A homie told me how this game is basically fascist propaganda. They mention that there are no workers rights for the Pals in the description and some other stuff that raises eyebrows.

I haven't watched most of it. But the first section literally is misinformation about a situation that she is biased against.

Ah it's about that... Yeah death for me will always be a last resort. Because if it's glorified then we will be no better. We use death as a last ditch to resolve Contradictions.

TW: SA, Mentions of Grooming, Mentions of Bullying

I was browsing YouTube because I was trying to figure out anything about Nostalgia as a part of fascism as I've been thinking about a lot of movies and shows that have been trying to basically reboot all this stuff from the '80s '70s and 60s that really don't need to be rebooted.

And then this popped up and as an Ex-Gamer™ the name was oddly familiar and was a recent video. I watched it and I legit was thinking: "Holy fuck, he thinks that everyone had the Good Ole Days everyday."

And it has reinforced that I need to find something about there being like "Good Nostalgia" and "Bad Nostalgia" or maybe "Grey Nostalgia".

Cause I remember when I had a phone as a kid but unfortunately, I remember the same tech was the same that lead to me being groomed. Heck when VHS was around there are people who have been negatively affected by that technology.

I remember playing Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid but unfortunately I was one of the poor black kids that couldn't get the newest booster packs every single time they came out and therefore I usually got stomped in the games and also I was the only black kid that really played it so in my school that was majority black I would usually get picked on heck I almost fought a kid over trying to steal a deck of cars that I had hey I had a dual disc that was made by somebody that was torn up because some bully didn't like it. And don't get me started on the hijinks in middle school I think of that make it hard to think of The Good Ol Days.

But my point is that yes Nostalgia is nice but not something to submerge yourself in to hide from everything. Especially when your nostalgia requires everyone else to be your lesser.

Understandable, I find this to be a valid post of the idea of diversity in media. I've had the same thing but ngl seeing a POC not in a sports game makes me happy.

I've never tried it, I'll be sure to now especially since it should've been a milestone for my rehabilitation from being a Gamer™

I feel this,and I'm sorry that life is hell for you comrade.

It was funny they complained that the game was woke and I was like:

SAINTS ROW AS A SERIES ALLOWS YOU TO BE A GIRL BOSS AND SLAP PEOPLE WITH DILDOS.

Steins Gate

Is that a visual novel?

So a bit of context, I've been having s video from Diesel Patches and a bunch of what I calle."Reactionary Commentary Channels" talking about diversity once again. But this time, they tried to convey their Bigotry through "commentating" on a Dove commercial where they have different women of different ability and ethnicity be shown in the Unreal Engine to do the usual Rainbow Capitalist commercial.

Unfortunately, Diesel don't talk about how Rainbow Capitalism sucks but just said that wanting diversity in a game having someone looking like you is selfish and pointless as games are an escapism (Which is Sad). And I've been wanting to make maybe one of those Reddit videos of people talking about their experiences.

So this one is basically: When did you see yourself in a game? What was it that made you relate to the character and would you prefer games to show your identity more and how?
