Or calls for factional unity.
A common complaint among the left (and what intersectionality is designed to address) was the bad habit of their groups to factionalize upon finding success and tear apart their organizations. Or socialist organizations to stop promoting change and get caught up in purity spirals after they were able to drive out immediate challengers.
Compare to the bad habit of libertarians to get engaged in pointless "ancap versus left-leaning libertarian versus conservatarian versus socialist libertarian" purity spirals that go nowhere. Or the bad habit of the libertarian party to engage in increasingly pointless displays to show how transgressive they can be with each other (like walking on stage in the nude).
The broad not-left alliance needs to learn to put a boundary on what it wants and then organize *en masse* to assert power in the cultural institutions. Or everyone loses piece-by-piece.

@Timcast The big thing going on now in the culture war is the lie of online hashtags. This is the core of "Get Woke, Go Broke." Companies are being told that in order to makes sales, they have to go with Hashtag calls on Tumbler and Twitter. The truth is, the Hashtagers are not buyers, and as such the companies aren't buying. The Consumers base wants good games, good movies, good stories. Instead they are being given a bunch of garbage made to cater to Hashtag calls.
exactly ^
@Timcast The big divide is the differance between people voting with hashtags vs people voting with their credit cards. The companies are being told to count the votes of the hashtags, and the people with credit cards have too often been left to foot the bill. And the Consumers are now sick and tired of this trend. Marvel publishing is bleeding out. Lucasfilms is bleeding out.
faceless corporations with shareholder who know shit about the product and target audiences caring more about PR (because best PR means biggest buck yeh ?) than anything else
Well
What WOULD help more with PR is to give out complimentory bell curves and national crime stats
Thats what studies show anyways.
I don't really think the company understands why you are voting with your wallet all they see are dropping sales
Apparently using air conditioning is now sexist? Maybe it is time to declare the feminist leaders as mentally unsound.
Theres been an unfortunate shift in corporations as of late
The theory goes that your die hard users will always use your products and you should do what you can to court new markets
I joked a long time ago, I joked that women want everything sexists so they can control our lives. Now it seems to be coming true...
I should stop joking. Sadly my jokes are ending up becoming true.
If you look at the SJW influence in gaming this explains a lot
EA thinks that people will always buy Battlefield Games and sees a potential market in a large amount of people who want more progressive games
Logically If you make a product that people ask for they should want to buy it
They view the SJWs as customers not as a negative PR protection racket
They think that by combining or changing games they can appeal to a broader market
Yep.
In other words if you make a game thats half battlefield and half fortnite youll most of the battlefield players and a good number of the fortnite players
That fatal error of thinking there's a vast ocean of hidden markets lying just under our feet.
And if we keep drilling through our own people long enough, we'll get them.
Your own people don't like being drilled through though.
