When did /v/ become so preoccupied with virtue signaling?

>>386899882
what the FUCK does virtue signalling mean?

>>386899984
Virtue signalling is when people pander opposing ideologies for the purpose of making them appear "virtuous" over social media.

An example would be a upper-middle class white person throwing out the #BLM hashtag or heterosexual people identifying as "allies".

In reality, they only do this to make themselves appear or "feel" as though they are taking the "higher ground" on a topic.

Did I miss something about Lawbreakers or was that just an excuse to make this thread seem vidya related?

It goes the other way too, with retards on here boycotting the game because Cliffy B tweeted about unisex restrooms being in the game, which is something nobody would notice or care about.

There are 4 black people on the roster and there are uni gendered bathrooms and it triggers /v/

Yeah, the narrative on here is to diss the game because of Cliffy's politics or attitude, which has nothing to do with a competitive FPS that celebrates all of the diverse cast get their heads blown off repeatedly.

Oh so business as usual on /v/ thanks

I thought people weren't playing his new game because it sucks and is just another overwatch clone

>>386900946
and 1 white?
forced male:female ratio
and just overall uninspired design.. like none of the characters really sticked into my mind like "hey thats cool" just the "oh its that guy with the retarded that thing"... overall the gameplay, hud design etc it just isnt to people who want to play a hardcore game and casuals do not want to pick a game that isnt popular.. so who is left?

>>386900873
would've been fine if we didn't try to use it as a selling point. made it seem less about building an "optimistic future" and more about pandering to tumblrkin

>>386900784
You missed how its marketing team are taking to online forums and shit like /v/ to try and guilt trip people into buying a game they probably weren't even interested in in the first place

It plays nothing like Overwatch. It emphasizes individual skill and every class is offensive. It also has no downtime during a match and no babysitting objectives for entire minutes.
