[Quintet]
When the pagehits sink, and the adviews break,
Fear wins out, and the shills partake
We want gamers marginalized
(Skeptic folks are ostracized!)
Pro-Journo posts bought out by SilverLight.

Please belieeeeve our lies, and be led astride,
So you'll really think that we're on your side.
Hatred in your own disguise!
We pretend to empathize!
False-flagging frauds just want to profitize.

As a dev pays up for the entrance fee,
Judges rule with a spiteful glee.
"Honest work is most unwise–
Only FRIENDS!– can win first prize!"
Game-jamming goons all have deceitful ties.

Our review cartel makes a metascore swell,
Tweeting tweets to help them sell.
Crooked press proverbialized.
Buy it for a sick surprise… [evil laughing, transition]

[Duchess]
While editors shriek at the sharehold stake,
Headlines run for their old friends' sake.
Mainstream med'iums sympathize
Softball questions characterize
Backstabbing blogs as the only reasoned side.

[Duke]
Now withhold your cries, if you're male, and white.
Only women may be the ones who're right.
Folks of color might comprise…
[Duchess]
…If they'll *also* demonize,
But if they don't, then their hate's internalized.

[Duke]
As the losers flee where the mods work free,
Neckbeards head for a smoother sea,
Shitlord Hotwheels turned the tide,
One safe place to organize,
Win or lose, they'll watch the fire rise.

[Duchess]
Should you not heed well of the corporate spell,
(Force-fed crap from clickbait hell),
Hipster hacks will proselytize,
It's all indie in their eyes,
Oh yes, it, is–!

[Back to Quintet, repeat first four stanzas]

[Exit Chorus]
If you would Listen, but you won't Believe,
That an ethics code is arbitrary:
It's about, equality
But don't ask, tee-FYC
Everyone knows, they love misogyny…

[Little Leota]
Please donate…please donate…!
Don't forget to hide your 'press credentials'…
If you're joining the mailing list,
Make bank transactions now…
We'd love to 'benefit' (heh) from a 'professional relationship'…(hahaha)
