It’s really hard to imagine something dumber than “Gamergate 2.0.” I sincerely hope it’s all 12 year-old trolls and there’s no grown adults with jobs and responsibilities getting all in a tizzy over the race or gender of a fucking video game character.

Or journalists desperate for material trying to stir something up. “I saw a comment about a game. There’s an article!!”

Well diversity has received a ton more spotlight and discussion for past 10 years with many developers and games being “canceled” for their views, opinions and many games have been heavily criticized for not being diverse enough or containing elements that are offensive for group a, b or c.

Now the pendulum is swinging back with those canceled or holding more conservative or religious opinions banding together to crusade against whatever they consider woke.

Result is a minefield where your game can be attacked if its not woke enough or too woke resulting in bunch of bad press.
