like the concept of the article isn't even that bad it's just that he wrote it like such a snide self-indulgent jerk-off

it's the equivalent of writing an op-ed about how appalled they are that the new Bladerunner doesn't feature a female lead like the new star wars movies did, listing off a bunch of obscure art house films as examples of what every movie SHOULD be like, and how they refuse to let their daughter see it

My parents were reasonably woke back in the 80s and didn't want me playing with barbies because they thought it lead to a bad self-image or something, that lasted until I was like six and kept asking and asking for one and they finally had to get me a bunch. What I'm saying is that most of these guys are hot air and as soon as their kids can start pestering them for toys they'll give in because not one of them actually believes the stuff they're spouting.

look that's understandable, eating disorders are some terrifying poo poo and you can make a case about presenting impossible standards and stuff
it's not the same as being too morally superior to play a goddamn cellphone mario game

like i'm not even against talking about the sexism in games and movies and maybe even avoiding things when they get a little gross or hateful. i don't even say gendered slurs.

but i find not even explaining that some people don't have the same viewpoints and maybe didn't think things through and just skipping to not letting the kid play the loving game because if she plays it she might... what? i find this stupider than my own parents fear that if i read harry potter i'd get demon possessed.

There's a way to talk about issues while remaining respectful and considerate of the "less enlightened" people. Such articles realize they need to fulfill a certain didactic function to be effective, and that in order to be didactic, they need to start out from a broadly relatable point and work gradually, in a structured fashion, to the for many people transgressive opinion that is their point.

However nowadays so many articles, like the Mario one, are written for the sole purpose of masturbating the author's ego and to challenge the world to a pissing match over wokeness, and as a result are antagonizing to everybody who doesn't already agree with him, and even to many people who do in fact principally hold the same views.

And before that, in the 80s, it was Gore's wife, Tipper who was advocating for the labeling of record covers of releases featuring profane language, especially in the heavy metal, punk and hip hop genres. And it was generally perceived as a censorship campaign. And people remember her more for that than for advocating for mental health, homelessness, women and children. Tipper was also an LGBT rights activist while her husband was in office, despite him being not particularly in favor LGBT rights at the time. All that "censorship!" nonsense because she heard her then 11 years old daughter singing Darling Nikki by Prince. Well at least it wasn't Pussy control. Left and right it's always THINK OF THE CHILDREN or MY 8 YEAR CHILD.

well thats how alot of these people are. if they could they would ban that poo poo fast, but they settle for "criticism" and trying to browbeat and shame various devs. gently caress em. some of there points are solid but their are much better ways to go about it. plus most of these clowns arnt even fans of the medium. they just play the poo poo their hipster friends make or walking sims. those arnt bad but that isn't a solid bedrock for opinions on games, espcialy if you wont let your daughter play a loving mario game.
