Unless you abort everyone who is rational or honest, I don't think you'll notice much of a difference.

Game developers are 'sneaky' because a large part of their job is being "used cars salesmen" trying to move their products (honesty is often a firable offense, especially in marketing), but Roguey is right they aren't sneaky about their politics and when it comes to pronoun or gender identity stuff it's less about being sneaky and more about them proceeding as if they've already won the argument.

I don't care about politics, I care about low quality preachy writing, tone, atmosphere and overall quality in games crafted by and for girls / sheltered retards. Now without the autists poisoning the world of man with their general confusion, lack of taste and inability to communicate we'll be exposed to half as many gender freaks and anime watchers. Even that would be a difference all good online citizens will notice and enjoy greatly and that's just scratching the surface.

I swear to god I can't wait until they can detect autism in the womb and mass abortions make them go extinct.

Jesus man, you'd wipe out 80% of the Codex just like that!?

I find the codex is actually not bad, very few posters fall for the autism traps that I leave around to identify them. If I do it anywhere else, I'll catch bags full of them with every post. But then the question is, are they autistic or just bots? Who knows, all the same to me. Get them off the internet.

After that veilguard review, I wouldn't trust anything Mortisimal has to say.

Watching YouTubers is a grave mistake and another step to decline. They are all grifters milking their audience. Give back written revios. I don't have time to watch or listen, but I can read fast and it requires much less time.

Lilura jargon. Have never seen literally anyone else use that term, and it apparently just means "games from the late 90s". Remember that Lilura is a pleb who can't into Golden Age CRPGs and who ranks Baldur's Gate as the greatest CRPG of all time. Not somebody to emulate, but here we are.

Everything after Windows 95 made anything more complex than a shooter or puzzle game palatable.

Yeah only staff are allowed to do that.

This decline could have been avoided if Codex registration had included one simple question: Do you reject Bioware and all its works?

This place started as a Black Isle/Troika fan site that didn't care too much for ancient dungeon crawlers and Lord British wank.

Pronouns are actually a good hint that a game is gonna be unbearable trash, because game developers are sneaky and dishonest so you need to scrutinise everything carefully. That said, you don't need any hints for this one.

Game devs are loud and proud about their liberalism, nothing sneaky about it.

Pronouns in particular broadcast that they are going to self censor on certain topics or themes, the characters will be tokenized purely for diversity's sake, the setting will be like a Seattle Gender Studies Major's fever dream, and everything will play second fiddle to tedious lectures about an unhinged, cultish political ideology.

Original Codex cared even less for Baldur's Gate, while selecting Morrowind as GotY 2002.
