Great video by Shaun about the overreaction by certain Anti-SJWs about the "SJW OUTRAGE" on some jokes in the Doom Eternal gameplay.

I still don't get how some individuals can get triggered and misinterpret everything out of context. There was nothing in the gameplay being offensive.
I was just about to post this. I saw headlines for this online and didn't even click them but knew it was faux outrage thing.
I would watch the video.
It was honestly crazy seeing people like Sargon calling Doom an alt right game and that that's the reason people are liking it compared to BF5.
Online is not real. Everything's a joke. It'll all be over in a few decades.
Hey, can we stop using the word "triggered" as a stand-in for "people calling out bullshit" Your real self is showing.
edit - to clarify, I understand that there really isn't any outrage over DOOM and that this is a made up scandal designed to rile up the anti-SJW crowd.
Haha, I knew that this "SJW outrage" was based on a couple of tweets that aren't even outraged at the game, but Shaun noticing the bolded letters was amazing.
The "anti-SJWs" literally searched Twitter for "doom demon offended" to find some outrage. That's how desperate they were to find some outrage after finding out nobody was offended by the jokes.

Never bought it, never will. Online simply strips away all the phony faces people wear in real life. Let's them be their true asshole self. Does feel like it's all leading to something horrific, though, so I'm sure in a couple decades opinions might have altered (kind of like WW2's aftermath injected humanity into people for a couple decades).
The video explains in detail why some people might find it offensive. The lack of context is key here as the 2016 games had a similar satire towards corporate culture, and that includes videos about how behave towards demons, and how to worship them. The tone is actually what makes it funny. When I first saw the trailer for Doom Eternal it made perfect sense when the holograms had the same satire I saw in the 2016 game. I didn't find it offensive at all, but a person seeing the doom trailer without playing the 2016 game might interpret it as being anti-left as it makes fun of progressive policies or tone in a corporate entertainment.
There was absolutely nothing offensive about the Doom Eternal gameplay, I knew the outrage was fake.
There's no way people got triggered by that ''mortally challenged'' joke.

What is so funny no one major was posting anything about being offended by the joke. They had to dig deep to try and fake this outrage. Luckily it wasn't anything from anyone I follow, because I would have dropped them quick. This was like some checkout line gossip paper grade journalism.
It was the exact same story for me. I was wondering who exactly these folks were talking about since none of the leftists I knew had said anything about DOOM Eternal.
He forgot to mention the main offender:

I thought the whole thing during the quakecon demo was eye rolling...trying to make Doom into some political statement on either side. It's the definition of taking a simple joke and reading way too much into it. The entire point of the previous game was doomguy going "enough of your bullshit shut up and let me kill demons". We did have a couple of people on here try to make the demo into some controversy but thankfully it was shut down by everyone else as being completely ridiculous.
If this is true, that's one of the reasons I stopped using twitter. Incredible the amount of times I've seen a discourse because one (1) person said some dumb shit, and suddenly it's blown up and dumbasses thinks it's a whole group of people. Twitter repeats itself until maximum idiocy is achieved
I'm shocked alt-right gamers have effectively gaslighted themselves into being outraged.
Also I had no clue ReviewtechUSA just went full alt-right.

This is a good take. And "melting pot" itself is/used to be a term of erasure that's drifted to vaguely imply "welcoming diversity." UAC tries to exploit the demons' resources, then assimilate them/enslave them, and it goes horribly wrong. It's like a worst-case scenario for colonialists.
I do agree that the trailer didn't frame the satire as well as it should've.

It's true, every video with the tweets has those words bolded since those are the words they used to search for the outrage.
Yes this is how it is most of the time. But you gotta fight the "sjw boogieman" or well you just want clicks from your racist/gamer audience.
Yep
The only people who attribute concerns to "outrage" and complain about "outrage culture" are generally terrible people with questionable sympathies. It's just another way to tell minorities or allies to shut up.
The point of this is that there wasn't an outrage. But the internet right pretends that there was.
There was so little outrage they had to actively search for it through a Twitter keyword search.
Nah, that's the point of the video. A bunch of Youtubers/Politcal sites essentially blew up a handful of tweets for easy money.
Came to post this.
There was quite some complaining going on in that thread regarding the joke and "symbolism" of the demons.
Reminds me of Mario Odyssey when there was "outrage" of Mario in a Sombrero and Poncho where in reality it was like 4 dudes discussing minor grievances, largely to themselves. But Twitter loooooved telling me SJWs were rounding up to attack that game because of it.
Thankfully that didn't gain much traction, unlike the fake outrage surrounding Cuphead.

Shaun goes into this in the video, how ultimately it was a bad trailer as the intention of the satire was vague enough that it could be taken multiple ways. Shaun among many thought of it as mocking corporations co-opting progressive language, while others thought (and liked or dislike) that it seemed to mock progressive rhetoric. As he says, it's not great satire if intent is unclear, especially if it gets celebrated as a win for the far right.
Yes, referring to ERA. Someone took offense to the game's humor in one of the threads around Quakecon.
When you see videos with over 700k views whose authors are whining about literally a couple tweets with each a couple retweets and likes that they specifically searched for.
