The truth is that many of the genres and games we have today are the result of prestigious developers and publishers either come from oppressed communities or made raunchy and shocking material that offends mainstream tastes. And yet...

Chemtrails of Arise (@databasemanimal1.bsky.social)
I never made such a claim, nor does what I said lead to such a conclusion. You're the one who claimed Taylor Lorenz said nothing about GOP and Russian interference in online media despite years of such coverage.
Chemtrails of Arise (@databasemanimal1.bsky.social)
Just to be clear, nearly all of the hate Taylor Lorenz receives is misogyny, because she's a woman who publicly holds liberals accountable and doesn't tolerate their mediocrity, bullshit, and lies. Her haters are overwhelmingly men who think he behavior is "bitchy."
Chemtrails of Arise (@databasemanimal1.bsky.social)
You don't have it straight, cuz you clearly didn't read the Wired article or watch the video where Taylor Lorenz clearly mentions GOP and Russian influence in influencer spaces. Something about Taylor Lorenz being patently correct breaks liberals.
