    Lol, at first I thought this meant Riot Games. I think most players of League or Valorant are too busy throwing slurs at each other to leave the house and protest anyway.

    And blaming video games again?

    This is France. A nation that can barely go a decade without a major protest.

    I’m now imagining Louis XVI weakly flailing his hands about, complaining that the Jacobins were driven to their cause because of all the violence they were exposed to while hosting LAN parties.

    Maybe the real disagreements between Robespierre and Danton later on were regarding which machine was best, the Station de Jeu or the Fboîte. Some stragglers saying neither and it was something called “Ordinateur”.

    (Apologies for my poor translations, French friends. Apologies also for making light of the situation. I know it’s serious. I hope you’re all safe.)

      Jacquard loom vs those crummy looms without cards that only losers use because they’re a bunch of filthy casuals.
