If you’re snooping here, you gotta calm yoself down.

Direct message

Maybe Guerilla can pull a Naughty Dog and convince Sony this isn’t the right direction for their studio.

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

Now to figure out if I can block this.

Or a Wrestling Faction from the late 90’s

Got to be honest, this is the first I’ve even heard of this game.

I didn’t know I accused boomers, or older people specifically, of anything. Did I do that? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

If you didn’t know this, you haven’t been paying attention. Right wing voices have gone hard at the young male demographic for years now. They’ve targeted kids in online games and social media, and groomed them for years all with the goal of shaping their world view and by extension, their politics. Lonely young guys looking at people who present themselves as successful, rich, and rolling in women, not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves, telling young boys that they just need to be more sexist and racist and that’ll get them laid and make them feel fulfilled. Telling them that the world is wrong and they’re not. It’s been extremely successful, and all wide out in the open. That’s why voices like Andrew Tate made it into the public zeitgeist.

Frankly, it’s an absolute failing on all of the left for being completely unable or unwilling to see this or show an alternative world view. Too often, when I hear people talk about young white men’s issues, I get crocodile tears from everyone who can’t separate them from actual right wing provocateurs.

The unflattering angle and double chin really hit home.
