The death of woke games and movies

Ubisoft has been compared to an all you can eat oatmeal buffet. They have not been able to create new game play for a very long time.

They have been creating new background and story, new art content. Which new content has gradually become not plot, story, and character development, but has, like Hollywood movies, become insulting and hostile attacks on their audience, which amount to “You are scum, shut up and listen to your betters”, as for example “Star Wars Outlaws”, and Warner Brothers’ “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League”

Not long after Trump was elected, the “Gears of War” producer announced that attacking your customer is a bad idea.

“Everybody knows its over. Everybody except you. When people ask me why triple A games are in trouble, this is it. Because they are not reflecting on what they could do better. Instead they are attacking the people they want to sell their games to. It is not a winning strategy.”

It is over. The woke priesthood are about to be fired from gaming. They don’t know it yet, because they are the last to know.

Her language is rather bland, boring, and excessively lengthy, but decoded, this an insider announcing a purge is coming. She is unable to say “Patronising and condemnatory woke lectures in place of story, plot, character, and worldbuilding”. But she can say “only a few people are causing this divisiveness” and that those people are going to be eliminated. So, not toxic fans at fault, but a toxic woke priesthood. Firing the fans has clearly been counterproductive. Firing the woke priesthood is feasible, and, from the inside, she tells us it is going to be done. She is able to tell us that the people who are causing this divisiveness and hostility are divisive and hostile employees, and that game companies should listen to the people those employees are calling “a tiny toxic minority”. The people who are calling their customers a tiny minority of toxic nazi bigoted nazi homophobe nazi hateful nazi mysogynist nazi racist nazis are the tiny toxic minority. She is unable to name the woke priesthood, but it is perfectly clear what tiny toxic minority she is referring to. The bubble in the title of her channel is not the money bubble that quasi governmental investment organisations have been pouring freshly printed money over the industry to create woke games. Rather it is the intellectual bubble, the echo chamber, caused by refusal to hear anyone who has any contact with actual reality. The refusal to listen.

But this is likely to be far harder than she thinks. You have to take a gun to a gunfight and a faith to a holy war. You need to remove a bunch of holy warriors, and you are going to need your own holy warriors. When your vice president in charge of purging woke wants to fire a man for incompetence, negligence, lying, stealing, and disruption of the workplace, that man is going to make it all about the fact that he is wearing a dress, black, and gay. So you just have to be able to fire people for being black, gay, and coming to work wearing drag. You need someone running the purge of the Woke mind virus who is cheerfully immune to being called a racist, sexist, and homophobic, and to women coming out of the woodwork claiming they were sexually assaulted thirty years ago.

The DEI takeover automatically leads to a purge of anyone who knows stuff and is in a position to teach people stuff, because they think the only thing that anyone should know is fifty seven new pronouns, and view all other forms of knowledge as colonialism, imperialism, racism, homophobia, and sexism. Observe how the people making Star Wars do not know Star Wars, and Ubisoft mangled Japanese culture. If you are producing a game set in old Japan, you might want to know something about old Japan, and how it is represented and depicted in Japanese culture. They don’t just see the tech priesthood as a competing priesthood, they see everything as a competing priesthood. They want to erase the past — Cathedrals and knowing how to run a chip fab all.

Of late Hollywood has become shy about attacking its audience right at the start. In 2024, we started seeing series, in which episodes one and two had a “diverse” cast, but sounded like story and plot was being developed, and, apart from the obnoxious, evil, and hateful girl boss whom we were supposed to like, were OK, and then episode three abandons story, plot, and character arc, and becomes a full on attack on the audience, as in “The Acolyte” becoming “Lesbian Witches in Space” in the third episode, whereupon the audience switched off. Or, like the children’s show “Skeleton Crew”, starts with a girl boss, a black, a mutt, and a token white male having a jolly good children’s adventure in the Star Wars universe. Apart from the obnoxious girl boss who thoroughly needed a good old fashioned thrashing, not too bad, reasonably enjoyable for everyone, and more enjoyable for kids, and then in episode three, it chucks the story, character, plot and Star Wars universe aside to groom your children, revealing that the major objective of the woke priesthood is to fuck your children. Whereupon the audience switched off. Kids can smell that they are being groomed, and don’t like it, even though they cannot articulate what they do not like, nor why.

Hollywood, and the woke at priesthood at Ubisoft, were and are extremely bitter and angry about this restraint imposed on them by management, which restraint amounts to “suck the audience in first, and then you can start lecturing them on how disgusting and hateful they are and make them suffer”.

But Laura Fryer tell us that very soon they will be unemployed, rather than merely under restraint. It will take more than she dares imagine to purge the woke priesthood, but the intent to purge is there.

Lately we have seen movies, notably Deadpool and Wolverine, in which the woke were rather more severely restrained. Far too many gay jokes, but the jokes did not actually celebrate, or even normalise, gay. Plus Hollywood and the games industry is facing competition from upstarts who have not allowed takeover by the Woke priesthood, notably “Godzilla minus One”.

Apart from having an actual plot, story, characters and character development, “Godzilla minus One” had good special effects. A Godzilla movie is primarily special effects. Being free from the woke priesthood, was able to produce non DEI special effects, which cost it less than a tenth the cost of special effects created by Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive staffing, and were far better than those special effects. Similar to the fact that Musk can make electric cars, and traditional car makers cannot. Anything that is technologically difficult, you just cannot make unless you are willing to be racist, sexist, and heteronormative. Which is why America’s aircraft production industry has shut down, and European cars are getting worse and more expensive. Similarly the world of Black Myth Wukong is just far richer than the Ubisoft game worlds, which cost vastly more money.

The American gaming industry is being wiped by Chinese games, such as Marvel Rivals and Black Myth Wukong who do not suffer from the Woke priesthood. Marvel Rivals is a Chinese take on the Marvel IP they purchased. Black Myth Wukong is Chinese IP. The American video game industry is dying, Americans are playing Chinese made games, and to a lesser extent, Japanese made games. Twenty four thousand game developers have lost their jobs and a lot more are about to lose theirs, though I suspect that the only reason that such a huge number of game developers were employed in the first place was that the government was pouring freshly printed money through quasi governmental, nominally private, investment funds over the games industry in an effort to change the culture.

Marvel Rivals, having purchased the right to use Marvel comic IP from Disney, proceeded to recreate the original comic book heroes that Marvel has been pissing on for years to hurt and humiliate their customers. I think when Disney sold them the right to use the IP, Disney thought it would only matter in China. Disney did not think that Marvel would be displaced and rendered irrelevant within America. Notice that names often reflect real objectives. “Suicide Squad killed the Justice League” is a game motivated by hatred of the Justice League IP, and hatred of the Justice League fandom, motivated by desire to hurt them and make them suffer. “Marvel Rivals” is a game motivated by intent to overshadow the company from whom they purchased the IP.

Marvel Rivals, a made in China game that has a license to use the old Marvel Comics IP, now has twenty million players, showing that there was and is immense demand for live service multiplayer hero shooters. Demand previously unfulfilled because every major US company delivered what they billed as a live service multiplayer hero shooter, and perhaps believed to be a live service multiplayer hero shooter, but was in fact a patronising lecture and a no holds barred venomous, hateful, spiteful attack upon the players, the player demographic, the IP of the game, and fanbase of the IP. The Woke priesthood does not just hate the fact that heroes tend to be white and male. They hate heroes, hate story, hate fun, hate beauty. They hate existence itself and life itself. So they naturally hated the IP, as was obvious in “Suicide Squad killed the IP”. Marvel Rivals shows that the IP lives and the fans hungered for it.

The story line of Black Myth Wukong is all about the primary character seeking truth and freedom, which he attains in the hidden ending, but loses in the deceptive trap ending. Which is interesting to see in a game coming out of “Communist” China, and interesting to see lacking in any game or movie coming out of the Globohomo empire.

Movies for girls should be about seeking truth and love, as for example the original Cinderella, which we are not seeing anywhere. Not here and not in the Chinese Hegemony Yet.
