i know i'm way too old to care about shit like this, but so much vaguely liberal discourse is centered around preemptively celebrating a media property because it's going to anger some nebulous right wing bogeyman. "i'm excited for the new videogame because making you play as a woman is going to piss off the chuds." it's 2026. everything pisses off the chuds. how is this a fulfilling way to live. how are you wringing any amount of enjoyment from viewing the world this way.

it's a chud way to live, tbh.

yeah, it's completely indistinguishable from the fox news grandpa fantasizing about crying SJWs

It is absolutely the same mentality on the flip side of the coin. I can't think of a more miserable way to interact with media. Why not just enjoy things because you genuinely like them, and because you demand good storytelling no matter the politics?

She looks happier now. I’m glad.

Sorry for spending so long in the character creator it will happen again
