      I have pictures exposing the Game awards shadow banning people for typing “Wukong”
      I had 2 accounts open, one on my phone second on my pc
      My messages used to show on pc when i type anything on my phone, but then i wrote
      “The king kong Black Myth Wukong is the Goat”
      Then i waited a bit ,and when i wrote again in chat my messages stop appearing on MY PC!!!!
      And i have pictures backing up my claim that they shadow ban people for typing Wukong

      A Dragon Age fan (All 3 games) or are you a DAO was the only great one fan?
      Veilguard is definintely flawed and lacking in many aspects regarding the depth of the world as we know it.
      However it is still very much an enjoyable game. Id give it a 7 out of 10 as a game. A 6 /10 for a DA game.

I might give Veilguard a try some day when I can buy it for $15 or cheaper.

      That's every left-wing argument. Same thing in international politics. The pro-war-with-Russia crazies will say "Russia is losing, they can't even beat one poor country after 1000 days of war, and half their cities have no indoor plumbing. They're pathetic." one minute, and then two seconds later they say "We have to stop Russian aggression now in Ukraine, or their massive armies will sweep all the way to the English Channel and conquer all of Europe in a matter of weeks. We can't afford to delay because they are too dangerous and powerful to ignore!" Their arguments cancel themselves out, sometimes in the same sentence.
      They can't ever just say what they really mean, because they basically hate you and they hate everything you like, and they want to destroy everything you like simply because you like it, and they don't want you to have anything nice. They'll take over every game, movie, tV show, board game, card game, RP game, franchise, and burn it to the ground because you liked it, and they hate you liking things. The loss of $400 million of other people's money means nothing to them. It ain't their money.

    Here's the thing - when I hear Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the first thing I think of is 'gendermancer'. They didn't push features. They didn't push story. They pushed the sexual (dis)orientation of the people making the game. Top scars. The game has top scars! Sure, I can be burned, frozen, poisoned, and have my body eaten away by acid and still be cured with magic, but top scars can't be fixed. It's in there for no other purpose than to show they can. If you identify as a female, then in an RPG play a female not as a man who wants to be a woman playing a man who wants to be a woman.
    I didn't buy the game and don't plan to buy the game because, instead of focusing on telling me why I should buy the game, they focused on virtue signaling. It's like trying to sell me on a new car because the guy who designed it likes blondes with big boobs. Has nothing to do with the product at all and makes me wonder why they won't talk about the game itself. Maybe, instead of scaring the marketing people into hiring SBI, you should be giving them a clue as to how to market products to customers.
    In other words - it's Bioware's fault, not the streamers, because of what they focused on promoting in the game.

    Like your vids! Also.. he's partly right: It was their own trailers of the character creators that set the doubt, but watching let's plays that sealed the deal of no buy. As a female gamer, I'm incensed we somehow went from KQ4's Princess Rosella (1988) and Nancy Drew to.. "oop, sorry, you can't have a feminine char because reasons!" And hard to see it as anything other than intentional and malicious since the damn sliders are ON THE CREATOR!! I'll deal with "manspreading," a swagger, DAI's horrible hair options.. being forced to eat garbage and smile because "inclusion" and "well.. at least I got to pick my pronouns" is a bridge much to far. (and 'there might be 3 guys having alone time with their char because they don't know how to search porn' doesn't work for me: it's single player. Let them)
    So Yeah.. I contributed. And if they put out another game that erases my (and 50% of the pop) biological reality, I'll do it again, too. Loved DA.. but not worth letting them run us over. I guess I'm a fascist.. is there a special pin I should wear? =P

While the relationship occurred, it has been thoroughly investigated and found to have no influence on Grayson's journalistic coverage of Quinn's work. The specific accusation was that their connection led to biased promotion of her game, Depression Quest, but Grayson did not review or promote it in any capacity while in a relationship with her."

    Wait, I thought we were such a small vocal minority and the modern audience was all that mattered now?!?! They just can't handle any truth that they do not agree with. Also, the complete lack of self-awareness trying to describe what might happen to Asmongold and other RUclips personalities and completely missing that is what did/is happening to legacy media. The will never stop or correct themselves because they cannot ever admit they could be wrong about anything.

    Nathan Grayson mindset is that if we were just uniformed sheep about the shitty nature of Dragon Age with the trans crap, subpar combat, and shitty story. Then Dragon Age would have gotten better sales.

    Frankly the only review aggregate scores I trust nowadays are the Steam user review/rating scores: a user can't leave a review or thumb up/down unless he has played the game on Steam. Which filters out the brigands/bots/shills.

      @@apharys8921 If you have not put enough time into a game and wrote a negative review for it, Steam's algorithm would remove it -- which, IMO, is fair.
      It's just like if you can't prove that you have seen a movie but wrote a review for it on Rotten Tomatoes, the website would remove your review and score.

      Trusting any one source is not a good idea. Take the steam user reviews like anything else; just another data point. Find content creators you trust with maybe some other independent media and form your own review aggregation.

      ... Steam users have voted the "LGBTQ+" tag for Veilguard. "LGBTQ+" is the VERY FIRST tag for the game, ahead/atop/in front of all other tags like "Fantasy", "RPG", etc. I don't know about other people, but personally, I would NOT buy or even touch a game if it has the "LGBTQ+" tag on Steam.

    I happened across this video by chance, but after listening to the absolute GOLD that you shared, I'm giving you full-hearted subscribe!! As a patriot myself, I'm SO SICK of the woke crap contaminating not only my society, but the video game franchises that I love and rely on for escapism. There are NOT ENOUGH voices like yours on RUclips, and I genuinely commend you for having the testicular fortitude to say what people like me are thinking. God bless you, ENDYMION.
