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.

Wtf is happening? Is this echoes of gamegate a decade later?
