The Dark Side To The Video Game Industry

The video game industry has perhaps done more to indoctrinate children into wokeness than any other industry. Yet it largely escapes scrutiny in the mainstream. That needs to change.

As an avid gamer, I will say that these "reviews* are largely left by "critics" that aren't actual gamers. We don't want to see this shit either.

Gamers are not being indoctrinated by these weirdos. We relentlessly mock them

[slicerneons]

Hold up, we are not 'Finally' shedding light on woke gaming.
Gamers have been fighting against this for a decade.

[AmirDarkOne]

anti woke started with gamers.
gamers point out woke corruption 10 years before anyone else.

Making Batman gay doesn't suddenly make shitty gameplay better.

As a gamer and a parent of kids that game. I do not purchase games like this. Gamers are fighting back by not buying the crap games that are being pushed out. It is not going unnoticed anymore. The gaming industry is starting to get the same as the movie industry.

[derkaiser]

You don't understand that gamers usually don't like critics. Suicide Squad was one of the biggest flops of the year because we didn't buy it. Now, it is Gamergate 2.0 where gamers are fighting against the woke agenda and we are winning.

This has been an ongoing saga in the games industry Matt. Ever since Gamergate (2015?), the entire industry has been going downhill. Feminists threw punches at the gaming industry, gamers fought back, then said feminists cried "victim to online bullying" and that's where the mainstream media and general public were engaged, hearing about the retaliation of the gamers but not the actions that triggered it.
Then pissweak CEOs bent the knee to the activists, ignoring the gamers, inserting the stench of DEI, ESG and feminism into all the biggest games. Gamers have wondered for years why all of their favourite games had this vile activist aftertaste, now we know: Sweet Baby Inc.
The modern gaming media does not hire journalists, just their university activist friends who tick boxes and don't love games at all. They'd rather side with the corporates for free game access than serve the gamer audience.

SBI tried to go after Akira Toriyama right after he died.

Cowards.

[calebeaton]

I think it's telling that Suicide Squad absolutely failed while games like Helldivers 2, that have received criticism for not allowing blatant politics in their games and even ban people who demand it, thrive.

[Markynaz]

Matt, rest assured, gamers are a powerful force beyond anyone's recognition, and we are NOT going to support woke games.

[ShadowbannedLyfe]

As a gamer welcome to the fold. We’ve been dealing with this crap long before you knew something was going on.

[CyanidChild]

Woke games look like crap because they don't care about the art of it, they just care about pushing propaganda and winning Kotaku ass grabs.

[RavenMacGowan]

These games get good reviews, but the people reviewing them are not even gamers. These games actually do very poorly overall because real gamers don't want to see this shit either.

[noahgallo]

This is why I'm happy to see the large gaming companies collapsing lately. Independent and small developers create some of the best games out their, and unlike their big friends, they just want to make a fun game, not a tool for the left.

I am a 44 Year old gamer, been playing since 1984 on the Intellevision console. I play in a Christian Gaming Community discord server where I am one of the younger people there, all of whom are very mature and responsible people. Despite his heavily researched article here, Mr Walsh's comments reflect MASSIVE IGNORANCE in the subject matter. I advise him to keep his mouth shut about it and let the rest of us who know what we're talking about take care of it. As Christians we have had to deal with this woke crap for decades. You are just now starting to comment about it because WE ARE FINALLY MAKING HEADWAY AGAINST IT. It does no good to color gamers or the games industry as stupid. When you do that you're no better than the purple haired developers you're talking about. "Well you're a dumby dumb dumb." There's tons of resistance to the wokeism in the games industry. Look at the G4 fiasco a year or so ago. Where the channel LITERALLY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS because gamers en masse revolted against one woke rant from a "Games journalist" Frankly I think it's just sour grapes that the games industry is making headway where your B-Movie quality films aren't.

[MidwestFarmToys]

How does that lady have a job? She just admitted to illegal hiring practices.

[familyguy]

Avid gamer, always hated what they’ve done with video games by making them extremely woke more and more. Even a game as popular as Spider-man 2 has gone completely woke

[sevenproxies]

Gamers were the vanguard against wokeness Matt. Before any of you tagalongs even realized it existed.

[under_artist]

As a gamer for decades, I never once thought of anything these idiots are saying. You play the game, enjoy it with or without friends, and move on to the next big game. We don't care about you or your politics and feelings.
