Back in the ’80s, when I was a kid, I was a huge fan of Dungeons and Dragons, computers, art, and video games. I remember getting my first computer, the Commodore VIC-20, and spending hours upon hours typing in code just to make anything appear on the screen. Eventually, I got a C64, and the rest was history. Today, there’s nothing better than firing up the PS5 or Xbox and getting lost in a world of fantasy or sci-fi. It’s one of my weekly joys. On a side note, Elden Ringhas been amazing.

That being said, it is very disheartening how the things I loved as a child have now turned into garbage because of the “woke mind virus.”

If you haven’t heard or seen, the gaming industry has become full of woke agenda-pushing employees who are trying to force their beliefs on us by instilling them into games. It pains me that an industry I love and grew up with now seems to hate me and my beliefs. It hurts even more to see that these individuals, despite their incredible talent in art and design, use their skills for such divisive purposes.

Below are a few X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube posts about a major battle happening in the industry. Here’s a quick update if you’re unfamiliar:

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard is pushing transgender themes and pronouns throughout the game.
• Obsidian’s art lead, Matt Hansen, for the upcoming game Avowed, has openly stated that he will never hire white men.
• Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast are attempting to remove or distance themselves from Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons.
