Wife and I were worn out from a month of insanity, and wanted a way to wind down together. We thought "Hey, we used to LOVE the show Survivor! Let's check it out!"
So we sign up for Paramount+ to get our Survivor on!
Didn't even make it through the first episode. First off like a 3rd of the people are "Medical personnel" in some way shape or form so you know that means they are going to play up the clot shot.
Then they have multiple queer/gay characters which is not all that surprising, but this one guy has his sob story about missing his adopted daughter while his transgender pregnant husband works full-time.
Then the host asks "for 20 years, i've been saying 'come on in guys' is it time to retire that because of the word guys?" And the answer is YES!
The guy who said yes we should drop the word "guys" is like "survivor has changed so much in twenty years, now theres black and brown and LGBT people playing..." LITERALLY THE FIRST WINNER OF SURVIVOR WAS GAY!
I just...
We didn't finish the episode and cancelled paramount plus.
I watched the game awards a few nights ago. Everyone knows the developers are some of the worst, left leaning liberal people out there now. The pandering is what frustrated me while watching it. The zoom in on the crowd only showing people of color, or trans/gay people with pride buttons or flags on their lapel. In between awards, they had mini shorts with content creators for gaming and the first one was 2 men that dress in drag and stream on twitch. Later in the show they demonstrated “black voices” podcast which isn’t even gaming? The game “death loop” won an award, and sure enough the guy receiving the award was French Canadian and by his side was a male to female trans with the trans flag 🏳️⚧️.
The kicker of it all was throughout the entire show, they kept phrasing “it’s so glad to be back this year... IN PERSON!!!!” Yet all masked, 10 feet apart. Fuck. Rant over.
lol the modern gaming industry is already dead and they just don't know it yet.
