Remember the good ole day when nerd didn’t go outside and try and converse with you while playing FUCKING POKEMON GO.

SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE PLAYING A FUCKING GEOCACHE GAME AND BITCHING YOU RAN INTO OTHER PEOPLE.

Speaking of

She made Pokemon Go about misogyny.

She got a game that literally encourages going outside and shows this in all of its advertisements, then complains when people talk to her while playing said interactive game.

Encourages people to interact even, and made out that doing so with women is bigoted. Seriously, can these people get their heads out of the asses, please and thank you. - Purple

my favorite thing about this is it is literally one of these comics

Nothing on the Internet makes me mad, but this genuinely makes me mad and it’s not because of misogyny or gender issues or anything like that.

This makes me mad because it’s SUCH a bad message to send to people with serious social anxiety- People who have a really hard time opening up and making friends.

Pokemon Go is a godsend for people like that. It gives them an immediate icebreaker to spark a conversation.

People who genuinely have a hard time making friends are going to see this article and think “Wow, maybe it’s good I’m not opening up to people.” It may make people with social anxiety think “why bother talking to a person if they’re just going to pretend to be nice to me and then go home and write a newspaper article about how much they hated me?”

Not to mention, that completely out of nowhere line about “who knows what I’d catch if I went with him”. Are you implying he is diseased or something? What the fuck is your problem? What if he READS your article? Don’t you think that’d hurt his goddamn feelings?

I never ever get riled up about anything like this, but fuck you Robyn Vinter. You are a massive, massive douchebag.

This

the audacity.

I wish they’d make a Pokemon Go app but so you don’t have to go outside. Like if you could just catch the Pokemon by moving the avatar in the game around.

And that list is still at least seven years or of date.

my grandma downloaded pokemon go this is so pure

a little blue fella named squirtle.

She sounds like someone who would have tea with professor oak once in a while.

Do it.
