Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Yes, it is still weird. Wewve just gotten used to it.
The weirdness of that stuff is the reason people don't like fortnite.
I'm not sure how to have a conversation about this if weirdness has a secret definition. What is normal but the weird stuff you're used to in life?
I don't have a comprehensive definition of "weird". But having "concerts" and election propaganda in a multiplayer shooter isn't weird to you?
I heard there have been concerts in Minecraft that were popular. Anything beats doing it in Zuckerberg's whatever thing, imo. Virtual concerts seem lame certainly, but some enjoy it.
As for election propaganda, video games are big media. Bigger than Hollywood. Whatever my preferences, it would be absurd to expect it to be some kind of ideological dead zone.
Like I said I feel pretty disinterested, but more on grounds of taste than any firm feelings of social norms.
I don’t remember my election propaganda in real movies released during election season
Damn, that's crazy
I already understand what you linked to, but that isn't stuff about specific (not even a la roman a clef) candidates released during election season
