One of the most evil feminist campaigns has been to associate the phrase 'boys will be boys' with rape, when it was never about that, it was always about their energy & inability to sit still or be good little obedient children. It was always the latter that really irked them.
It’s not AI. Employers no longer want to invest the time and money it takes to train graduates.
The gap between what the schools teach you and what you need on the job is too wide.
At some point you aren't making an imaginary fantasy world anymore.
D&D survived the Satanic Panic.
Now it’s being run by the people who would have organized one.
A major innovation of the West was its high-trust systems. You could walk into any business, any stall, no matter how large or small, and see the ticket price for a good. It would be the same for everyone, perfectly fair.
That world we grew up in was stolen from us.
I miss when “having a career” meant learning a skill and slowly getting better at it. Now it’s endless unpaid internships, personal branding, LinkedIn performance, and the quiet understanding that loyalty is a one way street. You’re not building a life. You’re auditioning for the privilege of being exploited longer.
A company that:
1. Wants to kill off physical media.
2. Treats what you buy as a rental.
3. Thrives on predatory micro transactions.
4. Threatens legal action on anyone talking about leaks.
5. Paywalls its gameplay.
This has been a long time coming.

Take-Two is seeking DMCA subpoenas that could expose users who didn’t leak or upload GTA VI footage, but who participated in conversations within Discord servers where the leak was discussed.
One of those servers has more than 107,000 members.
Forced expulsion is not "abandonment". Come on.
We just wrapped up a dozen years of explicitly discriminatory hiring practices in favor of women and minorities within virtually every prestigious institution and career pathway, and now mainstream media outlets are apparently shocked that there are no young men in the workforce?
Who knew that if you spend years telling young men not to bother applying, eventually...they stop applying?
People support Cyberleek out of disillusionment with the industry at large.
Stop Killing Games is awesome, I support it, and yet even I know it can fail because two or three lobbyists pay for it to. It's an insane uphill battle, and Take-Two losing money feels like a W.
