The controversies seem to be the main thing people talk about with this game, even if they are played for laughs

Also, what’s the Will Smith thing referenced here

Yeah that’s why I don’t really know what to feel, because I totally get this interpretation but I can also see it being more of a “this industry is absolutely terrible and always has been”, but it’s ambiguous which is why I would have liked a clarifying statement in there.

I doubt that’s the meaning of the video considering he’s played most of those games and reviewed them normally despite the controversies.

I’m mostly going off the fact that the controversy surrounding The Last of Us 2 was for having a muscular woman, which suggests it’s less “video game industry bad” and more “controversy dumb”. I could be wrong, but dunkey seems to have South Park style “apolitical” centrist opinions so I’m not super surprised his take would be “actually everyone involved is stupid”. The distinction mostly doesn’t matter, because it’s clear that either way he’s neither supporting nor condemning trans people. And tbh I’d expect nothing more from a lucky dumb cishet white guy who plays video games for a living.

To be fair, he went pretty far into support of the last of us 2. Dunkey usually is usually pretty inclusive and pro labor, so IDK how this is going. Have to see if he says anything else.
