Forgive me but I'm necessarily sure how either "dogma" or "enforce" are appropriate terms re: the odd article about how the mores as expressed in mainstream AAA videogames are pretty backward

[Brooks]

Is there a particular instance of that rhetoric that sticks in your mind?

[Brooks]

Not that this is remotely relevant but is that a bonus fight? I certainly didn't come across that in the playthrough bits I watched else I'd have mentioned it because yeeeeeeeesh

That pyramid made me laugh so fast and hard my neck now hurts

Speaking of fetish and form here's Allen Jones

Submitted without comment beyond strong suspicion that Kamiya/Platinum are not Allen Jones

"Gamer" as a term is definitely commercially and culturally bankrupt now though right

Like no one is going to try to perpetuate it without recourse to deepest sarcasm surely

That makes quite a bit of sense really I mean far be it for reactionary tools not to share the same crate

[Brooks]

Has anyone really done a good job of demonstrating or even just projecting the serious harms of political correctness-creep ever

[Brooks]

But srsly is there much to idea that some kind of sea change in what I guess I could call a social or surface or pop-cultural sphere entrenches the structural status quo rather than busts it, beyond bullshit that makes for tone arguments I mean

Old Left vs New Left etc etc

[Brooks]

The statistical rarity of that sort of event makes it hard to really know what to do with it

But as soon as the cops pile in my first thought, given current events, was "good thing he isn't black right now"
