Culture Wars General - KiA Diet Coke Edition

[ZMOT]

This is what they call having your cake and eating it. They get the free promotion that the slightest whiff of shitposting gives, and they get to issue a nice virtue signalling statement and beg for mercy from the blue checkmarks.

the promotion worked so great I removed it from the wishlist and put it on ignore.
it's literally "hey if we do X we can sell the game to Y more people", completely ignoring that they lose Z amount of people in the process. but hey if it worked for shit like star wars I'm sure some indie swat clone with it's high liberal values predestined to be played by #ACAB woketards will do fine...

The left will censor you via cancel culture. The right will censor you via the government.

last time "the government" tried to censor games it was pushed by democrats. also the last "right" government is decades past, if you want to even call it that, not to mention "nazis=bad, communists=good" spiel that is so ingrained it will take decades (or shit going bad hard) to get rid of.

yes, "in theory" any extreme is bad, but in reality a completely moot point since one side never had any real pull and won't have for the time being - unless you consider parental advisory stickers and age ratings censorship of course.

 

[Judge Dredd]

also the last "right" government is decades past,

The 90s/2000s was decades ago.

Even so, it doesn't matter who was PM or President, as it was still "family values" groups that tried to pressure the government into acting. Unless you want to argue Jack Thompson and the like were lefties.

unless you consider parental advisory stickers and age ratings censorship of course.

Or the lack of them. When rating boards refuse to give the game a rating, and unrated games can't be published on a console, I consider that censorship.

In the US, maybe. In the UK, Labour have completely destroyed themselves.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Well the goverment back then wanted "family values" to be upheld most likely and anything out of norm (rock, video games, DnD) was seen as a sin.
So like the Left of today they are using the "-ist,-phobe" excuse to cudgel devs, media, people to behave. Same shit, diffrent coat of paint and diffrent excuses.

Wasn't is Nazis=Bad, Commies=Bad back before Current Year?

It went well beyond this they had multiple forms of legislation and it covered all forms of entertainment, shit really went down in the early 90's.

You had everything from Movies to TV Shows to games all needing different content guidelines that would be heavily enforced(because decades prior they tried something similar and nobody listened to it or followed it. So what happened at the start of the 90's was intended to be harsh.

I think ted Turner simping to the clintons was still pretty funny because he Okay'd violent shows on his networks just to cancel them to show that he was a Good Boy Who Did Nothing Wrong (this is what killed SWAT KATZ).

 

[Dom Cruise]

last time "the government" tried to censor games it was pushed by democrats.

It's true, people are too quick to forget about Lieberman, we should have seen Sarkeesian coming since people from the left could already be censorious of games, but Thompson created this stereotype that it was only a right wing thing.

The 90s/2000s was decades ago.

And ain't that some shit.

Or the lack of them. When rating boards refuse to give the game a rating, and unrated games can't be published on a console, I consider that censorship.

It makes me want to laugh until I puke when I think back to the 2006 documentary "This Film is Not Yet Rated" where a group of LA lefties decried the censorship of the MPAA, today the left fucking loves censorship.

But as is always the case, left or right, if you don't have free speech that covers what is considered "offensive" then congratulations, you don't have free speech at all, it's something that by it's nature has to be as broad as possible.

your own fault for buying a walled garden, might as well call walmart not stocking certain brands censorship then.

yeah, and what effect did that have? was anyone prevented from doing what he wanted to do? some fundies screeching is hardly comparable to a twittermob outright getting you fired and blacklisted in your profession with governments now pushing wokeshit like CRT. that's why MUH RIGHT IS EQUALLY BAD is kinda dumb when MUH RIGHT never had any tooth to begin with (and most governments never were "right" anyway, especially not in the EU or US).

as for commies bad, remember the long march started in the late 60's. there was still the cold war of course and the evil ruskies were also commies, but that has been quietly forgotten after they imploded in the 90's. meanwhile everyone knows OMG 6 GORILLION LAMPSHADES.

ironically no rating is a rating in itself, depending on the system it just means 18+ (unless there's an outright classification to ban material, but that's hardly used because that literally skirts the censorship line). so all that would mean a big limit where you can show and sell your stuff - one of the reasons everybody wants a T rating.

yeah, in the end it doesn't matter who gives you the boot for what you say, just that there's a boot. they're just and have been for a long while more likely to be worn by antifa and it's ilk than a skinhead.

The diffrence is the left can use the internet better than the right. They can use it to their advantage to brigade, blacklist etc on social media and whatever. Your right about that. However if the right was smarter they wouldve used it to their advantage. They didn't and the left is thriving.
If I was a politician and want to further my own shit I would censor and blacklist those who opose me or make a compeling argument againts me.


Not entierly. Chine and NK still exists. They make the argument of "real marxism not tried yet", ha.

 

[capitalBBustard]

@DumbassRecords @Judge Dredd Are illustrating why the troon is the superior breed. So fearful of the girldick's power, they resort to seething at rightoids from 20 years ago whenever the left is brought up now. They know it's strength, and thus don't even try to resist it.

Inshallah xir.

 

[gigavaxxer]

Yeah, the right censored soooooooooo many people back in the day and they were all good meaning people that got "censored". It's just like today with the left! Cope more, you centrist retard. While you lose everything, while more troon and pedo shit is normalized by the left and put into everything, shove a horseshoe up your ass while you're at it.

EDIT: Cope, seethe, and SNEED. Enjoy having tranny shit and soon to be pedo shit in all your media. That's "just as bad" as not having fags makeout on TV.

Disrespecting girldick should be a bannable offense. kys rightoid scum.

 

[Sneeds_Sniggerly]

Why so angry?

Dredd has a point. Horseshoe theory is is valid.
Right- Uses "Think of the children!"
Left- Uses "Think of the marginalized groups!"

Its clear as day. Don't simp for left/right like a cult memeber.
"The Right back then was not as bad as The Left Right now"
might be true but both are shit.

I really don't get the mindset that laughing at retarded shit means you're "angry". I guess you'd be fine letting your kids come across shit like Cuties or if you got them a video game and you didn't know their was trans kids bullshit in it and all other kinds of degenerate shit. Okay, bro. I suggest checking out the savior of the West, Sargon.

 

[Judge Dredd]

your own fault for buying a walled garden, might as well call walmart not stocking certain brands censorship then.

That was before Steam and high speed internet. So not being on shop shelves meant you were basically invisible. Maybe you could make the argument for shareware, but even those were sold in shops or hosted on mainstream sites back then.

And even then, games like Carmaggedon and Jade Empire were censored and Six Days in Falluja was cancelled despite being PC games.

they resort to seething at rightoids from 20 years ago

Not 20 years ago, but 5 years from now.

And ain't that some shit.

It's like the "Hospital abandoned for 40 years" video where the comments are surprised that it's a hospital from the 80s, not the 60s.

Edit:

what effect did that have?

It's easy to see that, now, today, the right has no real power to censor games these days. Back then, the games industry was united in telling the right to fuck off and there was still censorship.

I have predicted, and will continue to predict, that some time this decade, the social justice left is going to be gone. They'll still exist as a few fringe nuts on Twitter, but they'll be a joke. It will be easy to look back in hindsight and say "What effect did they really have? Some shitty games had commie politics and that one Assassins Creed game had black Egyptians. Complete nothing burger."

The SNES version of Mortal Kombat having no blood is little more than an bit of MK trivia these days. It will likely be the same 10 years from now when they look back at recent games covering up female characters and removing the ok hand sign.

I wasn't asking when you will troon out.

Oh, you can see the future, can you? Amazing! What are the winning lottery number?

This "pendulum" bullshit is so retarded only boomers really buy it. The whole West is going through a Color Revolution and we will all live under a technocracy. Please tell me how things will become "right-wing" when the "right" is just the "left" from 10 years ago at best? The Right pushes faggots and trannies now. The right loves to talk about how they help POC.

Again, you fucking weirdos are stuck living the past, blowing shit out of proportion like when you were dumb kids back then "WAAH! My war game got cancelled! Video games had to tone down violence and nudity! MK didn't have real blood!" Wow, you poor things. This is like some faggot hippie that went to an anti-war protest and was called a "dirty hippie" and tells story of how brave he was to deal with that even thought nothing ever really happened to him. Now, if you put up a "it's okay to be white" flier the fucking FBI will investigate it. You can't even enter the text "white lives matter" in a Call of Duty game. There is no "going back", retard. You are in the middle of a Marxist take over. Grow up, kid. Enjoy the bugs while you watch the next gay superhero show in your pod.

How was Jade Empire censored?

It's like the "Hospital abandoned for 40 years" video where the comments are surprised that it's a hospital from the 80s, not the 60s.

It's gonna be hard as hell to accept the 2000s being 20 years ago, seems like just yesterday 2006 was a decade ago, now it's shockingly close to 20 years ago, what the fuck?

You're probably right, a new decade always bring changes even if it's slow going at the start, who could have predicted what the year 2019 would be like from the vantage point of 2011?

By the end of the 2020s we'd probably be shocked how little relevance Woke will have and how little anyone will care to discuss it.

That's not how things work. I suggest you look into how things are planned out well in advance. If you think I'm wrong, please show me all the great changes that happened in the Soviet Union or post Communist China decade-to-decade. You are all so sheltered it's sad. Most of the time things just get worse. Acting like some magic bullshit will happen is childish.

This ain't the Soviet Union or Communist China just yet.

Everyone thought the post 9/11 era, it's wars and the politics of that era would define the 21st century, but here it is the year 2022 and none of that shit has any real relevance anymore.

Now we're thinking morons sperging out about race are going to define the 21st century, but probably not.

The future is "you'll own nothing and be happy". When people in power talk, learn to listen to them. And good job missing my whole point about the SU and China. Enjoy your life getting worse and worse, and keep lying to yourself that things will change any time now lol

"you'll own nothing and be happy" is a different subject than things like the Woke progressive stack, all the racial tension, I'm just saying I don't see people being as obsessed with the specific obsessions they had in the 2010s.

The point is that it's all connected to lead to a single goal. Funny that I see people saying "things will change" but things never do. I recall people saying that in the US when Trump won and in the UK when Brexit passed. Yeah, I'm sure things are totally about to change THIS TIME! I'm sure any day now we'll have Mussolini 2.0 show up and un-woke the world lol What's the weather like in Copesville this time of year?

You underestimate just how easily bored people get, sure the whole "WE SHALL OVERRRRRRRRRRCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" shit has been exciting and trendy for a while, but eventually the novelty will wear off.

Tell that to dead bodies in Russia killed by the communists. Tell that to the fucking niggers in South Africa killing white farmers, which they have been signing and dancing about doing since the 90s to today. Coping won't save you. Let me spell it out a bit more for you people. Media = Propaganda. What is propaganda used for? It's used to get people to comply with either putting up with something or to do something.

You might be a lazy ass and never do anything with your life, but many people aren't and are very active through their whole life. At this point, modern countries that have not known war in their land have it coming. I suggest you read a book lol
