The funding thing is so frustrating, because it's the perfect example of why democracy is fucked. You can take something that is a great idea in theory (allocating funding for the arts, especially earmarked for small business so it doesn't go to some megacorp) that sounds like a good thing to vote for. Years later you find out it got tagged to be spent on someone's pet project (pozzed shit) as a compromise and on top of that, the specific person that was in charge of approving the grant whom you had no influence over and no idea who put them in charge or how to even begin tracing that, was wildly incompetent and picked someone that would obviously waste all the money even if you were okay with their agenda. Now go back to vote again and what did you learn? Not to vote for someone that was elected 8 years ago who is never running again anyways and broke a promise for reasons beyond their control?
by definition if Africa has the greatest population then democracy just means Africanization

Fortunately, Africa doesn't have even close to the greatest population.

Unfortunately, the continent that does is full of BILLIONS of totalitarianism enjoyers.
Technically, it also houses 1.4 billion democracy enjoyers. But they are pajeets. :negative:

Pajeets don't give 2 fucks about democracy or any western values for that matter. Those who are lucky enough to escape the (designated shitting) streets and flee to the west, turn western companies into dystopian censorship nightmares. Google, Twitter, Microsoft, etc.
The brains of the Brahmin class immediately break when they see regular people having fun and not in constant misery like the untouchables in India. In fact, it's so miserable for them that they convert to Islam or Christianity.

But why are leftists not playing this game? I like the meme that there is actually no "modern audience" but go on reddit or any gaming forum and there is hundreds of thousands of these individuals. Why aren't they playing the game that is made for them? Do they not want to consume their own shit that they put out? Is this why they parasitize on any media that is not made by them?
"And tell me, is this 'modern audience' in the room with us right now?"
He does have a point. There ought to be enough nutcases willing to take one for the cause and play this game.
It does have a positive rating on Steam, for some reason, so...

Have you heard of the term 'secondaries'? redditors and leftists are secondaries. Playing video games requires effort, and that's ableist, so they choose to engage with video games by consuming second hand info but never actually playing said video games.

This is how you get a group of people who thought Bayonetta was lesbian, even though playing the games makes it clear that it was never the case.
Reddit is also mostly bots and shills. There's a reason they have to turn off comments on basically every Youtube video and when it's not turned off the algorithm automatically deletes a billion "bad" words.

This supposedly massive audience of woke retards does not exist and never has. Some movies/games with tons of woke crap get normie attention, but it's not because they're filled with trannies and niggers.

Also there are so many woke games now that the few real woke gamers don't have time to play them all (maybe they're still struggling with BG3).

Furthermore, Dustborn appears to be made for children. If so, maybe its woke content is not meant as fan service to wokeists, but to brainwash children into seeing wokeists as role models.

nobody actually believes any of the weird woke stuff, it's an artificial belief system created for divide and conquer

Virtue signaling leftists don't expect to experience the consequences of the things they push. Look at the reaction of the self-proclaimed sanctuary cities when border states started bussing illegal immigrants up to them. Consequences are for other people.

Make the Codex Great Again!
It's also kinda horryfing and hilarious how the main character of DBorn does all of the woke clichés, going as far as to gaslight and kidnap children. I suppose molesting them would have been too obvious, but I was surprised they went that far to represent lefty tactics.
Maybe the dev is secretly based and is trying to showcase how crazy the lefties can get?
Yeah at some point I'm just expecting them to do a "Hans are we the baddies?" twist. I mean you've got moves called "Cancel" and an ability literally called "Triggered". The protags associate their movement with porn and newborns. You even have this on the Steam store:

I refuse to believe all this is unironic. Either the devs are some of the most oblivious retards who somehow escaped natural selection, or this is building up to be a huge "GOTCHA! OUR PRONOUNS ARE ACTUALLY NICK/HER!"

Actually I do think it is unironic and they really are retarded lmao

there's a >50% chance the dustborn devs were held at gunpoint to make this slop

Wait, is the final boss of Dustborn supposed to be wearing a yarmulke? did the devs accidentally have a n*gga moment and admit white people are the real Jews?

It doesn't matter, not how it works. First generation, nobody believes it, not even the people pushing it. Second generation, it's accepted. Third generation, everyone truly and sincerely believes it and will swear that the things have always been so, things can never be different, and it's all a part of human nature.

Example, race mixing. First generation, you have to literally have soldiers with bayonets on the streets forcing children to go to class with niggers. Second generation, everyone more or less believes that human society is a Lethal Weapon type of flick where a nigger and a white man are often bffs. Third generation, even the staunchest right winger conservatives will die to conserve the society's love of niggers.

The "woke stuff" doesn't need to be convincing, it justs needs to be here long enough to win. The west has fallen.

The game is reprehensible to people in the West, I wonder what the Japs think of it.
