this is how the vast majority of gamers online interact with the medium on a daily basis
even a completely uncontroversial game, a well liked cult hit with a feel good dev story that that isn’t particularly daring or controversial in any way, is pure grist for the endless culture war. there’s no pushing back on it really. this is video games now we made our bed
May 11, 2025 12:45"Video game journalism is a corrupt field pushing agendas when gamers only want real news. Anyway, here's my video that's basically warmed over Rush Limbaugh sound bytes but I say the name of the latest game a lot and the word 'woke' at least fifteen times a minute."
I would say this is all culture now a culture war for everything I’ve seen it with books, movies, comics, the general internet and websites everything is a part of the culture war in real life I have had to hear about family complain about DEI
Everything is also qanon and there is a internet wide induced psychosis in most of the users
Honestly after a week of racist culture war chaff against JRPGs I’ll take regular grifter culture war chaff that points their knives at AAA industries.
