Conservatives: Blaming games for gun violence and trying to censor anti-American/Christian messages.

Alt-right: Placing tariffs on electronics from China because they're racists thus making console/game prices skyrocket.

Liberals: Trying to censor "offensive" things like character art, fanservice, and cultural references and pushing diversity over historical accuracy.

Progressives: Trying to ban loot boxes and gacha just because a minority of idiots gamble their savings away thus ruining F2P games for the rest of us.

We have no allies folks.

Honestly the only correct point is on conservatives. The rest is just nonsense that you attributed to a political side for no reason

And even the violence argument sometimes crosses political boundaries tbh though it is mainly conservatives

But I'm always seeing progressives on this board take the side of publishers/developers whenever a Kotaku article comes out making fun of whiney gamers.

So Jack Thompson was right all along?

NO, it's just that more fucking morons in high places believe he is. I hope it keeps happening the less public fools making video gaming a public habit the less bullshit scams passing themselves off as video games we'll have.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

it's like the bare minimum posturing for a "respectable" image. like when Nintendo censored blood in Mortal Kombat's even though you could still literally rip spines and hearts out.

I owned MK on SNES and Genesis.

Nintendo edited out the spine and heart ripping along with the blood. All the gory fatalities were replaced by boring ones. Like for example Liu Kang rather than turning into a dragon and eating you, did a helicopter kick and an uppercut. It was lame af.

I think it's more of a generational thing than a political thing tbh. Since 50-60 year-olds didn't grow up with them, they don't really enjoy or understand them which is why they make an easy scapegoat. When our generation is in charge, I think we'll see much less attack on video games.

I had them both too, but I forgot SNES didn't have the spine rip. he froze and broke them. SNES did have the heart rip though, just no blood and it didn't keep pumping. they make it hard to see what he's holding, but we knew better lol

Kang didn't turn into a dragon until MKII though. I remember being so excited to finally play as Reptile haha.

How exactly do loot boxes work? If they don't offer a competitive advantage over players who don't purchase them, I don't see the harm.

If they do offer advantage, that's not fair.

the same people delighting in punching that feminist probably also complained that you can torch the kkk in that same game


No actually that youtuber had a bunch of videos killing the kkk as well sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative.

The issue is more about hooking players to constantly buy them in order to get the drop they want.
