And the wild part is I remember for a time G*mers screeching about wanting critics like Roger Ebert to take games seriously as an art. Now they got their wish, developers are treating their projects like art, and they don’t like it because it dares to make them uncomfortable sometimes.

    I saw some chud on twitter post triumphantly that the Sydney Sweeney deodorant commercial was a cultural victory and a return to the good old days of twenty years ago. The sum total of their imagination is a hot lady selling them soap. Utterly dismal existence.

        They can’t watch a kids’ movie with spaceships shooting noisy bolts of light without seeing another front in the culture war. They’re miserable.

      good old days of twenty years ago

      The good old days of “caring about things makes you stupid and wrong, actually?” The good old days of “gay” as a way of describing anything bad? The good old days “Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory” being used to justify bullying, cruelty, and stalking on the internet?

      How can chuds miss those days when they never fully went away?

      You think we can make a deal with chuds that in exchange for getting fully automated luxury gay space communism, we promise that ads will have naked anime women selling them shit?
