    What is it with these guys and the shitty anime booba gatcha games? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone complaining about woke “ruining gaming” that doesn’t play the absolute worst empty addictive slop possible. It is honestly like they cannot understand the difference between something enjoyable because they jerk off to it, and something enjoyable because it is a nice experience.

      it isn’t just the chuds, or just dudes, many of those games are popular with women and enbies
      a lot of r&d goes into making sure the predatory gacha games can maximally exploit the vulnerable
      one of the vulnerabilities for the boobie gacha games being loneliness

        True, their business model isn’t to make a good game, but to make an addictive gambling game. The problem is when CHUDs claim to be protecting the “sacred art of gaming” and yet almost exclusively play the worst examples of the medium and get offended at everything else.

      I have a love-hate relationship with how the (chinese especially like Hoyoverse or Kuro Games) game companies use gooner fanservice sometimes, then the whole ‘discussion’ about WuWa (Wuthering Waves, gacha game, genshin but from Kuro Games) winning the Players’ Voice because of “no DEI” (???) I had to ignore it to not get myself in thata argument since I can’t judge for myself if that’s true since I haven’t played WuWa in a while but likely either untrue or exaggeration (there’s a LOT of reasons, but I know one of them is not DEI).

      I’m partly convinced the worldwide falling birthrate is because these people find gooning to be easier than tricking women into dating them.

    Shoutout to Apex Legends. Apex had an NB character as one of their original 5 launch heroes and they have a trans character voiced by an actual trans woman. It always felt like they were being sincere with their wokeness and weren’t doing it just to pander.

    Also Warframe. But the Warframe devs are just cool in general tbh.

    It’s missing the pronouns guy wojak face. pronounjak

    Also never forget andypants made a useless unplayable AI slop game where he paints LGBT as literal Nazis and

    [CW: pedophilia]

    that he generated AI CSAM of his own daughter and put in there. Good fucking thing he lost custody of her.

    I remember when people were automatically calling Lost Records “woke” just because it has a black character but yeah they’re not racist they just don’t want politics in their games of course (proceeds to play Warhammer 40k, Fallout and Bioshock)

    How did the guy screaming at his camera about pronouns in Starfield not feel embarrassed and had enough confidence to post that to the internet? It’s like, second only to Drew Pavlou posting his own dad yelling at him to get a job.
