    Half-baked, depressed social theorizing time on my part.

    The way they're all dropping any pretenses of being "progressive" in favor of catering to, like, frothing nerds just affirms the fact that culture is heading in an increasingly overt fascist direction. Sign of the times, I guess.

      Yup. Making capitulation to whoever can organize the most visible reactionary hate campaign your official policy isn't going to lead anywhere good.

        The 90s are coming back, aren't they? We're going to have "game of the year" appointees before the fucking games are even playable, and their advertising will be basically misanthropic "you are a loser, also buy our game, you loser" statements, and tacky porn. Again. rust-darkness

          God I can't stand the "you are a loser" advertising of anything. Advertisers are just grown-up schoolyard bullies trying to psychologically torment us for porky-happy.
