With all the layoff news, there's been a pretty sudden shift in gamer opinion toward being pro-union/pro-regulation and such. Much more lefty on this particular issue, not necessarily overall. When people say gamers are right-wing they mostly mean social issues.

Yeah I find that pretty interesting. At least from my erm idealistically libertarian but not deluded enough to actually think it’s flawless point of view. I guess it feels pretty per issue / reactionary

It's definitely a weird cognitive dissonance to see gamers complain about "snowflakes" and "SJWs" in one breath, while saying that game devs need to unionize in another. It's almost like Gamergate brainwashed millions into political positions they never actually thought through.

Odd thing with GG was that r/KIA polling continually had people self reporting to the left... It’s an odd one - rather hard to tackle well without getting hit from all sides. A big ol’ mix of people imo. Ah pre 2014, what a simple time.

Lol, I take political self-reporting with a heavy, massive grain of salt when people like Sargon and Dave Rubin exist and call themselves left-wing. The Nazis called themselves Socialists too.

I don’t think I’d have said hung with unsavoury people? I don’t think I’ve mentioned her in years?

I’m highly suspect of that, mostly because I don’t know who she associates with? Am open to me just not remembering what I’d said though
