I recall, in fact, that Musk's million-dollar giveaway still happened, just under very slightly different wording, and he still hasn't been punished for either that or his previous pay-to-vote scheme back in the 2024 campaign season.
He got away with it twice because he was literally just copying Dem playbooks. If they took him to task over it they would have to explain why they've been doing the exact same thing for decades.
If a character doesn't have a sexy outfit, they will simply make a sexy version of the regular one.
The thing is, many on the right just haven't even accepted the premise of giving up control of their social lives to anyone at all, regardless of politics. Many just simply enjoy seeing the people they care about face to face instead. We're experiencing a really interesting paradigm shift right now where "what's possible" is being replaced by "what's desirable" in people's outlook.
What we really need to do is forget the idea that social media should be such a large part of our lives. The behaviours we hate to see from far left zealots are self defeating, and their spaces will eat themselves before too long, especially as many of the earnest moderate left types will continue to get pushed out because they need someone to engage negatively with.
It's been quite a while, but I think you really just had to recall multiple different triggers/effects to make your way through it effectively. Like, you kept changing to water level to access different areas, so you have to remember what is on each level and how to access it. Then to make things even more confusing you get the heavy boots part way through, which changes how you navigate the temple. I can understand how that would be frustrating for people who haven't "trained" for solving such problems through years of gaming prior.
They view themselves as the directors of society. Since people aren't forming relationships these days, they've convinced themselves that the problem is too many attractive women in media ruining men's standards, and not that corporations are invading every single segment of our lives so nothing can develop organically anymore (an environment directly hostile to romance).
They're winning just by [existing] and [being kind] and, dare I say, [being regular people]
If THAT'S what you're losing to, you might want to re-evaluate your own playbook. Hell, if you pick up a bible you can learn these powers for yourself.
