      Conservatives have always been against climate change. It goes:

      “There is no global warming.”

      “Okay global warming is real but it’s not that bad.”

      “It is that bad but it’s not man-made so there’s nothing we can do.” (Mainstream conservatives are starting to take this position)

      “It is man-made and it’s caused by non-Americans and non-whites, so we should eradicate those people.”

      The neo-nazi, terminally online gamergaters are still on the “it’s not real” part.

    I was on a Discord server with some people who went full chud over the years and I still remember this exchange:

    Chud 1: I started playing Stardew Valley with my girlfriend

    Chud 2: What’s that?

    Chud 2: [Posts a screencap of some random article about same-sex marriage in SDV]

    Chud 2: Ah. Woke crap.

    You don’t find that article by simply googling “Stardew Valley” and checking the first page. These people’s brains are so melted by chuddery that their first instinct when hearing about a game for the first time is specifically looking up if it is woke.

    Serious question: do bigoted chuds find options to be the same thing as forced LGBTQIA+ indoctrination because of their fixations on completionism and cheevo-points? lea-think

      The famous pronouns meltdown was literally because he saw an option to select pronouns in the character creation screen. It’s not even completionism, it’s literally just the existence of an option on screen at all.

        Didn’t he rant about escapism and how just seeing that option destroyed that escape? He needs there to be restrictions on others in order to feel free. i-am-adolf-hitler

        Hot take alert, but I feel a similar way about “badwrongfun” dogma about soulslike games or the like, where everyone must only play the “correct” way, and not even suggest otherwise or the freeze-gamer loses their shit. Even applies to, like, Cuphead or even Mario Kart. Seen that shit here, too.

      I can totally see why and how Trump captivated these rightoid dipshits so much and kept feeding them lies. They really believe everything at face value. A game has a mixed race person in it, ipso facto the publishers are diehard communists and not just marketing a game to an american audience in 2024.

        “Mixed race family” being an issue sounds fucking 1960s. That’s how far back things are backsliding in Burgerland.

    These guys are dumber than a box of rocks

    FFVII: Forced crossdressing! “Subtle pro-climate action messaging… you start the game working for an eco-terrorism group” data-laughing

    Witcher 2 is not woke despite the game being pretty heavyhanded about racism being bad. Also you can betray your cop friend and join forces with a minority freedom fighter after the first act

    Deus Ex is apparently not woke despite the same spreadsheet shitting on Cyberpunk 2077 for having anti-capitalist messaging and being pro-transhumanism and body modification

      They are of course, >!troonism!< & DEI is 5th generation asymmetric warfare against our supply lines. However, wars are won by logistics. Fighting any little skirmish along front lines in tertiary theaters is a strategical blunder that is bound to distract & avert and ultimately tire out before hot engagement has even begun. And precisely that is factored into the plans of the adversary already. It is critical to understand that we are at a huge strategical disadvantage at the current state of the war. We have neither the troops nor the supplies to enact an assault along the entire front line.

      Instead, in order to achieve operational dominance we must establish a schwerpunkt along critical infrastructure of the enemy from which we can effectively pivot into offensive operations. The fulcrum is not the internet and certainly not computer games, as much as I understand that many like to believe they are, but [TOP SECRET]. A thrust along this axis penetrating enemy lines would immediately disrupt the adversary’s command and control over our supply lines and cause a cascading effect of disarray.

      By maintaining operational momentum we would be able to facilitate rapid exploitation of the breach achieving breakthrough, ultimately enveloping enemy forces and securing our most important strategic objectives for the moment.

      I mean… what do you even say after reading something like this. It’s fucking embarrassing.
