@raphkoster @TomF the one unfortunate part of this video is "maybe there is a saturation of woke stuff in games now and maybe that isn't a selling point anymore"

As someone who makes "woke" indie games I can assure people that there isn't (over) saturation of progressive themes in games now. It's just not true

@eniko @raphkoster I suspect he means "relative to the market size that cares" in the same way that you can argue there's too many looter-shooters, not because every game is a looter-shooter, but because they have saturated the market that wants those games.

Whether he's right or not - how would I know? How would he know?

@TomF @raphkoster he doesn't know, because his evidence seems to be

1. Outcry over there being too much of it, which we know is actively astroturfed by the far right

And

2. "I am a politics-less YT channel and I want to be an equitable centrist and not upset anyone so I'm just going to both sides the issue just to be sure"

I dunno, i did not find that to be very compelling reasoning

@TomF "This is a sensitive subject and I understand that most people don't really like it when *non-political* YouTubers talk about overtly political topics"

"I do think it's reasonable for people to question what role it's (wokeness) played in Western gaming's downfall"

"And there you go, we discussed wokeness without me saying anything controversial, so no-one should be angry"

i was paraphrasing what he said, himself, about himself/his channel, in his own video. he called himself/his channel "non-political" and the entire segment was very "i'm not picking a side so let's look at both" so i short-handed that to "centrist", since that's what centrism is

he even says more than once that (paraphrased) anyone is free to do what they want, it's all supply and demand and the market will sort it out, which is an extremely centrist perspective

it's not hostility or labeling to call something by its name
