"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."
I'm getting old .. what does this mean and why is it objectionable? Google suggests it means they have strong character, which seems like a fair assessment.
To a zoomer, based is the opposite of cringe (I'm told). This is the first time I've seen it mentioned in regards to alt-right, that sounds like they happened to be alt-right zoomers.
No, it's not the "opposite of cringe" and it's not an alt-right dog whistle. It just means the person or group is willing to do the right thing, above politics or greed. It's more comparable to Giga Chad, but it's more accurate to say that Giga Chad when used in memes is the representation of a based individual.
Also, "alt-right" is a dog whistle for "white supremacist", invented by a white supremacist to soften the language. Stop using it. Just call them white supremacists or fascists.
