DEI in Video Games Finally Noticed by Normie Media…


Mainstream media is only now covering DEI in video games, with the New York Post reporting on the issue. Gamers have been fighting against DEI efforts for years, facing attacks from media outlets like Kotaku, Polygon, and Washington Post for pushing back against DEI-focused games.

DEI initiatives in video games have led to colossal failures, with gamers rejecting high-profile AAA titles and not buying games featuring non-binary characters and “they/them” pronouns.

DEI advocates have been given hundreds of millions of dollars to make games, securing cushy jobs at game companies without prior work experience, using academic terminology to turn the industry into a safe space.

The video game industry, with a market of 212 million US players spending 3-7 hours per week gaming, is seen as a perfect platform for DEI to flourish, potentially serving as a gateway to far-left ideologies.
