 I don't want to talk about video games in the man is here. Yeah, but it's also video games and kind of woke culture like When I first find your channel actually it was because I was looking at one of my favorite games ever the last of us Yeah, and then also of course. Yeah, I love it and then last of us to and you had One of the first videos I saw and I think it's how your family I find your channel actually Yeah, and what's funny is I thought you're just a video game channel Like I didn't realize you did much wider commentary and reporting and stuff Mmm, but I don't want to talk about like the video the man is fear is aware that video games like Hollywood like movies Like the media is infiltrated by woke stuff and it's being destroyed and particularly the movies like really obvious But video games are also so there's an awareness of this in this in our community But there's also a lot of hostility to like any anybody playing games at all It's always yeah, especially the trad guys. They just mock it constantly and it's like low to me It's like catnip for conservatives and these guys who are like the one to be hyper masculine. Yeah video games, man Go outside and chop some wood. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just dumb I've never agreed with that. I'm one of the only guys in our community. It's ever said anything about it I'll post like a Zelda game I get or something and people like these dudes You know these dudes by the way who are saying that they're playing like candy crush on their phone I guarantee it I guarantee it like you know and I know that these dudes that are like Man, just read some ancient philosophy instead of playing video games. Yeah, right You're sitting at home watching nice ice bath, right? You're watching housewives Stuff or garbage trash TV. Come on like Yeah, it is disappointing that it like Tradcon guys are weird about video games because I think that's just stupid It's like the same people like I hate NFTs But I'm not so stupid to like not know that this is gonna be a huge space and I need to understand it and like So like if you don't like video games, that's fine But if you're like actively trying to like disparage them, that's yeah, because it's an important tool like you mentioned for like in the culture war Yeah, that You know, it all plays into the a lot of the a lot of the tropes that I talk about is like um, there's this huge push Demasculate you know emasculate men. Yeah in every in every way like they told us for years that you know guys drinking soy was good and and that women didn't like Guys who are fit and they they try to sell us the dad bod Yeah, guys with the pop bellies are the hottest thing around. It's cute. It's cute man. Be fat Yeah, like these are all like I don't go super tin foil but In my opinion Much of this is part of a bigger Push to like emasculate men Remove like look at your own military look at our military ads versus China's China's have like a bunch of Chad Chinese guys blowing up stuff and fighter jets and our guys are like, ooh I'm a mem. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community and yeah, like bro Who do you want defending your country? Like it's the rock goes all the way to the top. It's in the schools It's why that it's why there's a thing. There is no toxic masculinity there is only masculinity and that there it's it's very prevalent in the Video game community that You know these these beta male and Man-hating women end up in positions and I think they get off on it. I think they get off on Like there's somebody at last was to it's like subversion. They're like, oh, yeah, everyone loves Joel. Let's have a obvious like dude chick dude Kill him because that'll piss everyone off like that's how they think it wasn't even just that though Like I really tried to play it even though I knew it was gonna be terrible because I hate all this Well crap and the last of us one had almost zero that right very very maybe like Bill being gay That's in kind of shoehorn, but that was very minimal And that never bothers me like when I say, okay, here's a token character fine, whatever, you know Yeah, exactly. But the way the way to even characterize Joel before he dies I didn't even get that far. I played the opening and I just fucking shut it down. They destroyed him Yeah, he's a destroyer shell before himself. Well, look what they did to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Yep. Oh all the men love Luke. Let's turn him into a huge coward like And what planet and what world know that else It was in what reality would Luke Skywalker turn into that loser one where people want to subvert and like oh This is the all millions of young boys looked up to this guy Let's make him drink titty milk. Yeah, there's in my mind I'm sure not every case is like this, but I could absolutely see somebody being like Like let's let's destroy these male role models Let's show men that these guys are really just not as cool as I thought they were and you just see it everywhere So you don't think it's necessarily a conspiracy, but it is an interconnected is what you're saying an intentional Yes, I believe it is absolutely intentional. I don't go so far as to Say like oh, there's somebody at the top like puppet mastering. Yeah, some people do and I don't have information to the contrary So I just let it ride. Yeah, but I've interacted with enough of these people who are in charge of things at Marvel Who are in charge of things that Disney that talk like this? You know what I mean like it's not me just saying this is a feeling This is me interacting with these weirdos for the past five ten years covering these people and this is how they talk You know like oh, we're gonna take this comic book and You know, we're gonna have a fat character and then we're gonna have We're gonna own the chuds or we're gonna have a character named snowflake in safe space like literally and they got destroyed Like the book never even came out. Well ever wrote that You know that was deliberate. That was deliberately. Is it true that Superman was recently Butt-poked in prison that I understand that correctly. That's correct. Yeah, that's great. That's really crazy Superman like are you kidding me? And also they turned the new Superman it's not Clark Kent It's his son, but hey, he's gay by our comic book like wow that stuff is so lazy It's offensive to me. Yeah, it's not the fact that he's gay. It's just like Jesus Are you that do you think we're that dumb and they? So, yeah, I think that and in video games, too, like I think that 99% of the people that work at these video game companies love making video games They love the game. They're making right then they have like two or three people at top We see this because the positions. It's a brand new position that didn't exist 10 years ago. These Gdi positions right gender diversity and inclusion positions Diversity executive officer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, or do whatever. Yeah, all these big companies now They have these people. Yeah, and it's their job to look at this final product and be like well You don't have and then and then I think what makes it look shoehorn is then they go back and like oh crap You know, I have to I have to make We got to make this character gay now or we got to make this character You know less toxic or this and and and like there are people that get off on ruining masculinity. This is undeniable but also You know, I do think most like grunts who like who work at these companies because I talked to them like when I rip on blizzard Or I rip on electronic arts or whatever their employees email me like bro. I like your videos, but come on man I'm just a coder. I just you know, I don't make these decisions to kill Joel That's like made by Neil Druckman Exclusively like there isn't anybody else of that company. That's like, you know doing that to there's even employees that protested, right? They left they result. Yeah, so So, I mean like I get it but like I think it's a natural progression when these people when with success comes This like lean to the woke we see with Ethan Klein, right? He made a bunch of money now He's like a woke idiot and the worst about it. It's a youtuber. Yeah H3H3 productions. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that Yeah, yeah, like he grew up on edgy humor and then now he's putting on tweets like oh I interviewed Jordan Peterson made all the money from it millions of views, you know But he's a gateway to the alt-right. Can you believe somebody said gateway to the alt-right in 2022? Well, Ethan Klein did and he's like got 2 million Twitter followers that he's a gateway to the alt-right So I'm gonna delete this video. I did two years ago and then pause or applause, you know, and once people get money They all move to the same place. They all talk to the same people They no longer have to worry about putting out great products because they just have to get the be a part of that marketing machine where yeah, oh, this is a stunning and brave situation now because You know Abby who's I mean, even if you think that they were trying to hint at her being Trans or if you play the game, you know, she's not trans but like the fact that she's like She's like super jacked, right? Yeah, she's ambiguous. Like she's sexually ambiguous. Like he their angles You're like, this is a dude and By the way, where are you getting roids in a post-apocalyptic world for a woman to maintain that kind of body mass like 30 was it 30 years in a post-apocalypse, right? 30 years later. Not a year later 30 30. Yeah, where's she getting her? Andrew, you know, like where's she getting her muscle milk? Like a woman to pack on that much body mass. So like I know it's just a video game fine. They're zombies, you know, but like You know that kind of stuff is On purpose But it let's pause though because it's not just you know video games and whatever it's entertainment stuff It's more than that because in my view it's art and there's hundreds of millions of dollars just in like one franchise like the last of us Never mind the company's backing it like Sony that own it and Naughty Dog or whatever It's like this is a serious thing involves a lot of money and influence for what people are going to be inspired by and what they're Gonna aspire to maybe even if it's a video game, right? Joel was a character was very masculine and it's like traditional way in game one is really well done and Then he gets killed by trans Abbey supergoat so steroid chick and he's Yeah, that's the important part is that he didn't die like heroically either. Yeah, they emasculated him They destroyed his legacy that was on purpose. Yeah, and like it's just just reading about it Yeah, and they and and by the way, it's also gonna mean HBO show and you know what I'd be willing to bet I'd be willing to bet that Joel's back to that traditional masculine role. I just I just have this weird feeling that like Justin you expect it to be like woke trash Joel's gonna you know gonna good again and he's gonna be strong and and yes, they'll have like the woman with the side shaved cut hair and like You know whatever but like When you want to appeal to the masses the masses don't like that crap Yeah, women like strong men men like strong men Men like beautiful women women like beautiful women. This is like a marketing my background is in marketing This is a actual fact of marketing like Beautiful people and average people and ugly people all prefer to watch and look at beautiful people Yeah, period and so it's like when the you see commercials on tv and it's like
