So Trump has won the 2024 election. This seems to be one part of a big political realignment.
How much of that do you think will be reflected in pop culture? Are we finally going to see video games, movies, TV shows, etc. without Marxist propaganda, anti male or femininity plot points or mechanics, pronouns, or the blatant belittling of the aspects of traditional heroes?
On video games, will developers be less incentivized to do things like make them online only, hire firms like Sweet Baby Inc, put more time and care into the Day 1 releases, and be in a better position to make them more like how they were in the 2000s?
Or will we just see more of the same?
Bitter, angry people doubling down on destructive and divisive ideas being forced into mediums that were supposed to just entertain and uplift people. Destroying the mainstream pop culture world with a "better to burn out than fade away" philosophy.
I thought this is a great time to start a discussion like this.
Could Trump's victory and the ensuing political realignment mean an end to cultural wokeness and a return to putting one's customers first? I'd love to see your guys' thoughts on this topic.
I expect open war before the end of his term. I say this based on a brief conversation tonight with some leftist gaming buddies. They have learned nothing and still think that they're the good guys and that they're giving the right a fair chance. The very concept that they scream "far right" at anyone who isn't a rabid progressive is an utterly foreign idea to them and they get overtly hostile if you even suggest the possibility.
These people are angry, hostile, detached from reality and quick to lash out. I don't think there's any way the tensions in the room are going to go down. We'll have more assassination attempts and the rank and file will become more openly hostile to members of the general populace they suspect of being rightwing.
