      There’s nothing in this conversation that you could even consider a strawman, yet, so I don’t know what you think that word means.

      However, I must just assume you aren’t part of a minority community if you haven’t been affected by people constantly bitching about how some piece of media is too woke now because it had a woman/gay person/trans person/person of colour existing in the content. Yes, they are a vocal minority. But it is by no means uncommon to encounter them.

      You may see substantially less of it on Lemmy since it is a predominantly left leaning space in general, and the left tends to be more accepting of non cishet white male presence

        You are “affaceted” by the shit people say online about video games?

        You do understand that at any given everything you can imagine is being said?

        Do you go out of your way to find this “content” to get “triggered”?

        People have a right to criticize video games and their developers, it is your right to make a judgement if that criticism is valid.

        I am not following how you are “affected” by online discussions lol

          Eh, I gave you the benefit of the doubt but it doesn’t seem you’re here to have a good faith discussion.

          People have every right to criticise whatever they want. I never said they didn’t. Goodbye, troll.

      It really isn’t. Companies absolutely love using it as an excuse for why their shit product sold like shit, but these people are absolutely out there.

      Go spend 10 minutes on 4chan’s /v/ideogames board or /b/ - Random board for the most obvious and quick demonstration.

        I don’t base my view of society on fringe opinions esp if they are linked to corpo propaganda.

        I highly doubt most people share this sentiment. But normal healthy opinions are not provocative, they don’t get people going so online discussions is all about blowing up fringe opinions

          While true, that is absolutely not what you were saying.

          People having fringe opinions are still people who exist. Your personal choices about how much they matter or don’t doesn’t materially effect their existence.

            I am saying that basing your argument based on some opinions posted on 4chan is a 🤡 exercise
