Aisha Tyler (Friends, 24, Archer) has recently been abused for her recent appearance at the E3 gaming show. Now, she hits back in a very interesting way.

[Text: I play.

I’ve played since I was a little kid. 
Since I begged my dad to buy me a Nintendo LCD Donkey Kong, Jr.
Since I blew through three weeks’ allowance playing Defender at the laundromat.
Since you were a twinge in the left side of your daddy’s underoos.

I’ve been a gamer since I made friends with a girl in the 5th grade just to get at her Atari.
Since I missed the bus playing Galaga after school.
Since I missed the start of Return of the Jedi playing Tempest in the theater lobby.

You think you know. You don’t know.

I’ve been a gamer since before you could read.
Since I aced midterms after staying up all night playing Evil Tetris.
Since I became dorm champ at Leisure Suit Larry.
Since I double-wielded on Time Crisis 3 at Fuddrucker’s.

I was a voice in not one, but two major video game titles.
I hosted the Reach Beta tutorial.
I was a Gears of War superfan panelist at ComicCon.
I hosted the Ubisoft presser at E3 2012.
I didn’t do any of it for the money. 
For most I got paid next to nothing, and for some, less than that.

I did it because I love video games.
Because I’ve dreamt since I was a kid of being in one of the games I love.
How many games have you done voices for?
How many cons have you repped at?
Your buddy’s Unreal Tournament garage deathmatch doesn’t count.

I go to E3 each year because I love video games.
Because new titles still get me high.
Because I still love getting swag.
Love wearing my gamer pride on my sleeve.
People ask me what console I play.
Motherfucker, ALL of them.

I get invited to E3 because real gamers know I’m a gamer.
I don’t do it for the money.
I have plenty of money.
I don’t do it for the fame.
Fuck fame.
I do it because I love video games.

I don’t give out my gamertag because I don’t want a mess of noob jackholes lining up to assassinate me on XBL. 
I don’t give a shit what you think about my gamerscore.
I don’t play to prove a point. 
I don’t play to be the best.
I play because I love it.

I play.
I’ve been playing my whole life. 
I’m not ashamed of it.
I don’t apologize for it.
It’s who I am.
To the core.
I’m a gamer.

So to all the haters out there who claim I don’t play;
To the GAF dicks, 
Gamespot trolls, 
To every illiterate racist douchebag on Youtube:
Flame away. Go nuts.
Post every jackass comment your heart desires.
I’ll still be playing when your mom’s kicked you out of her basement
and you have to sell your old-ass console
and get a real job.

For now, I say to you respectfully,
and I mean this from the bottom of my heart,
GFYS”]

She is perfect and I love her.

Fuck whoever is giving her reason to defend herself. Gpo-fucking-y, to a significantly lesser extent.

Ya know honestly If I were her I wouldn’t have wasted the energy to move my finger tips to type all this. People gonna think what ever they want to think regardless. Fuck em and move on. Your real fans got your back.

And so where the fuck was Wil Wheaton and all the other important white men of geekdom defending her when this shit went down?

But Felicia Day gets shit on and everybody comes out to suck her fairy white clit?

Why the fuck did this Black woman not get ANY sort of empathy or defending from anyone????

Oh, I know the answer to that one….

Aisha Tyler belongs in the gaming royal fucking family. Bow the fuck down, and shut your damn mouth about what a “real gamer” is. I love Felicia Day, but she best be bowing down right with me, because this is our queen.
