What irks me is they still have these insane community management team and mods attacking the customers (no idea if this is the same one who said "yes we are forcing PSN because we want to ban you bigots") but if you bring that up in a normie gamer discord/forum, you are the one accused of being political. People have no problem calling out these devs and Sony for specific fraudulent business practices, but if you bring up actually toxic loony pronoun people running the game, everyone's like "Hold up that's a bit extreme and not everyone agrees. Let's focus on consumer rights not whining about 'muh woke'."
We have regular and consistent trolls on this forum trying to run interference for ideologies we clearly hate, but they keep at it. I don't doubt for a second that the big companies like Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, or whoever else are paying some 3rd world company to run through trending videos and hashtags to defend them no matter what they do. That's also not counting the loyal dogs doing it for free like the meme.

A lot of people balk at imagining how many paid shills there are on the Internet. Imagine you run a billion dollar company, and hiring a shill farm boosts your company value by 0.1%. That's a million bucks. Do you think the shills and bot farms cost them a million bucks a year?
I'm being paranoid but I truly think we might be seeing paid agitators who post this crap in order to try and calm people down the same way you have tactics being used by violent protestors when they've got peaceful fake pacifists blocking anyone from fighting back the second they get a cheap shot in.
Not paranoid. There are bots that can do that too.

You are FAR from paranoid.

It's an election year. Shills are everywhere.
