One Angry Gamer

One Angry Gamer was a gaming news journalism website, created by William "Billy D" Usher, that emerged during the apex of the GamerGate controversy, claiming to offer "all the latest gaming news without remorse". It started as a news website dedicated to siding with gamers, but had since become an amalgamation of various negative gamer stereotypes. After Usher left the site in 2021, most of his far-right content was deleted, and a new team of staff attempted to take the website to the far-left. After failing to gain a new audience of readers, the site was put on sale on June 16th 2022, and now exists as a generic, spammy blog.

Back Then
Note: This is about Billy D. Usher and the old team at OAG, whose articles got deleted in 2021.
 * 1) Extreme right-wing and American nationalist political bias. Nearly anything that has any kind of leftist overtone is dismissed as "leftist propaganda" or "SJW trash". This same mentality has led them to mock or insult anything or anyone with leftist or centrist ideologies, regardless of context.
 * 2) Billy D. Usher, whose experience with the SJW bloggers clique has left him with a serious case of siege mentality, is a former member of the infamous "Game Journo Pros". At times, Usher can be rather distrustful, unsympathetic, and blunt, with a black-and-white worldview and excessive paranoia causing him to lash out at anything with the slightest hint of "SJWism" in it, and he does not hesitate to make racist, sexist, and/or homophobic remarks.
 * 3) *He also mocks people that don't side with him when they are hit by censorship, most notably appabend, whom he laughed at in an entire article when he was hit with a takedown by Sony for discussing the situation of The Last of Us.
 * 4) Usher has a heavy obsession with sexual content in gaming, sometimes to the point where it gets disturbing. Examples include:
 * 5) *Writing articles promoting nude mods for various games.
 * 6) *Unironically using the hashtag #BonerCulture to criticize games that don't feature female characters with high sex appeal or revealing clothing. Mortal Kombat 11 was a prime example of this.
 * 7) *Making an article dedicated entirely to how a character in Dead or Alive 6 can have her bra bust open during combat.
 * 8) *Constant criticism of decisions to censor or remove sexual content in localized Japanese games, even if it involves underaged girls.
 * 9) *What used to be the "Collectible Gear (ads)" section on their website often promoted items of a sexual nature such as "breast mousepads" and figures with suggestive poses and/or clothing. It has been since replaced with regular work-safe ads.
 * 10) Had no issues with lying if it furthers their views. One notable example is mentioning how Blizzard banned two players from Overwatch for playing exclusively "as a straight white male character" (specifically Torbjorn), despite their own article on that topic saying nothing regarding the character's race or orientation and even having video evidence of one player being rather disrespectful and throwing the match when someone else picked Torbjorn.
 * 11) They seemd more concerned with clickbaiting, stirring controversy, or "rustling jimmies" than actually sharing news, often digging for scraps trying to find any number of reasons for people to be outraged about something.
 * 12) Despite originally claiming to be for ethical journalism, they had no problem with constantly stressing heavily-opinionated articles.
 * 13) Usher would often pick fights with people who provide criticism towards his articles on Twitter, even if it's meant to be constructive, which, aside from showing that he cannot handle criticism, goes to show how immature he really is.
 * 14) Most of the audience consists of the PC Master Race. They often insult console gamers, accusing them of aiding social justice by using consoles. Like Usher, they are paranoid, aggressive and use slurs.
 * 15) In light of the George Floyd protests, they released a now-deleted article called "Traitors of America", which is a list of every company or person who posted anything showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which they somehow consider "traitorous". The problem is that many of the people and companies on this list aren't even American, which they acknowledged but justified by saying that they "cater to and influence the American (consumer) audience".
 * 16) *One Angry Gamer ended up getting banned from 4chan for spamming the link to the list over and over, and proceeded to complain about it on Twitter. You know you screwed up when not even 4chan wants to deal with you.
 * 17) *Ironically, Cloudflare (a website security service that offers DDOS protection) was on the list despite the site itself using Cloudflare.
 * 18) *This was speculated to have been the death knell for the Usher era of One Angry Gamer, as in September rumors circulated that Usher was shutting the site down. Instead, the site is going under new management.
 * 19) Despite claiming to be anti-censorship, Usher praised Alabama for censoring an Arthur episode featuring a gay rat wedding in a now-deleted article.

Post-Usher
Note: This talks about after Usher left.
 * 1) Ever since the new writers came on board in 2021, including J. Neira, the site has gone from the far-right to the far-left. in a recent article "What It Was Like Backing Sunshine Manor on Kickstarter During a Dark Election", they called Donald Trump "a fascist".
 * 2) In addition, they no longer allowed people to post comments on the site, which may have been a hint that the new staff couldn't be able to handle criticism.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) To their credit, they sometimes covered news that other websites don't. Whether this is good or bad was a case-by-case basis.
 * 2) They had criticized the actions of certain right-wingers including censorship-happy Christian Extremists (which they dubbed Christian Justice Warriors), and even criticized Donald Trump when he discussed violent video games with some AAA developers.
 * 3) The Usher team was pro-GamerGate and, even if they took it too far, were against SJWs and the regressive left and had rightfully criticized genuine moments of SJW nonsense.
