Maybe not here in the fediverse, but there are dozens of youtube channels that are all about whining about "the woke" ruining the gaming industry, "explaining" how every spectacular failure we've seen in the last few years (Starfield, Concord) are because of DEI wokeness, etc.
Yeah, I guess as long as there are people that want to hear it, there will be people willing to parrot it.
Yeah and they're all fucking losers, it really feels like the vast majority of people don't care about whatever these online people say 'woke' is. It's the same as complaining about "political correctness gone mad", affirmative action, etc, the same complaints they've had about social progress for decades. Nothing about these youtubers is new or worth dignifying with a response.
Searching for Dustborn on YouTube is the best way to get introduced to those channels.
Just open YouTube in incognito mode and search a game title probably works. YouTube's algorithm loves serving up manosphere style content like that like my dog loves eating my other dog's poop. It's disturbing on both fronts
Very true. I have its history tracking disabled, but it still suggests those videos or creators even when I'm watching something that has no relation to outrage, like a movie trailer or a GDC talk like one on Unreal Engine.
