    I know a guy who voted for trump exclusively to end DEI and wokeness in video games. He claimed his immersion was ruined by a character being trans. In a game with sorcery and dragons and monsters, he couldn’t handle a digital person not being happy with their assigned gender. As if there wouldn’t be people studying magic to change their gender, if magic were real.

      I have a friend who used to call me up about that. Every time, I asked why the game was bad, and we broke it down together

      My friend doesn’t realize they’re a leftist yet, but they’ve started to make the connections before I can weigh in

        I laughed in his face, but he started laughing too, so I think he thought I agreed with him. He’s off with the navy now, so I doubt I’ll ever see him again.

    But bigot snowflakes throwing tantrums about basic decency in media is how I get to know most of the good stuff, please don’t take that away from me (actually, please do).
