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.

Standartd disclaimer: I'm not Scrivonaut and I'm not associated with the podcast, I'm just reposting this from Reddit as a signal boost for the show.
As is internet tradition I must get knowledge on why you keep recommending this, I gave them one more shot, As a news aggregator of wokness I do not get much new Intel, I cannot get here or elsewhere quicker and with better detail, It is very casual based and the description is on the level of boomer in which game is a concept of eldritch knowledge, Do you even game? Or code? Or Develop anything? Are you even part of gaming culture past or present?, When it comes to comedy there is better people or more entertaining people, If I wish to understand wokness then James Lindsay, so what value do they provided, since even if they claim to do it for free this is trash and they ask for dosh? If you cannot provided this, I will without a doubt label you a shill.
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.
Nothing much, coded games and gotten them nominated but not winning any competition. Played since I had the motor skills required for it. Played a bit of everything. Only PC.
If you have coded as you said, you will know that there is a minimum standard in which something is viable, or just junk otherwise I got lots of junk projects produced in which I can release to whole world for free. Usually you try to produce something which can have value or if it is a continuous product you try and improve it over time none of which I can find here, there is not even the bare bones of an attempt of trying to improve it.
Are you a poor version of linus? Should I start working on a doctorate in media communication or perhaps I shall join the theater first so that I can tell you how it fundamentally it is broken as an entertainment product? Or that I do not fundamentally understand where you find the value in this? And that it does boggle my mind to such an extent that I must ask? I have listen to other podcast left and right and with minimum production value and they are generally just dull or low information but this is something special in it's standard of quality and it is mainly due to someone recommending it to others.
Since the only rational explanation I can convene to myself is ONE you are part of the production team and this is your own work or TWO you gain financially or socially on their success or THREE you have gained an infatuation or admiration towards them which border on madness.
James Lindsay? You mean the guy who thinks rewinding wokeness to mid-90s level anti-White, anti-Male sentiment is going to fix things?
His solution is perhaps not the proper answer but I do think that he fills out the understanding of how the internal system of wookism function and their usage of definitions.
