Harassed by Assassin’s Creed gamers, a professor fought back with kindness

The fashy outrage engine where any trailer with some amount of melanin triggers endless "WOKE FAIL" videos is in full force.

The process is watch trailer>check for nonwhite>RAGE video>if game bombs: GLOAT video> if game is a hit: quietly STFU and move on to the next target.

I have to assume the algorithmic boosting of this garbage is the result of someone at Google arguing that groceries haul videos and reaction videos were the bottom of the barrel and someone grab-my-beering that shit.

I mean, these idiots spent months doing "Expedition 33 is WOKE" outrage videos. That was, in fact, the top couple of threads on the Steam community forum for the game on launch day. I checked. Besides one thread hilariously trying to do "It's a hit because it's not WOKE" on the top page, the word "woke" is no longer in the first ten pages of discussions.

It's such an obvious grift and it's so pointless to even call it out. Everybody knows it's bullshit. The creators know it, the fascistoid children following them know it, the game makers know it, the politicians taking advantage to indoctrinate young men know it. And yet here we are.
