Unpopular Opinion

There’s this aura among certain people, usually the neurodivergent, where they believe that whatever is valued in their microcosm is what should be valued everywhere else. They think that any controversy is automatically solved in their favor. They get visibly upset whenever anything is successful that doesn’t align with their agenda. To them, it’s not about balance. It’s not about diversity or variety. It’s about attacking anyone who disagrees with them until… well, they don’t stop. It’s incessant. They will brow-beat and tantrum-throw until they get what they want.

These people need to be put back in line. They don’t actually care about the art they corrupt; most of them don’t even play the games they criticize. Instead, it’s about pushing their agenda and making sure anyone who goes against it is silenced (censored.)

It’s up to us, the regular people, to see things for what they are. They will try to drag us down rabbit holes. Their entire goal in life is to make people losers like them so they don’t feel so bad about being failures. You know, misery loves company and all that.

It’s sad this is what happened to the digital sphere. It’s shown me that the slippery slope isn’t a fallacy when applied to people with an agenda. They never wanted “equality.” They always wanted superiority. “Equality” was just a guise they hid under to gain legitimacy, and now that they have it they aren’t stopping.

Glad I didn’t waste my money on this hamstrung garbage. I’m glad old games still hold up to this day and are better than most of the trite put out by modern “developers.” Really puts into perspective who the good artists are, and who just wants to corrupt other people’s art for their own gain.

It’s fine to have gay representation. Even trans representation is acceptable. The problem is that these people want it to be “preferable” to play the game as a gay or transperson. It’s why they praise queer characters but shun any attractive females. They want sex only to sell to “their” people and no one else. It’s an agenda, but thankfully it hasn’t been too successful in changing the landscape.

While it’s unfortunate we get these bad games instead of good ones, I’m glad they’re being panned accordingly for the drivel that they are.

Dragon Age: Origins is still one of my favorite game of all time. Really wish we could’ve had a whole series of them, but oh well. At least we got shit.

Edit: The responses to this were to be expected, and of course do not change my views at all. Instead, I think it’s very telling of human psychology. Just as with marijuana users who are fine with banning tobacco and other drugs because it’s not the drugs “they” use, we see people who have historically been marginalized and belittled fine with marginalizing and belittling others. It really is bigger than the topic at hand. This is an aspect of most people’s personas that they have no shame in and make no attempts to overcome.

it’s sad. Most people really are shit and enjoy hating others for liking different things.
