Another weekly dose of sanity-based takes on The Woke, it's the latest Splash Damage:
A few games journalists and activists cried about representation in Grand Theft Auto V, so Rockstar quietly censored their own game. We discuss this cowardly decision along with a Resident Evil 4 developer’s support of censorship, Twitch’s sexism against men, a woke Cards Against Humanity clone, and Lara Croft’s slow transformation into a man.

Label me whatever the hell you feel like. Since you're asking for bona fides, I've been gaming since I was a kid the '80s and lived through the crash of Atari and the death of the arcade. I blew up aliens and adventured through RPGs on my parents C64. I mowed lawns to buy my first NES. I've been a member of the Glorious PC Master Race for longer than some people have been alive. I've lived through the opening of the Internet to the masses and the Eternal September that has followed. I've coded basic websites and written my own apps for stuff I needed to automate. I've watched both the Right and the Left attack my hobbies - not just video games, but other things as well - for decades. How about you?
And yeah, the show isn't perfect, but seeing as how we're dropping criticism of production, what are you producing and putting out there that is of better quality? if you don't like it, then just ignore the posts and move the hell on. It's not like it's taking up any of your time to scroll past the post.
James Lindsay? You mean the guy who thinks rewinding wokeness to mid-90s level anti-White, anti-Male sentiment is going to fix things?
Did this fucktard just loudly burp into the microphone? Turned it off right after that… what a dipshit.
Yeah, definitely not one of his best moments. Dude needs to work on his professionalism.
