Liberals are not leftists. And as the rise of fascism continues, especially after this year's midterms (which I think is going to be the first salvo in the coming war for the survival of anything resembling a free America), you will see how many liberals are NOT allies of progress. Many liberals will side with evil, the beginnings of which we see even now in their attempts to police the tone of those fighting back.

Yes the great fascist resurgence.

I mean, somehow the Nazi's flew under the radar for over 50 years and even fought the Nazi's to make it look like they weren't the Nazi's.
Eisenhower wasn't slick.

100% this.

What games and news they cover, how they cover them, it all represents a point of view that involves politics.

Smh at people wanting game sites to be just press releases, trailers and asigning numbers to games.

There's also, y'know, TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES- interviews, impressions, and *gasp* REVIEWS.  WITH TEXT AND STUFF BEFORE THOSE NUMBERS.

lol this seems incredibly insensitive to these cultures. He's straight up christopher columbus.

Wtf

First they teach their pugs how to be nazis, now they culturally appropriate brown people's food, and try to belittle them, to make a TV show.

I can't even.

[stufte]

They have such 1 dimensional thinking when it comes to politics. Because THEY inject politics into everything, they think if you take that away, the original thing will be basically nothing.

[Averon]

Their 'politics' are boiled down to:

Are you a Nazi or are you not a Nazi?

[Nintex]

I thought that Breath of the Wild drone warfare thing was a joke but it's actually real. Written by some nut job on Wapyoint.
That's just.... it feels like we're reaching new levels of wokeness daily with these humorless crybabies.

That sort of information would be easy to figure out by just looking at the concept art and plans for the games not to mention the interviews about its creation.

In fact their theory about Drone Warfare couldn't be more wrong:

When Nintendo set out to design the ancient technology at the heart of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the company didn't turn to science fiction for inspiration. Instead, it looked back in time to one of the earliest known civilizations: Jomon, prehistoric Japan between roughly 10,000 BCE and 300 BCE. The unique style, defined by intricate flame-like decoration — Jomon literally translates to "rope-pattern" — inspires the design of everything from the game's fearsome robot Guardian enemies to its mechanized Shrine dungeons to the tablet-like Sheikah Slate used by our hero, Link, throughout his adventure.

It was based on ancient pottery.

Next to that most of the games' design came from a single creation (the Guardian) that Aonuma made 'sci-fi' because a giant octorok(octopus) would be 'gross'

I went back to the first Zelda title. And I wanted to see an enemy like Octorok. Octorok to me when I was playing felt really large.

[...]

"But then just creating a large octopus is kind of gross, so we decided to take the more sci-fi, technology route, and that's where the visual for the Guardian comes from. And that decision leads into the storyline, and influenced many other elements we added to the game. It's not like I do this every time, but in most titles I try to come up with something unique as a concept and throw it at the team and have them run with it. That kind of spreads like a wildfire, and then people on the team come up with new ideas based on that concept." — Eiji Aonuma

In other words Waypoint should GTFO with their drivel and nonsense.

They have such 1 dimensional thinking when it comes to politics. Because THEY inject politics into everything, they think if you take that away, the original thing will be basically nothing.

Yeah, their basic argument boils down to opportunity costs. Your game could have a political message, so if it doesn't, it is tacitly helping the other side by not advocating against it.

The problem with adopting this argument is that it would then extend to everything. Anything you do that is not furthering the cause is tacitly supporting the opposition by not supporting the cause. By this logic, when I go play tennis with my son instead of writing letters to my senators, I'm making a political decision to not write them, or to not march in the streets today. When excelsiorlef watches WWE, she's making a political decision to support the opposition by not using that time to instead donate money to supporters of the cause.

It's a ridiculous standard. Yes, things can omit supporting your cause. They can be apolitical. The fact that you're bothered that I don't want to spend all my free time engaged in politics doesn't make it a political decision. It just makes you obsessive.

We will win. Hate will lose.

It's interesting to me that some of the most hateful people I've ever seen consider themselves on the side of love, just because they feel their hate is justified. No, you're still advocating hate, it's just (what you perceive as) justified hate. But hate nonetheless.

There's a Brazilian Twitter profile called "Good Hate" ("Ódio do Bem" in portuguese) that basically posts this contradiction, on how the "right side of history" people are hateful and don't notice that.

Like this lefty girl:



Translation: You that vote for Bolsonaro (right wing candidate for president here) are not women you whores, you should be ashamed, you ugly weird fucks.

It's pretty interesting to watch lol.

That's a good example because excel watching WWE and buying WWE merch SUPPORTS the opposition, as the McMahons donated more than anyone to Trump's campaign and bought a seat in the cabinet in the process.

It's okay though because she's in on the joke.

You know, it took me all of 2 minutes to actually read what the site was about

We can’t criticise herd-like behaviour and be a herd ourselves. That’s why our team of contributors includes people from the Right and Left, for example. We publish both liberal and conservative dispositions; and those who believe in God, from atheists and everything in between. When we produce further reading sections at the end of articles, we’ll link to intelligent commentators, books, TED talks, websites etc etc that take different views to those of the article’s author. You should decide what you think – not us for you.

Here's one of the contributors:
https://unherd.com/author/victoria-bateman/

her wikipedia page says this:

Victoria N. Bateman is a British feminist economist and academic, specialising in macroeconomics and British economic history. She is a fellow in economics at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.[1]

Bateman read economics at Cambridge University, before receiving her masters and doctorate degrees from Oxford. She is known for her naked protest against the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, (Brexit).[2][3] She is an advocate of the recognition by economists of the economic value of the sex trade and the right of women to earn their living by prostitution.[4][5] She famously posed nude for a life size portrait by Anthony Connolly.[6]

You may be wondering what on earth is feminist economics?

Feminist economics is the critical study of economics including its methodology, epistemology, history and empirical research, attempting to overcome alleged androcentric (male and patriarchal) biases

Needless to say, the site does not seem like your typical Alt-Right conservative propaganda site to me. lol
