People on the right will generally find their side's art as propaganda repulsive and distasteful, the left will gobble up whatever pushes their ideology and happily ask for more, only disowning it if it fails and rewriting history to say they never liked it in the first place

@Vidmastereon I can do one better. So there was this game called Tamashika that was nicknamed "troonslop" and called all sorts of shit by the online right and Twitter peanut gallery because of how aesthetically trashy it looked, but the "crusty anarchist subversive punk bro" left was gobbling it up.Then someone on Twitter pointed out that it was being funded and published by Harmony Korine (director of Kids, Gummo, etc.), who was at an IDF fundraiser in 2023 and the dev also is pro-Israel. Suddenly, everyone stopped pretending it was good.

In this regard leftoid gamers have one up on the chud gamers. Chud gamers just play games they hate to mald at them while at least the fucking libtards will spend a pittance on the horrible shit they claim to support.In the same vein, it's true that rightoids will not unconditionally support something that promotes their ideas unless it ticks a crapload of boxes. It seems the right will keep losing the retarded culture war

@Vidmastereon Well sorry if I'm an unhelpful rightoid but I'm not willing to consume shit just because it comes with a Hitler seal of approval. "Rightwing" stuff can just, you know, be good. Lord of the Rings doesn't need to be shameless propaganda to showcase beauty and tradition in a positive light, nor does any rightwing person need to be encouraged/forced to read the books or watch the movies because it's simply good and that's enough reason to do it.

@Morghur @Vidmastereon also>it's true that rightoids will not unconditionally support something that promotes their ideas unless it ticks a crapload of boxesLeftoids are the same exact way. Tim Soret got fucked hard because the Twitter hivemind (during pre-Elon twitter) found out he said some mild things about GamerGate and he was forced to apologize on stage. He now just posts schizo posts about AI on Twitter with a game update maybe once a year, his game has taken a long ass time to come out, and while in hindsight it might have been inevitable that his game would have merely been a "nice trailer you saw at E3 that one year", it definitely did not help. If you've ever been a chud online, you have to renounce all past beliefs and cut your dick off and post your fantasies about killing your old friends online (and then you can get away with being a 4chan janny even). And the beliefs move fast, in just a few years the left went from shitting on "Corporations are people" to "TRANS RIGHTS", and from "stop hate speech" to carving out an exception for shitting on Israel. Toby Fox is the only person who mostly got this (by using social media as a news RSS feed solely), and he fucked up only when he ran his mouth about a Spanish translation of Undertale. It's a good move because it lowers the risk of pissing off someone who will discover his Earthbound romhack days.

I love it when the left and the right can set aside their differences to come together on gassing kikes.

All of these ghouls' fake success and money doesn't come with them on the slip 'n slide to Hell. Cherish your small victories for they are infinitely more valuable than the fakes.

@Morghur @Vidmastereon >at least the fucking libtards will spend a pittance on the horrible shit they claim to support.For every Undertale/Deltarune or even Cruelty Squad, there's so many flops, games that are like Dustborn but don't even get hate played. Most of the time they end up consooming the big product, and their culture war wins in part have to do with things like the "long march through the institutions"/O'Sullivan's Law (when companies/groups are subverted), nepo hiring, etc. The pittance they'll spend money on are shit like Marathon, Overwatch, etc. I mean AAA games where there's aesthetics or messages or pandering in them. Or it's just whatever Nintendo makes. I think the big issue here is more, there's less people on the right making games. Most of the people from GG decided they'd rather be grifters like Quarter Pounder instead of being gamedevs and look where that got them. Meanwhile the left churns out slop that ends up only noticed when it's in the "LGBT gamedevs for Gaza mega-bundle" on itch.

@HellRavenLover @Morghur @Vidmastereon It dies even before they do. Remember Ezra Miller, or Kevin Spacey, or other actors who were either #MeTooed or became PR nightmares like Ezra did?Or even the guys who made Rick and Morty? They might as well be as blackballed as hard as Sam Hyde but without the cult following behind them.

Last I heard of Kevin Spacey he became the Tel Aviv Tapdancer. Glorious, truly.

@HellRavenLover @Morghur @Vidmastereon He's irrelevant now, he went from being in big name movies and Call of Duty; to being in foreign language films and films that don't even have Wiki pages.

@HellRavenLover @Morghur @Vidmastereon actually better: he's homeless now. Turns out being Hollywood Famous can vanish just like that.https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/kevin-spacey-homeless-b1258912.htmlI mean shit, there was this one insurance commercial back in the day that was satirizing how MC Hammer fell off hard by having him dancing in front of some mansion and then getting evicted and losing it all. That shit's been going on for a while, you can just lose it all faster than lottery winners.

It is, of course, not your money, wealth, or success. It belongs to the system and goes back to the system when your right to briefly enjoy it ends. See also: Bill Gates not leaving inheritance for his kids

Imagine how much better Undertale or Deltarune would be with this vitality

True there. And there is no shortage of people that will try to make "X but with my own spin" which just bloats the fucking genre with more garbage. Ultrakill comes up and we find ourselves with a sea of Ultrakill clones worse than the previous one.There is a small sector of libtards that support the small thing but you're right that the vast majority don't give a rat's ass about it and they think that just by spreading the word it will be enough.Also, didn't Toby Fox took some heat recently over Deltarune or whatever garbage he's peddling?

I guess I should buy The Great Rebellion at some point but it accurately displays the enemies you fight as disgustingly ugly and I don't like BOI for the same disgusting reason

At the very least he's sexually confused enough to write an angry bully who uses violence constantly as a girl and Ralsei as a dickless male, not even counting Undyne and that otaku relationship which is pure tumblr shit, but he does have the rare quality of being actually extremely talented and funny and not willing to tank art in the favor of TRANS RIGHTS spam

@PurpCat @Morghur @Vidmastereon This is the primary reason I've tried to disconnect from online politics in recent months and move towards making stuff instead. Blogposting will accomplish nothing.
