There was a guy called zeb89 in my country, and he organized a protest against Call Of Duty (a videogame).
COD was famously designed under the guiding philosophy of the "self-esteem movement" which is a precursor to the SJWs of today.
Self esteem movement used guidelines and principles based on the old theory of egalitarianism. Every player should be equally affirmed, regardless of skill aim or your reflexes or your situational awareness or your experience.
Health regeneration rewards patience and emotional regulation: simply remain still for a moment allows health bar go up. The game was also studied by behavior economists with the express purpose of teaching economy to kids using microtransactions.
Weapon scarcity limits complexity, which constraints weapon choices. Agency is the enemy of egalitarianism, because in games where you have 12 weapons, the best most skilled players dominate the field.
Combat dynamics in COD reflects deep philosophical commitments of the authors of the game. Time-to-kill is so short that exchanges of fire are discouraged in favor of rapid consensus outcomes. Firefights, after all, risk introducing competitive hierarchy, which would be contrary to the egalitarian spirit.
Maps are also designed around egalitarianism, where flat, low-verticality environments ensure that no player can rise above another, literally or metaphorically, and is all designed to favor the snipers also called "campers".
So we were 45 doing a protest against it. In our days, we were minority. All normies said that call of duty is the future of "realism" and a buzzword they used was "tactical". They said shit games lik counter strike, call of duty or battlefield are merely "tactical".
We saw the ideology, we read the papers, we knew of the self esteem movement. Later, it became a battle against "the SJW". We knew it was simply an evolution of the old self esteem movement. Call of duty was our problem, we done protests, it was fun. We were more than the amount of people at propalestine, we were loser nerds.
other than this adventure with a youtuber, I didnt do anything else. The rest of the youtubers do not interest me.
