I’ve talked about this many times. I have a lot of regrets about Gamergate, the biggest one that I got drawn into focusing my efforts on an online culture war that could not be won instead of using the backchannel power I had to get policies enacted.

Gamers never give up. Winning is like the whole point of gaming.
That's what you people never understood and why you could never beat us.  

And now we have Korean butts with LEDs on PlayStation, Pokemon with guns on Steam and git gud games are more popular than ever.
The opposite of everything that you wanted happened and most of your sites are dead.

GamerGate won a tremendous victory.

Also slavery itself is anti-capitalist, you don't own your labor or capital.

a slave doesn't own their labor, but isn't monetizing humans as property the most capitalist thing possible

[Uncle]

if slavery still existed today do you think gamer slave owners would force some of their slaves to learn mobas and be their support and win games on pain of punishment

or like instead of going to the smash tournament you send your slave as your representative instead

Brianna Wu is still a complete moron, fraud, scammer and unrepentant liar who should never be trusted about anything.

Yeah, she is scummy as hell. It is also not the first time she changes her political alignment for convenience.

[kaleidoscopium]

That started from this tweet btw:

  

Let me guess, they turned on you Briana?  And now they're the crazy ones?

She's been coming over to the moderate normal side the past couple years, been good to see

I believe it was the reaction from the left to the october 7th attacks that pushed her over the edge. She suddenly started to appear in my twitter feed once she made that switch which is kind of amusing

Definitely been before that, at least since last summer. Might be her biggest move however

Let's cut down the chatter comrades and let's get to work. Which dick should we suck tonight - Apple's or Microsoft's? Praise the sun why not both.

So did all the Palworld feels get repurposed to tell Steller Blade to "Put some goddamned pants on young lady, you're not going out like that."
?

Is funny how many of the biggest Palworld haters are also hating Stellar Blade, like Dice.

If "monetizing humans as property" is the most capitalist thing possible then socialism is the most capitalist thing possible.

I'd also note that slaves were typically a financial drain. They actually cost more than free laborers. Ironically, one of the reasons the Plantation economy was so inefficient is that the culture viewed accruing more slaves as how to become wealthier so they almost never sold slaves unless they were problems or they had to address their amassing debts. They also became very paranoid about abolitionists buying them to free them if they were put on the market.

"Art" that caters to the wrong gaze isn't art, it didn't go through the proper artistic process or else it would have become ethical.

The tide turned on their shit a while ago. Pushback is everywhere and started with the trans garbage. Women are pushing back on the puritan bullshit too.

not corporately/mainstream-media-wise

the suicide squad game is brand new and has this harley and the progress flag and all that

Boards around the world are now focusing on profitability and there are mass redundancies going on. I'd say anyone working in DEI better sharpen up their resume. 

The Suicide Squad game is a hangover of the excesses of the past and will be another in the long line of go woke, go broke financial disasters like Saints Row, The Marvels, Ant Man, The Little Mermaid, Forespoken etc. 

Meanwhile you've got Top Gun Maverick as the vanguard of much more traditional masculine storytelling, as well as surprise hits like Sound of Freedom and Oppenheimer coming through. Traditional storytelling never really went away and neither did chick flicks (see Barbie), but what we're seeing is a complete rejection of that forced diversity bullshit and that's currently following through to business decisions that are going to influence mainstream culture for the next decade or more.

On the gaming side, Sony just showcased literal T&A dressed up as an action game in their Soy of Play show. Shit is changing and it's changing fast.

Is there a big contingent of people bitching about being woke or whatever? 

All the complaints I have seen is being a technical mess at points and having atrocious mission design. 

(Barbie is a chick flick? Well, I guess in the strick sense, I just associate those films with romance, something that Barbie deliberately subverts).

The woke thing about Suicide Squad is how they off Batman and how the Joker is now soy. 

There's this videogame 'writing' outfit all the corpos hire that comes up with that shit.

That sounds like typical “I hate this game, let me show this scenes out of context”. (I just know that Harley kills Batman unceremoniously and a Joker was in a video titled “introducing elseworlds”).

Isn’t the game also in a blatant “to be continued” or at least with (deluded optimistic) to be continued in DLC, BUY THE SEASON PASS.

Slavery (serfdom) as you're describing it is feudal, not capitalist. The problem is that capitalist has become short hand for 'involves markets' and because we're in a capitalist system and everyone is thick as fuck, the assumption is that 'making money off of stuff' is the worst thing one can do, when we've got about 100k years of human history indicating that actually, people appointing themselves as the boss of everyone else for spurious reasons like who their dad was or what god has said to them this morning is the default.

I've seen the scene in context and it's totally fine and I could see it being in the comics unchanged. (In effect, Harley is doing what villains never do, just shoot the most dangerous guy with no powers in the face.)

Joker is upcoming playable DLC character, I don't know anything about it other than it's Joker from an alternate universe since the one in the Arkhamverse died back in City.

The ending has them going into the multiverse but seems more like hedging their bets incase a sequel is desired rather than an intentional sequel hook. Many of the Rocksteady leads already all left the company before finishing the game.

[Boredfrom]

Kind of want to play the game but sure as hell I’m not going to pay 70 dollars for it. 

It was a bad bet to make this the final game in the Rocksteady’s Batman universe if they plan to continue the story in DLC.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Ending with them actually killing the Justice League is kind of a bummer, even though the squad is likable.

[Nintex]

I think the comic/cape games outside of maybe PlayStation Spider-Man games have peaked anyway. 

Not sure why MS is doing a Blade game in 2027(?) but then again their tent pole release this year is Indiana Jones

Looks really good. Will buy two copies - digital and physical to support these wonderful developers.

The bio description for Wonder woman is pretty cringe

It's supposedly written from the perspective of Lex Luther which seems hard to imagine. From the scenes I've seen it also seems like Wonder Woman receives a lot of respect etc. while the male heroes keep getting humiliated.

Like cool if the game is out to take a dump on the justice league but then at least have the consistency to also do it to wonder woman

Not room for debate, we need to go scorched earth on this chud developers for the crime of firing someone for a political context we don’t fully understand and making lewd games.

Eh, I think I know the reason:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Is not evil Luthor, but Earth 2 Luthor.

Also, isn’t she the only one that isn’t brainwashed? That’s why she gets the more sympathetic point of view.

[benji]

The real problem with that is it wasn't written by anyone familiar with how Themyscira's (let alone the Amazons in general) been portrayed for the last 40 years.

[Boredfrom]

Guys, it sounds like the game has many low points but it doesn’t sound like the game is particularly “woke” or “soy”.

That I can totally see.

But the big problem is that most people playing this game probably don’t know it either.

They did change Deadshot to be Black. And no, I'm not saying from the comics, from the previous Arkham games.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, but it was also because Will Smith… so  

But that should be an indication how little they care about the past games.
