When they're not writing form emails to companies advertising on popular gaming sites, GamerGaters, it seems, like to dabble in amateur songwriting.
It appears that the GamerGate hub 8chan.co is bringing together singers, musicians, and budding Weird Als lyricists to create GamerGate-themed song parodies from a slew of popular songs. It's all happening through a shared Google Doc, where people can contribute and add lyrics to make their own parodies to upload to Soundcloud or other sites.
I can't describe these works of art in words that will honor them enough, so please just listen.
(Note: If you're wondering if they decided keep the N-word in a Dr. Dre parody while substituting all other lyrics, the answer is yes. Yes, they did.)
Have a great weekend everyone.
"Douchebags" (The the Ducktales theme song)
Life is like a hurricane here in Kotaku
Corruption and cowardice, it's a fakku!
Might have no ethics
Might hate your readers
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
Every day you're out there being
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
Tales made up of total bullshit
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
D-d-d-danger! Watch behind you!
There's a sponsor out to drop you
What to do, just act like giant
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
Every day you're out there being
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
Tales made up of total bullshit
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
You should all be
flipping burgers you
Douchebags! Woo-oo!
"It Ends Now!" ("Let It Go!" from Frozen parody)
The haters aren’t missed in my mailing list,
Not a gamer to be seen,
A cartel of journalism,
With a distinctly far left lean.
The nerds are howling like they think that they have rights,
And it looks like it’s finally time to strike.
"Don't let them speak, just hit ignore!
Virgin neckbeards? Such a bore!
These games are lame, but we need clicks
To preach po-li-tics…"
It ends now, It ends now,
Something’s wrong with your minds!
It ends now, It ends now,
Disagreeing is a crime!
I don't care,
What you have to say,
Let the nerds rage on,
You’re all misogynists anyway!
It's funny how a nice warm hugbox,
Makes everything seem great
Forget the gamer losers,
And their stupid Gamergate!
It's time to be a megaphone
To brainwash all the minds I own,
No right or wrong, no neutrality, I'm free!
It ends now, It ends now,
I’m morally superior to you
It ends now, It ends now,
now read this biased Polygon review!
Me and my friends
Are here to stay
Let the nerds rage on!
My cronies post their articles with one agenda
“The gamers are all dead, they’re misogynists, they are done!”
GamesJournoPro’s has changed the industry at last
We’re never going back
Good games are in the past
It ends now, It ends now,
This battle’s good as won!
It ends now, It ends now,
Games should not be fun!
Me and my friends
Will have our way
We’re games journalists,
The news is whatever we want to say!
"Misogyny, Misogyny, Missogynee" ("Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins parody)
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-ee,
I'm a victim, GamerGate's about me
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-oo,
I get paid when I claim,
harrassment from you.
I must be the focus,
Cause I'm "literally who"!
Now anti-gg'ers have hacked and they've doxxed,
they've swatted folk, and got them fired from their jobs,
But we'll just continue (there's stretch goals to sell),
While claiming that GamerGate's "poisoned the well".
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-ee,
There's no problem with the journo industry,
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-oo,
Gawker's within its rights to bully you.
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-ee,
The true issue's something that I fail to see,
Misogyny, misogyny, misogyn-oo,
If I can tweet loud enough, they won't hear you!
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen parody
Does it harm real life
Or it's just fantasy
Fems say the latter
They say it's all just misogyny.
Open your eyes
Just play the games and you'll see
They aren't sexist. It's just a hobby.
Because anyone plays, boy or girl
Black or white, spread worldwide
Anyway they put it, it's all plain bullshit to me. To me.
Radfems, subvert the industry
Made a patreon and then blame
Real world sexism on the games
Radfems, they don't even play
They just want everything to be Gone Home.
Radfems, ooh
All they do is bitch and cry
If their views have merit they should debate
The other side, The other side, but they just say we don't matter.
It's too late, for the other groups
They took down Occupy
and fucked over atheism
But listen, everybody, we still can win
We just gotta keep on exposing all the truth
Radfems, Ooh (Anyway the games go)
We just wanna play
And we'll fight to keep them games alive
Feminist:
I see the character is a white cis-het man
Misogyny! Misogyny! Check your privilege do it!
Action and complexity
Very very triggering!
(Mario Mario) Mario
(Mario Mario) Mario
It's a me Mario
The Mysognno!
Gamer:
I'm just a gamer playing on my Wii
Chorus:
He's just a gamer, he loves the industry
Won't you denounce this monstrosity!
Gamer:
Go away. Let me play. Leave my games alone.
Feminists:
Mysogy-NO We won't let them go!
Gamer:
Let them go!
Feminists:
Misogy-NO We won't let them go!
Gamer:
Let them go!
Feminists: Misogy-NO We won't let them go!
Gamer: Let them go!
Feminists:
Will not let them go!
Gamer: Let them go!
Feminists: Never never let them go! Never let them go!
No no no no no no NO!
Gamer: Oh Mama Mia, Mama Mia (Mama mia, let them go!)
These radfems will try to censor the industry and /v/, and me!
[If there is a music video for this. This is where the GamerGate logo would appear]
So you think you can stop us and smear us with lies
So you think we'd sit back while you claim that we've died.
Oh you fucked up, yes you just fucked up you hear
Time you got out, time you got out right of here.
(oh yeah, oh yeah)
You'd think it doesn't matter
but I love the industry
I matters to gamers
So I say long live G-G.
anyway the games go.
"#GamerGate" ("Yesterday" by The Beatles parody)
gamergate, all my troubles seemed so far away
then we learned journos use much foul play
yes i believe, in gamergate
suddenly, we're labeled woman-haters on tv
they twist the narrative the people see, oh gamergate came suddendenly
why do they have no integrity, they wouldnt say
i think theres something wrong now i long, for gamergate
gamergate, vidya were such an easy game to play
their thought police is what i won't obey
yes i believe, in gamergate
red-fems try to make a profit out of this, that not okay
i think theres something wrong now i long, for gamergate
gamergate, keep sending emails is our only way
vote with your wallet and gawker will pay
yes i believe, in gamergate
"Deflections" ("Reflections" from Mulan parody)
Look at me
I will never give a bad review
If we're friends or lovers
For bribery
I will sniff your farts
But I see
That gamers are now truly pissed at me
All my shit has gone too far
How can I save my self
I will cry misogyny
And declare that Gamergate is dead, you'll see!
They say I cannot hide
behind these shitty ploys
When will these nerds finally know
that I run
this show
When will these nerds finally know
that I run
this show
"Still Gaming" ("Still D.R.E." by Dr. Dre ft Snoop Dogg parody)
![Still GG and Anon (Guess who's back)
Still, still doing that shit, huh Jim?
[audio splice of jim]
Oh for sure, check it out
[anon]
It's still Game Day, GamerGate. nigga
though we've grown a lot, can't get out of home a lot
'cause when I frequent the sites that I'm known to rock
You hear the typing from the boards when we're on the block
Gamers, they pay homage, but haters say GG fell off
How nigga the last success was "The Adverts"
They want to know if we still got it
They say media's changed, they want to know how we feel about it
[Snoop - singing]
If you ain't up on thangs
[Dr. Dre]
gamergate's is the name, ahead of the game
Still, ain't reach our peak, still with the up with the deets
Still not loving femineests (Uh huh)
Still rock my keyboard with the lights in the keys
Still got love for the games, repping #GG
Still the beat bangs, still doing our thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still
[Chorus:]
[Snoop Dogg]
I'm representing for the gamers all across the world
Still hitting them head shots with my rifle girl
[Dr. Dre]
Still taking my time to take down their fame
And I still got love for the games, it's the Ga-mer-gate [Repeat 2x]](https://img.youtube.com/vi/4gUXmBJWKTo/mqdefault.jpg)

"Gonna Cut 'Em Down" ("God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash parody)
You can write on for a long time
Lie on for a long time, shill on for a long time
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Go tell that journalist liar, go and tell that misogynistic crier
Tell the mocker, the doxxer, the hack writer
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut 'em down
Well, my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the mountain dew
We've been finding all the journalist elite
Lined down the sponsors by 8chan's feet
They spoke to me; better ethics please
I've know what they want, what they really need.
They called my name and my heart stood still
When they said, "Anon, go spread our will!"
Go tell that sold-out liar, go and tell that corruption hider
Tell the mocker, the doxxer, the hackwriter
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut 'em down
You can write on for a long time
Lie on for a long time, shill on for a long time
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Well, you may throw your dox and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark with the corrupted 'mam (ambiguous whether is man [man] or women [madam])
But as sure as God made black and white
Money paid in the dark will be brought to the light
We will write on for a long time
Archive for a long time, Stand up for a long time
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Sooner or later we'll cut you down
Go tell that mainstream liar, go and tell that one-side tumblr
Tell the mocker, the doxxer, the hackwriter
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that gamers' gonna cut you down
"The Games, They're Not Changing" ("The Times, They Are A-Changing" by Bob Dylan parody)
Gather 'round gamers
Because you've been called
Fight the ones who claimed you dead
Pushed you against a wall
And left you no choice
but to give it your all
If your games to you
Are worth savin'
Then you better start emailing
Or you'll fail at it all
For the games, they just aren't changing
Come journos and shills
Who claimed us all dead
Keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
Don't speak too soon
For we play to win
And there's no tellin' who
who could be shillin'
For the gamers now
It seems they could win
For the games, they just aren't changing
Come Boogie, other neutrals
Just please heed our calls
Don't sit on the fence now
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's an email blitz
And it's ragin'
It'll soon take your adverts
And fuck up you all
For the games, they just aren't changing
Come critics and journos
Throughout the land
Just don't criticize
What you can't understand
Cause all your consumers are beyond your command
Your insults are
Rapidly agin'
Please just get some new ones
Then we'll do this again
For the games, they just aren't changing
