If you’re joking I apologize in advance but why should that be illegal?

Not exactly, but it sounds interesting nonetheless and I’ll check it out!

Will do!

I like this idea I’ll look around for this

There is lots of beauty in the mundane.

“I believe that dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet, shutting down media, shutting down elections or shutting people out of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most surefire way to destroy democracy,” Vance said.

The jokes write themselves these days.

Maybe I’m the outlier but I have always failed to see chat history being very important. Realistically when is the last time you’ve combed through chat histories and why? If it’s to look for important information you can just write down the important parts and the rest is useless. I’m not trying to be elitist or anything I’m just genuinely curious hoping someone can explain this to me.

Where are your well-supported points and meaningful dialogue?

You’re missing the point of what I said. Concord and Dustborn did not try to send a message, they tried to get the profits they thought would come from associating with the message, and implemented it horribly. This is not activism. That would be like saying Instagram changing their logo to rainbow for a month is activism.

As for true activism, video games are both entertainment and an art form. Saying to “leave that shit at home” is missing the point of artistic mediums in their entirety.

You’re telling me that a bland and generic Overwatch clone with character designs that were reductive to the groups they were supposed to represent failed because of activists? The games you listed didn’t fail because of activism, they failed because their “activism” was a marketing stunt instead of being actually progressive. There are plenty of games developed by people that care about those issues where they’re represented accurately and appropriately. Those games usually do well and win awards. Making a game where you meaninglessly and inaccurately pander to minority groups is not the result of activism, it’s trying to leech off of actual activism.

You would have to jump through a lot of hoops to conclude that activism makes you a bad game developer. If they’re exploiting their customers constantly to try to increase profit margins, they are more than likely exploiting their workers, who they have much more control over.

It’s because of their shitty horrible business practices, nobody wants to pay $100 for a rushed game and nobody wants to invest time into their 500th live service game that they’ll stop supporting in a year.

There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.

Idk something about strengthening American economy making it more self reliant. Which is why he’s putting tariffs on all of the things we can’t sustainably produce here and are outsourced for a reason, y’know, so we can, uh…

Not to mention, blue means democrat. If the lines are blue they can blame it on the democrats when things go wrong!

I don’t really see people defending TSA anywhere. I just see people pointing out that Trump thinks DEI initiatives are at fault, while simultaneously thinking that thinning out the workforce in a notoriously understaffed field will strengthen the workforce.

I will spice up your life I’m an independent voter and didn’t vote for Orange Nero :D

One of these will make the news and one wouldn’t. If the goal of a protest is to spread awareness and draw attention, going to where politicians live will probably get you a restraining order and a cozy ride in the back of a police vehicle and the protest will likely go unnoticed.

Not saying these types of protests are not necessary or unhelpful! I’m just saying that, in order to draw the most attention to your cause, you inconvenience daily lives. Those are the things that make headlines and viral posts, not a secluded protest on private property.
