Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

    90s. Video games. Rap music.

    80s. D&D. Gay people existing.

    70s. Rock music. And interracial marriage?

    60s. Hippy culture. Being antiwar.

    50s. Fucking hips shaking on TV?

    Both sides were against all of that in those times, you’re clearly young.

      The comment had said “conservatives” which is true. Only recently did Democrats start leaning more towards progressivism, and even then they are still mostly a Centrist party

        It actually started with the Southern Strategy in the 70s when the Repuvlican party decided to be the party of white resentment. There was a great reshuffling after that into right/ progressive.

          I mean right, I’m just saying that the general political landscape didn’t flip overnight on some evening in 1976 or whatever. It was a slow shift over the back quarter of the last century culminating in our more modern party structure.

          Conservatives still exist on the Democratic side of the aisle today, but there’s less of them than 5 years ago and that was less than 10 years ago etc etc.
