Anti-SJW centrists and gamergate nerds would like to make you believe that video game outlets only became liberal and political after 2013, this is from a 2009 issue of Ngamer. I have also seen feminism in a 2008 iussue of ONM. Not only do they imply that right wingers must be silenced but also that anything right wing is stupid and wrong. Granted it is popular to attack right wingers much like it is popular to trash Christianity.

You have to remember the time period, though. Remember when this happened.

Jack Thompson had just been disbarred a year before after being a giant pain in the ass for a fucking decade. Groups like the AFA were responsible for over 99% of complaints to the FCC until like 2010. You had the Video Game Decency Act pushed by Repubs of the time. And this was all over the backdrop of the Moral Majority goons of the 90s and the bevy of bullshit they pulled. I'll spare you the details, since I've gone over them in like 20 other threads by this point, but the short version is that the worst elements of the right were more than happy to play up to their role and act exactly as retarded as your average leftist activist in our current era.

And their doing so allowed the leftist establishment to push sweeping authoritarian measures in the background.
They were useful idiots, drawing aggro and ultimately being left holding the bag when these efforts stalled out at the time.

To give an example: while Thomspon was prattling about like an idiot, it was Hillary Clinton who pushed FEPA (Family Entertainment Protection Act) behind the scenes, which would have mandated Federal ESRB enforcement with penalties akin to selling cigarettes to minors and would have placed the ESRB under the mandate of the FTC. This would have been effectively a federal implementation of similar laws that had already been passed and by this point, already ruled unconstitutional and overturned in Illinois, California, and Michigan.

You can't really blame the uninvolved normies for not knowing this shit - do you think your average person tunes into congressional proceedings? Maybe they should have, considering that some of that shit was hilarious, but the majority of people kept only a surface level understanding, and you really can't blame them for that given context. The Dems counted on that, and the dumber elements of the right who happily played up to it deserve nothing but fucking scorn.
 
This is all over my X feed:

"We embrace discussion":

It would appear you don't embrace discussion and instead want to censor opposing opinions.

What's absolutely hilarious to me is these two screenshots from the game:

"It's okay when we bully, harass, and cancel people when you do it, it's bad." type shit.

I'm starting to get real sick of this shit.

I still blame the nut bag conservative Christians for causing this situation. We would have had half as much trouble from insane leftist cockbags and bitches. If they had just STFU and not gone on a sperg crusade to ruin peoples fun and turned the gaming/tabletop/comics/books in to a cultural political battleground.
No, a fucking 16 year old pretending he is a paladin while rolling some dice is not summoning the devil or about to go on a killing spree.
Look at the propaganda they put out.
I was there, when Jack and the rest of the nuttier Christians attacked gaming. They pushed gamers in to the arms of the nutters we are dealing with now. Short sighted boomer Christians are a fucking stain and if i could i would day of the pillow all of their stupid asses.

They definitely did, something a lot of the oldsters here prefer to pretend simply wasn't the fucking case.
 
So I came to a realization, and I'd like to share it with all of you.

Sony did a CEO Swap and pulled things away from SIE (its Californian branch) a mere four months ago. At the time of this, SIE had a profitability index of 6%.

But Sony had already bought Firewalk in 2023 - and before that, Haven Entertainment got bought out by them in 2022. I.E., while SIE was in charge.

Essentially, this suggests that Sony's buying spree of studios like Firewalk was specifically because these studios put out projects like Concord, ran aground with minimal funding coming in, and then, because Sony stupidly gave SIE the authority to make decisions in pursuance of the Playstation Brand, bought out a bunch of these Californian studios. Live Service Games from these studios have been percolating in the background this entire time, sucking up money and by the time Sony realized it and called for a CEO swap, most of them had already gone past the point of no return and had untold millions pumped into them.

....And they're going to the moon.


FAIRGAME$ is a live service heist game from Haven Entertainment, and is scripted to be the next game Sony releases. Unlike Concord, this game has only been in development for a year, by all indication is that Sony's going full steam ahead, and we may be looking at them about to Morbius themselves.

honestly at a certain point it just became repetitive, Sony fucking sucks but the whole culture war against them has been completely hijacked by YouTube Grifters and Normalfags, I can deal with shit I disagree with in Video Games, to a certain point, but everytime Sony does something retarded like 2000 YouTube Channels upload videos about it and Call of Duty Dads start crying about how its woke on Twitter, its too tiresome because clearly they are not going to change and you are better off moving on.

So since Gogmagog redirected me to this thread since my post wasn't for the general video game chat thread, I found this has been circulating around on Twitter and this is really laughable at how insane they are.

Final Fantasy VII

Really? Of all the things to complain about the author believes that is worth mentioning? Might as well warn any British readers about Cloud's big pointy sword. And Portal 2 has no "anti-patriarchy" themes to speak of. Are all male characters portrayed in a bad light? Yes all two of them, but not because they are male. Wheatley is a paranoid idiot, while Cave Johnson is an arrogant visionary. Glados, one of the two females, is a control freak whose change of heart at the end is rooted in selfishness. The only major character who has no flaws is Chell and that's because she is given no characterization to speak of. Whoever wrote this needs to spend more time learning what is actually happening inside these games.

There's also Doug Rattmann, who like Johnson was probably dead long before the beginning of at least Portal 2. He apparently was the one who saved Chell by putting her in cryo.
 
I just wonder.
Now it's clear that the Media control and cultural well-poisoning is having undesirable effects, and indeed, is proving counterproductive to the commie kulturkampf.
Will the leftoids just attempt a more conventional, Maoist style cultural revolution?
We've see elements of it already for years in the bizarre public shaming rituals, and the emerging progressive police states.
It seems to me like they are simply positioning themselves to start rounding people up, and putting them to the wall.
So, how long do we have to get organized?
Good health to you all.
