The woke are quick to hit that censorship button because it's ''dangerous'' for people to not think what they are told by the Designated Authoritative Sources.
Even when the ''dangerous conspiracy theorists'' are correct and the authorities are wrong or flat-out lying in conspiracy to manipulate people, the woke still want the Deplorables censored and jailed, like you can be jailed for ''resisting arrest'' in most jurisdictions if you didn't let a cop illegally assault and abduct you from your own house.
The user-friendly option to costumize your experience is not an acceptable compromize to them. You cannot simply mute a player, or game chat, if you don't like the content in it. You cannot simply pick the channels you subscribe to and click ''do not recomment this channel again''. Because then people can make choices that deeply offend them, and people they hate can still exist in public.
They want to be the Ideas Police.
Anything that leads to Wrongthing must be censored and smashed out of existence.
You WILL sit down, shut up, and clap at that incompetent black The Verge diversity hire ''teaching'' you how to build a computer wrong.
You WILL be censored or banned if you criticize the diversity hire and the woke who propped him up.
Also the left: let's put pornography in elementary school libraries, men in dresses going commando sitting at eye level of children while reading books aloud, and show meatspin during the pride parades
It's not that James Rolfe isn't interested in modern video games, he simply isn't passionate or interested in video games since he became an adult, period.
The entire AVGN persona is a complete ruse.
James doesn't care about retro videogames as a hobby or passion either despite making a living that he pretends he does for two decades.
He wrote an autobiography a few years back and he barely mentioned video games or his YT success at all. He was also literally a special needs kid he was so much of a sperg.
He's much more interested in old horror films and filmmaking (though he's lazy, narrow and mostly incompetent when it comes to that too). He also is more passionate about death metal and plays bass in a very cringe videogame-themed cover band called Rex Viper.
Mike Matei who used to appear in some of the oldest AVGN videos is the actual passionate video game nerd. But he has no charisma and is a quick tempered manchild.
The point is, he doesn't play video games as a hobby in his spare time.
He doesn't/didn't even play the games in all his iconic videos. All the actual game footage is all supplied by his friend and former collaborator Mike Matei.
I see we are coming full circle back to "bad words make the children evil!"
Also if you want to come after AVGN for corrupting influence, try citing his chugging of beer to deal with his emotions and how unhealthy a coping mechanism that is. Its dumb, but its much more valid.
But that would probably get most of your side too and no one wants to be that guy who calls out the alcohol problem.
Well he definitely doesn't deserve it, on the other hand people who keep fence sitting this whole culture Clash outta know they'll just get thrown in the pit sooner or later for not kissing the ring of the progressives.

Because he wouldn't watch Ghostbusters 2016?
Yes.
oh NOW they can remember shit beyond a week?
I disagree with fire alarm puller, and agree more with umbra_tet with their comment of:
Which has a whiff of tyler the creator's 'how is cyberbullying real' comment from ages ago, but stands on it's own for being right.
The left: AVGN is corrupting the youth!

Media: "Who radicalized you?"
Me: comes closer and whispers into their ears
Me: "You."
Never watched him. Next bullshit claim.
Don't bother.
He peaked over a decade ago.
Then was revealed as a lazy sperg who hasn't been interested in vidya since the N64.
"The guy who makes videos about old video games isn't interested in new games" isn't really that shocking.

It's bullshit. Dude showed up at Magfest a couple years back as a normal attendee. Just one more face in a sea of people who love video games.
It's almost like he's playing a character.
The point is, he doesn't play video games as a hobby in his spare time.
He doesn't/didn't even play the games in all his iconic videos. All the actual game footage is all supplied by his friend and former collaborator Mike Matei.

He's actually a nice guy, and way better at Samurai Showdown than I expected.
I think the original tweet is just a shitpost.
I think it was Chris Bores, actually.
