Maybe this franchise was better off staying dormant if this was what they were going to do with it.
It's one thing if there were a legitimate story reason for it and it were part of, say, an M or maybe T rated game, but Crash Bandicoot has always been targeted toward all ages.
That's why I don't think this is a good idea.
It's going to feel very forced and amount to blatant propaganda where this character will likely be a Rey or She-Hulk 2022 Tumblr-esque self-insert for an SJW writer.
I hope that more people wake up to how this pride push is from the same cabal behind big pharma tyranny, climate/science fraud, racial strife, and political corruption.
It's the Rockefeller/Carnegie Foundations, World Economic Forum, UN, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Open Society Foundation that are the real enemies.
They're ultimate agenda is to collapse economies and societies and buy them up for pennies on the dollar to create a one-world Communist dystopia.
This is what ALL of us regardless of physical or personality differences need to firmly set our sights on calling out and stopping at the end of the day as we thwart their other attacks against us.
That's why I hope we can organize some sort of campaign to contact their marketing departments directly.
Leave e-mails and social media comments where we let them know that we don't like this and explain exactly why.
They'll only listen to the criticism if it outnumbers the support. Look at how that affected Target, Anheuser-Busch, MLB, and so on.
Even NASCAR's somewhat started listening. Yes, they have a pro-pride post, but they're not promoting a pride merch line like last year and they're not pathetically apologizing to the alphabet mafia for daring to welcome conservatives either.
I get why some people think it's futile, but we have to at least try. Did anyone think the above campaigns would work before they proved to do so?
We've got to at least try. Sitting around hoping it goes away isn't going to cut it anymore.
What are some ideas you have in mind if you were writing?
What links or videos, if any, would you include?
The new Cadillac is a beautiful and capable machine in my opinion. I can't wait to see how all the major manufacturers compare to each other at Le Mans this weekend.
Unfortunately, I will no longer be watching them in the pro-groomer IMSA, which has declared support for "pride" amidst the grooming and mutilation.
At least neither F1 or the WEC have recognized this death cult in any way this year.
Thank God for Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the FIA president that has openly tried to shut down this foolishness.
This one hurts.
Competing in this series has been my dream throughout my entire life.
I learned about them through the Speed Channel and Forza and never looked back.
Frankly, they're dead to me now. Now I just have better things to do with my time.
I wish these companies would learn that the LGBT movement is no longer about love and acceptance. It's now the ideology of extortion, manipulation, and abuse.
IMSA's primary fanbase is older people 40 and over who are getting ready to retire and can actually buy cars close to the ones that race in the series.
In other words, almost certainly Christians, Republicans, and likely Trump supporters. If the word gets out about this, IMSA may very well be done for.
As a wheel player, I feel that the wheel support in Motorsport 6 is adequate. I have a good range of motion and the game feels responsive.
As for Forza 2023, I too hope that we can qualify for single player events. It's so frustrating being caught in a first corner pileup and falling far behind the leader just because the game forces you to start in 12th for no reason. Especially since I've been able to go faster than the AI with cars that aren't upgraded.
Hopefully homologation gets ditched too. I thought it was a ridiculous way of putting cars that have no business racing each other (GT4 and Super GT GT500 cars) in one class and putting on all sorts of ridiculous upgrades on them that ruin how they drive.
Furthermore, it completely defeats the purpose of depicting racing in a grounded way and defeats the purpose of seeing how these cars race each other despite their different design and performance characteristics.
I'd also like to see true multi class racing with full, real time 24 hour long races. Therefore, a mid race save feature like the one in 2000's Test Drive Le Mans for the Dreamcast would be a must.
I think this new Forza would also be a good opportunity to finally offer some kind of off road or rallycross racing.
As long as they keep the BS pronouns out of it, I'll definitely be keeping my eye on Forza 2023.
Oh dear, Forza Horizon will probably keep the pronouns for the 6th game, too.
It wouldn't surprise me if they sneak them into the new Motorsport game, too.
Think we'll have to make the Xbox line the next Bud Light, guys?
It's a shame because I like how he's been fighting the LGBTP WEF death cult.
Unfortunately, he can't seem to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, much like the people he claims to be against.
That's what happens when you try to appeal to mentally ill people who don't even like your product and go woke.
You alienate and thus turn away your core audience, and in trying to win them back, you earn the scorn of the demographic you were trying to bring in.
Ultimately, no one ends up liking you.
There's also Lyn St James, Christina Nielsen, and Lilian Bryner from sports car racing.
All of them regularly contended for race wins, Christina won two IMSA championships, and were equally as fast and reliable as the men they raced against.
Even better, none of them marinated in any insecurity or railed against the "patriarchy". They just tried to prove their skills at what they wanted to do.
And instead of using their gender to divide people, they've actually helped other female racers get better, reach their goals, and assist them with logistics and sponsorship. They actually lift people up.
They're all great role models.
I found this bit on him from an interesting old digest show that used to air on TNN called Inside NASCAR:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s233RKZR9I
There's also an extended feature on him produced as part of a documentary series called Golden Era of NASCAR. It features appearances from other legends like reporter Chris Economaki and driver/car owner Junior Johnson:
And Wendell did receive major racially motivated pushback when he tried to race at some tracks. A few tried to either ban him or only let him enter if a white person drove his car. One even credited him with second when he actually won.
However, he refused to let that stop him and he raced anyway. He gained respect from his fellow drivers and proved to be be consistently competitive.
However, Scott never blamed white people as a whole for the difficulties he encountered. He wanted to be seen as just another driver and overcome the odds, and he got that wish. Now he's almost universally respected as a pioneer in the sport.
I wish we could go back to the days when people wanted to prove themselves through their skills rather than marinate in victimhood.
Travis Pastrana's Nitro RX series as well as the FIA's own World one went to all-electric cars last year in spite of series like WRC, BTCC, and IMSA/WEC opting for hybrids to strong popularity and more manufacturer involvement.
When the RX series were still using ICEs, their YouTube videos regularly got anywhere from 50K-six figure view counts.
Now, either of them are lucky to get 10,000 viewers for anything they post there. The Internet is the backbone of their marketing, which makes this decline all the more apparent. Attendance at the events themselves isn't much better, either.
The only people that seem to be there are event staff, sponsors, teams, and VIP guests. It's practically empty otherwise.
Furthermore, Nitro RX has a TV deal with CNBC, and God only knows what those numbers are if the Internet figures are bad. For perspective, they're rarely if ever published.
It's truly incredible how much Travis and the FIA sold out for what I can only imagine is a high ESG social credit score. The fans already made it clear by leaving that they don't want this, and neither series is getting higher grid counts because of how stupidly expensive the EVs are to develop and maintain.
If it weren't for that all important ESG money and the fiat currencies the world is on, I think both series would already be in the stages of folding sometime this decade.
There is no way either of these series are making a profit from the EV transition, and it goes to show how wokeness is valued over the customers in the corporate world.
At least we still have the series mentioned in my first paragraph.
Hybrids strike the sweet spot between raw performance and spectacle the fans love as well as the technology and marketing valued by the manufacturers. It's no wonder the truly biggest car manufacturers (the Japanese ones) are focused on this tech instead.
It seems that this is all a manipulative way for them to become the bullies they claim to have resisted for so long.
It turned out that they were really fame hungry narcissists.
Elderly people and children die, yet these freaks get all the attention in the media.
It's disgusting; I hope this fad fades into the same historical dustbin as lobotomies and circus freakshows.
Trans cult BS is everywhere; there has to be a point where enough is enough.
This is what happens when a government completely sells out to a power-hungry, unelected organization full of tyrannical, eugenicist bankers (UN/WHO/WEF).
They start by demoralizing and displacing the original natives and then proliferate their country with the promotion of degeneracy and division.
With their resources and the discontentment among actual gamers, I'd say it's a safe bet that most of the Xbox account's followers and likes are artificially generated, purchased bots.
And underhanded monetization
What happened to simply logging off if you don't like what people are saying online?
I can't imagine what it must be like for these people to be so miserable all the time.
Continuing from your other comment, I also found it interesting how they still tear into "Q" and "conspiracy theorists", but still haven't gone after the WEF, IMF, Open Society Foundation, BLM destroying cities; Biden and his criminal, treasonous Jerry Springer grade family; Kamel-Toe's retardation, the wide open borders and ensuing criminality, or the big pharmaceutical companies.
They would have already made fun of these organizations if they were truly as "anti-establishment" as they've been marketed.
I think South Park is a textbook example of controlled opposition these days.
I guess they WERE the establishment.
Figured this out when real mavericks like Alex Jones or James Woods kept getting banned, censored, or ejected from events in a supposedly free country but Matt and Trey have mostly kept their multi million dollar partnerships and are still promoted in and by Hollywood.
They know who writes the checks; hence them cucking to the left.
The warning signs were there when they started making the same tired Trump jokes as everyone else in 2015, but I think they just became SNL and Kimmel tier propaganda when Trump got elected.
I stopped watching the new episodes in 2018 and only occasionally watch the pre-2015 seasons, having mostly moved on from the show.
Considering?
How about DOING it?
In a functioning world, Pfizer's staff would have already been arrested and jailed, the company would have ceased operations, had its assets confiscated, and its products pulled off the shelves.
We need some damn accountability before this happens again and again.
This is the bigger question for me:
Why does a brand of snack food think anyone cares about what its political and social opinions are?
