It’s like the left’s version of how Trump supporters always say celebrities should shut up about politics.

Either you are with us, or you are with the sexist, heteronormative white supremacists.

Atkinson, to his credit, doesn’t cite any specific examples of this recent “mob-ish” behavior.

As we see in this article trying to be analytical about the phenomenon leads right to accusations of siding with specific cases. Just seems like such a minefield even if you give the “correct” answer.

Aww, I thought it’d be fun...but, ok:

Cancel culture complaints can be two things:

Architects aren’t level designers. They design buildings for real-world usage (in most cases), not gameplay. Realism doesn’t necessarily equate with playability, as RDR2 exemplifies.

Is...Cyberpunk 2077 an Architecture Critique though? I’m not sure I accept the central premise of the article? Does CDPR even employ architects whose work merits this level of criticism or these just environmental artists being asked to draw some generic ass Cyberpunk enviroments? Should game developers consult with…

“That guy called us a mob, let's get him!!"

With the caveat that I have not read Mr. Beans’ statement in full, I have to say the parts quoted in this article sound like really good points. And then this article sounds like a perfect example of what he is talking about. Maybe the author of this article meant it to be like a meta ironic commentary? Like what bean…

And here comes the pitchforks and torches!

Don’t forget the ones who neither know or care what is going on as long as they get that sweet outrage hit.  Getting those people to mindlessly scream into the void is the Twitter and Facebook business model.

There's like a dozen cancel hashtags on Twitter at any given moment, but the AV Club still thinks "cancel culture" is a manufactured boogeyman of old white guys.

I’m pretty sure he read the room incredibly well.

he joins a chorus of privileged public figures who have felt a need to speak out against this maligned “cancel culture”—which tends to actually consist of marginalized communities speaking out against sustained, systemic abuse

Or...?

Because they feel entitled to these Greek letters, that’s the problem
