Why a game convention though? Does the gaming industry use any oil?

It's about getting the message out and being disruptive. Standing on a street corner with a sign does nothing as the news ignores you.
-
But disrupting a major event/traffic or attempting to destroy a priced piece of art with soup out of all things makes you and your organisation look like a massive pile of shit there are way way way better ways of protesting such as picketing as you said or rallys if you bring enough people say 200 or 300 you'll appear on the social media and prehaps local and regional news prehaps if you make a large enough splash you might sway the general public to your cause

Does the average person tune in to watch O&G industry conventions?
-
I suppose that there's plastic in various electronic devices, like controllers.
-
There's plastic in literally everything welcome to the modern world

Well, computers run on electricity, and gaming is a frivolous use, I guess?
-
-
Well this is way better than blocking roads and glueing your hands on the tarmac
-
Nah, I'd say it's about the same. I like both tactics!

"gamign", said the gaming journalist

At least we know it isn't an AI generated article

That's not any better

Good for them, we need way more of this.
Honestly yes, I don't think people truly realise how deeply in the shitter we are. Best outcome would be to duck off with it now, in a year. Carbon zero. But this won't happen.
If you use any modern product you wint be carbon zero. So please stop wearing clothes, using the internet , living in a home, eating any type of food.
I think most people are more than aware of climate change and climate change issue
No we don't, this disruptive behavior just makes people angry against you, it doesn't do anything for your goals, even if you have good intentions.
I agree. It's time to stop the nonviolent protests and start the violent protests.
Unfortunately, being angry for our cause is better than being apathetic towards our cause, so we’ll take what we can get while the planet melts and ecosystems die.
Amen
No don't if your going protest do it right your not sending a message by disrupting someone's nice day out your just going be a nuisance plus why a gaming convention what the fuck does a gaming convention have to do with the environment
100% agree. Just being a nuisance isn't enough. These protestors really ought to be attacking fossil fuel execs.
What do you recommend? not being disruptive means you are completely ignored by everyone.
