We are Koalas
We are alive.

We believe that games are an art form that should be allowed to flourish and evolve naturally and freely
and should thus be protected from the dogmatic rhetoric of a clique of totalitarian ideologues
who seek only to reign over an intellectually monolithic empire.

We believe that the free flow of ideas and information is necessary
for an informed, free democratic society to function
and condemn all attempts to use disinformation, censorship and bullying to disrupt free discussion.

We believe that a Fifth Estate worthy of that name needs to be
ethical, transparent, free from conflicts of interests and independent from undue outside influence
to merit the trust of the public, the real and only source of its legitimacy.

We denounce the mercantilization of debased social justice
and thus believe it is our responsibility to inform sponsors and partners
of the moral corruption they implicitly endorse through their advertisements.

We resist the careerist writers who sacrifice social harmony, human ethics and intellectual honesty
on the altar of Controversy, in their quest for clicks
in attempt to please their corporate owners’ cupidity.




We refuse to forego our legitimate right to think for ourselves, and resist those who want us to serve
as a passive, obedient, subservient audience whose only function is to
listen and believe the propaganda of culture war profiteers and patented gurus who prey on the gullible.

We reject harassment, threats, abuse; and the use of those terms
to mislabel questions, dissent and criticism
which are all essential parts of any rational, logical, respectful social discussion.

We reject the Industry of Outrage and its shame-based economic model
which parades calculated victimhood and fabricated martyrs to distract from its own sins
while panhandling for the sympathy of the morally manipulated masses.

We reject the ideological megaphones who perpetually parrot their prejudiced hate
which they attempt to masquerade as progressive political preferences
to disguise their own self-centered ethically bankrupt behavior.

We reject the meticulous and deliberate manufacturing of self-fulfilling prophecies
by self-aggrandizing and recognition-starved academics
who have neither knowledge nor care for games, developers and gamers.

We believe that misogyny does exist, is toxic, and that trivializing its true gravity
by throwing the term around as a ready-made decoy to stonewall any constructive dialogue
is intellectually dishonest and immoral.

We believe that we are humans first; and that the use of our gender, sexual orientation, religious or ethnic identities
as mere commodities, to be traded on the open market, in return for ideological brownie points
objectifies, exploits and ultimately dehumanizes us all.

We are of all genders, skin colors, sexual orientations, cultures, creeds, ages, education levels and social classes
To you, those things should divide us
Yet here we stand, united.

Because we are not divided by those identities we didn't choose
We are united by the one identity we did choose. Koalas are the dominant species and will take over the world or worse... THE UNIVERSE. Be prepared for the Koala Apocolypse

We are Koalas
We are alive
