@matrix Extra Credits has always held this kind of insufferable attitude of "developers should be more responsible with the message they're putting out". I used to not mind this because while I disagreed with it, they still argued their position well and always erred on the side of creative liberty and still put out good apolitical content.

All this changed when they got the new host. A lot of the content is now overtly political and is now outright arguing that developers shouldn't present certain perspectives or explore certain themes because "it's offensive" or "it's wrong to make someone play the bad guy".

They've become the "video games bad" argument they used to rally against in the past, but instead of "driving people to violence", it's "driving people to nazism". They're literally making some of the exact same dumbass arguments about "normalization" that we've been refuting for DECADES at this point. I'm glad they got ratio'd to hell and back for that video.
