God I hate anti-wokes. There are so many valid criticisms gamers could be making on games but these guys blaming marginalized groups instead of the real culprits makes real discussion impossible. Now you either have the anti-woke gamers or the other type that reject any type of criticism of games at all because complaining is now associated with the anti-woke crowd.
This is why I will always go hard on the literacy in general, social media brainrot, the venerating anti intellectualism. Ubisoft canceling 6 games including prince of persia after laying off 3000 workers due to major restructuring and the conclusion they come to is..... This? Post it on YouTube and get tons of views. The ways extreme intellectual laziness is rewarded just infects everything.
Oh shit the ants are evolving 🐜🐜🐜

Meruem was a gamer
You can tell because he wanted to commit genocide
He looks far too much like cell for me not to run the fade with him
shhhh you’ll awaken the power scalers
I read some .time ago about someone turning an anthill into a primitive computer. Pretty cool
Children of Time has something like this if you're into wild scifi
Swarm intelligence algorithm?
reminiscing fondly upon the times where the larger gamersphere thought Bobby Kotick was Hitler
Remember Jack Thompson?
Right? Like absolute ages ago, I actually seriously cared about ethics in game journalism. I still do, but recognize it's a very minor issue in the scheme of things.
It's absurd that there were industry mailing lists/chatrooms where people were asking other journos to cut their friend's game a break, people reviewing games built by their drinking buddies without even mentioning the personal relationship in passing, and (game) companies using their (often piss poor) representation of marginalized groups to try and silence valid non-bigoted criticism.
So I fell into GamerGate for a while. For a bit despite the behinning, they seemed to be primarily focused on getting journos to use responsible disclosure. I'm glad that trend mostly caught on.
It's so frustrating that it ended up being a vehicle for "anti-woke", racism, and misogyny to become openly acceptable to a whole chunk of people.
