About DHH WordBattle Simulator

Pushing back against speech & thought-policing nonsense.

Game Overview

You unleash word attacks in hopes of cancelling your enemy like it's 2018, but the enemy’s health never budges. Instead, your own credibility, hire-ability, and the respect of your peers dwindle with every click.
Then you lose the culture war.
That's it.

FAQ

OOHH so you're a racist, nazi, homophobe, whatever, huh?

No, I'm not. Neither is DHH. You're lucky I'm even addressing this tiresome question. Shut up.

No! You're a nazi fascist!

Calling people nazis, fascists, transphobes, homophobes, racists, etc is a disingenuous smearing strategy.

It's designed to dehumanize people who disagree with you, in the hopes they'll be:

  1. silenced
  2. cancelled/fired
  3. attacked or even murdered in the real world, as we've recently seen.

Further, misusing these words reduces their descriptive power when they're actually necessary.

It's disgusting, and we're all done with it.

How many chances do I get?

You have 9 attacks before your morale collapses. Make em count.

Have you thought about making this open source?

Great idea. It's 95% vibe-coded, but if there's interest and people would like to contribute PRs, I'm all for it.

I found a bug! Or have an idea for an improvement!

Great, ping me on X.
