[QUOTE="infinitejest, post: 615071, member: 10966"] New season was the worst one yet. Another show this year this year falling under the weight of its progressive agenda. The creator is a huge leftie and the show has always bent this way, but it was ridiculously over the top this year. With the weak narratives and lack of futuristic technology that hasn't already been explored, the show failed to maintain any sense of realism or engagement. Really, I'd just say this season was largely boring. If not for the excessive amounts of progressive propaganda infused into it, I probably wouldn't even bother to write much about it. [b][u]EP.1[/u][/b] -How is the first episode getting props from anyone. The idea that a company would just release a Street Fighter game mostly played by teenaged boys with a fully programmed VR sex simulator within it is absurd.

Even if we understand that in the episode's universe we are deep in Clown World 2029 I still don't buy this oversight.
