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?

That was unironically cool and good though. Fuck Sony for being scummy.

That's true and I agree, but just before the Sony incident there was also a culture war thing going on about "wokeness" in helldivers https://vxtwitter.com/OnlyAWorldAway/status/1776372868273647715

That Grummz freak is 56 years old btw
