Didn’t their husbando Clarence Thomas go on a crusade against sexy and violent video games in the 90s, and republicans in general (the party they are a part of) use them as a scapegoat for what is wrong with America today?

Didn’t you guys win already? You have been in a 8 year long victory dance over this. You won, bad bad Anita Sarkeesian was cancelled for Wrongthink and was never heard from again. You’re literally fighting a culture war you already won.

when Schwarzenegger tried to restrict the sale of mature video games in CA, Scalia joined with the majority finding it violated the first amendment. Roberts and Thomas were the only dissenting justices.

When Fascism no longer has an enemy, its gears start to seize up and shatter. A decisive victory is the absolute worst thing which can happen to a fascist, because then they have to actually do something besides hate and kill and hate again.

The only one I recognize is Anita Sarkeesian, who made a series of feminism 101 critiques of video games and the gamers lost their freaking minds.

YOU HAVE DAMAGED THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY :wojak-nooo: :soypoint-1:

Reminder that entertainment doesn’t even serve any physiological function and is thus the ultimate form of treat

Treats by themselves aren’t bad. Treats at the expense of human lives and suffering are bad.

We’ve dialecticed our way beyond treats. We’re treatless and free.

Entertainment is essential to humanity, emotional regulation needs some sort of outlet or source of happiness which is steady and not short in supply.

Yeah, everyone should live garbo joyless lives. That’s what Marx was saying. Burn your books, toss your chocolate in the ocean, and drink naught but water, ear naught but bread all the days of your life, ye blessed workers.

If the people didn’t need treats, then treats wouldn’t have been invented. The fact treats exist suggested that they fulfill a societal function. Treats predate class society and will most likely postdate class society as well.

yes but the point is the magnitude of their offense about tiny details in one specific completely unnecessary thing being changed

they’re not alienated at all (anymore than everyone else at least), they’re just aggressive subhumans
