[QUOTE="Grendel_Khan, post: 8320914, member: 7028554"] The notion that the hateful and regressive segments of society are somehow on the run is a lovely fantasy, but in countries throughout the world it's just not true. In the U.S. progressives are in the fight of our lives against these elements, who are increasingly anti-democracy and intent on restricting future elections. Hungary just passed a law prohibiting sharing content with minors that shows anyone who's gay or trans. The list goes on. What you're saying is reminiscent of the legions of folks who claimed that racism was over, before video of Floyd's death triggered a massive wake-up call. Or the people who still say that, or who point to the fact that certain kinds of discrimination are illegal as evidence that everything's wrapped up, and now it's just a matter of time. I'm truly not saying you're echoing racists or anything of the ugly sort, just that..this is not over. None of it is. Not even in the slightest. But also re: letting our wallets speak for us, the only reason you know to let your wallet speak for you is because of people getting angry and saying angry things about this situation. I don't get the urge to tell everyone to calm down about...talking about things. Even yelling about things. This is just how society works. We yell, and you don't have to, but also without someone yelling no one is ever going to pay enough attention to simply vote/speak with their wallets (or at the ballots). EDIT: I realize this post is careening head-on into politics, but I thought it was important framing for the idea of "letting our wallets speak for us"--that's an idea that's super relevant to the thread and its larger discussion of the gaming industry, but also one that's inherently political.
