  • The thing that initially got the gamer demographic onto the conservative bandwagon in the first place was when right-wing influencers got them convinced that it was the feminists that were coming for their games instead of the conservative and religious activists that had spent like 2 decades railing against heavy metal, D&D, rap and video games. Like 5 years before GamerGate the biggest gamer boogeyman was Jack Thompson. Maybe if someone finally actually did come for their treats for real there’d be another shift.

    It’d sadly also lead to a lot of adult content creators getting financially hurt which still sucks though :/

    The porn and violent video game bans are bad enough, but it gets worse. As I understand it, the plan goes something like this

    1. Make porn illegal
    2. Define anything LGBTQ-related as pornographic, thus essentially criminalising being visibly queer (the real point of the porn ban)

    Some have warned it could get even worse

    1. Define exposing children to pornography as CSA
    2. Apply the death penalty to CSA crimes
