“I don’t know why therapy is a real thing. Every time I go for an “inkblot” test, they just show me pictures of my parents fucking for hours at a time, and I think that’s NOT cool. Anyway, here’s why this video game is woke and I hate it…”

That said this kind of marketing and signaling is NOT going to produce demographic growth, it just invites the kind of audiences niche struggling franchises should avoid.

They literally all have the word “man” in their name, except for Splash Woman.
