While this video is clearly satire, there is no doubt that sjws are a plague on gaming and all media

Care to elaborate on that opinion?


Ok. People are free to criticize of course, but I think that the integrity of the art form suffers when games are viewed not on their own terms as aesthetic statements, but instead analyzed and condemned for their supposed implications on society at large. 


No offense, but that's kind of nonsense. All art forms recieve criticism based on supposed or intentonial societal implications, and have for centuries. The fact that games are being held to that standard actually helps validate them as an artform, since something that has no real artistic merit can't be viewed with a critical eye. Games are not immune to cultural criticism just because gamers want them to be, and they shouldn't be. They don't exist in a vaccuum.
