  1. With your point on wokeness in gaming (and media at large) I think there has to something taken into consideration, the cost of money. Games, advertisements, television shows and movies are all made via banking. Every game studio, marketing firm, TV channel and movie studio gets loans from a bank to make a product. Go back two years. What are the interest rates? Fed rate is 0. 25%. That means a lot of these things were being made at near free money. This goes back to 2008. So for this entire period you see a slow boil that steadily increases right up to 2020 where things go nuclear. Why? The lock downs. This was used as a thing to distract attention. But the true believers dont understand that they were once again just useful idiots to further a more central cause. But now that make in the woke group are turning to bite the hands that fed them and the costs of feeding them, via interest rates has gone up, they are no longer a useful and expedient tool. They will be cast aside and ridiculed, the the anarchist left, until the next time they are needed for some societal anarchy to push whatever new agenda is needed to "progress". But those games you were talking about that went woke and did ok, well they were all panned by gamers. None of them did as good as their predecessors. And thats why you are seeing studio after studio closing. So far in the last few months gaming studios around the US and Canada have fire close to 10k people. The truth is the gaming industry cannot afford to be woke anymore. It was always a luxury pushed by Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street.

  2. I would argue that wokeness is funded, you use the word supported but really they are the same thing, by taxpayers via universities and by earners who put their income into 401ks and IRAs run by the likes to Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. That money then gets lent out via shadow lending mechanisms or used to purchase shares of stocks in companies that support wokeness. Shadow lending or banking, is completely unregulated and few if anyone actually tracts where the money goes.
