Y'know? I think gamers are more progressive in general from personal experience, but have an over represented cohort of bigoted and hateful assholes because the industry over the past decade has enjoyed having people who'll act as industry attack dogs it weaponizes against employees and critics...
Gamers must rise up to support Republicans this November if we want to save our society

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.
The feeling of questioning whether or not something is AI as part of its destruction of all visual art

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

There's what DHS said...and then there's reality ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
Federal ICE agents in suburban Chicago over the weekend mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen, who suffered injuries to his head, neck and teeth in the confrontation, according to local police. The Department of Homeland Security said agents released the man after he identified himself.

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds

For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...

I'd be OK fighting a holy war on behalf of the libraries.
Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.
Sony has responded to a digital games lawsuit by arguing that players don't actually own the games they buy Its lawyers say they are licensed rather than sold

you have the freedom not to love this country too. because a state is incapable in of feeling or returning love. your feelings otherwise are irrational. I appreciate and am grateful I was born in a safe, stable and affluent country. I don't love the USA. It certainly does not love me back.
In the U.S., "free speech, including the freedom to criticize the government and its leaders, is not a sign of our democracy’s fragility. It is evidence of its strength... Here you can simultaneously hate the content of a person’s speech and love the country that cherishes the freedom to allow it.”

yeah every entertainer has a public persona. but you can tell a lot about the real person by the role they choose to play.

Too much modern culture only understands politics as a form of performance art and not as a form of individual and/or collective action, even though the latter is what politics actually is.
Dolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...
