I personally find Trump embarrassing due to his choices in food, tanning products, and women.

I'm just not impressed with any of the President's wives.
Same deal as with Elon Musk and Grimes. She may be wealthy and successful, but you still can't help but look at those two and have to question his taste.

So, yeah... Animal Farm is apparently now a game:
No idea as to specifics. But I find it a rather incongruous sign of our times. Much like 1984, Animal Farm was intended to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual. I can't help but wonder whether:
1: This message is likely to be understood by the demographic most likely to purchase video games, or
2: The message has been thrown away or greatly contorted.

The gaming industry has been infiltrated by woke leftists and many independent gaming companies put out ridiculous games just to **** them off.

How The Last of Us Part II brought lesbian representation to gaming
The game pointedly asks its players to remember that not only do lesbians and other queer folk exist in every world but that we deserve to use our lens to tell these new stories.
Press A, Be Gay: LGBTQ representation in video games in the past 50 years
I used to post about it in here in 2014-15, a real journalist uncovered the story and published about it. It was coined GamerGate.
It was actually pretty genius of the left at the time, it's right when "alt-right" got termed and they started calling everyone racist and alt-right who tried to expose the leftist agenda.
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ght-hate-trump
The similarities between Gamergate and the far-right online movement, the “alt-right”, are huge, startling and in no way a coincidence. After all, the culture war that began in games now has a senior representative in The White House. As a founder member and former executive chair of Brietbart News, Steve Bannon had a hand in creating media monster Milo Yiannopoulos, who built his fame and Twitter following by supporting and cheerleading Gamergate. This hashtag was the canary in the coalmine, and we ignored it.
