You must not have a very large circle of friends.

$11 billion dollars and this is an old article.

People have to have something besides work.

LOL, the average age for a gamer today is in their 30s. And the video game industry makes more money than the movie and music industry combined.

One article, and right wing nutters are starting posts and losing their minds over supposed left wing outrage. LOL.

Corollary: anyone who spends personal time posting on City Data Politics a loser or too stupid to vote.

Video games, watching sports, C-D trolling... we all have ways we choose to spend our time

I suspect 100X more Republicans will share this then SJW's will because the Republicans are looking for as many ways to smear the left as they can.
They'll share it because poking fun at political correctness and identity politics appeals to a very broad audience. And it's funny because clueless Democrats and other leftists just don't get it. I am continually amazed, and amused, to see major Democratic pols and media doubling down on rhetoric that is the object of such widespread ridicule.

True, but you don't have to search to find liberals upset over everything, they screech it loud and clear from every media outlet they control (almost all of them).

You must not know any adults. Over 50% of adults play video games, you don't know people very well if you think NONE of the adults you know play video games.

Who plays video games? Younger men, but many others too | Pew Research Center

So there's a new game coming out called DOOM: Eternal, basically you're a space marine on Mars battling demon creatures. In the latest showing of it there were three lines poking fun at SJW's which REALLY got them upset. The lines are:

“Earth is the melting pot of the universe,”

“let’s make our friends feel welcome in their new home,”

And my favorite:

“Remember, ‘demon’ can be an offensive term, refer to them as ‘mortally challenged.’”

The SJW's are losing it, I think they're funny as hell, but what do you think?



I think you're getting worked up over a very loud and vocal, but very small, minority.



There are lots of liberals that I know that love movies like Gran Torino. Most people can separate arts and entertainment from real life. This is a non-story.

Doom first came out around 1995 as shareware with 6 levels and yes, I was hooked.
