We're probably getting fascism then, cuz it's easier. :/
Can I say something about the TLOU2 controversy? All these insufferable gamer nerds got so pissed at Abby for killing Joel and hurting Ellie that a huge number sent death threats to Abby's VA. In all the talk I've seen of this, I didn't see anybody mention that Laura Bailey (Abby's VA) and Ashley Johnson (Ellie's VA) ARE CLOSE FRIENDS WHO PLAY/LIVESTREAM PROFESSIONAL FUCKING DND TOGETHER EVERY THURSDAY. Like how tf does a person get so fucking disconnected from reality it seems like a good idea to threaten Laura over a character she played hurting a character her friend played? And the best part? Troy Baker - the VA for Joel - was the best man in Laura's wedding. They're literally all incredibly close friends and these delusional morons think they're somehow defending Troy's and Ashley's characters
Counterpoint: It's a great opportunity to tell gamers about all kinds of fucked up CIA shit.
That demographic skews pretty young. We totally have time to get to them before they ossify into permanent reactionaries.
Hell, I was kinda a reactionary in HS (and I supported Bernie at the same time) as I just repeated what I heard online. College is when I changed as I met more people and didn't have as much time to game.
Revolver Ocelot was Joel!? Seems like I'm going to have to play TLOU now...
I swear US leftists have no idea just how many chuds there are in Asia and many third world countries
^^^This
Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, and Hong Kong (hell even mainland) are hotspots from what I understand.
The worst it will do is just make a bunch of gamers spam anti communist stuff they heard in the game for like a year.
Know your history or you'll be doomed to repeat it quotes idiot who learns their history from a Call of Duty trailer.
But did you know Russian planes bombed a Highway with fleeing soldiers and civilians in a Middle Eastern Country? It was called "The Highway of Death"!!!
Can you believe it?! The Russians were the bad guys all along... thank god the CIA Operative is on our side!
So tons of rural folks have been displaced resulting in some frightening anecdotes. I saw my first MAGA mask today, and overheard someone expressing support for rounding up leftists.
These people are not a fucking joke and while most of them are frail old boomers or edgy teenagers the fact that this is a thing that is becoming mainstreamed should alarm everyone.
Tool up and find comrades. Time is running out for us.
This isn't meant as a generalization we have many comrades out in the mountains and woods, this is meant as a reminder that wherever you are, you are not far from the fash.
Robert Evans's war on everyone is a pretty good look at how the fascist right works and has gotten so strong https://soundcloud.com/user-234440623-899321285/sets/the-war-on-everyone
Yeah as I said in the title I think it's something everyone should definitely listen to.
Eh, "Communism bad." has been the majority American opinion since forever, that hasn't really changed.
As much as things suck, we're not back at 50s Red Scare levels yet.
The key word of your sentence, is "yet". It is coming, and it is coming fast.
It's already happening. Even as we speak, my secret network of crypto-marxist spies have infiltrated top gaming companies and have begun replacing straight white male protagonists with minorities, and have even created women without enormous tiddies. Some have even reportedly snuck in the legendary "politics" into the narrative structure of famously apolitical games.
It is too late to stop the gamercide, we have already won
Good thing Patton yeeted himself not long after WW2 ended. Saved the world a lot of trouble...
I legit wish Patton would have swayed the US and UK to attack the Soviets in '45 with Operation Unthinkable. They would have gotten swept to the Atlantic coast and the world would be a better place probably.
G*ming and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Luckily there's a very long, single-digit list of countries currently accepting travelers from the usa!
As dumb as this game's gonna be, I don't think chuds are gonna get nearly as many converts as they think they are. Odds are the vast majority of people playing aren't gonna care that much and just want to game/already agreed with the Red Scare shit before they even started playing.
A fuckin' Call of Duty game, or any video game for that matter, is not gonna be the deciding factor on if communism wins or not lol.
Most people are going to be like, "Oh cool, I get to play the cold war", but won't change their views at all.
Seriously, multiplayer games are nearly unplayable cause of the "culture" that has grown around it, games would be so much better without g*mers.
Hm, thats a really interesting side effect tbh. But yeah, japan is still extremly problematic society-wise.
As a gamer, I'd not like to get the gulag, but the wall directly. I ain't gonna be dealing with this shit.
The only proper response to this shit is to spam the comment section with gore, scat porn, pages long quotes of Das Capital, State and Rev, and maybe some random Stirner shit
Those are to scare away the third party normies who may stumble into the comment section, the egoism is the bait for the fash since they seem to be attracted to that kind of stuff and the Marx/Lenin quotes are just to take up space and annoy the shit out of them
training myself to have a pavlovian response to scat porn, triggering a complete recitation of Der Einzige und sein Eigentum from memory whenever i take a shit
When you come for me, I will go with quiet dignity. I will wear my finest tie, and I will kiss my copy of Mount and Blade: Bannerlord on my way out the door.
