One thing I hate about those men is they think they have depression and alienation and shit, but they LIGHT UP LIKE A CHILD ON CHRISTMAS MORNING for a “new thing is WOKE” thread, everytime. They are not depressed, they are rationally consistent with their beliefs, which is living a life of being miserable all the time. It’s not depression it’s a natural outcome of bad values and morals!
When Shaun did that deep dive on anti-woke gamer slop content creators a couple years back, he had an observation that a lot of them don’t seem to actually enjoy playing video games nor play them that much. He theorized, and I’ve seen this argument in other places, that they and their audiences’ tastes changed as they got older and they’re just not into video games anymore. But rather than accept this, they try to find some boogeyman.
I think that ties into what you’re saying about them having bad morals/values. They’re using the anti-woke outrage to avoid self-evaluation and criticism, especially that uncomfortable acknowledgement that the media they consumed as a child wasn’t as transcendent and perfect as they remember, they were just inexperienced and impressionable at that age.
