The same thing happened during the anti-gay moral panic of the 1980s. According to the British Social Attitudes Survey, in 1983, 50% of the population thought same sex relations were always wrong. By 1987, that climbed to 64%. Media and political hate campaigns work.

I hold in my heart of hearts that if anyone outside of the industry knew that most games are held together with a lot of smoke and mirrors they’d have a stroke

Remember when the biggest problem the UK was facing was that supermarket frozen beef burgers had horse meat in them? It was an important conversation around food standards to be sure, but man I want to go back to the simpler times.
