Activists, like everything else, have good and bad versions of them. Without activists, our lives would potentially not be better than they used to be. But of course again, there are extremes that we should not be listening to.
Any so called "activist" who wants the video games industry destroyed for any reason should not be taken seriously by anyone.
That game has been legal in NZ for about two years and the whole issue of it started back in the early 2000s, around the time all the "video games make people violent" rhetoric was going around.
I doubt activists were pushing for people to be jailed for playing it, that's just what NZ decides at the time.
If anything, that's an example of how much better things are nowadays, where a game that was previously banned is now unbanned and playable.
Blocked for baiting.
Thank you for sharing your concern. It’s important that people look out for each other, and I appreciate your care for the gaming community.
While it’s understandable to feel worried, it’s also reassuring that communities and voices can come together to protect and support each other.
activism is society, dummy.
I´ll add them to the list. At this point even I want to get caught, just to stop worrying about when would they come.
Might this be about the dating, marriage and childless crisis? This one is already for 2 decades and 2 decades further it is said ''we are not reaching the childbirth ratio of 2'' too late anyway. Edit: Teenage group in 2025 is seriously low.
Don't just run with a video title.
The problem is that if everything you consume it´s through the lens of fake news to trigger rightoids, then it doesn´t matter if you point out there´s evidence of those "influencers" being liars, because this people will claim it´s "the mass media that lies" and if there´s wikipedia facts disproving this youtubers, again, "wikipedia is woke, can´t be trusted".
That´s the beuty and danger of the current conspiracy alt-right movement, it really doesn´t matter what facts, truth or data you can provide, in their mind, it´s all compromised except for the things that give them the exact same conspiracies they are looking for and then some more.
So yeah, payment companies asking Steam to remove NSFW games with questionable content turns into "THE LEFTISH ACTIVIST ARE TRYING TO KILL GAMERS, I JUST SAW ONE BLUE HAIRED LESBIAN RUNNING AROUND THE STREET WITH A MACHETE SCREAMING WHERE ARE THE FASCIST AROUND!!!" We can´t really do nothing about it, cause the people holding this ideas are so deep into the scam that there´s no turning back, they will never be normal humans again, their existance is dominated now by a constant desire to get angry, defensive, and claim on one side the left is dead and non-sensical, BUT at the same time they are a huge force that will cancel and kill anyone that disagrees.
It´s just a bunch of weak people showing how weak they trully are, but none of them are capable of understanding it anymore. Again, they are just too consumed by the scam at this point. Not a single one of them is able to just buy and play a game, first cause they are all children with no money, and secondly because they are scare of playing a game, liking it, and then their favorite youtuber claiming it´s "woke". So it´s better to not play anything and spedn your afternoon spaming in steam forums about "activist want to kill me for playing the nintendo" (just think about it for a second, like for reals, this thread, just stop and analyze OP message and his phrase construction... and yes, it´s scary to think maybe they are not 13, that´s a fully grown adult crying over "activist" trying to jail them??? This person grandfathers probably went to an actual war, only for his blood to end up like this...)
One is the famous 'owning the libs' anything that may trigger a 'leftie' is a go for them. Even when it can be clearly counter productive for them. It's kind of a 'misery loves company' way of thinking.
The second one is their discourse is based on what has been called 'bullshitting'. Unlike lying their truth is fluid and changes as the events unfold.
There's a post on Reddit ('Yeah Reddit, bear with me for a moment) which througly explains what the term means in regards discourse.

I have to admit I find incredubly amusing seeing lots of 'right leaning' gamers blame the actual censorship situation on 'the woke feminists' when the group that spawned this is actually way closer to their own political leaning than to 'the left'. But as per the second point their reality is whatever fits their narrative at that precise moment, so it's all blamed on 'feminism'.
