Let me quickly summarize the new God of War Laufey controversy, but without any straw man arguments such as accusing people of "fearing women."
>western game studios were politicized thanks to activist employees and activist investors.
>some people passed the litmus test, so they understand that politicizing a fictional hobby about fun/escapism is bad.
>some failed the litmus test so they write off criticism they do not understand as "hate."
>some agree with the agenda so they write off criticism they dislike as "hate."
>underneath it all is a leftist ideology that believes attractive female characters = sexualization, objectification and misogyny... and an obsession with "diversity and inclusion."
>enter western game developers deliberately designing female fictional characters who are ugly.
>people rightly point out that she's ugly. other people get mad and incorrectly assume that means we're calling the actress ugly: we are not.
>also some people find it a bit weird that a game called God of War, which has been about Kratos, The God of War, is back-seating him for a new woman.
>some speculate that this is the result of the aforementioned politicization, because pattern recognition and the left-wing activist obsession with "inclusion."
>the God of War developers are based in California.
The end. Hope this helps.
Liberals will ask, "Why can't you just enjoy it?" at the same time other Liberals post, "Everything I do in life is with the intention of making you miserable".
People are not angry because they can't enjoy things. They are angry because they correctly understand that the things they once loved are being converted into weapons for an ideology that hates them.
There is a very obvious sadistic side to Progressivism's hijacking of things like movies and video games. These people do not love the media they're destroying. They're not trying to make something good. They just want revenge against the normal world.
They want the actual fans to feel alienated and dispossessed. That's the entire point.
And every so often, someone is bold enough to admit it.
