Gamer’s traditionally have less political sophistication than a dead dog. Recent highly visible gamer moves have included review bombing Helldivers, screaming about not being able to see both labia t the same time in Stellar Blade, and whatever that Sweet Baby/DEI thing I haven’t bothered to look at is. Idk what the scale of this roblox bs is, but i am interested in the phenomena of game rage campaigns where they get extremely self righteously mad over strange, often trivial shit and make it their entire life for a few days. Wtf is happening? Is this echoes of gamegate a decade later?

    Smells like a mixture of stupidity and capitalist grooming to me.

    Roblox is all kinds of fucked up child labour bullshit. I really worry about gen alpha. They are being conditioned to accept the most dystopian shit.

    I wonder how much of this type of thing is astroterfed by feds?
