Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

An Article by Media Matters: Conspiracy monger Alex Jones (of Infowars) has been the subject of a recently released game that promotes him and his vile conspiracies, but also benefits him financially, although he claims to be bankrupt and refuses to pay damages to the people he harmed.

I got curious and found the game, it's a metal slug copy with all his so called enemies as bosses: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2487350/Alex_Jones_NWO_Wars/

Fucking $22+, for a 1980's era game featuring this fucking turd? Are you kidding me!?! Even worse most of the comments are positive, man the gaming community is full of dumb fuckers.

It is probably more that you aren't going to buy the game unless you are a fan of Alex Jones, and those people are going to be happy to pay for his shit.

It just amazes me the amount that people shell out for this loud turd, between the survival buckets and the useless if not harmful supplements, there's always more idiots willing to buy his shit, and this bastard always has a new revenue stream.

Be a shame if it got review bombed and bombarded with DMCA takedowns...

It’d be a shame if it got reported by a lot of people telling steam they may need to talk to lawyers regarding garnishing of proceeds.

[–] PoliticalAgitator 16 points 1 year ago

It won't, because the people who review bomb games are overwhelmingly right-wing reactionaries throwing a tantrum because there's someone in their video game they wouldn't fuck.

Besides, "making his game have a mostly negative review score" is not even close to justice for someone who is dodging debts he legally owes after he profited off attacking parents whose children died screaming in pain and terror after being torn apart at school with an AR-15.

And it’s exactly what you’d expect… Trump is literally a Superman character that flies around and helps you
