Is that a tranny, an unfortunately named man*, or an unfortunate looking woman?
Asking the important questions, I know.
To get
backto the point, I love how they still can't help but blame us for everything.It's also just wrong. While some of us do jump on trends, and do an impulse buy here and there, I'd say we are, in aggregate, much more careful about buying games, even if there's some political win for the game doing well.
I know I haven't seen a lot of praise here for Black Myth: Wukong, outside of praising it for pissing people off. I know there wasn't a lot of praise for things like the Kyle Rittenhouse game, or the Alex Jones game, or other meme games that are on Our Side. Or Hogwarts Legacy. We might have our opinions, and be "biased" (like everyone else), but we'll often call a spade a spade.
Even if Big Bad GamerGate was massive and organized, we still wouldn't be the ones driving sales numbers for Black Myth.
* Yes, I know Shannon can be a man's name sometimes. Still unfortunate.
I think it's a tranny.
Yup. I think it's an autistic dude. I went from despising them (and I still despise their actions) to pitying them.
Obsessive loser, captured by internet cults. As I said in my other comment, could have been much more normal, but probably fell in with the wrong crowd, and got completely shaped by it.
I reserve my pity for their victims. Or the society they hunger to destroy.
That's the annoying part; some of the perpetrators are also victims. A lot of trannies are just vulnerable autists or young people, who were preyed on. A lot of the most political and obnoxious and vile gays were molested as kids.
I can condemn what they do, while also wishing their lives hadn't led them to that point.
Anyone who turns themselves into a tranny is a victim; either of themselves, or outside brainwashing.
My guess with respect to that is not enough of us are early players of new games. It's difficult to praise something you haven't played yet.
You jest, but these actually are important questions.
I remember learning about yellow journalism back in middle school and part of that lesson emphasized the importance of knowing who was writing an article and for what audience the article was intended and how those were important details when evaluating its worth as a source of information.
As the years progress I think back on those history classes and just how important that lesson ended up being.
Man, imagine anyone teaching critical thinking. It's a foreign concept nowadays.
