I honestly think they're right when they say that the right lost the culture war once people like Jack Thompson and 2000s era Fox News pundits went after video games and intense music.

There were far more people who just thought of these things as interesting new takes on fun past time. Most people were perfectly capable of realizing that the things in these works shouldn't be repeated in real life, and they vastly outnumbered anyone who saw them as instruction manuals. Even then, people in the latter category who committed crimes and were allegedly inspired by GTA or NWA already had other issues in life.

I think the PR nightmare that was these moral panics against violent entertainment left us with far more of an uphill battle when it came to fighting wokeness in our culture and institutions.

Now, when we talk about how divisive and destructive themes and policies are aggressively shoved down our throats, people equate that to things like the 1980s Satanic panic against D&D or the crusade against rap music or Mortal Kombat from the '90s.

We're not trying to keep people from accessing fun, but we do want to stop people from feeling like they have to submit to the message that they're bad just because of their heritage or skin color.

I hope we can move past the stupid shit from those previous years and do a better job at distancing our pro empowerment and prosperity message from the bureaucrats of years past while just promoting good, inspiring entertainment.
