Like many things, people hate it because of its associations with other things. They will happily throw it out even if it has good uses. Here have some spicy examples:
Some people experience gender dysphoria and may benefit from medical intervention? Nah it got abused by ideological idiots so it must always be bad. Karl Marx says workers must arm themselves? Nah guns are bad, I know this because rightoids like them.
My Steam Deck plays a lot of games, more than I even expected it to. Honestly I’m not sure where this “iffy library” crap comes from.
mansplaining is a made-up idea lol
Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.
As a man I’ve been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I’m not sure where you’re getting this from.
I still strongly dislike limiting cosmetics so much, especially in a setting where they can mean so much. Darktide’s $20 skins pissed me right off: role-playing is 100% part of the game and that price is absurd.
Here in Canada I’ve seen much the same behaviour for both Liberal and Conservative voters. “I vote Liberal because I’ve always voted Liberal” is a surprisingly common statement especially among the older generations, and to a small extent even the Green party has a few loyalists in BC.
Always voting the same way no matter what happens is just giving your vote away for free.
It doesn’t help that the Rust community tends to bring extremely divisive politics with it in places and ways that just don’t need to happen, starting battles that aren’t even tangentially related to programming.
I’m not buying this game at launch but could be convinced to do so after private servers come out.
The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft…
Honestly anti-cheat is dead going forward because much of the new cheats being developed exist hardware powered by machine learning. Competitive multiplayer is already just a shambling corpse, but somehow people haven’t caught on yet.
Make sure to add mandatory EGS accounts later.
Incidentally we need to be poisoning ALL data brokers and collectors for these types of things.

Rightoids: we need to boost our population
Also rightoids: best we can do is make abortion illegal and encourage teen pregnancy
Don’t live in fear of or apologize to the lemmygrad assholes, speak your piece.
muh wealthiest nation, you should be proud to be American, etc…
It was a shock to my system to hear Americans setting aside 10k+ for delivering a child. What the fuck? For a country that claims it wants kids it sure as hell doesn’t act like it.
Here is the Canadian version: you go to the hospital, you deliver, you get the after care, then you go home. Cost to you: $0 (unless you came in an ambulance, then expect somewhere between $150-400?)
God forbid you do something crazy like intend for humanity to have a future. Fucking wild man, who does that?
Man anti-natalists are a special breed of crazy.
Yeah can’t blame the ladies for that one, if I were a woman I’d be mighty tempted to seal up my womb too.
Interestingly this is actually how a lot of men feel about their own procreation. You’re one broken condom away from being beholden to an unwanted child and a selfish mother. It can ruin your life before you’ve even had a chance to start. Hell teenage boys raped by older women have had to pay child support.
I’d love to see this lead into a useful conversation about the rights of both sexes but it has been pretty one-sided so far.
You don’t tell the fucking UN to evacuate because you want to attack someone.
