What amazes me is most of the gamers they accuse of wanting to jerk off have healthy relationships, or are married - they keep banging the "incel" drum - meanwhile, can you not admire art without jerking off to it? THEY are the ones obsessed with sex/gazes/bodily fluids.
@Vara_Dark
They're so mad. It's not just the protagonist looking good that irks them. It's the lack of censorship, the lack of microtransactions and the fact they aren't disrespecting gamers.
@Grummz
I didn't want politics in gaming but they beat me over the head with theirs to the point where neutrality was no longer an option. If I have to choose a side it's not THEIRS because they took my peace and my escapism away.
@Grummz
Matt Walsh hates gamers/games, he's just the other end of the political aisle. He wants to bring back the days gaming censorship was a conservative stance.
Both sides want to control/micromanage us, just from different perspectives.

@KEEMSTAR
She's going to pull a Jussie Smolett and claim someone beat her up in the street and people like us caused it.
"they said this is Stellar Blade country and beat me up!"
@TheQuartering
I don't know about you but I see a lot of previously liberal, previously "don't care," and previously "I don't vote" people saying "wait, maybe I SHOULD vote FOR Trump because this isn't right."
@RAZ0RFIST
They love to throw historical accuracy under the bus in the name of D.E.I. - That weird Willy Wonka prequel with the kid from Dune did the same thing; I doubt England had a lot of black police officers and business owners in the early 1900s either.
@nichegamer
The funny thing about this is that usually woke game designers hate Cubans because Cubans that are here tend to hate and vote against Communism.
@Grummz
@bioware
The reason they do this, just like the developers that protect tweets, is because they know deep down their views are insanely unpopular and disliked and refuse to acknowledge that reality. By locking it, they can continue to live in the false reality that everyone loves woke.
@Grummz
I think the fact a lot of them immediately decided to go "Toriyama is a racist" five seconds after finding out he died is equally egregious and speaks volume to the character (or lack thereof) of the people involved. These people need to be pushed out entirely from gaming.
@YellowFlashGuy
Embracer must have sponsored this for both Lara and 47 to be that high. Don't get me wrong. I like Hitman but how the hell is Agent 47 so high up the list?
@StutteringCraig
The "modern audience" is a term they like to bring up to imply that those of us who are not "the modern audience" are in the way of "progress."
Also the modern audience they speak of are essentially just the game journo class that hates all of us for being here first.
@TheQuartering
A lot of people had the "ohhh, they'll never convict him, IDC, it's all bullshit" mentality of indifference.
Then they did and people are like "wait. Shit. This isn't how the justice system should work."
@Grummz
Nintendo needs to be quick to drop DEI. Their niche is that they are the trustworthy "family brand." If they lose that, they're dead in the water as it's the one thing that sets them apart from Microsoft/Sony at this juncture.

@MattWalshBlog
Not to mention
@gregg_re
throwing a massive tantrum instead of speaking to gamers in good faith, opting to call them "stupid" & "ignorant" for asking about a valid criticism of Walsh's criticisms of gamers in the past. No one started getting inflammatory about it until Greg did.
@Grummz
I'm seeing A LOT of Playstation 5 console owners complaining about PC gamers... and the problem with that is how does it negatively affect PS5 users? It doesn't. I don't get why they're so angry people weren't FORCED to sign up for PSN
@Chriscoveries
Where is this mod?
Also Nexusmods is a garbage website for allowing a Transflag mod for this game but removing the American Flag one for Spiderman.
@Grummz
It wasn't a threat to women but it was a threat to the Troons, which is the group the games industry seems to be pandering to with mannish and ugly women
@TheQuartering
Dailywire thinks anime turns you into Dylan Mulvaney, and Matt Walsh thinks 90 minutes of gaming is somehow worse than spending 90 minutes of your time watching Lady Ballers. That's the problem.
@kabrutusrambo
If you don't gatekeep, your hobbies get taken over by people who actively hate you who the push YOU out of your own space and have the nerve to tell you "it was never yours."
@MarcoCorrosion

@mattRlive
Yeah and something tells me the games journalists will brag about it and likely prop the culprits up on a pedestal of wokeness. These people genuinely believe they're the "good guys."
@Vara_Dark
@ANONYMOUS_2024A
I like how they go "SBI Haters are SO Mad" but by the projection/logic of the post "SBI Hater-Haters are even madder."
And they always go into immediately that if you don't like their woke nonsense you "can't attract a mate" or must be some kind of "bigot." These people = unwell.
@Grummz
These same people also think that not wearing a mask during COVID was a threat against their life. They are the same people who think "Misgendering" them is a "threat against their life."
To them the "ends justify the means," they have no actual "rules," other than "obey us."
@Grummz
They also are pulling this card in the media. Just like Inverse is doing for the Acolyte you have Kotaku and the Gamer claiming "there's nothing wrong with the game; there is something wrong with YOU."
No. I'm the customer. The customer is always right.
@Mangalawyer
it's already being called woke and disrespectful because it *is* woke and disrespectful and any "games journalist" that tries to run defense should be mocked for that piss-poor take as well, including Kotaku's 3 remaining employees, the Ga(y)mer and anywhere else.
@kabrutusrambo
I really hope
@squareenix_jp
and Takashi Kiryu realizes that we are passionate gamers who don't want Sweet Baby or any "consultant companies" - we just want good games. We want the JRPG company to make good JRPGS! Clean house at
@SquareEnix
while they're at it too!
@Nerdrotics
Apparently the new criteria for being a "Star Wars fan" is "you must be woke" says Leslie Headland. Apparently knowing who did what in the franchise is no longer required. If its this bad in interviews wait until we see how they ruined The Force as they've promised they will do.
@TheCriticalDri2
Hell, modern companies think the phrase "Open Sesame" is a racism; there's no way they won't find everything about The Mummy "problematic."
@Mangalawyer
t seems like the gaming companies, which are now fully indoctrinated by the West, ESG/DEI money & "virtues," has nothing but hatred and prejudice against the East and will not stop until Japan has fully bent the knee to ridiculous Western Standards that originated from Tumblr.
@Grummz
I think
@Ubisoft
thinks all publicity is "good" publicity, but they fail to realize how sick most of us are of DEI, and also how insulting these "collectors edition early access" $129.99 package games sound to us for both this and outlaws. Would never buy either game. Ever.
@elonmusk
@stclairashley
If you hadn't bought Twitter, everyone on X discussing Trump and the travesty of justice today would have been silenced/banned/suspended.
@lporiginalg
He probably said something radical like "COVID masks don't work" or "there are only two genders" or "I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy."
@GundamIsHere
Didn't they also once ban
@ThisIsKyleR
for literally using his REAL NAME? EA is an awful company. It's sad sports games keep that company propped up and insulated from collapse.
@Grummz
They literally got triggered by a quote-post telling them they were incorrect. These people threaten us all online and tne minute they get push back on their world view they can't handle it - it's why they want *everything* to cater to them.
@Nerdrotics
I miss the glory days of comic book shops, it was not just about buying/selling, it was a social gathering for like minded nerds, actual nerds, not the faux ones who try to shoehorn their virtue signaling BS into every single thing. I met so many friends at them.
