    People are mad about the weirdest thing.

    When I was fully a gamer™, I used to get mad when people said that video games would make people to murderers. Now a bunch of the people, who probably used to get mad with me, are afraid that somehow video games makes you gay. Like dude, you know it is bs. You said it is bs.

    “But it is about how the narrative suffers from the woke shit” yup totally true which is why the political right hated the harry Potter game for jk rolling’s wokeness with Dumbledore’s homosexuality and her rewriting of history by lying about what her notes would mean. Because they “hate” when authors don’t respect the story but go for clout. (For those, who don’t know, once jk said in an interview that a David star meant that the character is a wizard, later she claimed the same David star meant the character was a Jew) oh wait, they didn’t boycott the game but hyped it up? Surely not because jk is a terf. No way.

      Reality is a team sport, to some people. They don’t mean things when they say words. They’re just shuffling cards. So yes, some of the people insisting their hobby is blameless are just conservatives who identify with it, the same way most of the people blaming that hobby for murder are just conservatives whose ingroup doesn’t like them. You will never get logical consistency out of conservatives. Any appearance is coincidental and temporary.

        Tbh I wouldn’t say only conservatives are like that…

        But yeah. It is just so tiring to see a group of people that you once identified with, give up on logic to hate on a group of people who did absolutely nothing to them.

        Well that is not true, they played video games with them, shared memes with them, and share many happy moments with them. But let’s hate them e.g. trans people because… We want to be straight? Mhm yeah… Ok…

        Imagine giving up a good time, just to hate…

          I am describing conservatism as a concept. The label is defined by this tribalism. Identity is all they have. It was never about logic.
