The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails in sales

[Horizon Zero Dawn] won numerous awards and sold over 24.3 million units by April 2023, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games

Horizon Forbidden West received generally positive reviews from critics, and had sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023

Also, the Israel flag and ”Jewish citizen” are extremely :sus: in this context.

Convervatism is the new punk rock, that's why we're complaining that new media promotes hedonism and Satanism just like Bible thumpers did in the 80s and 90s!

The difference is 80’s and 90’s conservatives complained about any sexy images as being pornographic smut. The gamegate types only have an issue with hedonism when it’s someone else’s pleasure. Their pleasure, then they better get big booba waifu 24/7 or else it means they’re being oppressed.

Well you see those sales weren't real but were just fake sales done by the private corporation BlackRock whose investors are for some reason cool with this

It's cool that sexism gives me CPTSD to the point where it hurts to even read this bullshit. And then I feel angry with myself for "letting it get to me"

I fucking hate these nerds, capital G gamers. All they do is take energy away from real issues and ruin gaming by turning it into edgelord shit.

No, you losers, games would not be better if they were all waifu porn.

Ecofascism is something we should be incredibly wary of. Just as the Nazis used genuine worries and social issues to present an "alternative socialism" so too will 21st century fascists use the most pressing issues of today to trick people into supporting their toxic ideas.

Thanks for braving that cesspool to show this. Okay I am more believing now that this is a thing.

Still not gonna be anywhere near as big as OG Gamer Gate, because this one relies on people already having bought into anti woke propaganda. They don't have an in with normal people.

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago

Actually it might. They're trying to give it an anti corporate spin which might resonate with normal people. The image i posted is very far on the deranged spectrum but others are being a bit more conservative with their messaging trying to say "rich corpos are ruining your media.... With woke"

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I mean, maybe, but they still lead with Woke in that messaging and it's basically indistinguishable from Ben Shapino saying the Barbie movie will fail, only for it to gross over a billion dollars. It's old hat and people already have an opinion about it.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

IDG why they went with "woke," they had winners with "Politically Correct," and "Identity politics." All kinds of normies bought into that

Last time I checked The Last of Us was so successful they notnonly remastered the 1st but put out a woke AF pro communist award winning HBO series.

The Last of Us franchise has sold 37 million copies in 9 years

HBO's The Last of Us wins eight Emmys, including outstanding guest actor for Nick Offerman's Bill - Strawberry fields, forever.

I can't believe these chuds still parrot this "Go woke, go broke" shit when it so verifiably isn't true. Apex Legends, Overwatch, League of Legends have all the minorities you could ever want in their games and they're still at the top of their genres. Apex has a trans woman voiced by an actual trans VA, to the point that they might actually be sincere about it and not just ticking off boxes. Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate let you be gay and us-foreign-policy, they let you be a girl with a penis and everything too. They didn't go broke, did they?

It's so bizarre how they can ignore all this but then point to a single financial failure that has diversity and go "See, told ya! Go woke, go broke!"

there's an inverted pyramid of conservative intelligence. at the base top you've got your think tank fellows and your corporate lobbyists, people who can technically string a sentence together. as you head deeper, you meet the libertarians, the small business owners, the militia larpers, the Qanon and facebook boomers, and finally, at the very nadir are the geek fascists. these people would throw up if they had to read a book. their beliefs are incomprehensible and inconsistent because their only guiding principle is that of a howling infant demanding milky and blanky, and to that end they've adopted the most diseased talking points and catchphrases of everyone else in the pyramid.

There's a company, Sweet Baby Inc, that's a kind of narrative/design consulting firm for video games studios. Most of their consultancy is about better representing themes about race, women, queer people, that kind of stuff. They've apparently worked on some high profile stuff, like the Horizons games and Alan Wake 2.

Gamer nerds think this company is basically the Illuminati and is part of a global plot to make everyone gay or lower birthrates or something reactionary like that

This is interesting because that concept art was never actually used in the first game, the characters face barely changes from the first game to the second but if you compare it to that art it’s a big change.

Also that concept art appears to show a 12 year old tops.
