>>1227829 partially a consequence of shareholder-driven development where companies are only interested in the biggest budgets and margins, a single product for a single audience >>1252719 this much is true but blackrock and the other investors are doing it for ideological reasons, and they have proudly stated so on numerous occasions the problem is that they can toss around sums of money larger than a small studio makes in its lifetime, severely distorting the market The ultrarich and megacorps aren't making money for the sake of itself, they're doing it to put that money back in somewhere, manipulating politics to secure their dominance and shaping society. They exist in a different world from plebs who need to pay rent this month or small businesses who are worried about shutting down in a year. Basic functions of the market like survival and competition are meaningless at the scale they operate at. Their national governments won't even allow them to fail for poor business because of how many lives and wallets they control. >not in gacha shit not sure about that, it seems like every other gacha game ends up trying to self-censor to pander to this same ideology once they think they've got their whales hooked

>>1254784 Very well put anon. Much better than myself

>>1254685 I agree that they’re seeking money through investment firms like BlackRock and ESG, rather than trying to make a profit from people actually buying their games. But the original point I was replying to was: >I vaguely remember reading something that gay and trans people make excellent consumers due to not having the financial responsibilities the average heterosexual might have (children) which isn’t really the reason why this stuff is being added to all forms of media.

well Japan has been completely fucked by liberal bullshit since 1945 aswell

to me woke died on 10/7/2023. the system is pulling back lots of shit after the left turned against its (((masters))) and now trying to infiltrate the right using boomercons. they're trying to remoralize the population so they can feel good and join the army to die in foreign wars again. Woke is over, but the zionist regime still continues to destroy the west

>>1230959 since the (((Enlightenment))) and the (((French Revolution))) possibly since the (((Protestant Reformation)))

I don't blame the left at all. I put 100% of the blame on the right for doing absolutely NOTHING to stop this for the past 80 fucking years. but then again, the right hasn't been in power since 1945 or even 1918.

>>1264554 It hasn't stopped even slightly. 100% of the woke shit is still happening. Then the neocon controlled ops just lied and said it's dead and everything is solved because they won 1 election (the only time they have even won a single battle in the entire western world in 8 years) based on aboslutely nothing. >>1264588 As you said they have no opposition. Look at Kamelo Anthony. Conservatives are all just tattle tale losers that say 'So what you're just allowed to do whatever you want? That's not fair' and do nothing. Meanwhile leftists always attack their enemies constantly no matter what so they always win. Leftists pwn Testlas everywhere so people stop buying Teslas and Tesla owners put humiliation stickers on their cars and win and conservatives go 'but you're now allowed to do that even though you are and want us dead' and loose instead of doing an equivelent

This thread has an unusual amount of shilling and gayops compared to most threads. I think they really get asshurt when a creative says "idk I think this is all a bit loony". There's always this quick, blatant scramble to dismiss and downplay it.

>>1265063 I actually do see a trend of shit being less woke. definitely it's a lot less woke than 2020 >no more BLM >no more antifa >free speech (or at least some) allowed on places like X >a bit more free than the woke era. allowed to talk about more things as long as it's not a threat to (((them))) >the left completely split and chattered after 10/7/2023 >many elites like Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg switched to the right >the regime needs men to fight for its wars again, so they need to back down on woke >Israel is having trouble in the middle east it's a slow process, but I do think we're getting away from it. I'm actually more worried about what might replace it

>>1265200 >switched to the right dyrbi?

>>1228779 Thanks anon.

>>1227831 And were very close to undercovering USAID, I believe.

>>1288867 I always felt that it was a mistake to stop digging in that direction.

>>1227506 He's correct in everything he said.

>>1288926 Oshii is one of the greats, so it's no surprise.

>>1288867 Didn't USAID donate literal billions to Soros foundations?

>>1227506 Based guy

>>1227506 He ain't wrong

>>1265200 >I'm actually more worried about what might replace it Remember Reagan? That's the replacement

>>1291792 Violence is not the answer, it is the question. The answer is yes

>>1265200 >I'm actually more worried about what might replace it Corporate globalism powered by AI social engineering. Multiple political parties dependent on AI to spread their messages across AI surveilled platforms designed to either amplify or silence chosen narratives. Economic incentivization to double down on AI use to direct cultural and social initiatives on industrial scales. Demoralization and encouragement of violence (as a pretext for draconian surveillance laws) are a given. Right wing, left wing, won't matter. (((They))) have no allegiance or loyalty to any nation or creed other than their own.

>>1227506 > political correctness has made western games ‘terrible’ Its not just political correctness, its the damn fucking greedy kike who thinks they know what the goyim want, the same thing happened to the music and movie industry, you get a era of experimental and unique products, fifth and sixth generation, followed by an era of absurd trash. https://youtu.be/xP4wsURn3rw

>>1293188 They don't care what the goyim want. It's not about that. It's about what THEY want the goyim to be digesting

>Mamoru Oshii thread >No mention of Panzer Cops This is a hostile thread takeover. Resistance will be met with liberal force.

>>1334987 >liberal No I don't want that!

>>1227506 It's somewhat true, but only part of the story desu. The reality is that there are very few good artists in the West who make it through the meat grinder of art school. There is little other infrastructure for artists in this region. The end result is that you have almost no artistic talent, and no one of worth enjoys ugly games, art, etc.

>>1229622 That type of schizophrenic shit trickles down into everyone's daily lives. The modern world is everyone trying to have everything both ways and living with cognitive dissonance, and it makes everyone into a fucking basket case. Everyone needs to stop being such gigantic feminine pussies and fucking own up to themselves.

>>1227506 >There is nothing wrong with that. In a mature society, it is a natural responsibility. There is something wrong with it: they were socially weak for a reason. They don't deserve to be lifted up, they deserve to be fucking culled.

>>1264588 It's all for nothing if people don't start talking about economics and TKD. All of that disruptive culture war bullshit was just a distraction from the things that actually matter.

>>1227506 You only have to look at how Atlus is censoring Kaneko's art in SMT to know how much the west is dumbing down and censoring Japanese content now. Even though sexual themes are largely esoteric in it to the point where it's beyond necessary. It's like westerners don't realise that sex is human nature and that it's embedded in non-abrahamic iconography. That's how dumb westerners are becoming. How long before they start banning hundu and bhuddist art for ESG policy reasons in the west? Even though that's ironically Eurocentric and highly racist. It's not even politically correct anymore. It's just western puritanism, only they leverage communities calling themselves left winged AND the right. I don't even think the fucking Nazies censored as many books and media items as we currently do now. It's outrageous to consider this state a liberal state. There's nothing liberal about it. You're just puritans. And that's why content is boring now.

>>1293081 Can we stop calling it liberalism or conservative even. Let's just call it what it is - corporatism.

>>1336628 Bullshit, the economics is why the culture war is justified. It is leveraged by major banks through think tanks and whatnot through corporate governance and general harassment of individuals that do not comply with or work outside of it (as that is competition to their corporate racket's own equity standards and therefore likely to produce shit better than their shit). It is money that is the number one driver of marxists nowadays. Clearly. Just look at how many are paid by these regimes to push cultural marxist bullshit. It's not even marxist. It's just corporate benefiting ideals pretending to be marxism at time. All this shit is just designed to "limit risk" btw. That's it. And if it's not, then it's merely perturbing shit carefully to benefit hedge funders.

>>1230413 That's debt-based economies for you. Infinite growth is paramount. Anyone who slows down dies.

>>1377736 >Westerners Americans, Europeans are fine with sex.
