Considering that the satirical doc criticized the agressive monetization that predominantly affects mobile gamers I find it hard to see how that is trashing mobile gamers. Or is it so that if I criticize something that affects some group not specifically me it's actually punching down? It's not possible to criticize something that's being done to a group without it being a criticism of that group? This is absolutely brilliant. PR departments must love this.

The move from "isms" as a character flaw to "isms" as a structural flaw makes this kind of analysis possible. Character Flaw: X is injured. you intend to injure X as you did Y. Structural Flaw: X is injured. X was injured by your neglect in considering the interests of X as you did Y. "Mobile Gamer Egos" were hurt because they werent "properly considered". The issue with this kind of structural analysis is that you have to show a duty that a person/system has towards X for their "neglect of X" to be their fault. This is routinely missising from the analysis.

  > The move from "isms" as a character flaw to "isms" as a structural flaw makes this kind of analysis possible. I actually think isms as a structural flaw rather than a character flaw is much more pertinent in many cases, certainly most cases that cause the most damage in people's lives. However, the idea that this documentation amounts to some kind of structural discrimination is facially ridiculous, and, in my view, offensive to the real causes whose language it's abusing.

Right, that's why criticizing the companies who shamelessly pushed opioids is actually wrong too, because it's punching down at the people who enjoy using the opioids who often tend to be low-income and yes, women. Woops, you punched down!
