Actually, you're in the main wrong about it being the more oldschool Conservative media being against Gaming. That's strictly a Daily Wire thing, and it's not linked to them wanting to work for National Review, or anything of the sort (In point of fact, while they don't cover them as much as they should, National Review is generally
friendly towards video games.).
Heck, as I posted in the gamer thread, the actual oldschool Conservative media empire, Salem (founded in the 1970s and made a big name for itself in Christian and Conservative Talk Radio, so we're talking ACTUAL BOOMER focused media) associated website RedState (a site focused on grassroots SocialCon aspects) is also explicitly pro-gamer:
The Gaming Industry Is the Conservative Movement's Best Friend, It Just Doesn't Know It Yet
Basically, Daily Wire's aversion to video games is not tied in anyway to their desire to be more elite, or based on their ideology, or because they're old, no, it's much simpler than that: for the most part Daily Wire's hosts don't find video games appealing as entertainment and fall into the trap of conflating "thing I don't enjoy" to "thing nobody should enjoy" that so many people do, and so they then look for justification for that position rather than treat the topic neutrally.
Nice attempt at changing the subject, but we have explicit hot takes from Walsh and his ilk saying that gaming is bad for you that spending hours killing virtual people on virtual reality "damages you" and denigrating gamers for having a hobby and not doing what tradcucks think they should do - family, carierism, some form of activism, etc.
All in the videos, guess that you didn't watch them...
I do not want the Cuckservatives as a friend or an enemy, and I sure as hell do not care about their opinions of my hobbies, or about them trying to influence the industry in any way like the leftoids want to.I am a right-winger, I have my own views on the good life, proper social structure, economics and politics.
In some cases it aligns with what tradcucks or the MAGA movement or libertarians support, in other cases it makes all of them look like pinko commies, and in others I would be considered on the left of them.
I do not need any of them to tell me how to live my life or what hobbies I should have, or what fully legal, fictional content can be produced by and sold to adults.
Of children play too many hours of video games, or use video games as an outlet, then maybe those issues are ones that their parents should address, although given how well the west has been parenting kids by alternately smothering them with security blankets and leaving them to do whatever they sent on the internet I am starting to think that maybe they should all be banned from the internet and their time on phones and in games should be limited, and yes I know China does it.
We have a generation of garbage, exceedingly liberal parents thst think it is everyone else's job to parent their kids, and with an education system that is a combo of overpriced daycare, a dumping ground for leftist spinster waminz of the blue hair and doorknocker in the nose bioleninist perfect cronie variety, and an useless gubemint indoctrination facility that churns out lazy, entitled brats.
This situation can not continue.
And , sure, I you will force me and society to do or we will have parent your kids, but you better fucking shut up when they receive the public spanking those juvenile delinquents deserve.
As to Buckley, well he was one of the primary enemies of the paleocons and some libertarians and objectivists, and his comments about, day, Ayn Rand, are beyond pathetic.
I recall him whining about her inhabiting s den of liberals, libertines and transvestites IIRC.
