The joke in question is very clearly at the expense of multi-billion dollar companies using really cynical tactics to make money from the aforementioned mobile gamers. This kind of corporate fake-wokeism that uses its power to insist that punching up by criticising them is punching down, and of cynically invoking the powerless in order to silence critics in ways that wouldn't work if it wasn't really helping the powerful, is getting really tiring. Not only that, it feels like there's something deeply, fundamentally wrong with our current social justice activism that leaves it not only structurally incapable of actually representing the powerless, but also using its power so aggressively against anyone who challenges its claims to be doing so that it's actively harmful to any attempt to genuinely do so.
