Sad. It's one thing to make a review of a game and bash on it, because that takes some actual dedication compared to streaming (Looking at you, Hasan), but then again I'm physically incapable of understanding why "Reaction Youtubers" ever became a thing.
It's based on commentary. The more entertaining the commentary, the bigger the fanbase. Hence why people love to watch a bunch of goofballs or anime avatars react to something in a video game or a show. Reaction Youtubers have replaced angry Youtube reviewers as the new big dogs on the block. And unlike the angry reviewer crowd, there's very little effort. Just put yourself on the camera while the show or game is playing, and make sure to be entertaining to watch as you play or watch the media.
The audience likes seeing people react to something they like, whereas gamers who get lost in certain areas of a game could always use these Let's Players as a free strategy guide. No more will you need to pay $20 for a game guide or go to IGN when just watching some schmuck play the game will show you where you can and can't fool around.
The funny thing is that Japanese manga/anime/games was never all that none-woke, it basically provided the fertile soil for those mentally frail troons to think that they could look like one of the traps popularised by Japanese media. "Everyone is gay for Bridget? Wow, everyone will be gay for me too! Except it won't be gay because I'll be a real girl." Also, weren't there lesbians in Sailor Moon?
I watched lots of anime in my yougner days, visited anime forums, and had lots of friends who shared my interests. There were terms for traps, for pretty boys/femboys, for beautiful masculine men, et cetera, et cetera. This wasn't true of all anime of course, I never watched Dragonball for example, but I imagine it hasn't got any traps considering how popular it is with the otherwise HOMOSEXUELLER VERBOTEN-crowd. However, while anime might not be "woke" in the way we think of it today (even though the word basically means "a potential nigger/faggot whom I disagree with" these days), it certainly enabled it on the sexual deviancy front.
I respectfully disagree. As I've said before, most of the gay shit in anime usually exists for the titillation of the male audience. Sailor Moon is the exception, not the norm. Most of the gay shit, be it Yaoi or Yuri, is made so that straight audiences, male or female, can get wet. It's the exact opposite of woke. In fact, it's kind of offensive to the woke that the gay sex is objectified so as to give straight, heterosexual people a stiffy.
Razor once identified Yaoi-Yuri manga as woke, when in reality, most of that stuff is offensive to the woke, since it's usually the straight audience objectifying gay romances.
Sure, but American Jews working hard shouldn't affect how Americans view Israel, should it? American Jews and Israeli Jews are not the same. (Then again, I've come across Americans who seem to think that because Spain and France are neighbours, their cultures must practically be the same, so maybe the American view on that is different.)
I'm sure some American Jews have connections to Israel, but aside from the fact that America and Israel are allies the sheer dedication to Israel seems off.
There's also the Evangelical angle that I forgot to mention. Some of these American Evangelicals believe that restoring Israel to the Jews would hasten Judgement Day due to their misinterpreted views of the Bible. So aside from the capitalist angle, there's that theological angle that the Israeli Jews are more than happy to take advantage of, even though Israeli Jews are either secularists who don't believe in that crap, or Hasidics who outright despise Christianity in all its forms.
Sex in video games any media (that aren't entirely dedicated to that particular purpose at least, but that's an entirely different genre and conversation) is and always has been crude and unnecessary. However, in games that include straight and gay relationships, like Mass Effect, it's included just to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. Video games cost money to make, devs gotta recoup their losses, yadda yadda, capitalism. Those games don't need romance options at all, but you can blame Hollywood for giving in to decadence and cramming sex scenes into every single fucking action movie. Sex sells, and just like pushing women into the workforce meant more profit, selling gay sex means more (potential) profit.
It's actually kind of funny, considering that the lesbian species known as the Asari in ME1 is pure fanservice for the boys in the audience. I mean, you have blue, sexy space elves who look like Aayla Secura, except they can live for 1000 years, and their boobs get bigger as they age, and they've all got psychic powers and can mate/reproduce with any alien species. Bioware in the 2000s might have been LGBT-friendly, but they're not above using that to lure male gamers in with cheesecake. Even Female Revan and Juhani in KOTOR aren't that bad to look at, with most versions of Female Revan looking fine, and Juhani being a catgirl Jedi would probably get the furries' attention.
They were casting a wide net, trying to get both gays and straights to play their game.
No curiosity to be found there, it's all still just Socialists vs Capitalists to him.
That's because Razor doesn't want to accept that there's nuance in politics. He wants to reduce everything to religious capitalists vs. godless socialists, even though there's many different flavors of both. Some flavors of capitalism are extremely secularist or even downright anti-Christian, such as the French Revolutionaries who were supported by the French bourgeoisie capitalist class against the French King and Church. Some forms of Socialism can be very religious, such as Latino socialism which incorporates some form of Catholicism or Protestantism into the mix. Castro expelled the Evangelicals from Cuba, but kept the Jesuits.
Razor wants to ignore all this nuance because his worldview would be challenged if he did. So it's a case of willing ignorance that keeps him in that state of mind.
Suggesting that entertainment be good first instead of prioritizing anti-wokeness will make you a heretic in the eyes of the culture warriors. Being critical of games like Stellar Blade and being skeptical of Wukong made me an apostate in the eyes of the anti-wokesters. It's become a suicide cult just like the SJWs. I probably should've questioned Razor's motives when he was sweeping for Grummz, but back then I didn't really know much about Mark Kern.
That's the problem; entertainment was already entering a slump before the woke walked in. Gaming was being dominated by devs that try to microtransaction things to hell or just follow whatever game was making the big bucks. Comics were full of retcons and resets. Movies were becoming boom-fiestas with less and less substance as time goes on. And the fact that some culture warriors like Matt Walsh would attack something like the Sonic 3 movie, or Razor attacking First Descendant, for completely asinine reasons, goes to show that their own tastes matter to them more than what is objectively good or not.
Part of the reason why the woke virus managed to waltz in easily was because entertainment was entering a slump; so these companies were more than happy to get some pocket change from USAID, Vanguard, or Blackrock to make their products woke. If the entertainment business was successful and robust, these parasites would've found little success in trying to break in.
Part of his point is that Warhammer (I assume he means 40k) was a Battletech rip off, which is just wrong. It's like his Blade Runner fanboyism where he claims Ghost in the Shell is a Blade Runner knock off, but then dismisses cyberpunk manga that pre-dates Blade Runner as immaterial.
If something breaks Razor's worldview, he ignores it. He ignores the fact that the "White Wolf" moniker wasn't invented by Moorcock for the Elric Saga; it was a moniker from French literature that predated both Elric and the Witcher. Warhammer 40K is itself derivative of many series, such as Dune, Star Wars, Starship Troopers, (Imperium) Lord of the Rings, (Orks/Eldar) Aliens, (Tyranids) Terminator, (Necrons) the Elric Saga, (Chaos) among others. Maybe some Battletech influence was taken for the Tau, but that's hardly the biggest influence.
He also wants a AAA Mechwarrior sequel, but I don't know why. Current year AAA is dead with bloated budgets and wokeshit everywhere. Does he really think that Battletech would escape the AAA machine without pronouns and microtransactions?
Most western AAA games cannot escape the wokeshit influence or the microtransaction influence. Danny-boy is foolish for thinking that Battletech would be spared that influence when 40K, DC, Marvel, Halo, and Star Wars were not.
Looks like Danny is ready to go on a spergbrigade against SmashJT, and potentially the Kino Casino too. Don't know how serious it is, but Danny coming off like a twink M. Bison with his gay replies isn't helping me take him that seriously.

This dude acts like he has genuine power to ruin someone. As if the Goonergate shit and all the embarrassing stuff he's done will disappear if he gets rid of just this one guy. More than likely, it'll invite others to join up against him. I mean, I'm sure everyone here remembers what happened when Mundane Matt tried to cancel people for criticizing him.
