This really started a couple years ago, but this year just amped it up. There was that guy in Central Park that said he was going to kill that woman's dog and then recorded her reaction to make her look racist. Of course, none of these organizations I've supported mention his facebook posting where he says he threatened her dog then hit record. No, they say "This poor BIPOC [wtf???] was trying to bird watch when a white woman weaponized her white privilege with the police. That's an actual quote.
Every article now has to throw in something about oppressing minorities. I was reading one about this spot in New Mexico that was going to be turned into an asphalt factory. The Fish & Wildlife Service bought it, and turned it into a huge park, preserving the surrounding neighborhood and sparing them from having to deal with...you know...an asphalt factory. You think this article would be congratulating the FWS right? Nope. They said "while it's nice that the FWS bought the land, it IS run by a government agency and with that comes the history and legacy of opression, racism, and genocide of minorities". Because minorities all have 100% awareness about what government branch owns the land they walk on with each step of their days, or something. Or maybe they can see some border around those lands that white people can't, and they know if they cross that border they'll be double-genocided 2K20 360 no-scoped. I'm being facetious, but you get the point.
Then there's a movement to rename bird species because some are named after white people from 200 years ago. So those people must be racists. Not only that, but because they're named after these racist white men, it makes black people not want to go birding. I guess because black people have a tome that contains the name of every single white person that's racist from 200 years ago. So when they decide they want to try bird-watching, they go to the tome and are saddened to see that many birds are named after registered racists, and they give up their new hobby. Seriously, I don't even know who half the people are that birds are named after, but these organizations imply that blacks have a full compendium of knowledge on these individuals and their racist pasts.
Sorry for the rant, but this has been really disheartening. I used to donate heavily to these organizations, without any stipulation as to where the money goes. Lately I've been forced to specify that it is to be used for land acquisition, restoration, or bird rehabilitation/rescue only.
Seconding the video games. I remember they just used to be fun. Now the whole AAA video game industry (with the possible exception of Nintendo) is being used to push the leftist agenda. Always gotta check the boxes for a black character, a female character, a gay character, etc. And they're not allowed to be flawed characters either, they have to be perfect Mary Sues. Heroic and good straight white male characters are becoming incredibly rare. It's much more likely they'll be the bad guys in a thinly veiled expy of nazis. Bonus points for having the bad guys' leader be a mockery of Trump in some way.
Thank God for the indie market. Indie games are much better anyway, as one can find good games that aren't crammed chock full of lootbox nonsense, but that's a rant for another day.
Ubisoft has a message now that appears as you open every game since Black Flag that says, This game has been developed by multiracial group of lgbtfyada yada.
Great, thanks for virtual signaling!
Ubisoft has been on my boycott list for a while now.
Far Cry 5 ended up being unintentionally based though, which was great considering how all the lefties were initially hyped for it thinking it was going to be Republican Murder Simulator
They've been doing that since Assassin's Creed 1 actually
Ugh. I did not know that. Odyssey was my first AC game, then I went backwards to Origins and BF.
Have you seen Animal Crossing? It's pure leftist wacko land. You're all a bunch of furries living on an island picking it up and cleaning it to pay off rent to your local Fief, with no relief, no end in sight, and the rents just keep going up, up, up.
It's conditioning people for eco-paganism and no longer owning private property. This ties directly into the Great Reset, where "you will own no private property, and you will be happy".
ALL the things you grew up loving have been compromised by a creeping leftist totalitarianism that will just keep pushing you into a smaller and smaller space mentally and physically.
I haven't played Animal Crossing. That's unfortunate to hear. I had hoped that Nintendo, being a Japanese company, wouldn't follow the same path that so many major video game companies here in the US have.
I think you reading into that too much. The people are animals because it's a cutesy little game for kids, and you DO eventually pay off the debt you start with if you work hard enough (you know, like a mortgage?)
Spez: they did make a point in the later games to let you be able to cross dress your character and encourage you to do it, so it's not perfect
