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 think they'll double down.
The people who push this shit aren't going anywhere. They've still infested studios and publishers. They're still rabid leftists.
Maybe some less subverted and committed companies outside the entertainment industry might scale back their DEI but Western entertainment is rotten to the core.
Same. I actually look forward to seeing them double down. The moderates/fence-sitters who are still redeemable will open up their eyes once they witness the radicals go into overdrive.
Hell, it's possible that by doubling down, they may not be able to hide their association with consultancy firms, which would only give people more reason to hate them.
