    I just don’t care. Woke. Not woke. Pavlov’s Schrodinger’s woke.

    I don’t care. If the game is good it’s good. If the game is bad then it’s bad.

    Mad shitheads on the internet don’t influence my purchase choices. They just annoy everyone around them. Like militant vegans or hipsters. They’re a nuisance.

      Mainstream gaming, is on aggregate, getting worse and worse over time. Everyone wants to feel empowered to stop that from happening.

      You could punch upward, targeting management of stuidos and publishers.

      You could look inward, and make a commitment to sincerely boycott games from companies that consistely release games in an unfinished state, use dark patterns to exploit gambling addictions for profit, mistreat their staff, etc.

      Or you could punch down, and target LGBT creators, who are largely individual contributors and completely unrelated with any of the root causes of the decline in game quality. But this one is SO much easier than the other two, so maybe you’ll do this one so that you can feel like you’re doing something without really having to do anything. Especially since it confims some things you heard from politicians that need to distract you from how their only policy is to make life better for rich people.
