Riot was cracking down on gaymers saying 'mean' things, while the company culture was the same. DICE is hilarious cringe (if you dont like our WWII WAMEN MESSAGE THEN 'DONT BUY" #RIGH SIDE OF HERSTORY, ETCC) I'm seeing a lot of the same with this gay bitsh. Idr if the meme was here, but she admitted she's not even reviewing the fucking games. ive never seen such an obvious example of 'im not a gamer, i just want to bully nerds' while pretending to be the 'in crowd', in my life.

It works on NPCs because it's a total fucking worldwide religion at this point, and I'd like to see some deeper intellectual analysis discussing it as such. I can understand some people being super liberal, wanting to be supportive of "unprivileged" groups, thinking movies and games need multi-ethnic representation to stop racism and that they can somehow "lift up" minority groups by using political and economic capital. I disagree, but I get the ideology.

What doesn't make any rational sense is companies throwing market segments under the bus, attacking their base, so they can inject those personal/group beliefs into their products. You'd think they'd be like "oh I do think we should show more strong women in our games - but it doesn't make sense here in a WW2 game obviously, we need to sell games and our core audience is men." Whether they are the CEO or a lowly grunt artist, they should know that the success of their company is what puts food on their table.

The only way to make it make sense is that the western world is under the mass psychosis of a new religion. Right now that's the key observation for me. Causes and solutions are secondary.
