Oh I dont doubt it. Fwiw, (and I'm going go off topic from the architrects behind it, and speak as someone who creates art and reveres it) I remember when it happened that I thought it was unneccessary and overblown drama that in fact annoyed actual gamers. Like, our pass time/hobby/inspiration/artform was used as a vehicle for some politicizing down our collective throats. A square peg for a round hole. (I.e. Idgaf.) Its what turned me off from the whole social justice movements targeting entertainment since. Like I appreciate the intent, but ultimately it was just a bunch of virtue signaling lazy bones riding on coat tails of what would have once been protected as Art. One can do right by others in many ways, but to throw tantrums at Art for being 'woke' or not woke enough, I just hate it. I'm a poc and have endured, yet to me, eviscersting creativity to virtue signal is a cowardly low effort tactic. Make something (its hard!) or shut the fuck up and appreciate those that create magic, whether its games or film, whatever it may be.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
