Since COVID started I've been working from home (and even when we do go back to the office, it will only be two days a week) and I have been listening to a lot of podcasts while working. Nerdrotic is one of my favorites, and he was saying that all it takes is one studio to stand up against the woke mafia, and realize that twitter doesn't equal revenue and the others will fall like dominoes. Does anyone believe that?

I'd love for the head of a gaming company, comic book company, etc. to say something like stop saying "we need" certain people. The only people we need are ones who actually like the material and who can write. History has shown that people have no problem watching/reading something by women or minorities that is good. Also, I imagine that there are some good white authors out there who will never get a shot due to this representation obsession.

I remember when Kingdom Come Deliverance came out I bought it because the creator didn't bend the knee to the morons on twitter or the game journalists who were whining about the lack of diversity in medieval europe (still sounds hilarious when you read that line). I don't like first person games but I wanted to support it.

Also, I have hope for the new Ghostbusters movie. It would be poetic justice for a movie that actually respects the lore and follows the Ghostbusters story to be a massive hit after the 2016 debacle that nobody asked for. Honestly in a sane world 2016 ghostbusters should be a major lesson on why you should accept that certain hobbies/genres appeal to certain groups
