all of this reactionary #GTA hate on Fedi today is so revealing.
it becomes very obvious who the genuine good-faith progressives are, and who the people are that think that 'progressive' meas 'being contrarian against anything popular for the sake of it'.
I'm obviously not trying to say that not enjoying GTA is somehow problematic lol. You're allowed to dislike any game of course.
But I am saying that it's very obvious that a lot of people on my timeline today don't even have an opinion on things other than 'whatever is popular is for primitive stupid icky cis guys lol ew'.
They don't even care about GTA itself, they just want to butt in on a day everyone else is excited for something, to loudly signal that they're superior to all those 'normies' and they are definitely immune to and intellectually above pop culture.
Not even to mention that actual harassment thrown at people who say they like the GTA series or they're looking forward to GTA VI? that's so ridiculous.
wow yeah you're so progressive and cool for insulting (and misgendering) GTA fans as 'mindless dudebros who are too stupid to play real games', have a cookie.
I loved the GTA series, I grew up with it, it was a big part of my teens, it was an autistic special interest of mine back then (I was a big gta wiki contributor for example) and I am somewhat looking forward to the new title too. Sue me I guess
Why exactly do I then need my mutuals to randomly ridicule, insult and meme on me and my harmless hobbies all across my timeline? you're just harassing people for their interests
