Creative works you enjoyed until politics happened - "How politics made me hate Welcome to Nightvale and other things"

[Grundlejungle]

Had became shit the second it introduced character arcs.
I also wanted to throttle Garcia and explained to mom, slowly, why you can not deal with women like that in any kind of serious place.

Garcia fucking sucks now. I just want my nigga Reed to come back. It's gotten pretty fucking retarded with the overall plot. Also paramount+ runs like a 1 legged dog.

Reading the early pages of this thread reminds me of just how fucking impossible it was to avoid the BLM stuff back in 2020. Just woke up one morning and it was everywhere for the next year or so. I remember having to unfollow two cosplay accounts I liked (one Witcher, the other Bloodborne) because of it. The latter reposted a tweet from one Bloodborne account that was basically like "Oh you're complaining about us posting about politics and racism, when the game involves surviving a night in a town full of bigots?"

Bitch, I'm here to tear open werewolves and cosmic horrors and feel bad for Father Gascoigne. Stop trying to guilt trip me over not wanting to think about the world's problems every waking moment.

Pearl jam. That one still fucking stings.

Yes, because a town full of people maddened by being injected with blood infected by cosmic entities is simply just "bigots".

Dear God, these people really don't have a sense of scale to anything they do, do they?

Very recently: Ark.

Not a great game, but it let me tame wyverns and run around with a pack of raptors. Plus, Mrs. Degenerate loves dinos, so it was a grand time together.

Popped open steam the other day: 'CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH' with a picture of black power fists.

I know I shouldn't care, since I only play privates, and they already have my money, so it's not like stopping playing does anything, but man it killed my interest.

Shit, I almost forgot that we just started one of the most insufferable months of the year.

I can never forget, since it's my fucking birth month.

I don't get to look forward to fun times with the family or friends, I get to have to be flooded with shitty emails at work about how important niggers are, and 'YAS QWEEN' on any walmart tv I happen to cross.

Though, interestingly enough, 7 days in, and I haven't gotten any we waz kangs in my work inbox. Maybe corporate culture is getting away from it?

And while I'm at it, maybe a leprechaun will pop out of my ass and give me the next five lotto numbers, and a magical portal to and from any fictional world I want.

Pride is infinitely more insufferable than Black History, since Pride has decided to be 6 months out of the year now, then the Trans and Drag stuff which is another two months tacked on.

Or do you prefer indefinite state of Jewish History Month we live in? Where anytime a Jewish person is looked at funny, we have to lock down all other forms of activites and focus only on
the horrors and suffering the jews went through for a period of time? Remember 2020 , when a couple of phone threats effectively cancelled Black History Month because "muh israel". Kanye says something about the jews, and then we spend the next 7 months, with the heel of tyranny on our necks, politely telling us that they don't have the power to put the heel on your neck and anyone who says that they do, is an antisemitism spreader.

Or the current declaration of Ukrainian Pride, that like Jewish History, seems to be running indefinitely.

I also noticed that the "FREE HONG KONG" trend died out very quickly, after the Hong Kong freedom protests were stomped out. So will that happen with the Ukraine trend?

I kinda doubt it. There seems to be a lot of love for China but hatred for Russia, at least from what I’ve seen.

That'll go on until the next Current Thing pops off. I don't think Ukraine is slowing down anytime soon; I was out running an errand recently, and I was behind someone with a Ukraine flag bumper sticker. I also saw a different person at the store with a Ukraine shirt on.

Dwarf Fortress, the drunken autist tard-wrangling simulator. The new Steam version is run by trannies who hate the established culture of the fanbase. For instance, you can't hate on elves in their Discord server because DAS RASIS, despite the fact that the new Steam version makes elves somehow even more insufferable than they were before. (They started as violent tree-hugging zealots and added animal-rights fanaticism on top)

I used to enjoy Fables back when I was a nerdling who read comics. The series was about a community of fairy tale characters like Pinocchio and the Big Bad Wolf living in exile on Earth. It was great, but during one story arc one of the main characters, Bigby, literally said "we are Israel" and then launched an Israeli style commando strike against their enemies which was totally successful because Israel is perfect and its army are all super soldiers. Oy vey!

If this wasn't the creative works gone woke thread, I would've assumed this was some elaborate shitpost.

Dunno if it was already mentioned, but I also think monsters of the pocket has succumbed to the mind virus of "social justice" too.

Pokémon has been woke since at least 2020.

Pearl jam. That one still fucking stings.

I just want to say that I listened to Ten in full, and it was one of the best rock albums ever created. It shocks me that the group that made “Black“ would end up getting randomly political during the late 2010’s.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Do Western corporate pop culture works from Current Year even show straight "cis" romance anymore?

(even though I don't really keep up with them it seems they don't)
