    As soon as I hear someone using the word “degenerate”, I know the guy if full of shit.

    They didn’t even call out any actually controversial games. Ultrakill is hardly even “ultraviolent” once you play something like Cyberpunk and do a brute character.

        No, I just find it funny that they chose the absolute softest blow choices of games. They could have chosen way more “woke” games than these.

          Ultrakill is a low-key trans genre favorite, at least on reddit. I don’t think it’s obvious enough for most conservatives to notice but in some online places they are absolutely gaga for that shit. I think that’s why they went with it. There is an actual list of “woke games” floating around and it is full of some very bonkers takes

    Conservapedia for all the Free Thinkers™©® that need to check the conservative repository of what they’re supposed to think…

      There was a post on science sub on reddi (read through redlib) about how conservatives change their stance based on context (hateful among themselves but pretend to be arguing in good faith when they see their shitty views might get challenged) and their argument was “you get dogpilled for shitty opinions on all of reddit but it doesn’t happen on conservative subs and asked people to prove that it happens”

      But because conservative sub delete all the misaligned comments and posts, no one could “prove” it. This was how they proved the left was more aggressive than the right. The mental gymnastics is way over the top.

      tldr; Conservatives think getting dogpiled for shitty opinions is worse than censorship they employ themselves to silence opposition. And since all major social media is built in a way censorship can’t be traced, they have the high ground.

      Reminds me of all those MGTOW (“Men going their own way”) forums/subreddits that were ubiquitous 10-15 years ago. Half of the posts were “Is it manly/unmanly to do [thing]?”… like literally unironically doing the “Fellas, is it gay to…?” meme.

      Nothing says “going your own way” like seeking approval from others, let alone Internet strangers.

    I doubt they have the mod capacity to keep every article free from people memeing on their shitty wiki. So this was probably just written by a troll.

          They’re a deliberate metaphor for pre-Civil War Manifest Destiny America with native genocide and slavery, but yes, in theory their burgeoning liberal republic is a better option than the outright fascists in the Legion and House’s destructive egocentric “libertarianism” that becomes fascism the moment he gathers enough power to do so, beyond the lore deep cuts that let the savvy terminal reader figure out he was one of the people behind the nuclear war in the first place.

      Much like their forays into Grindr, they had to do research to understand the nature of their repressed desires and identity the enemy.
