In case you’re wondering what the subnormal Gamerz are up to, here is a Steam list that rates the “Woke” content of games. It is (unintentionally) hilarious.

People think the coming civil war will be red states versus blue states but it's actually going to be Gamer militias versus the Swifty Liberation Army

The day the New California Republic begins enlisting for the 101st Trans Drone Warfare Squadron I'm gonna be first in line.

hey man don't count out liberal-left gamers taking the side of the swifty liberation army, i for one am going to rally under this flag

I love how everyone’s dutifully capitalizing Gamer. Can’t wait to see how the word evolves over the next few centuries!

differance.bsky.social•47 days ago

if only! the Gamers would stand no chance.

Sheriffs will run the death squads

adrienneleigh.bsky.social•48 days ago

The Swifties and the k-pop stans both, tbh.

"Helldivers has subtly pro-LGBTQ messaging"

Well duh, it's about the military

brettfujioka.bsky.social•48 days ago

Well, at least they got their review of Metal Gear Rising right: ““Contains overtly anti-western society messaging. Features a story that criticizes Neoconservatism, Jingoism, the War on Terror, American consumerism, and American politics among other things. ”

Sounds good, will check it out.

Did you see where Gamers are upset that the new Assassins Creed is launching on March 20th in the states and saying they are made cause that's the anniversary of the Aum gas attack on the Tokyo subway even though it'll be March 21st when the game launches in Japan? It's great.

Not All Gamers

foghorn453.bsky.social•48 days ago

I think ‘people who play games’ and ‘Gamers’ are two completely different categories

proptermalone.bsky.social•48 days ago

I think you have to construct the Gamer category very carefully to keep me out of it

hillelwayne.com•48 days ago

Also you need separate categories for "gamer" and "gamer" in the same way you need separate categories for "person who watches a lot of movies" and "cinephile"

I know an embarrassing amount about the history of video games

braak.bsky.social•48 days ago

okay well how do you feel about phrenology

chathamharrison.bsky.social•48 days ago

The Gamers™ are working on it

essin.bsky.social•48 days ago

Backwards hat indoors and elaborate chair = gamer

dallaninvictus.bsky.social•48 days ago

proptermalone.bsky.social•48 days ago

whoopsexcuseme.bsky.social•48 days ago

biffs the very end* god my typos have been bad lately. ah well, whatever.

jrosenblatt.bsky.social•48 days ago

Apparently Dragon Age: The Veilguard has... vitiligo sliders. I don't know why they're focusing on that, other than not knowing that lighter-skinned people can have it too???

usili.bsky.social•48 days ago

I think probably the funniest bit is how they consider Project Wingman+AC7 as not woke and recommend it... along with Frostpunk, the entire Half Life franchise, and the Doom games...

cadencecivet.bsky.social•48 days ago

Project Wingman isn’t woke? Damn, now that’s a sign someone’s never played the game

tznkai.bsky.social•48 days ago

Shouldn't they be made about female fighter pilots?

cadencecivet.bsky.social•48 days ago

Crimson 1 is woke, it’s all over

tznkai.bsky.social•48 days ago

Wait is tomboy WSO woke or not

filbi.bsky.social•48 days ago

Tomboy is a fetish now so it's not woke as long as she has big tits

usili.bsky.social•48 days ago

Also one other funny thing was they somehow considered the whole bunch of Yugioh games as not woke.

Somehow, the Yugioh 5Ds game which is y'know, very cyberpunk, cult, etc, as not woke was... really fucking funny.

zdungbit.bsky.social•48 days ago

It is funny how they begrudgingly accept Half-Life 2 since hating on it is too unpopular for even their audience to stomach, even though on paper it would tick a load of their usual gamer rage checkboxes.
