If you want to talk about an honest discussion, consider the sample set you plugged into your search. You didn't go through two years of articles on VGC or GameSpot. You plugged indiscriminate search criteria into an AI. We just had a discussion a few days ago about how mainstream media is not covering major gaming news, but if you're reading gaming news outlets, it's been layoffs for the past two years dominating the news. Gaming news outlets would have very little reason to ever use the word "hunger", for instance, and "transgender" would apply to far more articles than those about fictional characters.

Ai, google trends in english, what else does one need? Even after I gave precise google trends inputs so that the observations are reproducible? Your reply proves my point yet again. Peace.

Your precise Google Trends inputs are precisely what I took issue with, because they're a bad sample set for reasons that I pointed out.
