Of course they hate gaming... It used to be a beacon of free speech. It was like /b/... sure, there was ridiculous shitposting for a joke where nothing was off limits from race to religions - but, there was also a soapbox where anyone who wanted to stand on it and decree something could have a voice the public would hear.
Like, i'm just saying...open lobbies on modern games are an opportunity for someone to say something that would be suppressed on a regular medium.
TPTB can't have things like that.
video games became a branch of the internet, and just look how the internet changed from message board eras to todays Facebook AI grounding you for using naughty words.
(not to mention games themselves can deliver very strong messages and rhetoric if the developers and etc have that intention.)
like, call of duty even uses the AI babysitter to punish people for bad language....CALL OF DUTY. The old lobbies on that game many years ago were the most ruthless moshpit ever, now you cant even talk trash. it's ridiculous lol. But - it also shows you that someones always watching...if its not an actual person it's AI. but, there's eyes on every conversation.

There is almost no way to joke about what they’re going to do before they do it, anymore.
Gotta feel sorry for Babylon bee.
