It might not be that bad. What is being litigated is not fundamentally new, so it will be constrained by existing decisions. When a case is as messy as this, it tends to not end up precedent.

Its astounding as to how many leftists, especially western leftists, don’t do anything, or if at all, only bat an eye towards this bs from corporate. It appears that to many of them, corporate BS and shoehorned garbage are bad only if its coming from conservatives. Never mind that running a corporation doesn’t innately require one to be a right wing-leaning person! Take a good look at most, if not all, of the higher-ups at Disney, Google, Sony, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft. How fucking ONE-SIDED!

That’s because it’s not about principle or morality with the Left. It never was. Anyone who still thinks they ever cared after the last four years, and especially 2020 is unfathomably fucking idiotic.
 
They’re materialists and moral relativists, all they care about is power. It’s always about power with them.
 
 
Remember that time Trump made that stupid press announcement where he repeated that old 2001 line about how Video Games cause violence? And the Left was like “No they don’t! This has been debunked, he’s so dumb!”  
The Left also believe Video Games cause violence, they just add in an extra step:  
“Video Games are Misogynistic and Sexismus!!!”
Okay, why is this a problem?
“Because it makes gamers Misogynistic and Sexismus!!”
Okay, so what’s the problem with that?
“Misogynisims and Sexisms cause violence!”
So…Video Games cause violence then?
 
They have no consistency, no morality, no ethics, no principles at all. Just say whatever needs to be said to grab power and then wield it like a cudgel to crush anyone who refuses to accept and acknowledge your ill-gotten influence.

>they’re materialists and moral relativists  
Materialists, yes very much the case more often than not. However, Moral Relativism, while indeed having gone too far with many leftists, isn’t something that all lefties believe in. Far leftists- like Stalinists, Maosists, and quite a number of Leninists, unironically believe their ideology to be the one size that fits all folks, and have been known to label anyone they find to disagree with them as ““counter-revolutionary”” or ““deviationist””.  
Lastly, moral universalism of the most rigid kind, regardless of what political wing it is, doesn’t make sense.

I keep being told #NotAllLefties, I never see or hear these moderates.  
It’s like that old expression with Muslims, I find that it works more accurately if you apply it to leftists.
 
The Far Left wants to guillotine you. The Moderate Left wants the Far Left to guillotine you.

The -gates literally only entrenched the powers of the left. The problem in America is that the right will piss and moan about things, but never do anything meaningful about it. That moaning ends up justification to consolidate power and kick them out after they self-identified.
 
Happened in GamerGate. Happened in AnimeGate. Happened in ComicGate. Happened in open source with codes of conduct. Now happening IRL because of the Jan. 6th Capitol Tour.
 
There’s probably an ancient proverb about starting a war you aren’t willing to win.

You know if they’d just give me my god damn robot arms I’d be willing to call it even. But nooooo. We get corporate dystopia with cybernetics and robots. Fucking scam is what it is. They completely failed to deliver on their end of the social contract.
