CHICAGO — Noted free speech defender and unemployed divorced absentee father of two Jacob Fitzgerald has begun calling for all game journalists to be silenced as soon as possible.
Fitzgerald took to Twitter with a large thread of huge multi-paragraph posts calling on his followers as well as Elon Musk to help ensure that game journalists’ voices are never heard again.
“It’s time once and for all we get rid of these game journos from our space. When I come on X the everything app I want to be discussing video games, championing them and making sure free speech is upheld. All these journos want to do is make things about politics and their woke agenda. They need to be silenced. I am calling on @elonmusk to limit the reach of all these game journos infected with the woke mind virus, perhaps even banning them completely so their need to talk politics can no longer get in the way of our free expression.”
Seven tweets into the thread Fitzgerald described how he believes game journalists are complicit in discrimination against what he calls the most persecuted group on the planet.
“We as gamers are the most persecuted group in the history of the world. No one has ever had it worse than us and game journos do everything in their power to continue the discrimination we have faced for generations. Whether it’s their continued uplifting of games with female characters, pushing gay people into our games or trying to gaslight us into thinking a colored game protagonist is a good thing. They threaten us and our way of life and they call us weird while they do so. They are bigots who must be stopped before all of gaming becomes less white and more sinful.”
Twitter owner Elon Musk responded to Fitzgerald’s call to action.
“Looking into it,” wrote the self-proclaimed genius.
Fitzgerald’s followers were fired up by his demand for change.
“Yes, all of this! These game journos are enemy number one to our free speech. All we want is to play and talk about video games without the threat of seeing a minority but they refuse to let that happen. They need to be silenced and their rights taken away,” tweeted user AlphaReichGaming
At press time, Fitzgerald is offering his followers the chance to help his cause by subscribing to his Twitter account for $13 a month.
