It's simple. The rest of us do not want to view gaming through the lens of college-level English classes with its menagerie of post-structuralism, post-colonialism, Marxism, Feminist theory, Queer theory, multiculturalism, and so forth.

Definitely check out Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World). One of the more mature shows I've ever seen, and definitely one of the darker ones.

I think the problem with sending in F-16s is that you'd have to remove Assad's air defenses first. That said, F-22 in an air to ground role strikes me as just plane wrong. Perhaps it makes sense if there are a very limited number of targets (since the Raptor can't carry that much ordinance), but I would think the US…

I think your point is right on.

From now on, I will be exclusively referring to them as "Social Wustice Warriors". Thank you.

Good article, but I would add a few things (since I've been using a similar setup for a few years):
