I’m actually impressed she knows who Zangief is lmao

[u/WowThatsRelevant → u/BladeSerenade]

Or at least her handlers do. Which makes sense, he's a Russian character

[u/comcastsupport800 → u/BladeSerenade]

I'm impressed with how much he looks like Zangief

[u/ruinersclub → u/comcastsupport800]

He looks more like Zangief than the Street Fighter Movie

[u/luker_man → u/ruinersclub]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

[u/Savage_Amusement → u/luker_man]

It’s real to me, dammit!

[u/Publius82 → u/comcastsupport800]

Mini Zangief with no pecs

[u/Chaos_Sauce → u/BladeSerenade]

Yeah, at first I thought, wow, that's an impressively specific pop culture burn. Then I saw a picture and realized it was 100% literal.

[u/VultureExtinction → u/BladeSerenade]

Rather than basing her posts on typical alt-right sources, she apparently reads liberal/progressive social media and uses their insults.

[u/dugefrsh34 → u/BladeSerenade]

She wasn't making a reference to Street Fighter, the guy is/was a legit Zangief cosplayer lol

[u/shoe_owner → u/dugefrsh34]

But you contradict yourself.

[u/Skitz-Scarekrow → u/shoe_owner]

I think that they meant Laura does not know Street Fighter, but you can Google the guy and see that he is a Zangeif cosplayer, and she threw the hobby back at MTG. My explanation is very roundabout though.

Then again, Street Fighter is pretty old at this point. She might know

[u/Dulcedoll → u/Skitz-Scarekrow]

I think if someone had zero idea about who the character being cosplayed was, i wouldn't imagine they'd use the name of the character as an insult because it wouldn't mean anything to them? Id expect a more general description like "street fighter cosplayer" or "some weird little video game cosplayer"

[u/Hardcorish → u/Dulcedoll]

That was my takeaway as well. It'd be very weird to insult someone without fully understanding the insult you're throwing at them.

[u/zerocoal → u/Hardcorish]

It'd be very weird to insult someone without fully understanding the insult you're throwing at them.

They do happen to be masters of acting weird.

[u/Drixislove → u/Skitz-Scarekrow]

"Street fighter is pretty old at this point, she might know"

I regret to inform you that Laura Loomer is only 31

[u/momofdagan → u/Drixislove]

Everyone knows him from Wreck It Ralf

[u/Skitz-Scarekrow → u/Drixislove]

No way.

Edit: how the fuck is she 31????

"No don't make negative comments about appearance!"

Maybe if she wasn't a garbage can of a person, I'd keep my mouth shut.

[u/sofakingdom808 → u/Skitz-Scarekrow]

I see MTG and Zangeif and was slightly excited cause I thought Magic of the Coast is doing a collaboration with Street Fighter and releasing a special edition Street Fighter Planeswalker deck

[u/GranolaCola → u/sofakingdom808]

I’m sure it’s coming. They’ve crossed over with everything else.

[u/dugefrsh34 → u/shoe_owner]

Yeah, I see what your saying. I figured she just read a caption/comments under his cosplay pics or something

[u/joebleaux → u/dugefrsh34]

He looks good, it's a good choice for him

[u/iiiiiiiiiijjjjjj → u/dugefrsh34]

I’ll be honest, that’s probably not easy to resist. Even I’d be intrigued and I’m straight.

[u/Apt_5 → u/iiiiiiiiiijjjjjj]

He is very suited to that cosplay for sure.

[u/iiiiiiiiiijjjjjj → u/Apt_5]

I'm surprised he'd stoop so low.

[u/dlchira → u/BladeSerenade]

[u/PitBullTherapy → u/BladeSerenade]

[u/LoserxBaby → u/BladeSerenade]

Don’t let her face fool you, she’s only 31 and grew up during Street Fighter’s cultural prime

[u/wfsgraplw → u/BladeSerenade]

I was gonna say. She should be good people. Why isn't she good people.

[u/Taco_Taco_Kisses → u/BladeSerenade]

I mean Zangief IS Russian. Russians really pop the GOP's collective cork 🍾

[u/VermicelliOk8288 → u/BladeSerenade]

But is it true!?

[u/AdditionalSink164 → u/BladeSerenade]

Hes a soviet caricature

[u/sorrymizzjackson → u/BladeSerenade]

I’m rather impressed that “the Arby’s between your legs” is so vile and so evocative that I’m throwing up breakfast I haven’t even eaten yet.

[u/Weary_Grape983 → u/BladeSerenade]

Loomer's only 31. So she may have grown up with video games, she just looks like a 60 year old trying desperately to still look 40.
