I actually agree with you. The Wokists went too far with the Witcher TV Series in particularfor one. I loved the Novels, which I bought and I loved the Games, which I also bought. I am still playing the Wild Hunt. The TV Series though just got worse and worse until it became unwatchable. Henry Cavil who was perfect as Geralt in the first season should have been the next Bond in my view. The Casting directors for the next Bond Movie have got it badly wrong in my view. I digress. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"
I prefer the Producers of Movies, TV Series, Comics, Games etc sticking to the source material and not changing it to force messages and other agendas dwnh our throats.
(fuck, kind of doped up and hit enter before I actually posted something... if my body doesn't fall apart and kill me, these drugs certainly will...)
I expect we'll be seeing some changes happening, it won't happen overnight, but with ESG money and lending drying up and the repeated losses and beatings that they've been taking, I think we are going to see the true colors of the companies getting easy money by pretending to be 'diverse' at the barest of minimum to get that money to return to their usual ways...
...we are seeing massive layoffs and who do you think that they are getting rid of the most... the ones that latched onto things, pounded their chests, rattled sabers and screamed at the sky... no, really, they fucking stood in a park and screamed at the sky...
...and we are seeing a divide unlike any other in the game industry... it is sad really.
I get not being accepted, sure... I may be a straight, white man, but believe me, I grew up as an outcast, unliked, unaccepted, hated just for breathing air... all I had was my notebook and the worlds I created in my head to escape, it was a place where I could be anyone, do anything and, most of all, escape from the hatred cast my way for being and looking different... but things would've only been worse for me, if I screamed in their face, yelled to try and get them to like and accept me...
Which is what we see happening and it isn't working... NEWS FLASH: Yelling at people, calling them names, trying to trample over them isn't the way to do things, no matter what you do, THOSE PEOPLE WON'T LIKE YOU! You are WASTING YOUR TIME...
What worked for me was, this: Accept yourself, I mean truly accept yourself, you don't need everyone's affirmation to be WHO YOU ARE... they don't like you, who gives a shit, who the FUCK are THEY that you should need their approval? Be yourself, live your life, fuck them if they can't handle it... you don't need anyone's approval to live your life.
Becoming the same as them, just in reverse, only is going to make the gulf wider... I just don't understand how people think that strong arming something is going to get them to bend, it won't... they'll snap and things will only get worse.
Just my thoughts on the whole bullshit... both sides are doing things wrong, everyone's angry and no one is going to win.
