Commemorating one of 2020’s most significant sociocultural moments (besides Tiger King and 5G “smart-dust” techno-panic), Sony launched a new PS4 UI theme this week featuring Black Lives Matter icons, and some people are Very Offended™.

Like every other PS4 UI theme ever, this one is entirely optional to install, and also like every other PS4 UI theme ever, it’s a PS4 UI theme, not a new world order conspiracy. But don’t let that stop these guys.
Looks like I’ll be selling my ps5 pre order after being a die-hard fan since ps1. Maybe I’ll pick up a Microsoft console for the first time in my life, or just go all in on pc.

Thank you for making my choice between PS5 and Xbox Series X so much easier. Bye-bye Sony!

Or this guy, who probably has Cyberpunk 2077 on pre-order but maybe that’s different, I dunno (it’s not).
Eh nope? This is a gaming platform or a political indoctrination one? Sorry don’t want my game with politics, got enough of all the SJWish going on with this industry already.

Or this guy, who is stuck into 1950s commie-panic mode for some reason.
There should be a hammer and sickle logo on there somewhere. Since that’s what the “movement”is truly about.

And now this guy, who knows what’s up.
For every person that says they’re selling their PlayStation because of this, a bit more peace comes to the gaming community.
