Escapist along with their pro-GamerGate stance that has pretty much ruined that site. And yeah he was pretty nasty with lot of those shit garling fuckwits (yeah I stole that from his Pixels review/rant) but so was I and a lot of others. In my honest opinion Bob has became an even greater film critic who is brutally honest with reviews now free of the Escapist his epic review/rant on Pixels has gotten over 2 million views on youtube. His new show In Bob We Trust which is spiritual successor to The Big Picture has gotten better. But yet Chipman is constantly pounded by other youtubers who don't agree with his reviews and political views and getting kind of annoying to be wanting to watch one his shows and keep getting shows that are so called "take downs" of his shows, like I care what some pop culture terrorist says or some moron who thinks his review on this movie was too harsh. The only thing I can say to them is: GET A LIFE. Chipman doesn't owe you a fucking debate, or response to your vids. I've never gotten a tweet back from him or a comment from him and I don't expect to anymore than I expect President Obama to call me. He's got a life why don't you shitheads get one of your own?

I'm not a gamer. I'm a player.

OK I think need to start trying to blogging more. Where I can rant and rave at my own pace and under my rules meaning foul language and harsh and brutal generalizations. So consider yourself warned. I hate Gamergate. These fucking assholes are worse than ISIS. They claim they want "objective gaming journalism" and "less social justice warriors ruining their fucking stupid right-wing neo-con war propaganda games like Call of Duty and want RPGs be less inclusive with LGBT characters and love interests and same sex marriage, and don't want better treatment of women players, characters, devs, and so on. Basically they want to shut up people who have legit criticisms and act like whiny little bitches who will piss and moan that the mean old feminists want to take away their video games. Which is a huge load of bullshit. These clowns have ruined great video game websites and driven any talk about inclusion of minority characters not acting stereotypes or to be more respectful to those marginalized by society to private messages or groups. They also don't games to be about real world issues because it might cause these cretins to actually think about other people that aren't middle age straight white guys (of which I am one for the record) to think about how we treat others instead of blasting away a Russian or a brown skin terrorist, while yelling every insulting slur into their headsets while threatening to rape every woman in your family. And if you beat some asshole s/he might call your local SWAT team and try to have you killed. Now while all shit happened long before Gamergate it had been boiling for years. Gamergate just gave it a name, an unoriginal name by a right-wing actor Adam Baldwin. To say I no longer like Adam Baldwin is understatement. You're piece of shit in my book and if Joss Whedon ever does a sequel to Serenity I will only see it if Baldwin's character gets a nasty death scene or he's not in it. Gamergate is about bigotry against women, people of color, progressives, and people who just want to have fun with games. They are pop culture terrorists. Now it's being used by conservative male supremacists as a recruiting tool to brainwash a bunch of morons into serving advance their evil agenda. So I now call myself a player, because why would any compassionate rational human being want to be in that club. So in short: FUCK ADAM BALDWIN! FUCK GAMERGATE AND IT'S HATE CAMPAIGN.
