I'm of two minds of this.
You're right that time is the most valuable commodity in the world for which nothing can be traded for it. However, if Golden can do a good write-up of all the pozz in the game then it makes it easy to highlight the problems to normies who may be dismissive of it.
Making a massive inflammatory write up of it is much more likely to get them to tune you out completely rather than change their mind. Its one of the reasons why posts like the one being discussed is more detrimental than helpful even if its true.
That's how conspiracy theories get discredited all the time. They turn "some real leaked emails are saying some wild shit in code words like 'pizza'" into "THEY THINK CHILDREN ARE BEING RAPED UNDER A PIZZA JOINT!" which then completely closes off everyone's minds to it because it sounds so ridiculous. Sometimes despite being completely true (see the "Red Scare").
Which is what "30 uninterrupted seconds of gay sex then full on cock flopping out" sounds like in regards to the problems with this game. Taking an easily sold problem and then cranking it so high it becomes laughable. It might be true and I wouldn't be super surprised if it is, but its also making it harder to change minds by selling it like this too because unfortunately optics and sales tactics matter more than facts.
A good writeup would still be nice to have for our own sake, especially as a great laugh, but doing it in any hopes of changing normie minds is very optimistic.
Actually this is more-so to what I was referring to; I would likely take his write-up and minimise it down to bite-size bullet points to convey to normies if they ask "What's woke about the game?"
A quick summary based on a more detailed write-up would help some of us here disseminate that information outward to normie communities. And if they require more details about it, being able to fall back to a post on this site that chronicles all of the woke elements would make for good reference material.
I still think more than like 2 points and you instantly tip the scales against you in the way I described. Its a consistent pattern I see when it comes to how the Left discredits things, and on the flip side why "Right wing memes" are so effective in their shortness.
Having it for our own sake to refer back to as a reference document is helpful for sure. But I think again that's us wasting our own precious time on something worthless and gay, however that's just my opinion on things like this in a general sense.
