Earlier this year and again very recently, I wrote an essay about the development of the video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. One aspect about that essay that I believe will be more essential the any other detail is to recognize not only Expedition 33
Excellent unpacking of the Law of Merited Impossibility in media. The idea that everyone with actual power knows media is a lever but consumers pretend it's apolitical is dead-on. Back when I worked adjacent to game studios, the funding conversations were never "make great art" but always "cultural reach" and "brand alignment." The Expedition 33 case perfectly illustrates how cultural tests becom procedural checkboxes that launder soft power through bureaucracy. What really stuck was the distinction betwen electoral politics and deeper politics of power, that framing clarifies alot of the confusion people have when they say "keep politics out."
Great article. Do you think we're at the end of sjw infused media era because a lot of the free money is drying up?
Embracer is broke for example and had to split, but even in their broken form they still have the sjw compulsion. Assuming they really are broken. I have hope.
There are actually some Christians that have already been saying that God wants us to love homosexuality, transgenderism, and even Critical Race Theory in order to spread the Gospel.
I bought Clair Obscur and have been loving my time playing it, though I have to admit that Jennifer English may have been awarded best actress due to her being a lesbian.

I think we're more aware of the lies than ever before, but the powers that be will try to find sneakier ways of injecting globo homo into everything.
Yeah, the new angle is using the name of the Lord to introduce globo homo.
