>so the best way to prevent this is to just make your game or whatever it is you're doing blatantly anti-globohomo from the start so they have no foothold to get in

Then they will use that as an excuse to get you cancelled.

@PurpCat @koimoa @beardalaxy But the PS2 still got games.

@PurpCat @koimoa @beardalaxy If that were the case then nobody would have developed games for the PS2 or PS3.

@beardalaxy @koimoa @PurpCat I think there is also another factor that is contributing to the failure of the ninth generation of consoles and developers still making PS4 ports: The Nintendo Switch is insanely popular with both gamers and third-party developers. Given that many games are being developed for it and it being weaker than the PS4, there are many devs who just go "fuck it, let's make a PS4 port" and given that the PS5 is backward-compatible with the PS4, it's also an excuse not to port to the PS5.

It's kind of like how the original Wii prompted third-party developers to also make PS2 ports.

@smugumin To be fair, Elon is not a libertarian. He supports UBI.

I do agree that both these guys are controlled opposition though. That handshake looks masonic.

@WTFPurpleAlpaca You forgot men who want to get laid by lesbians.

@PurpCat
Admittedly, I don't pay attention to many of these niche communities so yeah the whole phenomenon is probably older than I thought. GDQ made it obvious because it seemed like every major speedrunner transitioned after Cosmo and the drama going on there was making it into drama channels and mainstream gaming press.

Though the final nail in the coffin wasn't GDQ, but that infamous hbomberguy stream because after Grant Kirkhope said "trans rights" in his DK voice, it inspired a bunch of other video game VAs to do the same as well as fan artists making "trans rights" art for every video game character in existence.

>To someone who is attention seeking, negative attention is also good attention

It's really no different than celebrities coming out as gay or bisexual when they were losing relevance years ago. Though, at least with that you can admit to it just being a phase and reverse, unlike transitioning where results can be permanent.

@PurpCat @koimoa Lately, I've been having a gripe with game collecting in general (not just the scalpers) because they will literally buy everything in their favorite video game franchise, thus supporting all of the bad practices. They just have to buy every game in their favorite series even if they know it's shit.

@PurpCat I feel like the speedrunning community was the one that really brought transgenderism to the entire gaming community thus causing gamedevs to pander to them.

Literally, I learned most of the transgender terminology from GDQ.

@john_rando @j @McMongoose @djsumdog This is why you need a water filter jug.

Which is the most cancerous group in the gaming community/industry?

Created a sand tileset. That appears in-between the snow tileset and purple tileset.

You'd expect that most FOSS drama would be about projects getting bought out by not-so-good companies, the PM adding malicious features and not backing down on it, or choosing to use a bad dependency, but no. It's always about pronouns, "casual ableist language", or the project accepting crypto donations.
