Gamers Are Culture War Test Subjects, Speech Policing Escalates

Fri, 28 Dec 2018

Description

Gamers Are Test Subjects In The Culture War, Speech Policing Escalates after Blizzard announced you would have to tie your gaming account to a separate platform if you wanted to chat. This opens gamers up to the risk that if they say bad things they could have their games revoked. Far left activist types push for ideology in gaming and esports which results in formerly apolitical people becoming active against these ideas. But why is it always gaming and where are those on the Left speaking out against this terrifying authoritarian push? Previously we saw Overwatch league crackdown on "pepe memes" which is downright strange. It seems like the Culture war is someone personal and there are people targeting gaming culture for malicious reasons. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.
