When people say "all platforms are political", they're saying that almost everything someone does in public is to some degree political. WoW itself is political, with different factions in two different alliances negotiating, dealing with complex trauma from their past, and handling how to move forward in the world of Azeroth with all of the threats we see at times. If someone makes a comedy video making jokes about asian immigrants for example, it's a comedy show - the guy is joking - but the guy is also pushing a political message to some degree. If 80% of your videos are complaining about how wokeism is ruining gaming, then you're not just making a gaming video - you're making commentary about the political nature of diversity or censoring racism/sexism and such. You can say this without saying "everyone I don't like on the internet needs to be silenced" lol.

[@NameIsDoc]

Pirate lost most of his based audience when he defended dei. Now he is being eaten by the woke he tried to cater too.

[@zmortis111]

There is nothing implicitly wrong with diversity. The problem is with "equity", and "inclusion" that are neither equitable nor inclusive. Which then leads to targeted exclusion in the name of "diversity". In other words, DEI is in reality none of the things it professes to be. The main reason many game studios are failing massively right now is they have actively chosen to reject the majority of their former customer base because they thought that pandering would bring in a wider audience while excluding the input of their former audience. The theory and reality are coming into view as misaligned, and many of them are suffering the real financial impacts from it.

[@NameIsDoc]

@zmortis111 The thing is, dei doesn't really stand for anything they claim it to be. It is an excuse to put their talentless cult members into power. They don't care about anything they preach beyond how they can use it for their advantage. What they preach on the surface level is fine to a degree, but in practice, it is nothing more then a powergrab.

[@ZarathosDaimaoh]

Except for the fact that StopKillingGames was first presented in such a disingenuous manner ("easy win" in politics? While also being vague and full of obvious loopholes that haven't been 'ironed out'? Those statements taken together make it sound like they *want* the loopholes, and I don't think they do. They just don't know what they're doing, and intentions don't define the results of actions) that one has to be suspicious of ulterior motives. Or the fact that corporations do illegal things all the time and get away with it, so giving them a legal loophole will only make things worse and encourage that sort of behavior in the younger and upcoming generation who see it as the only way to actually succeed and not be trampled underfoot. Because if you don't have the details ironed out, with all the nonsense and politi-speech that may entail, all it will do is create at least one unintentional loophole that people who actually can read the politi-speech will find it and exploit it. Like the example of the company-linked "charities" that serve as tax write-offs while only ending up further supporting the company's bottom line.

[@zmortis111]

If given a choice of keeping your job, or losing your job, livelihood, home, and community, many people will shut up and be quiet. If you are self-employed like Asmongold, your options broaden, and now he is only restricted by the choice of platform his content is provided by. It's one of the reasons Piratesoftware doesn't get into politics for the most part, and avoids addressing the livewire of the woke destruction of the gaming industry. He's a game developer too. His sales are directly related to not pissing off his customers, so he's more likely to be middle of the road and as inoffensive as possible to avoid controversy. It's smart business, and more game developers should probably take this approach over baiting their customers into leaving them. Is he going to lose the left and right fringe by not catering to them? Sure, but he's decided his market isn't served by catering to either fringe.

[@rainbowsnek]

yup i see it in country-wide votes all the time, they are required but anonymous so people arent afraid to vote what they actually want and there always seems to be a trend of.. well majority of "right-wing" beliefs (to put in more generic terms. its different to american politics) but you put people on the spot then they say what they think everyone wants them to say, because they dont want to get attacked by the crowd thats manifested around them at the question. i like to poke at peoples beliefs but even i still would rather avoid drawing the eyes of the real psycho extremists who pay the most attention to this stuff, and react the hardest.
