     Destiny’s and JonTron’s antipathetic discoursing reproduce hegemonic gamer subjectivity as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their behavior exemplifies an argumentative style that has accrued such infamy that it has earned a telling moniker: “Debate bros,” named for their hyper-masculine, quick-witted, aggressive sophistry, engage in strategic maneuvering attuned to the norms of hegemonic gamer culture.]
