tweet by geraldo riveraWhether Tyler Robinson faces a firing squad in Utah for the murder of Charlie Kirk, my guess is the accused killer will probably have been motivated more by Halo and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord. The game features Grunts vs Elites. I’m guessing nobody wants to be an elite.

I guess Geraldo of Rivera is more familiar with The Witcher games than Halo games shrug-outta-hecks

    Lol.

    Elites and grunts were on the same side, for the most part.

    And plenty of people wanted to be an elite judging by how popular elite skins were online.

    I think he is assuming Halo was a game where the grunts were good guys and only the elites were evil enemies, you know, because in real life the elite are always so persecuted and made out to be the bad guys by all the lazy poor people. Thats why he says "grunts vs elites," not realizing they were both antagonists as members of a religious zealot alien empire (which was actually coded in such a way as to at least somewhat play into Islamophobia) being fought by the righteous American special-forces-coded protagonist. Seriously I bet he thinks it was a class war styled video game and he's "guessing no one wanted to be an elite" because he thinks they were probably the baddies, made that way by woke game developers to malign the hard working ultra-rich job creator class who the dirty proles will call "elite" as a pejorative.

    Or I dont know, maybe I'm way off and that's not what he's saying, but knowing how this bootlicking wannabe-intellectual chud has presented himself in the past as a warrior for the persecuted rich, it seems to fit with this word salad of ignorance and cringe.

    Geraldo Rivera is almost the name Brazilians say as a joke for Geralt from The Witcher. I instantly thought it was a bit.

    Halo 3 came out when Robinson was four years old, and the series hasn't had a major level of cultural relevance to his cohort.

    Whether Tyler Robinson faces a firing squad in Utah for the murder of Charlie Kirk, my guess is the accused killer will probably have been motivated more by Slime Rancher and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord. The game features pink slimes vs gold slimes. I'm guessing nobody wants to be a gold slime.

    Whether Tyler Robinson faces a firing squad in Utah for the murder of Charlie Kirk, my guess is the accused killer will probably have been motivated more by Bloons Tower Defense 6 and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord. The game features monkeys vs bloons. I'm guessing nobody wants to be a bloon.

    Reading the tweet it looks like he misunderstood what "political discord" means and thought it meant more like political conflict. I think he's trying to say this was a dumb brainwashed kid lost in the fantasy of video games rather than any substantive political ideology.

    But even that is an argument like 30 years out of date. Dude thinks he's Tipper Gore trying to ban Mortal Kombat.

    So in this sick fantasy your grandma slaves form a pact with an elder god who summons demons that steal your cookie production, or so it seems. It actually allows you to hoard more cookies, thus proposing that witchcraft and pacts with Satan can be used for profit.
