Sure, I’m sick of culture wars too, but the right is using culture wars to get people to vote for them so they can enact all their regressive policies on the “stuff that matters”.
Also we should laugh at people who really act like this about games because they fucking deserve it.
No one changes their behaviour by getting shamed about it. It only encourages them further. This is why you have Trump again in the US and why Reform UK is gaining popularity. Please take a moment to reflect and consider how we can build bridges. If things don’t get better, we’ll argue ourselves into the bottom of the most bottomless poverty as our bills soar and salaries freeze.
I won’t build bridges with people who genuinely want to strip women and minorities of their basic human rights. That’s beyond culture wars and is moving into dehumanization. For the people in those communities those are “things that matter”. They can’t worry about frozen salaries or bills if they aren’t allowed to get proper healthcare or even exist. Maybe I’m part of the problem but I think you need to draw a line in the sand on certain issues.
I will build bridges with people who wake up and realize that it’s not Left vs Right but Ultra Rich vs Everyone else. Problem is a lot of people just refuse to see it that way because of so many reasons.
In the end this is a shitpost community and my post isn’t meant to do anything more than get a quick chuckle from a satire article.
But this is gamingcirclejerk. This is THE outlet for this type of thing. I’ve clicked on “Don’t recommend channel” on Youtube countless times and the videos still pop up, just because I’m interested in the occasional gaming news. The bitter Youtube comments are everywhere. This is one of the few places that allows you to vent from the “anti-woke”.
Gamers this, gamers that - just tired of culture wars. Let’s focus on things that matter instead.

“You’re all fucking terrible people! Oh yeah, vote for meeeeee!”

Oh look, something a minority of gamers actually do – let’s attribute it to a wide swath of people.
…It’s just prejudice in a different suit.
People here doing the same tribalistic bullshit that they complain about others doing to them; with not a HINT of self-reflection.
You said it! Nobody wins.
