Im not contesting they were wrong. I have multiple times laid out that they tried and failed to make a pop culture reference joke.

Im pointing out the questionable intent of one of the local right wing trolls linking to jezebel claiming the writer "was upset" about a thing which was ultimately a gaffe on their end. Very important that that presentation does not match the tone of the linked article at all.
Hey, buddy, it's okay. We know you don't play video games. We know you can't tell your Cammys from your Kitanas. I'm sorry you got dunked on for literally being the only person overreacting to this thread. Just take a deep breath and calm down, and let's all just post about silly mashups. You just use whatever characters from whatever media you do consume. Here, I'll demonstrate:

"I hope Thor shows up in the next Batman movie!"

See? It's fun! Now you try!

Looks at thread...

Well, so much for having a bit of a laugh.

But fine, if you want to bring politics into it, I don't buy the idea that the left gets special treatment when saying something stupid, as opposed to the right.

The right has had their moments of idiocy when it comes to games, ranging from the "Satanic panic" of DnD, to Fox News stating that Mass Effect was simply about a man having sex with as many women as he could. It's a stupid statement. So when people think that Chun-Li is a MK character, laugh by all means. If it's coming from a left-wing site, it doesn't get special immunity.

Me personally, it's a little idiosyncracy, and not even a big one - this very site had an op-ed that Gears 5 was a "celebration of genocide" for instance, a claim that got me to sign up for a Disquss account because I simply had to respond to such a claim. But have a laugh by all means.

I don't think she deverses special treatment. She made a mistake and it was dumb. I think a right winger misrepresented the article, then chucking in an anecdote about the last female who failed at gaming references speaks to dodgy intent in sharing the story "for a laugh".
