Geeks like me have a right to be pissed at the current state of media in general, especially given that this new diverse and inclusive generation of geeks is getting an objectively inferior experience compared to say, '07. Writing these days is either generic/straight out of a fanfic, studios chase trends that give diminishing returns (coughs in graphics), lack of content, total malice towards fans by out of touch writers, etc etc.

So why are they dangerous than corporate shills? That's because they divide. These grifters will pin the blame on women and minorities on media's decline even though there are much more valid reasons like the ones I outlined in the opening paragraph. This becomes especially dangerous when discussing how and why media is in such a terrible state right now because the grifters actually protect bad companies like Disney, 343, Bethesda, etc by bullying the good parts of the community into silence over minorities existing and basically dominate this desperately needed discussion of "why does media suck now" which now becomes a messy three-way fight between the good, the bad, and the shills over the dumbest reasons possible.

I am strongly against consoomers, corporate shills, and other meatriders defending shitty companies but I do recognize that bigots are more dangerous; especially since any legitimate criticism of their lord and saviour EnshittyMedia Inc can be deflected just because some racist manchild cried about minorities for 100th time.

The only "solution" I can offer is for people who are explicitly against anti-woke grifters to explain what makes media good, provide an explanation as to why media is so terrible now, and push back against the grifters like what Kavernacle does.
