What is funny is that people will look back on Veilguard 10 years from now and go, "WTF? Why is sexuality such a big issue in this game?".

It is kind of like how 70s movies are so bonkers. We will look back on this era of gaming and wonder why it is so weird.

Nature is healing. And it's not just video games

It's incredible how tolerant gamers (and other people) actually were for a very long time. Woke people kept taking step after step criticizing anything that was normal and kept infusing entertainment with their own bizarre worldview and mindsets. Sure, some murmured but overall wokeness was the dominant and only ideology allowed on online discussion sites. Then recently something happened and it was clear that normal people had been pushed around too much and pushed too far for their tastes. It's the greed of woke people that is undoing them now. They can only blame themselves and I honestly hope that woke ideology becomes something people look back at with shame.

I've said this before, but people are naturally tolerant. The majority of people will tolerate viewpoints and ideas different from their own, but there's a limit. The sheer volume of activism/ideology and how it's impacted so many different areas, how extreme it is in some cases, the erasure of established norms and history for the sake of rigid, narrow-minded 'inclusion', and attacking and labeling being the response to any criticism. There's more but you get the gist.

I'm paraphrasing but a person I watch on YT said something like - no one wants to live with their mind in a cage. Mandatory acceptance of beliefs others push on you, rejection of your own beliefs, and no opportunity for discussion - that's what we've been expected to do by these activists. I agree about hoping it's something people look back upon with shame, in particular the governments and businesses that really helped amplify this extremism.
