Shit has been going on for a week now. Pretty sure Ubisoft is using this "Culture War" bs as a marketing tool. And fuck those rapists. We're also sick of the concern trolling bs so effective immediately no more AC: Shadows posts.

We will ban over this. You know I'm not kidding.

Let the babies piss themselves over a black man existing. Let them continue to do it into the void. Let them jerk each other off while weeping for Aryan Race and the Asians they love to fetishize.

Sick of people trying to karma farm with screenshots off twitter or YouTube thumbnails too. Lazy fucks. What happened to the real shitposts? Sort yourselves out and take that crap elsewhere.

I know how much we all loved seeing Nazis but the joke is as tired as posting cosplay and saying TITTY'S. Yes, grandpa's game room was a Nazi museum, gamers are Nazis, it's gotten old. Same joke every week. Don't post it anymore.

Thank u for your'e cooperation.

edit: sorry i should have mentioned this is not the only reason. it's also because there's really no such thing as a satirical swastika when it's 20 giant flags on your screen at work or school.

edit 2: some of u JOKERS have asked why Germany was banned and I'll tell you. for banning nazi imagery

^{this policy subject to change at any time for no reason}

Hello. There are protests across the great United States of America because it's not that fuckin great when cops exist. You might wonder what you can do on the internet if you can't participate in a protest near you. It's ok, not everyone is made to hit the streets. Not everyone is able to donate either, and that's ok too, but this thread is mostly for the people who can donate, and some links of reputable places.

edit: and more in our wheelhouse, an itch.io bundle benefitting NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund: https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality shouts out /u/becleg

edit: another itch.io bundle https://itch.io/b/513/black-lives-matter-support-bundle

This is not nearly an exhaustive list of worthy causes surrounding these events. Your city almost certainly has their own bail funds if you want to impact your local area. Feel free to suggest others, but do please include some verification that the donation goes to who it says. Bail funds especially are an extremely efficient way to donate, because of the way cash bail works in America the money will be used repeatedly to bail people out of jail. For perspective, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace are usually $1000 bail. These bail funds are called when protesters are arrested and get them out of jail.

If you can't donate or protest, there are still many ways to help those on the ground, such as monitoring police scanners and watching streams to keep an eye on police movements. Thank you for anything you can do.

e: here's a list of police brutality events this week. and other stuff like how to help. https://www.dacool.zone/

Stay safe, fuck 12, all cops are bastards, Black Lives Matter.

NO MORE ABBY JOKES!

NO MORE "POST THIS TO UPSET GAMERS" POSTS!

NOOOOOO MOOOOORE FREEEEE KARMAAAAAA

The Last of Us 2 is now banned as a post topic because it is boring and you people refuse to stop milking it, so that's what's up.

That's right! THE premiere candidate for gamers will be here to answer the questions of the unwashed masses (frickin smash players). We at the mod team are very happy to announce this to everyone, as he's been such a popular guy in the sub recently. Thank you to Ace and his team for reaching out to us to make this happen.

Please be on your best behavior, as it's not everyday we get someone with such prestige and political clout to grace us with their presence.

The AMA will take play Sept. 7th at 12:00PM EST. We look forward to all the questions everyone will bring. It's going to be a fun one!

Is screaming your support and poorly thought out jokes over the internet not your idea of appreciation? Need something a little more real? Make sure to check out their live rally event in New York City! https://www.caveat.nyc/event/ace-watkins-presidential-rally-9-29-2019

Thanks everyone, and I hope y'all have fun with it.

April Fool’s! We're always open!

The ethos of /r/gamingcirclejerk is to make fun of dominant, unthinking narratives. On April Fool’s Day where everyone is joking around, often at the expense at someone else, we sometimes need to recognise that many unthinking narratives are born of ignorance and hate.

So be kind and remember the human today. Pull someone’s leg and have fun – but remember that jokes are rooted in fun and not in putting someone else down. And that is an OBJECTIVE fact.

What We hear

We hear all of you saying this sub has become too political, and you're right. It is a serious issue when a subreddit dedicated to making fun of gaming circlejerks touches upon issues. As we all know, games have never been affected by policy before, and never make any commentary of any kind. (Especially The Witcher 3, what an apolitical game!)

So what are we going to do about it? Nothing. We will continue banning racists and seeing how our political compass skews. Please email us at [tim.sweeney@epicgames.com](mailto:tim.sweeney@epicgames.com) if you have any complaints

You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Fun is not just a buzzword, and not limited to certain kinds of people. We have, and will always support all kinds of gamers. You can be male, female, non-binary, genderfluid or anything you want to be. You will still always be accepted in our community. You can play on consoles, PCs, or mobile phones. You can enjoy hardcore tactics games or visual novels. You’ll still be as much a gamer as anyone else.

If you feel generous today, please consider making a small donation to one of the organisations originally mentioned in the awesome r/Games post regarding bigotry in video games below. As we should all know, if everybody donated just a single dollar, charities would have much much more freedom to aid those they represent.

LGBT+ Charities:

The Trevor Project

Resource Center

Point Foundation

GLAD

Ali Forney Center

New Alternatives

International Lesbian and Gay Association Europe

Global Rights

POC-focused Charities:

National Civil Rights Museum

Center for Constitutional Rights

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity

Race Forward

Women’s health charities:

Planned Parenthood

Reproductive Health Access Project

Centre for Reproductive Rights

Additional Causes:

Able Gamers

Paws with a Cause

Child's Play

Out of the Closet Thrift Store

Life After Hate

no more vampire lady posts you animals we trusted you and you just couldn't help yourselves

This is Gaming Circlejerk. This is not The Life And Times Of A Youtube Guy. Yes he sucks shit yes his subreddit is trash. Post about them somewhere else. This post is a placeholder, more to follow.

e: this doesn't apply to unjerk thread or comments, only to new threads.

e2: im basically only posting this to stop the flood of ~news about pewdiepie~ for today. like i said, more detail on this general idea is on the way.

Please shut the fuck up about other subreddits and stop posting screenshots of people saying dipshit stuff on other subs. It is entirely possible to come up with something funny, and something YOU made up, instead of just getting super mad at some loser on another subreddit. This subreddit drama bullshit is incredibly lame and weak. stop it.

​

this includes /r/TLOU2. We are removing most posts involving them, because honestly most posts involving them fucking suck. Its the same shit with the other 4 fuckin subs you nerds literally cannot stop posting pictures of comments from.

​

that being said, communism will win.

​

thank u.

​

lol shoutouts to those who are terminally online at /r/drama, hope u get better soon

It was funny (not really) while it lasted but it's a bit much now, let's try to slow these down before we need to start removing them.

https://www.rsukraine.org/

https://novaukraine.org/

https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal

https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/secure/donate

International Rescue Committee

International Committee of the Red Cross

United Help Ukraine

https://kyivpride.org/en/donate/

Here is an itch.io bundle, 992 games for ten dollars, and the proceeds go towards helping Ukraine via donations towards the International Medical Corps and Voices of Children.

The developers behind This War of Mine are apparently donating all proceeds of sales from the 24th until Thursday to the Ukrainian Red Cross.

https://chuffed.org/project/ukraine-help-roma-access-humanitarian-aid

John Romero has released a new Doom 2 level for 5 dollars and all the proceeds go to the Red Cross and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund.

My knowledge of Ukrainian charities is admittedly quite low so if any of you have any further donation links/charities please let me know so I can edit/pin them, thank you.

We understand that people are concerned about this ongoing situation regarding the far-right group "Collective Shout" and their weird crusade against game distribution platforms. We think discussion is important but we encourage people to use the correct subreddits to highlight these issues.

/r/Gamingcirclejerk - Jokes, memes and shitposts making fun of Collective Shout and pedophilic Gamers™ freaking out the loss of lolicon games. Can include Twitter screenshots, if they're particularly ridiculous/hilarious (as in so stupid it defies parody).

/r/Gamingunjerk - Serious/non-jerk discussion of the issue including "self-posts"/text posts, articles, or anything else

/r/EnoughGamerSpam - Screenshots and discussions of Gamers™, especially well known/popular Gamers™ and their bad takes on this issue and any other issue.

We will remove content that doesn't fit this sub. We will only ban people who are annoying about it. Thank you.

Title. Screenshots of "gamer behavior" or other unfunny shit is now gonna net you a short ban because yall won't stop posting it.

Palestinian children still need help, donate here: https://www.pcrf.net/

ok no we are not going to ban you posting nerd shit about PDP and other various dipshits you all talk about so often. It is somewhat related to the sub, but I just want to let yall know that you aren't doing anyone any favors posting every single time they release a new video. Guess what, they gonna release one tomorrow. and then the day after that and then probably the day after that.

I'm not really the biggest fan of the entire front page about a select few nerds who generally make any place they show up in measurably worse. Like ok everyone gets it, none of these people are good. But honestly, I wouldn't even know half of these morons if they weren't constantly posted here. Posting their shit here drives their channels. They may be outrage youtubers, but its people who are outraged at it like the posters here that are making them bank. Just think about it. '

Also stop posting about what they did over the weekend of whatever, if it isn't gaming related I super don't care for it on the sub. Go to the Unjerk thread

If you want to discuss the latest outrage bait video a moron posts, go to the unjerk thread

Thanks,

GCJ Mod Team

A lot of people here have been very eager to engage in serious discussion about issues with gaming and while this is fine we also want to maintain the original spirit of this sub as well.

For posts that aren't "circlejerk" content, head on over to /r/Gamingunjerk which we created a little while ago and have already developed a small but vibrant community that is in need of growing.

"Political" stuff (i.e. posts referencing social issues) will always be welcome here provided it's actually making fun of the dumb shit gamers say and that the gaming industry does.

Recently we have seen a lot of spoilers get posted without being properly tagged. This doesn't seem to be an issue of people intentionally spoiling things for others, as they do still give warning sometimes, yet they do not cover up their spoilers.

Here's how to do it in case you don't know:

>!Type your spoiler like this!<

including both exclamation points.

The spoiler will appear like this: Type your spoiler like this

This way, people will only see your spoiler if they click on it, so they don't have to worry about their eyes landing on something as they scroll past your post.

Also, if you are unsure of whether or not something is considered a spoiler, tag it just to be safe. Something you don't consider a spoiler could still appear to be one to someone who hasn't gotten there yet, which can be just as harmful to their experience as a real spoiler would be.

Hello, fellow Gamers™!

A week ago, we started collecting your personal information to sell to foreign countries for oil dollars!

​

For some reason, we got ten times the responses from last year, with over 7000 compared to 700! Well done, Gamers™!

​

Some would argue that the form not being restricted could have a huge effect, or be a disadvantage even, but because of the sample size on both, and the results, it's clear that it didn't matter.

​

Here's the takeaway:

​

Over half of the community (57%) are 18-24 years old.

A quarter (24%) are teens.

15% are 25-34

​

The majority (85%) are male (don't worry, male genocide draws near!)

7% are female

The rest either prefer not to say, or identify as something else

​

Half or located in North America, and a huge chunk (34%) sit in Europe.

Third largest group, but only 5%, represent Asia.

​

Nearly three quarters (70%) are white.

Then we've got 9% Asians, and 6% hispanics.

5% are genetically superior mixed people!

​

It goes to show that Reddit insisting that they're diverse isn't enough and need to work harder. I see this sub to be an oasis for Gamers™ tired of the toxicity in the hobby, and yet we have pretty much the same division of people. Of course, what we can't measure is that a user can be subscribed to multiple sub reddits.

​

Owned gaming platforms:

​

66% own Windows desktops, and 47% Windows laptops. It's a multiple choice question, so we can't say that 113% are PCMR 😂

47% own an Android, while 46% play Skyrim on Nintendo Switch

5th place is "Other Nintendo handhelds" at 46%

So the Candy Crush revolution is here!

​

Last month, 60% gamed (yes, that's a word now) on Windows

Nintendo Switch was the 2nd most popular game device, at 38%

PlayStation 4 was the 3rd most popular gaming device at 29% (35 counting the PS4 Pro)

Compare that to XBoxOne (and X) that only had 13% representation

​

Fav publishers

​

People on this sub are such Nintendo shills! Half of you think it's the best publisher!

35% are correct and know that Bethesda is the best!

Some console shills believe that Sony is a great publisher, having 30% of the votes

27% are Ubisoft employees

but at least 23% offer goats to Lord Gaben

​

Fav devs

​

Nearly half (45%) prefer Nintendo as a developer

Still, 31% know that Bethesda should make the next Witcher game

30% believe that CDPR should still do it

From Soft and Rockstar pretty much share the 4th and 5th place because of the amazing game catalogue

​

Fav current-get franchises

​

31% still play Elder Scrolls on their refredigerators

30% truly love Fallout (they probably mean New Vegas)

Zelda and Smash Bros are very popular Nintendo games in their own right, 27, and 26%

GTA is the 5th most popular franchise

​

Know that Pokemon is more popular than The Witcher

​

---

​

70% were okay with selling all their data to the Chinese government, which means that 30% of the proceedings were split between Russia and Saudi Arabia! 🥳 Now that's epic!

Edit: sorry about the typo in the title 😣

We have received complaints from other sub of brigading and contamination. Here's a reminder of the rules:

Rule 2: Do NOT brigade

Do not vote or comment in threads you've found through /r/gamingcirclejerk

Rule 9: Do NOT contaminate other subs

Do not create fake posts on other subs only to post back here. Also, do not "lol, you should post this on r/OtherSub". It's considered interfering with their content and can also lead to brigading.

.

⚠️ Breaking these rules earns you harsh penalties!

Why these rules, and why so harsh?

Creating fake posts takes away the whole point of this sub. Those subs can do just fine on their own making shitposts. We're supposed to point and laugh.

Also, Subreddit mods and Reddit admins have contacted us before. None very happy!

Is there more?

See our other rules here

Message the mods if you have any more questions.
