Liberalism is a about painting a virtuous image of corporations and media to the masses and turn everybody into a blind consumer.
It's also using virtuous causes as a shield from criticism. It also makes it easy to attach labels.
When you dismiss every criticism as "racist, sexist, homophobic" whenever you can't use political buzzwords you can still use one word, like let's say...purist, and you get away with it.
Have you noticed how it's getting impossible to say "that's because I'm a bigger fan of this than you" anymore even though that's definitely possible? That's why.
It's become offensive to have standards, that's the hidden purpose. A lot of people have also started associating buying everything from a brand with being a bigger fan.
Someone in the past said society rejected religion then made consumerism into religion, which is true.
It's about making everything as safe and unoffensive as possible to cater as many people as possible while making people more and more vulnerable to marketing.
I've read comments in here, which is not as bad as reddit, like
"As long as the game sells well and gets good reviews, I'm happy". These people retroactively redeem Nintendo zealots.
Liberalism the way it's used in modern times is a tool of capitalism, most of the "improvements" in the gaming industry were about snowflake safe spaces, hardly any about unions, paid overtime, paid leave and all that kinda stuff usually a left-leaning person would strike to obtain.
