    There were more articles covering game character sexuality than the mass lay offs of the last two years that left entire families without sustenance.

    No, there absolutely weren’t.

    Schreier’s politics come out in his writing as well as social media. The drum he’s been beating for a long time has been about labor and unionizing.

      I’d even consider the possibility he’s right, but not for reasons that support his argument.

      Games and media present transgender and minority groups in an unobtrusive way, and bigots create 17 articles complaining about their basic inclusion for the sake of “DEI”.

      Both GPT4 and Gemini estimate a 3:2 ratio between articles addressing video game character sexuality and those addressing lay offs and unionization in the games industry.

      I won’t continue this discussion because “Schreier’s politics come out in his writing as well as social media. The drum he’s been beating for a long time has been about labor and unionizing.” is basically what I wrote on Schreier using more words, which indicates you’re more interested in being a confrontational than engaging in an honest discussion on the topic. Enjoy the Cheeto for 4y.

        If you want to talk about an honest discussion, consider the sample set you plugged into your search. You didn’t go through two years of articles on VGC or GameSpot. You plugged indiscriminate search criteria into an AI. We just had a discussion a few days ago about how mainstream media is not covering major gaming news, but if you’re reading gaming news outlets, it’s been layoffs for the past two years dominating the news. Gaming news outlets would have very little reason to ever use the word “hunger”, for instance, and “transgender” would apply to far more articles than those about fictional characters.

          Ai, google trends in english, what else does one need? Even after I gave precise google trends inputs so that the observations are reproducible? Your reply proves my point yet again. Peace.

            Your precise Google Trends inputs are precisely what I took issue with, because they’re a bad sample set for reasons that I pointed out.

        I think you misspelled “I don’t know what I’m talking about nor what an LLM is”

            I see you have a 10 days old account. I can’t imagine why you had to create a new one… This one won’t last long, ironically you can go to r/gamergate and feel accepted.

              Yes yes, whatever illusion you created in your head to make me some kind of monstrous being because I dared question the ubiquitous distortion of the class message in favour of bourgeoisie invented flags. I’m also the boogey man on my free time. It’s funny, all the replies I got fit just in line with the ones I’d get in r/conservative every time I shared climate change evidence.

                Plot twist: you’re the one yearning for reedit!

                But of course you’re DARED question the distortion of the class message… By complaining about diversity in video games…?

                The funny thing is how everything you said so far would fit in a conservative forum, reddit or otherwise. It seems that’s where you have you go to find people agreeing with you. Should make you think (but it won’t)

                  And here we are again, more ad hominem, 0 actual arguments. :) keep going

                  Us vs them, anything to avoid actually thinking.

                    You must be salty, coming back two days after. Did you practice the perfect answer in the mirror?

                    At least now it’s not ChatGPT! Anyway, I’m sure Bernie is not going to be bitching about too many blacks and gays in videogames (he’s not an incel after all), so I’ll assume this is yet another non argument.
