IGN recently published a piece criticizing the unreleased Six Days in Fallujah because a very specific clique in the gaming sphere is upset it doesn’t have the "right" politics. We talk about critics’ reactions to the upcoming game along with Kotaku calling passionate Dying Light 2 fans “toxic,” woke Twitter crying over a jiggle physics mod for Super Smash Bros., Super Seducer 3 being outright banned from Steam, and White Wizard Games changing their name to placate outrage mobs.

Troy Leavitt has revealed why he left the development of Hogwarts Legacy. We discuss his response to the games press’s attempted character assassination along with other examples of “propaganda press,” including Kotaku’s piece about developers being forced to work during a natural disaster and Polygon implying Six Days in Fallujah is apolitical.

Troy Leavitt, a Hogwarts Legacy developer who has made YouTube videos critical of woke nonsense, announced he is leaving the project after games journalists’ attempt to cancel him. Leavitt hasn’t unveiled why he quit, but we discuss the development along with the fact Hogwarts Legacy will include trans options in its character creator, Twitch’s screw up calling women “womxn,” Attack on Titan being falsely labeled as pro-fascism, and Sucker Punch being honored by Japan for Ghost of Tsushima.

Troy Leavitt, the lead designer of the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy, is being accused of sexism and other nastiness all for having a YouTube channel that doesn’t toe the woke line games journalists demand the industry follow. We discuss the attempt to cancel developers over “thoughtcrimes” along with the hypocrisy of women, such as Anita Sarkeesian, who claim to oppose harassment, Sony’s censorship of violence, Super Seducer 3 being rejected from Steam, Pyra and Mythra being covered in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Jezebel not knowing anything about video games, Colin Moriarty still suffering consequences of his innocent dad joke, and more.

Gina Carano, known for playing Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, has been fired from her role and agency. Her crime? Comparing her political opponents to Nazis, something the left has been doing without consequence for years. We break down this story and all its juicy details and rehash the Mass Effect butt shot controversy and talk Steam’s censorship of Super Seducer 3.

Game journalists this week were quick to shame Mass Effect fans who are upset the upcoming trilogy remake will remove camera angles that focus on Miranda’s butt. We discuss the double standard the gaming industry has when it comes to sexualization (see: Jin Sakai’s celebrated naked cheeks in Ghost of Tsushima), Stephen Totilo’s departure from Kotaku, IGN rehashing the Rowling transphobia controversy, The Gamer complaining about fat shaming in Resident Evil Village, the backfire of The Medium’s trigger warning, and hypocrisy about the term “blind playthrough.”

GameStop stocks are on the fritz after Wall Street manipulated the market, and, like always, GamerGate is being blamed. We discuss the stock situation and also talk about Ninja’s stance on streaming with women and teaching viewers about racism, the representation of trans people and women in Cyberpunk 2077 (again), Twitch’s policies that protect some while leaving room to attack white men, Ubisoft calling chicks “womxn,” and more.

A games journalist stirred up controversy this week when she made the laughable claim that men don’t like playing as female characters, using some of the most popular video game franchises as examples. We discuss the very predictable fallout from this strawman in addition to people overreacting to making Cyberpunk 2077 characters romanceable, New York Times reporting on screen addiction, a Mortal Kombat 11 competitor being banned over nothing, an Italian board game developer being canceled over out-of-context comments, and more.

After removing its most popular emote from the site, Twitch announced a different streamer would become the new PogChamp each day. Three days into this policy, Critical Bard was PogChamp and landed in hot water for his questionable comments on race. We discuss Twitch’s double standards along with the irony of Capcom cracking down on “questionable” fan content, CD Projekt Red’s leadership taking the blame for the Cyberpunk 2077 mess, IGN’s leading interview questions about the game’s launch, Polygon’s and Kotaku’s latest terrible articles, and more.

The narrative has jumped from “video games cause violence” to “video games cause fascism” as the riots at Capitol Hill are being blamed on gamers. We discuss why this is a ludicrous idea along with the other game-related fallout from the riots, plus Kotaku’s “gamers” of the year and the push to censor Top Hat Studios’ Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story.
