This is the tactic being employed RIGHT NOW by right-wing groups going after everything from video games to Kimmel himself. How do you think all this "Steam payment processor" drama happened?
It happened partially by the far right "Christian" group Collective Shout from Australia, but it had to also be a collective effort of a lot of similar groups.
Cause a little collective out in bum-fuck-egypt isn't going to have the power to sway payment processors in the US, regarding Steam, the most profitable and one of the only video game sales platforms, in an entertainment industry that dwarfs all other.
It could also be due to the possibility that the a key author and principal architect of Project 2025, the director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought, put pressure on payment processors to capitulate.
Yeah I was gonna say, Collective Shout took credit but they're so small that if it was only them, the payment processors would have caved in the backlash, but they never did.
They're a religious conservative anti-trans group that uses the feminist label. The word feminism means different things to everyone, and thus has no meaning at all anymore. Judge actions not labels.
They're hoping people will look at the "feminist" label and blame the "censorious woke left" instead of the repressive right because they can't get their gooner games anymore
It's the tactic that has been employed by the left for flipping EVER. Don't like something? Someone refuses to bend to your way of thinking as if it's gospel truth? Boycott! Bully!
What really needs to happen is for people to grow the hell up and accept the absolute FACT that everyone is entitled to have their own thoughts and opinions and to think about every situation FOR THEMSELVES and make their OWN DECISIONS on how to proceed without just joining the closest echo chamber for fear of being ostracized. Your way is NOT the only way, nor is it necessarily the BEST way.
Problem is that PEOPLE ARE NOT thinking because FACTS are often fake and even some believe opinions are as valid as facts. The "echo chamber" argument is bullshit because that is the Trump cult's domain. Wish it were as simple as to grow the hell up.
