Culture Wars General - KiA Diet Coke Edition

[Marissa Moira]

Welp looks like M-rated games are going to be thrown out the door onto their ass in general.

Twitch's brand protection code will penalize channels that play M-Rated games and won't penalize E-Rated games in an attempt to essentially bankrupt any budding edgelords out there.

It also ensures that nothing M-Rated will ever get free advertising on twitch which will kill any desire to appeal to that M-Rated market. Streamers won't pick up any M-Rated content because it will hurt their channel just that much with this digital credit score system.

I'd say fuck jannies but it looks like they're actually going to be paying people to do this in conjunction with an automated system, which in itself is even more shocking.

But yeah it looks like that if a system or platform gets too popular with an inappropriate game or a game that is eventually deemed inappropriate, that will even harm the actual console brand or digital platform itself.

Why do they hate fun? The majority of the most well-loved games made after 2000 come from franchises that are either M-rated or "hard" T-rated. The only E-rated or E10+ rated franchises with any real following in 2021 are either sports games or Nintendo bing bing wahoo bullshit.

It's like they want all entertainment to be bland and pretentious woke punk bullshit.

At this point, I think it's obvious they are sadists and moralists who want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.

If the Twitch platform was something explicitly marketed towards kids or families like Disney+ or Netflix Kids, then I could see this policy making sense on a certain level but I doubt that's the target demographic for Twitch.

We all grow up at some point and given how kids were still flocking to Halo despite the M rating shows the days of keeping adult games out children's hands is out of the question. They are gonna watch streams of it, they are gonna go to a friend's house to play the game. The reality is isolating the young from violent games is impossible and the only solution is migitation

Also some food for thought, look at how Steve-O went from being a drug addict adrenaline junkie to this soy drinking straight edge simp

The same can be said for journalists and devs as their past of debauchery is going to ruin them and they take this woke direction to try and save themselves from inevitable ruin

The only one who isn't doing it are manboys and kids who only barely understood half of what the 90s was like. See Pete Davidson and Billy Usher as the ultimate display of Gamer Journalist Manchilds who have this warped view of Japanese games as the expression of maturity

The Paramount+ Halo TV series sounds like a mess

Race swapped Characters
Overall message of War bad
Nearly entire series will be based around the medical staff of halo because war is bad and they refuse to glorify war
Women will be shown as peaceful living breathing monuments to power
War affects women the most and that's why war bad
We would have no war if we got rid of systemic racism

Also Keyes is now black and Miranda is a scientist.
I hate that they're focusing on the Chief instead of expanding on the lore and the Halo universe. It's so easy to make an original show based on Halo. They could make a Band of Brothers-like show with a squad of ODST, or a show with the UNSC Infinity like BSG or Trek with political plots and planet/anomaly-of-the-week.

Why do they hate fun?

Because Twitch allows certain politicians on its platform.

It's an idiotic thing to do in the first place when you realize among the top games on Twitch are:

CoD Warzone, CS:GO, GTA V, Valorant, Apex Legends, and Escape from Tarkov. All highly popular, some with large eSports scenes (especially CS:GO), all with tons of dedicated streams for each game. The only high viewership non M-rated games up high are Minecraft, LoL, and DOTA 2.

Much of the high viewership streams are M-rated games, chasing them away would harm Twitch's safe profit bubble in the long run. It'd also hurt advertisers in the long run as well, hundreds of thousands of potential views suddenly wiped away because of their own squeamishness towards anything slightly violent.
I find it funny advertising/marketing for companies is like this nowadays, Americans love violence. No one would give a shit if they advertised Coca-Cola during a GTA V stream except busybody helicopter parents with nothing better to do. And Twitter, probably. Football is pretty violent but we obviously see companies pay out the nose for a spot at the Super Bowl; the irony is something else.

Twitch's cash cow is Just Chatting, it's not anything game related.

Just Chatting is where the simps throw their money at e-thots.

 

[Brain Problems]

And Twitter,

Honestly, most of the problems we have in the world beyond vidya can be traced back to Twitter. I firmly believe that if Twitter were to get Thanos-snapped out of existence tomorrow it would be like Lionel Hutz's nightmare of a world without lawyers:

Without people able to armchair moralise, businesses like Twitch can you know, just do whatever the fuck they want and people will in turn watch or not watch whoever they like. God forbid someone tunes in to some nog calling people a kike on stream or Pewds call some rando a nigger. Meanwhile 6/10 thots get cash thrown at them for wearing low-cut shirts and no one bats an eye.

It's all so tiresome.

 

[Marissa Moira]

On second thought, people are screaming that they'll be forced to play games instead of watching them. So maybe twitch fucking itself isn't bad after all and is more a return to normalcy?

No, because then they will finally realize how un-fun most games are these days when you're the one actually playing them, as opposed to just watching some loudmouth cracking jokes over it.

You mean Bobby Kotick will finally be forced to explain things to their board of directors and investors?

When twitter first launched I thought "That's the stupidest thing ever, it's only a matter of time until it fizzles out". Oh dear god, if only I had been right.

Speaking of social media cancer, Playstation is shutting down it's communities feature come April.

Why are they doing this, despite so many people still playing on PS4s? Is it to force people to buy a PS5 so they can talk with their friends?

Well it all goes back to one of the great answers in life, it's child porn. Many communities got taken over by MAPs and being that most communities are essentially free reign and it's up to users to report other users, this meant that private communities could operate exchanging child porn uninterrupted and you could only report others if you yourself were a member.

You could upload pictures and videos via USB stick and attach them to messages. So there was this whole ring of individuals who took up residence there. It's also why the PS5 doesn't have a comparable feature and why storage options are being patched in at a a later date.

I’ve never understood why we placate so called gamers who just sexually abuse and groom children at early ages and then question, “What does this have to do with gaming?”

The difference between run of the mill pedophiles and MAPs is that MAPs believe that they are the victim if you deny them their child porn. The moment someone starts screeching about being oppressed many people have a knee jerk reaction and just buckle to their demands.

I think the instant anyone claims oppression, they should have to produce evidence of that, and if they don't, they should be punched in the face.

 

[AMHOLIO]

I was going to write "I hope twitch kills itself" but then realize the m-rated blueballs is part of their long term slow burn to killing themselves. I wonder if anyone will take twitch's position as an M-Rated game streaming service haven (in addition to general streaming and other functions of course).

Well it all goes back to one of the great answers in life, it's child porn.

This is one of those sentences I could only hear here and have it make sense. Brilliant. Fucking pedos.

 

[Corn Flakes]

Unfortunately, the kiddy-diddlers are always trying to game the system. They bait out the punch to the face, then try to use it as evidence of oppression.

Is there any surprise the terminally woke use the same strategy?

 

[AnOminous]

Unfortunately, the kiddy-diddlers are always trying to game the system. They bait out the punch to the face, then try to use it as evidence of oppression.

And the solution to that is any time someone does that, the simple punch to the face should be upgraded to being curb stomped American History X style.
