It’s like if you met someone gay in real life and asked them why.

In Alan Wake 1, Saga Anderson was White but in 2 she was race-swapped to being Black

I can’t imagine it would even help, no matter how many SBI-dev-meetings they released videos/transcripts of.  The conspiracy theorists would just insist there were more behind-the-scenes ones where they (somehow) forced more diversity.

Jesus christ these people are still hung up on Sarkeesian? Is it still 2015 for them or something?

Gamer-gate was a test-run for fascist strategies online, and this time next year it’s very possible that this country will be under a fascist dictatorship. That’s why we’re still “in this era.”

My initial response is:

Let’s face it: the main reason these mouthbreathers are bent out of shape about Saga Anderson being Black is because of the use of Norse mythology in Alan Wake and in her character’s story arc particularly. It’s barely veiled white supremacist nonsense.

When they proclaimed that football was too woke I knew for certain they had really jumped the shark

Aren’t these reactionary nerds tired of this? Isn’t this life exhausting? This can’t be fun, can it? Just a constant state of anxiety and paranoia in a hobby that’s supposed to be relaxing. This just seems like such an awful, shitty way to live. I mean....yes, if you’re a streamer/content creator, the anti-woke…

being a conservative/reactionary gamer sounds miserable, not allowed to enjoy anything, wouldn’t want to be woke.

Hold on wait... Are you saying when more “diverse” people are involved in the creative process... they end up with more diverse results? B-but wait... Video games are products with target audiences, right? Are you trying to tell me that other people than me, have money and therefore are also part of that target?

You know what? Even if it were pushing a woke agenda, I'd be fine with that. We have had enough machism, jingoism, chauvinism and racism in our games.

I love how the State of Play presentation shows a tone the original actually had.  It wasn't angsty or brooding, a characterization that was never accurate but somehow became Cloud's reputation.  Yes it has serious moments, but I really like how much they are looking to capture the actual charm of the original.  This…

Burning the American Flag as a means of protest is protected speech. Yet, not when it comes to questioning COVID, transgenderism or climate change I suppose.

What’s funny is that past the obvious, that she thinks that she should be allowed to be antisemitic and transphobic online as much as she wants and otherwise say whatever she pleases without her non-government employer being able to do dick about it (let’s get Roseanne in on this while we’re at it), is that she wasn’t…

As well they shouldn’t. I’m no fan of Disney, but the idea of such blatant disregard for free expression is absolutely chilling. The “usual suspects” of government expression violations are bad enough - prior restraint, individual ignorance, unequal application of regulations, etc. - but this is the highest ranking…

I think you don’t understand that the land in question is Disney’s to begin with. The FL legislature gave them the special district in order to entice Disney to build a money generating machine in what was otherwise Central Florida swamp land. Given that Disney is the largest employer in the state and one of if not…

1) Whether or not Disney should have a special tax district is not at issue. The reason why their tax district was taken from them is.

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…
