I don't know if they believe it, and it's not just gaming. I see it under any story about something bad happening. Some troll instantly says "DEI" because it's the current buzzword, and it gets a reaction.

The problem is that is goes into the "sphere". Click on one video and it feeds into many others.

I used to think it was a smaller section and then my streamer friends complain about "woke". The thing that always gets me is when someone says: "I don't mind a minority character as long as it makes sense for them to be there". Oh right, minorities should explain our existence shall we? I would like to think that they mean when social commentary feels shoehorned or there's corporate pandering (which I think we can have discussions about) ... however, we don't need to suffer from woke-paranoia just because someone doesn't fit the mould. I remember the Star Trek Beyond "controversy" and when the scene happened I didn't even register it because it was so forgettable to me.

I've been in arguments with friends about how "how many genders we have ..." and I have to be like, there's so few actual trans people and trans issues that are "in your face" to get as worked up as you guys are ...

Sorry I went on a deeper rant than I should have.
