Gamer's traditionally have less political sophistication than a dead dog. Recent highly visible gamer moves have included review bombing Helldivers, screaming about not being able to see both labia t the same time in Stellar Blade, and whatever that Sweet Baby/DEI thing I haven't bothered to look at is. Idk what the scale of this roblox bs is, but i am interested in the phenomena of game rage campaigns where they get extremely self righteously mad over strange, often trivial shit and make it their entire life for a few days. Wtf is happening? Is this echoes of gamegate a decade later?

Steve Bannon is still out there and I believe him, Peter Thiel's pool of dark money explicity earmarked for funding far right culture war stuff, and others are still/always trying to kick off Gamergate part 2.

Here is a link to the QAA Roblox episode https://podverse.fm/episode/QT7-iV_Bx4 , there is some wild stuff in there
