Because they’re all watching the same echochamber hate videos made by idiots recommended by the youtube algorithm.

I’m always amazed that as a British person it feels like I've actually read and understood the constitution far more than a lot of the Americans that hide behind it.

They all feed off the same sources of their hate. They love talking about how everyone but them are NPCs when they always parrot the same lines. 

These people must either have nothing better to do, or had what they consider a traumatic experience. Like he hit on a woman and freaked out when he found out she was trans.

Oh please it’s his views being vomited all over his store page that got him shit canned. He was also given a warning prior to this by Valve that the store page was not the place for his personal brand of garbage.

Hahahahahahaha.

You seem to be missing the entire problem.

Seems like it’d be exhausting to be so focused on something that doesn’t really affect you in any way. So focused that - for some reason - you literally can’t shut your mouth long enough to think about whether floating your crazy out there will have consequences.

Exactly. Whilst also conveniently glossing over that politics and agendas have ALWAYS been in gaming and pop culture. As long as it’s a worldview they’re already bought in on, or feel like a part of, then it’s not politics it’s just “the old old way things were”. I do get why, it isn’t exactly easy to admit to…

Most publishers are virulently transphobic and rant about it openly?  Interesting.

They’re also the “keep politics out of gaming” crowd whenever there’s a female or POC protag, because clearly anything that doesn’t star a cishet white male is part of the “woke agenda”. They just want to complain and whine.

So your comment amounts to this: we should either individually criticize every single one of the thousands and thousands and thousands of developers, or just not criticize at all

Why are all these transphobic dickhead weirdos all the same KIND of transphobic dickhead weirdo? They never seem to log off.

It’s not as if Disney/Lucasfilm has a really good track record of good decisions regarding the Star Wars franchise in the last couple of years...

Only in the games industry, would a man of such singular lack of writing talent like David Cage find success. If he jumped 10 levels up he'd still only be a hack. So this news, is rubbish. Not that Star Wars is the home of peerless storytelling but ye gods, Cage is inept.

Awesome, a studio that has never done an action game and is famous for its writing, which sucks. And had a big workplace harassment scandal a few years back. Why the fuck would you let them take this property on?

The Mormon Belt is also home to all the supplement and oil companies.

The podcast The Dream gets into this a bit, and into the overlap between prosperity gospel and MLM schemes. It’s a great listen, at least the first season about MLMs. The second about the “wellness” industry didn’t grab me as much.

Having been raised Mormon (don’t worry, I got better), and having had several family members fall victim to pyramid schemes (remember ACN, anyone?), I am also very interested in this!

I’d be interested in an analysis of the seemingly HEAVY overlap between Mormons and pyramid schemes.
