I can't really say for certain since I don't own it. Judging from the early gameplay I watched since it was a game I was kind of interested in because of enjoy previous games and the setting. It seems to be a "safe" game in the sense of no red pilling or wokeness outside the gender option. Which is kind of what I was expecting out of a Call of Duty game anyway.
Think of it like with journos and Far Cry 5. They were expecting a game that would demonize white christians. When in reality it took no hard stance against said religion by having it be a cult as the enemy and plenty of good characters that were also christian (and white).
Even if they might not seem like they'll delete it. I'll archive it just in case anyway.
Define what this "community" is, seeing as we're now two degrees separated from the original KIA that most people probably found this place through. But trust me when I say that I'm more aware of people wanting to change the foundation of my beliefs pretty much anywhere. Somehow, I'm not really surprised when I see someone make a bitter turn in this world anymore.
On a side note that's somewhat related here. Fuck gamergate. I know that a lot of people joined here because of it, but I can't stand that movement anymore. It's honestly disgusting how desperate people were to avoid being labeled "Right-wing". And a big fuck you to anyone that considers yourselves liberals. You're cowards, and a cause of the majority of the west's ills. And your ignorance of social/political dealings before that movement is pure retardation.
It's already happening that way today. For people who grew up in the 90s or 2000s, think about how many shows had the whole "girls can be as good as boys" with sports stories there were. It might not be the supremacy that TheImpossible1 is talking about (yet), but it is a point for why there's a point to this. I'd hate to say it, but the "base" of woke culture has been brewing in the US for many years now.
I like Nichegamer, and despite the name, they do write news about mainstream titles. I'll always miss Oneangrygamer, but that sounds like something you would dislike if you just want info for games.
I'll echo what everyone else said about finding let's plays. Those will have the most accurate details of what you'd want to look for. Probably someone that isn't focused on editing a lot for entertaining their subs if you want to get info.
Granted, I think that most content creators in this field are leftists, but as long as they don't put their politics in their videos. Then I can live with that compared to most journos.
Are they saying it's based or inspired by a true story officially? Apparently it's based on the original author's upbringing and chess, but he made a fictional character to represent himself that's a female. I'm not really certain if it should be considered "based on" if the main character is different. Then again, the events are supposedly what happened, so that seems a bit confusing to me.
On a somewhat related note. If someone states that woman should be capable of competing with men in esports, point them over to the disparity in chess. The people I'm referring to aren't SJW's that are claiming sexism in the industry are keeping women out. It's just that it should be made clear that just because something doesn't resolved around physical strength or speed like a traditional sport. Doesn't just make the playing field even, not inherently at least.
You know what, maybe that's what we need to show how utterly insane things have gotten. Police gets shit on by the left, right, whatever direction. They might as well just quit on us seeing as people think that they harm us more than help. And don't get me wrong, I'm aware that there's many that support law enforcement, myself included.
Honestly, I'm sick of hearing this crap from people from the other side, my alleged side, wherever. It's the same uninformed shit over and over and over again. They take the blame for everything.
Oh some black guy got shot because he had a knife? They're racist. Stand down because of a politician's orders despite riots. They don't defend us. Yadada...
This isn't some both sides argument I'm trying to make. No, this is an everyone is retarded thing I'm talking about. People want to say there's only a few good cop? Then fine, let them all walk away. Good, bad cop, don't care. If this is the shit us Americans are going to vote for, then we don't deserve them. Let crime rates raise. Let murders go unsolved, junkies fill the streets. Maybe at that point, people can get their heads out of their asses.
I know they didn't actually say the phrase "truth to power" in this case. But leftists have really found a way to even ruin the word "truth". Aside from the aforementioned phrase as a means for them to claim victimhood. I really hate when someone uses the term "my truth".
First off, we already have a perfectly good term for what they're supposed to mean when they say "my truth". That being "my side of the story". Secondly, it's a bullshit thing to say because there's only one truth, the truth. It's almost like it's a weasel word to try and get people to be on your side despite what actually happened. It's about as vapid as when people say something is "their opinion" as if that's a meaningful defense against criticism.
They done plenty of dumb things over the years, and people still choose to use them as their primary/only site to watch videos. It's just so engrained for most people, including myself even if I have tried to use the alternatives more often these past 4-5 years.
Personally, I've never been a fan of the phrase "we just wanted to play vidya/video games". I don't really like the idea of "we" not including myself in this case, letting this stuff go on just because they didn't attack video games.
Waiting until it comes for you is foolish and outright selfish to be quite frank. And I hate that this is somehow the standout phrase for gamergate.

Quote that Wigmore was referancing that led to his ban:
“We have to collectively in essence burn down the Republican Party, we have to level them, because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again,” Rubin said on MSNBC, as user @Maajid initially quoted her words on Twitter.
Of course, the original is still up on Twitter being a quote about what this woman said on national television.
Also to note, Wigmore was quoting it as a means to show how crazy leftists are getting now that they believe themselves in power. Not that he himself believed in it.
This is kind of like that thing people know about where a post that says "kill all whites" is okay, while "kill all blacks" would get deleted. Except that it's targeted towards people known to be part of a certain side. In this case, someone who compaigned for brexit.
The both sides arguement has been massively overused, especially during these last few years in politics. I've hated that people accept it because it's the "nonextreme" path. It almost never gets questioned by many people who want to stay out of the conflict, but there's also never been an arguement made for that position.
Could someone argue the existence of irregularities and still say that Trump lost anyway? Perhaps, but that would only be if these irregularities occured in a few counties at most. But one side has shown it's a lot more than just that, and that it's at least worth looking into.
And another thing. Since when has fraud just been accepted? If the arguement is that it happens all the time in a small scale, why should we just accept it? We have a right to vote in the US, and if there's fraud, then the people doing it are trampling on our rights. I don't care who's doing it, because they're ultimately screwing with everyone when they do it.
I didn't mention this in my rant about neutrals last week. But I personally feel that most people who try to take middle ground are usually left leaning. Not leftists, or the extreme type trying to pretend to win some consession. Just the type that don't want to admit that their side can be wrong, or being crazy, or in this case breaking the law.
If the Biden presidency is worse than I expect. And it's already pretty bad in my view given what he said he'd done once in office. Then I'll this shade towards those "moderates" that couldn't make up their minds. Or just went "both sides bad".
When it comes to politicians like Yang, Tulsi, even Sanders to an extent. I'll never understand what gives them cred among this base. It's not hard to tell that there are major issues with that platforms. Some of which is probably from trying to court those that want to vote dem.
It's always the same talking points. "Sensible" gun control, only women should have a say on abortion, stopping poverty by taking wealthy people's money and giving it to poor, illegals. That's all still there with their platform just like Biden.
It's baffling to me, and honestly makes me question what people actually stand for.
That is what "we" have been doing. "We" being people on this site since this is one of the alt-tech platforms. It's just that normies, even the ones that oppose this censorship, don't put in the effort of changing.
I know a lot of people complain that Trump did little-to-nothing about challenge big tech. And regardless of weather people do move to alt-tech, I'd still want him or any leader to do something about censorship. It's absurd that any company, especially ones based in the US, can violate the rights of US citizens.
A lot of people bring up the fact that most to pretty much all alt-tech sites are filled with right-wingers or people who are "hateful". I'll say what I always say in response. It doesn't matter what people on those sites believe or are. If we don't take that over blatant censorship, then free speech is dead. Also, youtube and twitter allow literal commies, so don't give me any bs about fringe groups infesting alt-tech.
There's a lot more I'd like to say on the topic. But that's probably better for a thread of its own instead of a reply. Unfortunately, it'll be filed under the posts I want to write but will take a month to get to like with the one I had about neutrals.
It was always going to lead to that from the original base of class struggle. The fundamentals being that someone or some group is oppressing another. It was evil now as it's evil today. Because it's always blaming someone else for one's problems instead of working to fix them.
Also because old-school commies were a lot less diverse (Read: Mainly white). I know people point to Antifa being mostly white, but that's assuming they're the only ones that push marxist ideology, which isn't the case.

This happened a couple days ago, and has also been reported by other major publications like Fox and Reuters.
These raids are led by Germany because of laws passed in 2018. Though they also occurred in EU countries like Italy and France, and even non-EU ones like Norway and the UK.
The suspects are said to have expressed “racist” and “xenophobic” sentiments on the internet, while one is accused of “insulting a politician.” According to Reuters, the unnamed politician is a woman who has been insulted online.
A major one that gets pointed out. But I also want to add how messed up it is to arrest someone even if they were "racist" and "xenophobic". And I do mean actually those things, not what minor thing upsets SJWs or far-leftists. Free speech is dead if one is not willing to protect all speech or expression, and I fear that's the direction we're heading to in the US.
100% this. The issues we're having in the west are far from something that just popped up in the last decade. This might be the time period where people are waking up to it, but these groups have almost always been leading towards this insanity.
