    The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails in sales

    [Horizon Zero Dawn] won numerous awards and sold over 24.3 million units by April 2023, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games

    Horizon Forbidden West received generally positive reviews from critics, and had sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023

    Also, the Israel flag and ”Jewish citizen” are extremely :sus: in this context.

    Convervatism is the new punk rock, that’s why we’re complaining that new media promotes hedonism and Satanism just like Bible thumpers did in the 80s and 90s!

      The difference is 80’s and 90’s conservatives complained about any sexy images as being pornographic smut. The gamegate types only have an issue with hedonism when it’s someone else’s pleasure. Their pleasure, then they better get big booba waifu 24/7 or else it means they’re being oppressed.

          morshupls no you see the corpo actually does make a profit from all the woke sjw pc Karens paying the company money for catering to their frail sensibilities. Why don’t these pc-police sjwnpc wokescolds just buy the game instead of paying money to BlackRock to buy games? Because they hate gaems!

    It’s cool that sexism gives me CPTSD to the point where it hurts to even read this bullshit. And then I feel angry with myself for “letting it get to me”

    I fucking hate these nerds, capital G gamers. All they do is take energy away from real issues and ruin gaming by turning it into edgelord shit.

    No, you losers, games would not be better if they were all waifu porn.

      Thing is these types of people are losing, gaming has opened up into so many different niches and different types of communities. You have more small time indie devs via ich.io making games that are either very artistic in expression or done with the goal of showing the perspectives of different groups, Pagan Autogeny for one (pretty much a game metaphor for transitioning).

      You even have wholesome games, which ‘Gamers’ despise, with he focus of unwinding and relaxing as well as even the major gaming industry realizing including more people into games means more money (yes trite capitalist shit) but hey it gets the ball rolling with having more than just angry depressed buzzcut white man as the protag (mid 2010s action protags anyone?).

      Ecofascism is something we should be incredibly wary of. Just as the Nazis used genuine worries and social issues to present an “alternative socialism” so too will 21st century fascists use the most pressing issues of today to trick people into supporting their toxic ideas.

        Thanks for braving that cesspool to show this. Okay I am more believing now that this is a thing.

        Still not gonna be anywhere near as big as OG Gamer Gate, because this one relies on people already having bought into anti woke propaganda. They don’t have an in with normal people.

          Actually it might. They’re trying to give it an anti corporate spin which might resonate with normal people. The image i posted is very far on the deranged spectrum but others are being a bit more conservative with their messaging trying to say “rich corpos are ruining your media… With woke”

            I mean, maybe, but they still lead with Woke in that messaging and it’s basically indistinguishable from Ben Shapino saying the Barbie movie will fail, only for it to gross over a billion dollars. It’s old hat and people already have an opinion about it.

                I really think it being a one syllable quip helped it become the go to buzzword. Woke as it’s used now was first popularized by black people primarily, a lot of the push against ‘woke’ comes from white nationalists (who are ultimately driving most right-wing discourse today) and they love co-opting any term possible.

                  The one syllable thing is why I also think it’s caught on. SJW was the previous word and it’s largely dead. Too complicated of an acronym and too direct. “Social justice warrior” sounds too cool.

                Their goal is to trick normal people who aren’t (currently) rabid fascists into becoming rabid fascists. After a certain amount of time, the average person realized that PC and idpol were just buzzwords for the far right, so they needed something new. Le Wokisme is probably not even going to last a decade.
