just to set the record, we're talking about murky waters and it's impossible to say why what vibes are shifting in what direction with absolute certainty, however my point is that if the chinese consumers didn't become the main consumer base of games then american wokies would have a lot stronger stance, if all the woke american games were the only ones with any playerbase then they could say "haha look only our games are popular! that means they're the best and we're right!" which could convince normie fence sitters that it's just how it is, progressive politics won, if you wanna play game then you just gotta suck it up, that's how the industry is, it's because of chinese gamers buying non woke games, pushing them up to the top, making them dunk on wokie games that they don't have this argument, and that western gamers can say "actually your woke games are flopping, and non woke games are doing better, people agree with us not you", the tug of war in the west between the two sides of gamergate is influenced by vibes and optics, trump winning and his supporters having ammunition to fire at the woke calitrannies is important for sure, but it was chinese gamers and companies that provided the ammunition, by showing that you have options other than the calitranny goyslop, without them the right on the west would have little ammunition, and the two sides are fighting over the normies in the middle that are swayed by vibes and optics, like you have 5% woke trannies and 5% pro trump gamers, and 90% normies who will go wherever the vibes and optics flow, without chinese gamers and games the woke trannies would have the upper hand in optics, with them the pro trump gamers have the upper hand in optics, both are relevant, but I think china is more relevant
