“The right of creators to create whatever they please is as far as I’m concerned sacred”



….is apparently something Totalbiscuit actually said with sincerity as a counter-argument to “social justice” criticism of video game content.

You know, CRITICISM, that thing everyone in the entire world is entitled to express, for any reason they feel.

Criticism, which in no way “forces” work to be changed or “censors” anything, but merely points out what makes someone dissatisfied with a work and leaves creators open to consider it if they so choose.

Criticism, which is the only way for creators to actually know what they can improve or how they can please more of their customers.



Maybe if we were talking about state laws and regulations restricting the content of political cartoons, this “sacred” remark would actually make some level of sense, but we’re not. We’re talking about packaged products called video games, which exist to entertain people, and how these products are making many consumers feel insulted when they consistently stereotype or erase entire demographics of the same people who want to enjoy them.

Thus, those people express their feelings on how they wish a massive multi-billion-dollar industry would acknowledge them more respectfully, something they have a right to do and in no way infringes on the rights of developers.



Creators already create what they please without repercussions. Offensive, shitty, hackneyed and unoriginal content makes millions of dollars a day. Every time one of these ignorant pissbags whines that “creators should be allowed to do what they want!!!” anyone can see that they’re only really saying they don’t feel their fellow consumers should be allowed to critique what they want.
