When person of the year meant something, they really mean the person who most impacted the world

Unlike Basement Biden. Front liners got robbed

WatchMojo had it as their #1 pick for Game of the Year. Animal Crossing was #2 and when they were getting ready to announce the #1, I was puzzled what it could be as all of the top games were already previously said. And then they gave the number one.... And this was it.

That's an analogy that only someone who thinks they're smarter than they are would make.

the funny thing is that in like 2 months the game will be patched and running fine and everyone will forget, they'll enjoy playing the game they just equated to adolf hitler

This has never been the case for video games ever though and it's an incredibly dumb and insensitive analogy lmao

Everything is Hitler.
WW2 was the only event that happened in human history. There was nothing before it, then WW2 happened and life on earth began.

I don't think anyone actually considers Cyberpunk to be the GotY though.

That's a desperate take lmao

Think it just the US education system having a US focused history. So genocides in other country don't get covered as much. So unless they go on the internet Holocaust is all they know for genocides.

I remember one time a friend had no idea about the Yugoslav wars. Which are barely 30 years old.

The Native American Genocide is kind of talked about in that light, but not really. Like, the coverage is really negative towards the U.S., but it pales in comparison to the way we treat the Holocaust. It's pretty wild.
