    I’m not sure how to have a conversation about this if weirdness has a secret definition. What is normal but the weird stuff you’re used to in life?

      I don’t have a comprehensive definition of “weird”. But having “concerts” and election propaganda in a multiplayer shooter isn’t weird to you?

        I heard there have been concerts in Minecraft that were popular. Anything beats doing it in Zuckerberg’s whatever thing, imo. Virtual concerts seem lame certainly, but some enjoy it.

        As for election propaganda, video games are big media. Bigger than Hollywood. Whatever my preferences, it would be absurd to expect it to be some kind of ideological dead zone.

        Like I said I feel pretty disinterested, but more on grounds of taste than any firm feelings of social norms.
