On
the Culture War, Gaming, and that Minor GamerGate Thing.

I
know what you are all thinking right at this moment. I do, you are thinking “Holy shit, Waynedale
Gamer speaks after a long silence, I must, at all cost, hear what this god amongst
us lowly mortals is going to say.” It is
okay; you can think like that, I am comfortable with my mantle of divinity.
Without
getting into everything, and regardless if we wanted it to happen or not, the
modern culture war has spread into the gaming world and it is not a good
thing. Well, let me tell you who to
blame, and how to fix it.
You
see, unlike real life, there is actually a meaning to the existence of the
gaming world, and that is to provide us all the entertainment we want and need
so we can forget about our meaningless existences in the real world. The gaming world is not the place for a
culture war, the gaming world is a place to play games….albeit I guess someone
could make a game about a culture war, but that would be different from
fighting the actual culture war…I think.
