I'm so sick of SJW in games and in games journalism. They pronounce all sorts of shit like "The end of the gamer" and what not, basically trying to assert that they're winning whatever cultural battle they think they're fighting. Meanwhile, their "no-violence 2d platform rhythm games featuring an all LGBT cast exploring their depressing childhoods" games they fawn over continue to not really make any money.
nenjin, I'm really trying to like you, so please stop using SJW like a 14-year-old truther.
Got a better word I should be using? Perhaps Social Justice Keyboard Warrior, to distinguish between people who do real activism from people who just talk on the internet? When your job is apparently generating articles for a website to specifically single out games that offend your sense of social values, what other word should I be using?
Also, stop discriminating against 14-year-old bruthers. Relativism, and all that.
It's just irritating when I, for exampe, check out RPS' Sunday papers and the bulk of what they find "interesting" are articles like that. It's not a conversation I find interesting, and I'm struggling to find an indie source of game news that hasn't become consumed by this issue. Imagine your favorite new site or periodical becoming 80% editorial and 20% reporting. That's essentially what it all is. Because editorialzing and getting people worked up in the comments is both easier to do than reporting (or apparently, than playing games and talking about them) and generates more page hits. It's becoming click-bait in the conversation about games.
