The Culture War Reloaded: Gaming's New Battlefront Welcome to ground zero of the gaming culture war—where pixels meet politics and everyone’s pointing fingers through cracked mirrors. In one corner, we’ve got ex-legacy media dinosaurs and DEI activists like Sweet Baby Inc., clutching pearls while playing gatekeeper. In the other?Developers, players, and creators just trying to make cool sh*t without pandering to woke ideologies and not checking twelve and a half identity boxes.From moral panic over “the wrong kind of representation” to journalists screaming victim while they plan harassment in questionable Discord servers, the hypocrisy is getting harder to ignore.

Gaming Media’s Selective Reporting and Weaponizing Controversy
Media Manufacturing Discourse and Sweeping Others Under the Rug Ah, gaming journalism—the noble profession where integrity bows before agendas, and headlines are more carefully curated than an Ubisoft press conference.Today, we dive into the strange case of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, two games with same-sex romance options, yet one got paraded around like the second coming of progressive gaming while the other got a footnote buried under a pile of Ubisoft PR fluff. Hans Capon: The Romance Option That Divided Gamers Let’s start with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the sequel to the historically immersive RPG that made “realism” its entire personality. This time, the developers thought, “Hey, let’s add a little extra...choice,” and in came the ability to romance Lord Hans Capon. While Henry was canonically straight in the first game, I personally didn't really care. […]
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows – A Missed Strike in the Dark
Assassin's Creed: Shadows—A Dive into Ubisoft's Latest Controversy Magnet Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed entry, Shadows, has landed—and with it, a tidal wave of controversy.From its historical liberties to marketing disasters, this game is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. But perhaps the biggest red flag is Ubisoft’s so-called "anti-harassment plan"—a move some see as preemptive damage control.Let’s break it all down. Was Yasuke an Actual Samurai? Let's kick things off with our protagonist, Yasuke. Ubisoft proudly presents him as an African samurai, a bold move that screams diversity. But hold your katanas—historical records about Yasuke are as scarce as a stealthy ninja in broad daylight. While it's documented that Yasuke arrived in Japan and caught the eye of Oda Nobunaga, the leap to samurai status is more speculative than solid. Some historians, like Yu Hirayama, argue that Yasuke was given a stipend, […]
Is Monster Hunter Wilds Woke? Spoiler: No, and Here’s Why
Is Monster Hunter Wilds Woke? There’s a weird trend happening where every successful game gets hijacked by left-leaning ideologues who desperately want to claim it as one of their own. Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest victim of this nonsense, with some loud voices on the internet trying to push the idea that it’s “woke.” But let’s be real—this isn’t Dragon Age: The Veilguard, this isn’t Concord, and this isn’t some Ubisoft checklist simulator where the straight white dude is a bumbling idiot who needs a lecture from the stunning and brave female lead. Monster Hunter Wilds is just a damn good game, and any “woke” accusations being thrown around are people grasping at straws. The “Body Type A/B” Argument – Not New, Not Woke One of the first things the “woke” accusers latch onto is that Monster Hunter Wilds uses “Body […]

A Tale As Old As Time The internet is full of clout-chasers looking for their 15 minutes of fame, and the gaming industry is no exception.The latest case?YouTuber McDizzle Gaming decided the best way to make a name for himself was to take down a bigger name—SmashJT. And in doing so, he pulled one of the most dishonest tricks in the book: impersonating an Ubisoft employee to manipulate SmashJT into reporting false information, just to...prove a point?The result was a tangled mess of deception, hypocrisy, and a failed attempt at self-promotion. The Setup: A Dishonest "Test" of Integrity? McDizzle, under the guise of an Ubisoft employee, fed SmashJT a fake story about a made up Assasin's Creed: Shadows leak.

The Gamergate Media Echo Chamber: Following the Money
Too Many Coincidences Gaming media feels like an echo chamber. Same talking points. Same narratives. Same forced "hot takes" that just so happen to align with a particular agenda. But why? After following the money, it turns out the industry is way more interconnected than you'd think. Strap in—we're about to take a look behind the curtain and meet the wizard. Meet the Gaming Media's Main Characters Great Hill Partners In 2019, Great Hill Partners established G/O Media after purchasing the Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion from Univision Communications Inc. That purchase included several outlets, such as Deadspin, The Onion, Gizmodo, and Kotaku. Fast forward to today—Kotaku is surprisingly the last one still standing, though barely, considering the mass layoffs it has endured recently.But here’s where it gets interesting: In 2021, Blackstone GP Stakes (yes, that Blackstone) bought an undisclosed minority stake in Great […]
