When did the "activist" game developer mindset start?
Most strange phenomena can be pinned down to a single date or title, such as the first game to feature a turrent section, or the first game to feature quick-time events (I'm glad those two features are gone). So, what was the first game where the developers had a "activist" mindset, where they didn't care about their customers at all and actively fought against them brazenly. When did this terrible, narcissistic mindset start, and what's the first game to be plagued by it?

I can pinpoint such a mindset with movies, with Ghostbusters 2016. That was the first movie I saw where the director, the actors, and even the studio funding it actively went against the customers and fought against them so openly. It was pretty weird, which made it satisfying when the movie flopped and it sequel was cancelled.

But what about games? What was the first game to be plagued with the "activist" mindset that ruined it?

You know that is a logical fallacy, right? You made the claim. The burden is on you to prove it, not on me to prove you wrong.
I think the argument they are making is pretty simple. You could never prove intent, which is the key to determining activism or normal art. You said there is a difference. Well, you can never actually know the difference.
Actually, you can. It has already been shown, and it is quite simple. While it might be hard to prove internalized intent, when their is an outside mandate, basically forcing preemptive censorship, then it become insanely easy to prove.

Hell, XBOX even has a list in writing, and even though they claim it is not a mandate, the heavily encourage it.
I don't have time to read through every single post,

but since it's probably mostly people under 30 peddling their idea of what they 'think' is right,

(and most people of any age would have no real idea of what's going on..),


I thought I'd put in the actual answer here for the opening poster who seems earnest in his question...



The (actual) 'answer' to your question is around 1950,



around 1950 the process of 'the End of the World' was begun,


(I forget the exact date) but the 'big event' that made sure the world was being told was the first (supposed first) Nuclear Bomb test at that Island of "Bikini",


note the Oppenheimer saying, "I have become Death, I have become the Destroyer of Worlds"


That process was expected because they (yes, 'they'), told you all about this plan about 5-6000 years ago.


All these 'agendas' and 'woke' stuff you are looking at is nothing more than psychological manipulation (AND a 'warning') to turn your mind 'upside-down',

this process of everything going in 'reverse' is otherwise known as 'Satanism' which is just a play off Shaitan which means 'opposition'.

To keep this post short (people spend their whole lives trying to figure this out and never put the pieces together)

-- is you're looking at the process of the destruction of the world as you know it.


- The world functions on 'Ages' (Eons, whatever you want to call them),

Age of Pisces, Aries, etc,


Every age lasts 2500 years,

Every age is given a 'religion' (myth, whatever you want to call it) that defines that 'Age',

(most recently it was Christanity with Judaism before that etc)


- Ages are important because each age has it's 'way' of being that helps evolve humanity,

it's like being a baby, toddler, teenager, etc,

Each one is important to your 'total growth',

but, each one has to end to make way for your 'new' self as you grow and develop.


Every prior Age had to be nearly wiped out to make way for a 'new' one.


You "cannot put new wine into old wine skins".


That phrase means people who think in the 'old' age cannot be put into a 'New Age' way of thinking.


There is also the aspect of population growth,

the genius of the people who control the world is that they tie the ages and people's thinking into the whole issue of population growth,


Population growth also necessitates wiping out huge amounts of people.


Every age 'cycles' through a 'start', where people are ready to take on a 'new world' (just like the founding of america etc),

they work hard, are industrious, follow solid moral codes of conduct etc (strong 'religious' foundation),

and build houses, work jobs, maintain families etc.


The problem is people tend to be insolent and selfish.


They do all that good stuff, but what ends up happening?

Their kids take it for granted,


start becoming corrupt.


People reproduce a lot, but the wisdom doesn't.


Eventually the kids start taking things for granted, they play and party more and think their parents 'preaching' and 'moralizing' is silly and stupid.

They become decadent and soft.


That lays the groundwork for the manipulation that always comes at the 'End' of an Age - the 'End Times'.


Every religion, including the one given to you around 5000 years ago, foretells of the 'end of the world',

because every age is supposed to end.


You are now living through the 'End of the World'.


That 'ending' process means 'ending' everything, everything that was used to push and construct the 'age',

gets removed or reversed.


This removal (such as removing all 'morals' and standards that were considered 'normal') and reversal process is what 'ends' an age --

and acts as 'forewarning' to bigger possibly 'cataclysmic' events.


In the most recent religion in it's book you see things like 'men will become women and women men',


people make fun of that but unfortunately people aren't that logical, if they were they would understand things like this,

your parents ate soup with spoons and meat with forks,

common sense right?

Well imagine people coming around and starting to tell you that no,

"You shouldn't eat meat with forks and soup with spoons".



Most would think that was ridiculous and not listen to them,

but imagine they had the funding to make movies, books, podcasts and whatever else,

to use the best looking most popular actors and models and tell you again,

"No, you shouldn't eat soup with spoons and meat with forks because if you do you're a bad person who's attacking other people who do and you are evil if you do that and you shouldn't hurt other people."


Believe it or not there are people who will believe that.


This analogy is important, because you actually need to visualize it and see the 'end result',

what if people started believing that?

What would happen is people would start dying, because they would start starving to death,

because if anybody tries doing it you would quickly see (obviously there are exceptions) but basically you can't eat soups with forks and meat with spoons.


When thing go in 'reverse' things stop working.


The symbol of Satanism is the same Star but upside down, Summer is a star upwards Winter is a star Downwards,


The point is that when things are 'reversed' then death and destruction take over,

it is a cycle and all esoteric adepts understand this,

this isn't about 'evil' per say it's about understanding how things work, whether you're talking about biology or electricity or anything else common sense.

The difference between the people ruling the Earth and most other people is that they actually have the 'job' of herding the masses (that's you and most people in this thread),


the masses need psychological manpulation to keep them 'evolving',

and I put 'evolving' in quotes because sometimes humanities 'evolution' means wiping out most people.


This 'end of the age' process simply involves reversing everything so that the more foolish people believe it and act as their own self-eliminators.

In doing that the population collapses (as what you're seeing now, literally, what else do you expect when females are made to fear males and genders are confused and nobody is getting married etc etc - mostly because most people fell for the thick and heavy propaganda in the media -- which was all by design),

and with that poppulation collapse the way is open for a 'New' type of human to come.


Now, the trick here is though, that this is the FINAL age,

and now we're not just talking about population 'collapse' and 'regrowth',


but actually about people becoming eternal slaves to those 'elite' who consider themselves 'Gods'.


This 'last age' is a "Final Battle" that will determine who will become 'Gods' and who will become their 'slaves' for eternity.



The point, if it wasn't obvious a bit earlier in the post, is that this 'woke' stuff started around 1950,

with the process of 'inversion' of everything (turning 'good' into 'bad'),

as is normal as per every 'end of the age' (it's Pisces now going into Aquarius),

which requires a new way of thinking,

which means eliminating old world people and bringing in new types.



Everything in this post can be verified by literally looking at almost every game, book, movie and religious (or otherwise) text ever made.

These 'elite' people running the show are constantly telling everyone this,

but most people are so 'blind' they cannot even see what they are being told at all times around them.


One of the facets of being 'the elite' ruling is knowing how to control everything while making yourself 'invisible'.


The reason the media is called 'the media' is from the word 'median' - the middle.

The media is the middle ground between the masses and elite.


Most people 10 years ago would've said this post was crazy etc,

Yet now everyone knows there are 'Embracer' groups that basically fund gaming and tell the developers what to say and what to do and put into their games --

this is literally that 'control' of the media we are talking about.


A bunch of German people that nobody knows all the sudden has the money to buy out all the gaming companies and developers,

why do you think that is? How are they doing that?


They're doing that with the money the Royalty and Oligarchs have saved over millenia for specific purposes --

to make sure you are getting these messages.


You have to 'discern' and "see".


You are given both propaganda but also deep truths at any given time.


You decide want you want to 'see',

it is that 'choice' you are given at any given time that is the job of the "Illuminati",


your free will is paramount as long as you willingly choose to be blind and make the choices (that can both hurt or help yourself) then they are absolved of any 'wrong-doing' and can continue their plans for humanity.


This Age has to be destroyed for a New Age to come in,


'wokeness' is part of that process,

and it started around the 1950s (with the 'religious text' forewarning of only about 5000 years ago)


(Anyone doubting the timing thing just look up the Masonic, Rosicrucian or Judaic (Hebrew)
current date and year)


------------------

In the standard Blue Lodge of Freemasonry, the current year is 6026 Anno Lucis (A.L.) or "In the Year of Light". This is calculated by simply adding 4,000 to the Gregorian calendar year (2026 + 4000 = 6026).


-----------------

The current date and time in the Hebrew calendar is Saturday, Tammuz 19, 5786.

An outside mandate is just a facade. It can be a lie or a truth and you'd never know. That is just someone telling you what they think. Like I said, you can never actually know or prove what they actually think.

And Frankly, there is only two categories here really. 1. People smart enough to understand all ideas and art influences others is inherently political. Art does not exist in a vacuum after all. Every piece reflects the culture, societal framework, and the artist's personal identity of its time. 2. Those who are not smart enough to understand this basic fact of reality. So basically this is just an IQ test really between the two groups. One with awareness of what they're doing and one without. And it's weird you keep wanting to insist you're in the second group even though I know you're smart enough to technically be a part of the first group.

-- this guy put this post up as I was writing mine,


the interesting thing is he sums up what I was trying to say,

but -without- the self-elimination part,


because what he lacks is the whole 'point' of his conclusion,


that in the 'end' (no pun intended, lol..) is that that 'IQ' ("smartness") difference is what separates those that 'live',

(and pass from one 'Age' to the 'Next'),

from those that get 'self-eliminated',

as was mentioned in my post.


Remember the analogy because it is a lot more literal than people think --


if a person can be made to 'believe' he is supposed to eat soup with a fork and meat with a spoon,

then what happens? -- he starves to death --

he self-eliminates.


Another person will say,

"Listen, I don't know when it become cool and fashionable for my games, books and movies to tell me to eat meat with a spoon and soup with a fork,

but i'm not doing it, what is all this stuff anywyas? when did they start putting these messages of eating meat with a spoon and soup with a fork in my games? I don't like it it's stupid"

- continues to eat meat with a fork and soup with a spoon,

and what happens?


That's right, he survives.


People are looking at a mass-culling event in real time all around them,


this is how it works,


"Only the penitent shall Pass"






Like we said,


everything is told to you at all times,


who can remove their Pride to actually listen, and SEE, to what is happening all around them?
Are you creating playable female characters that are equal in skill and ability to their male peers. "



-- we all know forks are equal to spoons, right?

This is exactly the kind of facade I'm talking about. Do you think Microsoft's higher ups believe any of that mandate? They're all be rich out of touch elites who probably get scared when they see a homeless person. Do you honestly believe they care one bit about anything the younger generations care about? Or are they saying those things because they think it would lead to more success/money?

Corporations never cared about pride month either. They're all psychopaths that will say and do anything that they think makes them more money. They sure love to pretend they care about pride month when June rolls around. Funny how they'll do that and also donate to anti-LGBT politicians. Almost as if they believe in nothing?

Which only seems to matter when minorities are involved.

Seems like you can only make accusations like this without proof, then when asked to support your claim, you ghost the threads.

You are preaching the choir here, my friend.

It is not Humans, like myself and others you have to say this to, it's the close minded normies you need to tell this to.
