I'm not sure what to make just yet about this breaking "Russian Disinformation" scandal through Tenet Media. Reportedly, six prominent right-wing social media personalities: Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, Taylor Hansen and Matt Christiansen; were paid something like $100,000 per month each, to basically continue making content they were already making, with no exclusivity strings attached.
The only person on this list whose content I've caught (I'm not in the target audience for Right Wing Media) is Benny Johnson, who I considered a snarky condescending prick and quickly selected Don't recommend channel. One of the alleged motivations of this operation is to sow controversy and division into American political and social discourse, and Fuck Face Benny seems to excel in this capacity.
That said, on the face of it, this sounds like such an utterly piss-poor value proposition for the sheer volume of money getting shoveled out that I have a hard time the DOJ et al are telling the whole story. The only thing approaching a specific narrative they "pushed" was a vague reference to Ukraine is evil and the actual aggressor which is a position that many Right-leaning commentators like retired CIA analysts do a good job of expressing and backing up with strong specific details, for FREE.
I wonder if Scott Ritter's recent run-ins with 3 letter agencies are tied to this case in any way? If it WAS part of the same investigation, it appears they didn't find any dirt on Scott, even though he is open and transparent about writing content as an independent journalist that appears on RT.
Anyway, LOTS of the details surrounding this breaking story don't add up well when one tries to take the DOJ's case at face value and look closely at the merits of their allegations. It's one of those subjects that I find it wise to watch and see how it proceeds before getting invested in a specific position or narrative.

This venn diagrams across a couple of "populist" movements.
White-ass woman from Texas literally says "Colonialism gets a bad rap" as she discusses her plans to displace native Palestinians and "settle" in Gaza. She also makes mouth noises about "Palestinian isn't an ethnicity, it's an ideology."
TRPers who were all about "Tradwives" for a time, tell me if this makes you rethink that concept even a little?

Video games 2024!
Anecdotally, I found myself in a warhammer store a few days ago as I wondered around town. I spent about 30-45 minutes in their browsing and chatting to the manager about how far the game had come since I played 20 years ago. In that time, and I kid you not, no less than three trannies came in. One was incredibly standoffish to the other assistant when spoken to. The others just milled about looking like blokes in dresses.
More than anything, that put me off ever wanting to touch Warhammer again. If we had to guess, what is it about Warhammer that appeals to the mentally ill? That was some serious trans over representation, and I can only assume that during the week there would be even more.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all about live and let live, if that’s the hobby they’ve chosen to partake in then that’s absolutely fine, but as I said, I don’t want to be associated with mental illness by proxy. It was just very weird.
I don't think that Warhammer holds much appeal with people in general. Role-play, board, strategy, card, and gaming in general has mostly appealed to kids, teens, and some young adults. If you're seeing men in drag gaming, they were likely already doing it before they had their genitals cut off and they likely saw no reason to stop gaming after they had their junk jarred and pickled.
Frankly, with so many franchises having been out for decades, and product already on the market, with 3d printing options and shopping going online, there's little reason to go to a physical shop for things other than groceries. As for why so many game developers and publishing executives have decided to appeal to a near non-existent minority at the expense of their core customer base, I can only come to one conclusion as to what prompted that.

@Vermillion-Rx Also, it's a tabletop game played with miniatures. I don't know if the MMO version ever came out, but why would there be a brick-and-mortar store for an MMO game?

My guess is nearly every MMO game where you can be some custom character just happens to draw in more trannies
Warhammer is not such a game. You control armies or some shit.

@Stigma daygaming for trannies?
Did they buy anything expensive?
They might be just going there because the word came out that the boys into the WH are an easier target. ..

I'm not sure if it was just bad luck or or what for you. My guess is nearly every MMO game where you can be some custom character just happens to draw in more trannies. At the end of the day they are still men and men disproportionately play videogames than women
I don't think many trannies are playing COD, halo, or battlefield. They are probably more likely to play games where you can make believe some RPG character, if i had to guess. So part bad luck on your day and part they are probably funneling in to such content
Sad reality is trannies are into everything but probably moreso specific draws. Seriously 3 that sounds like horrible luck
