Large difference, but happy to help. I will note that according to nearly all "Partisanship tests" of the last 20 years, my views on foreign invaders and my views on law and order vs police brutality and my complete derision for intersectionality and all other forms of critical theory lands me square in the CONSERVATIVE!!!! basket. So a lot of what I say comes off as "conservative", but I'm not really concerned. It's easy to get my views. Just ask. :D
I understand your concerns regarding media and culture. On the flipside, as I said earlier in the topic, the majority of games are not targeted at children, they're targeted at the 18-34 age range. And I do NOT believe ANY legislation should EVER DICTATE how parents raise their kids. NEVER take the agency away from parents. If parents are going to immerse their children into gay bullshit? That's on THEM. As a parent, it is YOUR responsibility to determine what games, movies, series, books, etc. are suitable for your children. Nobody else's. So trying to "kick the gay" from games intended for adults in the first place? Is you attempting to control other adults.
It IS just a game. Just like GTA 3 was JUST A GAME. ZERO data exists showing that the GTA games led to people going out and stealing cars, killing cops, and causing the national guard to be deployed. ZERO data exists showing that games have turned men or women gay. And ZERO data exists showing that "clean" games have influenced people to clean up their act, or that Christian games have converted ANYONE. Nope. No data, friend. I would understand more about the issue with movies/TV, but even there, when talking about children? It's YOUR child. What they watch is determined by YOU. Why are you crying that things you'll never allow your kids to watch until they're old enough that you no longer have a say exist? When I'm looking for a new game to play, what's gonna have some kind of impact on your child doesn't enter my thoughts. I'm trying to buy a game. You worry about your OWN child.
I recognize that individual free thinkers have their own beliefs that don't fit neatly into a category, if people do fit neatly that's strong evidence they're just a social follower and not a free thinker. The liberal conservative definitions don't really hold up anymore, neither does right or left or the 2d political compass, because there are things that are simply not measurable.
I personally think that the government of a nation should absolutely regulate how parents raise their kids, to a certain degree. My opinion is validated by recent events over the last 10 years. If you allow parents to fully immerse their kids into the gay race communism cult, with no opposing force, eventually what happens is those kids become ascendant and control the government. And then they imprison
YOU for not thinking how they want you to think. It's completely comparable to the arms race dilemma/prisoner's dilemma. Sure, if both parties back off, both parties benefit. But if one party keeps building their arms, and the other doesn't, the armed party simply conquers the unarmed party.
This is exactly what almost happened. They relentlessly persecuted us and we had to fight tool and nail to stop it. I was never interested in politics until I was targeted by institutions I trusted, because I'm a white male.
