Roblox Community Protests ‘Communism’ Update
www.404media.co
Welcome to Bloxburg players are holding “Anti Communism” signs and throwing boxes of pizza into the ocean to protest an attempt to create income equality.

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?

    I wonder how much of this type of thing is astroterfed by feds?

    Little lol. It’s more likely astroturfed by far right Prager/White nationalist movements basing off the sign design

      yeah, afaik the online freeze-gamer campaigns do get some degree of support from right wing propaganda outfits who have identified them as a way to radicalize the 12-28 male demographic. I have no idea how important that is as opposed to how much is organic.
