Why I'm on Steemit

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I'm not on Steemit to earn Steem bucks, although that's super cool.

I'm on Steemit because of the moral panic.

Like the Satanic Panic of the late eighties/early nineties, a vocal group of morality police is running about accusing anyone who is insufficiently enthusiastic about their politics of serving the Forces of Evil.

As a human being, I stand for freedom, goodness, and all that fine stuff.

As a game dev, I stand solely for fun.

I feel no need to force feed people my politics. Indeed, I want both the oppressive imperials and the scrappy rebels to play, and love, my games.

Hopefully the morality police will ignore me because I'm small and inoffensive. If they do, sweet.

If not... well. If you force me to take up arms in the service of fun, you force me to take up arms in the service of fun.

The best place, IMO, to draw people in to your developing game is tumblr. But it's no secret that calling tumblr 'politically biased' is like calling Niagra Falls 'drippy.'

So my game dev blog goes here, and tumblr will be my portal unless and until the morality police slam that portal shut.

I sincerely hope I never have to talk about this again.
