@SuperAlly.

Chill out with the post spamming. 11 consecutive posts (as on the previous page) technically violates a longstanding obscure rule on the forum intended to prevent this sort of thing, where one poster turns a group discussion into a personal blog, by prohibiting 4 posts in a row.

We've never hounded that, but sometimes, it becomes necessary, and you're leaning into that space.

I like how you think activists in movies, tv and games haven’t massively compromised the success of formerly enormously popular franchises.

Nowhere near as much as just general incompetence and mismanagement from greedy people. Also not sure what other media has to do in a thread about gaming.

You have misrepresented that article. Saying everyone is leaving because of a failure to punish toxic arguments

I in fact did no such thing and used qualifiers, not once, but twice actually. Because I use nuance, unlike your rotted brain.

You mean how one of Ubisoft's main challenges has been retaining developers in part because they refused to fire/punish toxic employees?

Wow.... this guy is totally different from how I remember him. He seems unwell lately. I recall him apologizing for his genocidal remarks and how his family thought he was becoming an asshole. What happened to that? I guess he decided to double down instead. One thing I've noticed is that once people turn to this grift they genuinely seem to suffer from it. Melonie Mac in older clips appears so much more bubbly and happy. I think a large part of this is due to the toxic audience they've built and the media sphere they are in. Who you spend time with really can affect you. It's why I cut off those types and hang with positive people. There's absolutely no reason to get this mad over game devs including black people or gays in video games. He could simply play something else that he enjoys. Gamers need to quit thinking that every single game under the sun has to be tailor made for them. Hope he gets his life together, I was once a fan of his when he was more nuanced.

Translation: He's not woke, so he's bad.

They know the grift. They get people like @GearSolidMetal and @HereticBD to give them clicks and say worse and worse shit because they feed into their racist, bigoted feelings.

Apparently.

So much projection with you people.

I didn't think Asmon was racist and I'm still unsure but he did have a really horrible moment when he said he'll never vote to help anyone else other than people that are exactly like him. I just thought that was such a disgusting opinion to have. To me a vote also goes towards those that are most vulnerable (cancer patients, LGBT, the disabled, children, etc) because when everyone is lifted up it's better for the entire country. I feel like the old Asmongold would have had a similar take but maybe I'm just totally wrong about the guy, maybe this is who he's always been and the current political climate gives him the confidence to show reveal his true self.

As a former viewer of his. Asmongold intentionally avoids discussing those topics today. For instance Asmongold wants Twitch to turn into a porn website so he can use it as a dating app and the CEO of OTK is a woman. Socially hes also firmly against eliminating government controlled support structures for the underprivileged and because of that he pays his taxes in full. He's also firmly against theocratic rule.

This is why longtime viewers of him call what he does today a grift. Its cherry picked topics he's asked to react on provided by his current day audience capture.
