I don't want to get too political, but to give an idea of where I'm coming from, I even agree the government needs certain aspects of socialism (ie social security), but holy shit these people are fucking insane lol

Ironically all the socialist and communist parties in my country, region even, would label these soft skinned idiots as liberal imperialists, not actual socialists.

This is actually lore accurate. Someone told me that in the original books, Pinhead seems androgynous. Neither male nor female.

I thought this was due to the mutilations. So whatever their gender originally was got destroyed to the point where you simply can't tell for sure.

I'm not surprised. There's a reason why job postings and interviewers aren't allowed to ask about race, gender, religion, etc... when a person applies for employment.

Not allowed to ask or the applicant is not required to answer? Every application I've submitted has asked me about my race and gender, but there's always an option for "prefer not to say."

Where I practice law, you're not allowed to ask. Not a problem if they offer the information casually through the interview, but asking about it can be problematic.

Wow this absolutely 100% explains everything. It’s much worse than I thought.
Companies made woke games because they got tax breaks and esg gov financing for making woke political games.
The contracts incline they had to hire a I and similar companies to consult in order to get the financing money.

Creativity and good games are replaced with money from gov with tons of political strings attached. That’s why games are shit. Korean game like stellar blade doesn’t have this problem. They can make whatever

 

[cormack12]

The best way to create a safe environment is to be around people 'just like me'.

Black or white, that ain't diversity.......

Been out of the loop, so to confirm the government funds companies who have high ESG scores?

[mrBarrelNut]

it's kinda obvious that it's not 'white microaggressions' that really annoy someone as aggressively opinionated & offensive as this. what really annoys her? having to control her own nasty mouth when around white people. so: no white employees, problem solved...

Apparently a white skin is a microaggression nowadays.

 

[mrBarrelNut]

Leftist still love segregation.

Well it was a (southern) democrat thing after all...

Basically, yeah, they seem to be the source. At least until you don’t go further. And there’s also Blackrock and Vanguard for example.

I was about to post this but worry it might lock up this thread.

Its the exact kind of mentality why bad ideas are accepted without questions in the fear that it might offend someone else.

 

[Moriarty1889]

My God what a racist bitch and unreal how much hate people like her have against white people. The real racists have now been exposed.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I get the impression US socialists are like that batshit crazy offshoot of RL socialists nobody wants to speak to.
Btw, it’s social democrats here in Europe.

All good homie. I didnt even know he had a show. Just popped it on Spotify

Edit: uh-oh, gestapo'oes!

Uhhh woke stuff is butt!

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

So now we have Musk providing commentary that's more nuanced than "Wow," and we have Matt Walsh introducing his audience to the warfront on gaming. We're picking up steam.

Walsh roasting Mercante wasn't on my Bingo card for any of these years, but here we are.

Yeah I’m glad this is finally getting some real attention and pushback. Seems like for years all we’ve gotten was gaslighting.

- “It’s organic, people want more inclusivity”

- “oh, oh I’m so confused about what ‘woke’ even means anymore, sounds like it’s just a generic term for anything you don’t like”

- “why does it even matter to you? Sounds like you guys are the real snowflakes”

- “[thing we ruined] only failed because of all the racist/sexist/homophobic butthurt man children”

- “you morons don’t know anything about SBI, all they do is make sure there’s nothing too offensive!”



Nope, turns out there’s a whole fucking industry, filled with loony activists and actual racists, dedicated to injecting their ideology into our games. And it’s a grift designed to snatch up DEI investment money. What a surprise.

Fucking "A"

Refusing to hire someone because they are white is the same as refusing to hire a woman because she is pregnant, or refusing to hire a transgender person because they are trans, and so on and so on. Its pretty funny that is person has their head up their ass so much they don't even appreciate that they are admitting to discrimination. I'm gonna laugh if EA gets hit with a human rights complaint.

All good reasons them

They may be claiming that they are marginalized, but this is the real face of privilege.
The Privilege that society is so tolerant to such anti-social behavior. Other cultures would not have it.

I've said this in another thread but as someone living in a third world country a lot of the american woke culture seems deeply privileged, specially when it comes to demanding things from and/or criticizing foreign companies and products. It's people who know they live in a major and influential country with a big important market (the biggest market for gaming in fact) so they feel entitled to being pandered to by everyone in the world.

Notice how when a game is made in Japan, no one in the west gets angry if it doesn't feature any of the prevalent minorities IN JAPANESE CULTURE (people from Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, etc or native minorities like Ainu or Ryukyuans). No one is like "Where are the south east Asians in FFXVI?!?!?!?!". It's always about the social issues in America, it's always about representing prevalent minorities in America.

Of course from a business perspective it makes sense, because America IS the biggest market for games and you obviously want to appeal to it.
But isn't that a privilege?

 

[nush]

the biggest market for games

barely beating China..

So I'm seeing the narrative behind this on Twitter and reddit etc is turning into a dogwhistle being:

"She isn't the lead on black panther, she was just talking about her indie game" and "yes what she said wasn't great, but it's so inconsequential. Why are white people so fragile".

I guess the narrative has been set, she's another hero now. We're the racists everyone

I'm wary on taking Elon's advice about this topic. Elon's overconfidence that he is not susceptible to a mind virus is a weak spot. Everyone is vulnerable to a mind virus.

I'm just curious about all this danger we take into the workplace as a white person.

is it that maybe we type too hard and a key may pop off and land near a black person and then they trip on it and hit their head?

if there's one thing a sterile office department is... its safe . Like where's all this danger coming from? woman is acting like she's working in a steel mill or something

You type too hard and are micro harassing other people by your passive aggressive judgement they are not working hard enough since they are not typing as loud.

This is worth repeating.

All of this just because one fragile piece of shit tried to cancel and deplatform a small Brazilian Steam curator for simply pointing out the very public knowledge that SBI worked on a game.

This is the greatest, "You played yourself" in a long time.

Mate think you are white and is working with this brave black woman, and you casually eat white chocolate in your booth, and say "hummn I much prefer white chocolate" for you is ok to say that from your position of white privilege .. but for her is a microagression against the dark chocolate race that will hurt the soul, bring hours of therapy and delay the project as a whole... so in the end you know she's right.

What a fucking joke of a publication. I canceled my subscription a year and a half ago because most of their articles were either barely-disguised ads, or SJW activist shit.

I think the last straw for me was a 2 page article about the ethics of making “Simpsons yellow” the default skin color for emojis.
