Gamer’s traditionally have less political sophistication than a dead dog. Recent highly visible gamer moves have included review bombing Helldivers, screaming about not being able to see both labia t the same time in Stellar Blade, and whatever that Sweet Baby/DEI thing I haven’t bothered to look at is. Idk what the scale of this roblox bs is, but i am interested in the phenomena of game rage campaigns where they get extremely self righteously mad over strange, often trivial shit and make it their entire life for a few days. Wtf is happening? Is this echoes of gamegate a decade later?
Games that are woke that didn’t go broke so a good portion of it is a campaign to make them “go broke” to keep the slogan alive. If the anti woke campaign didn’t work, then they start going after other wedge issues like Discord drama and attacking individual members of the studios in an attempt to “cancel” them.
At least that is what I’ve infered from the Helldivers bull. Now SONY and geopolitics are one thing, but the geopolitics actual reason conflicts with support of anti-woke policies and politicians so it gets dimissed because both chuds and liberals tactically agree on hawkish foriegn policy. Same reason chuds and liberals never want to discuss foreign policy when the border topic gets brought up.
It’s a stink tank way of reaching the under 40’s.
