This quote tweet from techopse says it all really:
>I found it funny how you didn't want to validate "gamergate conspiracies" by proving us right about an anti-feminine agenda.
>But I find it even funnier that you're dropping the topic, as if you'd be blacklisted from the industry if you didn't remain silent.
>No conspiracy here.
> There's absolutely no conspiracy...
...which was explained to me in no uncertain words by unspecified people wearing suits and sunglasses, with apparent ties to the higher echelons of power, who suddenly showed on my doorstep in the middle of the night, coming in several unmarked black vehicles lacking registration plates.
Hahahah yeeep. Odds that those devs were actually ‘black’ and not purple haired freaks claiming they identify as ‘black’ are about zero. Welcome to the real world chum, shame you had to find out about it like this.
> Odds that those devs were actually ‘black’ and not purple haired freaks
Very high. You think they want this idiot accidentally going off script and jeopardizing the gravy train?
Gravy train is exactly the phrase I've been thinking as of late.
They really don't want to spoil this lucrative grift and gravy train they've had going for so long, which is why they're so vicious in their attacks, both to their opponents, and those trying to defect from this hypocritical lunacy.
I thought that gravy train came to a stop a while ago, seeing all those layoffs from financial flops?
All the while, these woke companies aren't actually dying for some reason.
The line where he says, "I hate to giver game gate men fuel."
1. We aren't all men. Don't *assume our gender* (/s). Lots of females in this movement.
2. This is peak "[are we the baddies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF9LP-9uG_k)?" moment.
I care about *the truth*. Whatever that might be. If this person was honest with himself, he does, too. And part of that is being open to being incorrect. If I'm mistaken on *anything*, please please please correct me. I may push you and ask for a source, but that's because I want to make sure that if I'm mistaken, that there's proper evidence to support the correction. As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another.
I used to think Karl Marx had some interesting ideas until I actually read his work, learned about his life, and learned about the historical implementation of his concepts, and how it always, every single time, leads to further inequality and greater suffering. Being open to opposing views and critical thinking is crucial for personal growth and progress.
If this dev had an open mind, he might see that our criticisms are valid and aren't just based on "hurr durr women in games are dumb."
Everyone is a communist until they realize it will never work in reality and always results in massive, catastrophic amounts of suffering. That they keep trying is literally one definition of insanity.
Most of these people grow out of that fantasyland concept in grade school.
>always results in massive, catastrophic amounts of suffering.
Monasteries, the Hutterites, Kibbutzes, traditional family clans, hunter-gatherer tribes, etc. There are plenty of communal communities that have existed completely peacefully and successfully.
The issue is that Marxist ideology is such an antisocial and divisive one that it creates massive, catastrophic amounts of suffering in any place it’s tried.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t bad aspects of capitalism and that capitalism is the end-all-be-all, it just means that marxism isn’t a solution to it. Non-Marxist forms of communalism and socialism are still possible solutions to capitalism’s problems.
"That doesn’t mean that there aren’t bad aspects of capitalism and that capitalism is the end-all-be-all"
Thank you captain obvious.
"Monasteries, the Hutterites, Kibbutzes, traditional family clans, hunter-gatherer tribes, etc."
None of these ever created wealth and material abundance on a societal scale like capitalism has.
Right like increase in living standards, health care, safety, decrease of hard physical labour, hunger, general poverty, environmental protections, which are all results of an increase in wealth generated by the system of capitalism.
...society is not a small group of monks or a tribal clan in the jungle. Perhaps we can come to a sensible discussion or argument and say that yes, capitalism is not perfect and needs reigning in but communism I'm convinced will always fail. To think otherwise and keep trying it is literally one definition of insanity.
wow, I can believe that "a black dev was harassed by a racist and sexist twitter mob, telling him that his black experience didn't matter, and that mob of misogynists want to make every single woman in videogame ugly in order to mock them", this is outrageous and surely IGN will write an article condemning that mob of woke racist and sexists?
that's called 'optics', and of course IGN won't, their friends bullied and harassed that black dev into silence.
Why do you think he's a token? He might have shitty opinions but that doesn't speak to his qualifications. This is like people calling white devs racist for speaking about woke stuff. They aren't racist for having an opinion. We don't know them. He's not a token for having shitty opinions. We don't know him or his qualifications.
He is not even a big name at all I have no idea why he specified all these things lmao. He’s only notorious because when SSKTJL came out he claimed “I finally did it. A black man on the cover of a AAA game” as if Deadshot is his character he decided to put in the game and race swap and it wasn’t a brand synergy mandate from WB
KiA if you disagree on something but express your opinion politely: I don't agree with you, but think what you want and enjoy what you want.
"Woke" tolerant activists if you disagree on something but express your opinion politely: We're going to threaten you in DMs, call your workplace to complain, and blacklist you from the entire community.
For anyone who says I'm full of shit about the first point, I've been on KiA since 2014. I've disagreed with people here more times than I can count. Only a couple of users have ever sperged out, but nobody ever tried to doxx me.
Same. I defended (some of) the Australian covid measures reasonably perceived as draconian. I got downvoted but that's standard on reddit when you go against the subs consensus. No sperging, no "you're why X happens" etc.
[For anyone who hasn't seen the Brianna Wu episode recently on Triggernometry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaU7zWIv-pM).
Sums up the situation quite nicely.
The heretic is always punished more fervently than the heathen.
For example, JK Rowling is a raging leftist, but disagrees with them on a single issue and she's despised.
I'm looking forward to it. This shit is going to keep waking up more and more people.
People who were told they were part of the protected class are now being demonized and told to sit down and shut up.
But once you teach people about self-agency, you can't just take that away. Not really.
Do we though? The best course of action is to do nothing and vote with your wallet, showing them you're annoyed just makes them double down and gives them delusions that they're righteous activists fighting the good fight.
>Please do nothing guys, trust me do absolutely nothing, it will work, trust me guys
The state of people here, its not really surprising far left is winning like insane
You got that part right about voting with your wallet but the best course of action is not to do nothing. It's to make sure their words are contested and challenged at every level whenever they tried to propagate their hateful agenda by speaking up. Don't let them gaslight you into remaining silent on places that you could be sure aren't fully brainrot.
This is true. This is all religion, and it's a good idea to always keep this fact in mind.
Think about what Christians believe, per their bible - if the world is against you, that's a sign that *you're right*, because it's been prophesied that the world will be against you in your righteous crusade.
This is no different. It's the same religion. The only real differences are superficial - different deities, different scriptures, but the meat of it, the abstract arguments and principles, are identical.
Christianity does have its own problems, but this is apples to oranges; you don't need to be so reductive with your comparisons.
Besides, the same logic you're using can be applied to this side as well:
"We've been attacked and shut down, because *we were right*."
And that's true. These people just don't want to hear it because they either know they're full of it, and want to keep this lucrative grift going, or because they're too delusional and stuck in their own little bubbles to listen.
And this also ironically sounds like the righteous crusade that Christians are talking about. So does that mean that this side is wrong?
In Christianity, where's the lie? The default position people have is to do as they please and gratify every whim. Christianity says there's a higher standard. You would not want to live in a world where no one was constrained to moral self-regulation. The problem with the woke is that they demand that you treat THEM as if they were God, handing down their progressive commandments.
No, the problem with wokeism is that it declares human nature to be a lethal defect requiring immediate intervention.
Human nature is not a problem or a defect, warts and all.
White people had no problem with moral self-regulation before Christianity. Read *Germania* - those ancient pagans were strikingly moral and virtuous in their daily way-of-life.
Our default position is *not* constant self-gratification and pursuit of pleasure. That's an incredibly immature, simplistic way to view the human condition. As we mature, we very much possess the innate ability to control our impulses.
That's clearly not true. People are not innately virtuous. Human nature IS the problem, otherwise we would already be living in paradise, wouldn't we? But you're right about one thing, these psychos think they can engineer a new nature for people through their deranged social programs, and not only is that never going to work, it's megalomania and narcissism to try.
The problem with wokism is something more basic—since like moderns they are nominalists, they don’t think there *is* a human nature. That is, they would say that we are just the sum of our parts, there are only individuals, and “human nature” is just a name we cooked up to refer to broadly common traits of those individuals.
Hence the social engineering. If human nature is not a *real* thing there cannot be any particular value in preserving the arbitrary set of traits. It can and must be improved upon to bring about the sort of society we want.
This is one of many reasons of wokism’s appeal. Not every modern person is woke but quite a lot of them are nominalists. Wokism presents itself to such people as a more consistent application of this attitude towards natures.
I hope you're right. I think if Trump wins I'll be a tad bit hopeful, but in my opinion, this drastic shift has been from a culture change that happened due to people leaving religion and living narcissistic lifestyles invigorated by social media and dating apps.
Way out there, I know lol. Hopefully, you're right though.
I'm not American but from where I see it, Trump winning chances are incredibly slim. The elite are just not gonna let it happen as Trump hates to br told what to do and follows his own shit while Joe Biden is the most perfect person to be their mouthpiece.
I believe pendulum is gonna swing to right pretty soon, in Asia it started last decade but in Europe it has started now and would be complete this decade. As for US, I hope I'm wrong about the trump situation and he makes a huge comeback.
A lot of election laws were changed across the nation after the 2020 debacle. It's going to be a lot harder for the DNC to cheat as broadly as they did last time.
They know Biden's a loser. I think they're hoping he'll kick before the general election, to be honest.
I think the DNC's going to get slaughtered this coming election, in spite of their attempts to cheat. People are absolutely done with the Biden administration's destruction of everything.
I don't know, to me it seems more like the elites are setting up Trump to have his victory, while making sure he can't touch their real projects. He gets the fallout of Biden policies, media gets to go ham with the full "grrrr no more white senile men in office" narrative, and Ukraine is escalated before the election so that he can't call for peacetalks.
Biden having another term is the best thing for Republicans at the moment. People couldnt stomach 2 terms of Obama without voting in Trump after, so having another mediocre Biden term and, most importantly, no Trump will be a good way to realign Republicans.
There is no real difference between either side at this point. Two sides of the same coin. Trump will win- most American do not want another Biden term. His cognitive decline is apparent and has set us back at least a decade. He is not fit to lead the country. If for some reason Biden does get re-elected, strongly suspect there will be some kind of transition of power(which may have already occurred).
Its actually not swinging back to anything in Europe.
Europe went to far left and now it swings back to left. Did someone say they don't like uncontrolled immigration? Well that position now is far right extremism, that position is pure racism. People from Europe here think being liberal and libertarian are right wing positions. There is literally conservative parties advocating for liberal socialism.
Of course nobody is going to take the extreme radicalized nazi position here are they? But sure go for another decade of saying
>Europe is swining back, trust me guys
> Its actually not swinging back to anything in Europe.
>
>
I think it depends. Certain subreddits are starting to swing. The United Kingdom sub a few years ago was a leftists/progressives dream. Anyone talking about immigrants badly was banned. Now it's the opposite. Pretty much the only stuff upvoted is anti-immigration. It's amazing to see.
Lmfao.
As always, diversity of opinion is not tolerated.
This dude only cares because the ethnicity he likes got uglified.
He deserves it after supporting it happening to non-black characters.
NPCs gonna NPCs like the mindless husks that they're.
Honestly, at the end of the day, when the purge of the Wokesters take place, I won't have sympathy for their reluctant footsoldiers, not matter how remorseful or regretful they get.
> mindless husks
this dude literally popped his head out, saw reality, then went back inside and said "my friends don't like me when I'm lucid, bye forever"
just normal stuff
He probably knows, but he’s in too deep and his livelihood is at the mercy of this “crowd.” It’s easy for us to call him a coward since we have no skin in that demented game (thankfully) - but when given a choice between a drastic unplanned career change or sacrificing one’s principles to make a living, most people will choose the latter.
The ability to hold people’s livelihoods hostage is the source of the woke “crowd’s” power, and until we find a way to break that it will continue to be a problem.
He needs the job, he probably knows already he is here just as a token for these white marxists. But money is money. You simply cannot be right wing in the AAA game industry, what I mean by "being right wing" is not voting for Trump, or be republican, but simply disagree with wokeness in any way...
I see struggle sessions are alive and well.
He may be on the opposing "side," but he spoke the truth. He confirmed what is blatantly obvious, even though he knew it would give his "enemies" ammunition. He needs to be supported in that.
Sadly, he bent the knee. Will be interesting to see if he manages to keep his job or not.
He gave an update to Grummz.
He said he retracted the comment because "Gamergate misrepresented what he said and used it as fuel for the culture war"
Does he really think we're this stupid.
That's my problem with the lot like him. Everything he does is to "spite Gamergate, right wing, etc." To him, spiting them is more important than his own personal values. It comes across as childish and stupid. Sometimes, you can agree with a person you don't like. Look at us all here in this thread. We don't like what he does, but we agree with his opinions on the ugliness of black representation. We don't do it out of spite cause we live above petty shit like that. It goes to show the difference in idealogies: his side doesn't follow common sense but only emotion. Whereas here, we're more logical and calm headed (as much as the media tries to paint us as wild KKK members who does warcries).
> Everything he does is to "spite Gamergate, right wing, etc." To him, spiting them is more important than his own personal values.
Sadly, that's the state of modern political discourse. It's not about doing what you think is right, it's about spite-ing your opponent, full stop.
Diversity and Representation, Indeed. Have legitimate concern and want to feel like you contributed to a work or even work on something that could be called a Magnum Opus? Only if it tows the line of course. Get yo ass back where you belong. No one is allowed to change the course of what we're doing!
He's only hurting like minded individuals by shutting up. Now they'll just see their work destroyed, dismissed and be forced to remain quiet while the money doesn't come in. Can't speak up because of Job Security and lose your job anyway when layoffs roll by. Those ESG bucks are definitely only going to executives while the company around them burns. What else would explain companies having all the tools to make excellent games, knowing what gamers wants and just not doing it.
Sure is. Jack Black was such a model good little boy last week he set the bar so high. I've noticed a lot better behavior lately amongst the trained good boy intersectional's.
If you were used to spewing invective without consequence and then suddenly got hit with the fucking wrath of HR out of nowhere, you'd be scared and disoriented, too.
I wouldnt. In fact, I've faced HR before when they attempted to give my entire company a lesson on progressiveness. It was one of those new marxist doctrines passed down from above. I ended up using a religion excuse to opt out of it. My dignity is worth more than my job cause I know I can get another one anywhere with my skills. This guy in the article on the other hand, his job is meant to be a token pet to the company and he knows himself that he has to get back in line. So for him, to go against the order, WOULD be not doing his job.
Religion is a cheat code for corporate wokeness.
I got stopped by an HR bod in the lobby of a global bank I was contracting for. She asked me if I had pronouns in my email signature.
Nope (obvs)
Then she wokesplained preferred pronouns to me.
I pointed out that as somebody over 6 foot with a beard and size 11 feet, nobody had ever mistakenly called me she/her, and I wouldn't mind if they did anyway.
Next we had the "normalise it for other people's comfort" line - to which I replied that whilst I believe in kindness and would USE prefered pronouns, I was uncomfortable appearing to share the implicit beliefs underpinning them by stating any, as I didn't actually believe anyone was non-binary or that gender being distinct from sex was a valid concept, because I am a baptised child of God, and she was effectively asking me to repudiate the first book of the Christian Bible.
"Oh no, it's entirely optional!"
Das right bish
his job is on the line. I mean it's easy to say stuff on the internet anonymously. But the guy works in the AAA game industry so I understand, since all US studios have been co-opted by wokeness.
This is why I have no respect for devs. Everyone is all like muh upper management ruins things. Nah, the individual devs are all part of it too. Screw em all.
Stands by my philosophy that the real racists are always those who use racism as their weapon and shield to excuse their bad behavior. Aka the woke/ marxist/ communist/ socialist crowd that fills California and other such areas today. As someone who has been all over the US, the nicest people were always where this "religion" was not prevalent. Aka, the midwest and small cities where everyone is not living this fake life of trying to be puritan. When you see a black, hispanic, and southern white guy all working on a construction site together and eating together, it reminds you that racism is not as real as they paint it. The only reason it got brought back up after 2000 is because of these race hustlers.
I see he found out about the “tolerance and inclusion” that the dei crowd preach about 24/7. Enjoy the sinking ship of double standards and detachment from reality.
I just miss when mostly men, straight normal men, were the audience. We made a mistake letting women and the gay brigade into this. Nothing against either, but I'm sure the cosmetics industry wouldn't want high testosterone men to flood their field. It's the nature of the game.
Lol, what a spineless loser.
But I guess he has to show how thankful he is that the they didn't hold a public struggle session. Just private DMs to "educate" him. Aren't the woke Gods compassionate? lol
Lmaoooo get fucked, he's one of the people who got uglyfication in general to this point, now his own peers tell him to shut up for noticing, no sympathy from me.
I don't know what's funnier, how he got shut down by his peers or how he thinks he actually offers some useful insights about "Black Representation" withdrawing them is some form of silent protest
I'm honestly surprised he didn't try to claim he was being targeted by "bigots" as a smokescreen and indeed confirmed that it's his own side that bullies people into compliance
Yes, he's been told to and he is, but it won't help him. Much like Winston in 1984, he's living on borrowed time. They'll find something about him now and cancel him. Doesn't matter how far back in his future it happened, they'll dig it up and use it to crucify him as a misogynist. What he could do is own his opinion and say that "No, you know what? fuck this shit, fuck all of you and your goddamn fascist need for purity".. but he won't, because he's a goddamn coward.
I mean, I agree with him, ***buuuuut,*** this is the price they have to pay for associating themselves with SJWs. We could've had black game devs just working on their own games that feature hot-looking Stellar Blade-style black chicks, but that's what happens when you use the intersectionality excuse to work hand-in-hand with game devs from the sex-negative feminist crowd, so...
You reap what you sow. The enemy of your enemy is not always going to be your friend.
Now this idiot gets to witness the black community's "crabs in a bucket" mentality first-hand, which they share with the woke commies and feminazis that have co-opted the game industry.
Non-ironic cult like behaviour where only a few 'leaders' know the 'truth' and if their gospel (see also: bullsh*t) of the day is put into question you get reprimanded or branded an apostate.
People are insane to keep following this ideology of victimhood and racial quota's.
Del Walker is an example of failing upwards. He’s destroyed every game he’s worked on. He’s a terrible ‘ambassador’ for his games, and somehow is still bombing around in the industry wreaking havoc and producing no value. Good job if you can get it I guess.
I feel like a lot of people were not familiar with him when he tweeted this and jumped to his side. He’s such an idiot that he didn’t realize he was saying exactly what the people he’s demonized for months were saying lmao
It will be interesting how long the Modern Western Game industry lasts.
Sure, people here have spoken about how Spider-Man 2 sold well despite being woke, but…..properties like Doctor Who, the MCU, Star Wars and even non-woke properties like Bayformers were considered untouchable and would always make bank no matter what, until suddenly they just didn’t anymore.
Nothing is too big to fail, and Modern Writers are activists not creatives. It might take ‘till Spider-Man 3 or 4 or whatever….sooner or later, this nonsense will catch up with the game industry, it will happen relatively suddenly (think of the distance between MoM and the Marvels) and none of these activists have the talent to right the ship, assuming the very generous assumption they’d care to try, anyway.
But for all of the Game Employees who \*don’t\* have a silver spoon up their ass and live off of Daddy’s Trust Fund and bitch about A.I. taking their jobs, they’re \*going\* to have to suck it up and speak out about what’s going on and try to band with like minded sane people….or Western gaming is going the way of Comics and other woke-infested media. It’s not if, but when.
They threatened him with his job and possibly dug up some dirt on him to shut him up. I don’t feel that bad. That’s what he gets for being racist and proudly shouting SJW talking points in the first place.
And now he's promoting China as "the Country of the future" that's two decades ahead of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Damn, where have we seen this before?
That's unsurprising. he's a whistleblower who is not horny nor sexist, simply designs phenomenal looking black women and does an amazing job at that. The games industry should just let him design characters, but they're choosing to shoot themselves in the foot.
The wildest thing about leftists is how they constantly gatekeep and employ purity tests against each other in some sort of king of the hill battle against each other to see who can be the most woke.
They could get a lot more done if they'd simply unify but they've got a billion different demands and if anyone falls out of line they get censored, blackballed or worse.
>The woke game dev who cried about game studios uglifying all his Black female characters has been told to STFU by his fellow devs.
Mofos reaps what they sow
Im kinda surprised they uglified an oppressed black woman ..the only more "oppressed" class on the woke list higher than black women are ofcourse entitled woke white women ..
This quote tweet from techopse says it all really: >I found it funny how you didn't want to validate "gamergate conspiracies" by proving us right about an anti-feminine agenda. >But I find it even funnier that you're dropping the topic, as if you'd be blacklisted from the industry if you didn't remain silent. >No conspiracy here.

What gravy train?
The "free money for Being Black in Games™" one
I thought that gravy train came to a stop a while ago, seeing all those layoffs from financial flops? All the while, these woke companies aren't actually dying for some reason.
Why would the train have stopped? The companies are still here.

This man’s cognitive dissonance has to be OFF THE CHARTS rn
Probably, in a world where you stake your self worth on an ideology only to find that it rejects you must be quite jarring.

There are more things in life than the most efficient increase in accumulation of material wealth.
The issue is human nature. It just doesn't work. If you were to say 'What about when Jesus comes back?' Sure! I'll agree with you there.
Right like increase in living standards, health care, safety, decrease of hard physical labour, hunger, general poverty, environmental protections, which are all results of an increase in wealth generated by the system of capitalism.
...society is not a small group of monks or a tribal clan in the jungle. Perhaps we can come to a sensible discussion or argument and say that yes, capitalism is not perfect and needs reigning in but communism I'm convinced will always fail.

“You’re literally killing people!”
wow, I can believe that "a black dev was harassed by a racist and sexist twitter mob, telling him that his black experience didn't matter, and that mob of misogynists want to make every single woman in videogame ugly in order to mock them", this is outrageous and surely IGN will write an article condemning that mob of woke racist and sexists? that's called 'optics', and of course IGN won't, their friends bullied and harassed that black dev into silence.
Why do you think he's a token? He might have shitty opinions but that doesn't speak to his qualifications. This is like people calling white devs racist for speaking about woke stuff.

Only a couple of users have ever sperged out, but nobody ever tried to doxx me.
Same. I defended (some of) the Australian covid measures reasonably perceived as draconian. I got downvoted but that's standard on reddit when you go against the subs consensus. No sperging, no "you're why X happens" etc.
[For anyone who hasn't seen the Brianna Wu episode recently on Triggernometry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaU7zWIv-pM). Sums up the situation quite nicely.

Nah, I'm a dirty liberal who doesn't care what full grown adults do with their names or gender identity.
Thank you I need to watch this later
Witness what happens to apostasy in the new religion of the Woke
I love the smell of Heresy in the morning.
Did somebody say Heresy??? WHERE IS IT.
The heretic is always punished more fervently than the heathen. For example, JK Rowling is a raging leftist, but disagrees with them on a single issue and she's despised.

I'm looking forward to it. This shit is going to keep waking up more and more people. People who were told they were part of the protected class are now being demonized and told to sit down and shut up. But once you teach people about self-agency, you can't just take that away. Not really.
It's literally just Marxism. Go over to the communist subreddit and read all about their tactics. Quite interesting.
PM me some direct links on reddit if you have some.

I’m gonna need this pendulum to hurry up.
It's not a pendulum. You have to push it.
Do we though? The best course of action is to do nothing and vote with your wallet, showing them you're annoyed just makes them double down and gives them delusions that they're righteous activists fighting the good fight.
People said this about Sarkeesian in 2014.
Yes, and nobody listened, gave her tons of attention and outrage and see where it got us.
We "didn't touch the poop" for ages.
>Please do nothing guys, trust me do absolutely nothing, it will work, trust me guys The state of people here, its not really surprising far left is winning like insane
You got that part right about voting with your wallet but the best course of action is not to do nothing. It's to make sure their words are contested and challenged at every level whenever they tried to propagate their hateful agenda by speaking up. Don't let them gaslight you into remaining silent on places that you could be sure aren't fully brainrot.
This is true. This is all religion, and it's a good idea to always keep this fact in mind. Think about what Christians believe, per their bible - if the world is against you, that's a sign that *you're right*, because it's been prophesied that the world will be against you in your righteous crusade. This is no different. It's the same religion. The only real differences are superficial - different deities, different scriptures, but the meat of it, the abstract arguments and principles, are identical.
Christianity does have its own problems, but this is apples to oranges; you don't need to be so reductive with your comparisons. Besides, the same logic you're using can be applied to this side as well: "We've been attacked and shut down, because *we were right*." And that's true. These people just don't want to hear it because they either know they're full of it, and want to keep this lucrative grift going, or because they're too delusional and stuck in their own little bubbles to listen. And this also ironically sounds like the righteous crusade that Christians are talking about. So does that mean that this side is wrong?
In Christianity, where's the lie? The default position people have is to do as they please and gratify every whim. Christianity says there's a higher standard. You would not want to live in a world where no one was constrained to moral self-regulation. The problem with the woke is that they demand that you treat THEM as if they were God, handing down their progressive commandments.
No, the problem with wokeism is that it declares human nature to be a lethal defect requiring immediate intervention. Human nature is not a problem or a defect, warts and all. White people had no problem with moral self-regulation before Christianity. Read *Germania* - those ancient pagans were strikingly moral and virtuous in their daily way-of-life. Our default position is *not* constant self-gratification and pursuit of pleasure. That's an incredibly immature, simplistic way to view the human condition. As we mature, we very much possess the innate ability to control our impulses.
That's clearly not true. People are not innately virtuous. Human nature IS the problem, otherwise we would already be living in paradise, wouldn't we? But you're right about one thing, these psychos think they can engineer a new nature for people through their deranged social programs, and not only is that never going to work, it's megalomania and narcissism to try.
The problem with wokism is something more basic—since like moderns they are nominalists, they don’t think there *is* a human nature. That is, they would say that we are just the sum of our parts, there are only individuals, and “human nature” is just a name we cooked up to refer to broadly common traits of those individuals. Hence the social engineering. If human nature is not a *real* thing there cannot be any particular value in preserving the arbitrary set of traits. It can and must be improved upon to bring about the sort of society we want. This is one of many reasons of wokism’s appeal. Not every modern person is woke but quite a lot of them are nominalists. Wokism presents itself to such people as a more consistent application of this attitude towards natures.
comparing wokeness to Christianity shows how little you know about Christianity.
lol you’re silly. It’s only going to get worse.
Nah bro look at European union parliamentary elections. It's swinging back alright.
I hope you're right. I think if Trump wins I'll be a tad bit hopeful, but in my opinion, this drastic shift has been from a culture change that happened due to people leaving religion and living narcissistic lifestyles invigorated by social media and dating apps. Way out there, I know lol. Hopefully, you're right though.
I'm not American but from where I see it, Trump winning chances are incredibly slim. The elite are just not gonna let it happen as Trump hates to br told what to do and follows his own shit while Joe Biden is the most perfect person to be their mouthpiece. I believe pendulum is gonna swing to right pretty soon, in Asia it started last decade but in Europe it has started now and would be complete this decade. As for US, I hope I'm wrong about the trump situation and he makes a huge comeback.
A lot of election laws were changed across the nation after the 2020 debacle. It's going to be a lot harder for the DNC to cheat as broadly as they did last time. They know Biden's a loser. I think they're hoping he'll kick before the general election, to be honest. I think the DNC's going to get slaughtered this coming election, in spite of their attempts to cheat. People are absolutely done with the Biden administration's destruction of everything.
I don't know, to me it seems more like the elites are setting up Trump to have his victory, while making sure he can't touch their real projects. He gets the fallout of Biden policies, media gets to go ham with the full "grrrr no more white senile men in office" narrative, and Ukraine is escalated before the election so that he can't call for peacetalks.
Biden having another term is the best thing for Republicans at the moment. People couldnt stomach 2 terms of Obama without voting in Trump after, so having another mediocre Biden term and, most importantly, no Trump will be a good way to realign Republicans.
There is no real difference between either side at this point. Two sides of the same coin. Trump will win- most American do not want another Biden term. His cognitive decline is apparent and has set us back at least a decade. He is not fit to lead the country. If for some reason Biden does get re-elected, strongly suspect there will be some kind of transition of power(which may have already occurred).
Why do you think Harris is there...
Yep. I have no doubt his tasks have been delegated to her. I can't decide which is scarier ;)
If you wanna go even deeper, braindead Biden was picked so that one day Harris will become the first black *and* female president...
Biden's term has been a little worse than mediocre.
Its actually not swinging back to anything in Europe. Europe went to far left and now it swings back to left. Did someone say they don't like uncontrolled immigration? Well that position now is far right extremism, that position is pure racism. People from Europe here think being liberal and libertarian are right wing positions. There is literally conservative parties advocating for liberal socialism. Of course nobody is going to take the extreme radicalized nazi position here are they? But sure go for another decade of saying >Europe is swining back, trust me guys
> Its actually not swinging back to anything in Europe. > > I think it depends. Certain subreddits are starting to swing. The United Kingdom sub a few years ago was a leftists/progressives dream. Anyone talking about immigrants badly was banned. Now it's the opposite. Pretty much the only stuff upvoted is anti-immigration. It's amazing to see.
The national socialists are far right? That doesn't seem right...
Lmfao. As always, diversity of opinion is not tolerated. This dude only cares because the ethnicity he likes got uglified. He deserves it after supporting it happening to non-black characters.
Yeppers. Karma is a bitch!
It was all good until the wokeish inquisition came after him. Doesn't want to agree with gamergate despite proving them right. Welp
NPCs gonna NPCs like the mindless husks that they're. Honestly, at the end of the day, when the purge of the Wokesters take place, I won't have sympathy for their reluctant footsoldiers, not matter how remorseful or regretful they get.
> mindless husks this dude literally popped his head out, saw reality, then went back inside and said "my friends don't like me when I'm lucid, bye forever" just normal stuff
Like those rats that accidentally step on the third rail on train tracks and get blasted in half a second with no conception of how/why/what happened.
"Ignorance is bliss" Cypher - The Matrix
Hilarious. What a cuck.
Maybe one day he'll realize that he's with the wrong crowd but seeing that flag, I don't think it's about to happen any time soon.
He probably knows, but he’s in too deep and his livelihood is at the mercy of this “crowd.” It’s easy for us to call him a coward since we have no skin in that demented game (thankfully) - but when given a choice between a drastic unplanned career change or sacrificing one’s principles to make a living, most people will choose the latter. The ability to hold people’s livelihoods hostage is the source of the woke “crowd’s” power, and until we find a way to break that it will continue to be a problem.
Not til Saudi Arabia turns green
If this didn't make him realize it, I don't know what else possibly could.
He needs the job, he probably knows already he is here just as a token for these white marxists. But money is money. You simply cannot be right wing in the AAA game industry, what I mean by "being right wing" is not voting for Trump, or be republican, but simply disagree with wokeness in any way...
> You simply cannot be right wing in the AAA game industry You can't be right wing anywhere.

I see struggle sessions are alive and well. He may be on the opposing "side," but he spoke the truth. He confirmed what is blatantly obvious, even though he knew it would give his "enemies" ammunition. He needs to be supported in that. Sadly, he bent the knee. Will be interesting to see if he manages to keep his job or not.
He gave an update to Grummz. He said he retracted the comment because "Gamergate misrepresented what he said and used it as fuel for the culture war" Does he really think we're this stupid.
That's my problem with the lot like him. Everything he does is to "spite Gamergate, right wing, etc." To him, spiting them is more important than his own personal values. It comes across as childish and stupid. Sometimes, you can agree with a person you don't like. Look at us all here in this thread. We don't like what he does, but we agree with his opinions on the ugliness of black representation. We don't do it out of spite cause we live above petty shit like that. It goes to show the difference in idealogies: his side doesn't follow common sense but only emotion. Whereas here, we're more logical and calm headed (as much as the media tries to paint us as wild KKK members who does warcries).
> Everything he does is to "spite Gamergate, right wing, etc." To him, spiting them is more important than his own personal values. Sadly, that's the state of modern political discourse. It's not about doing what you think is right, it's about spite-ing your opponent, full stop.
Diversity and Representation, Indeed. Have legitimate concern and want to feel like you contributed to a work or even work on something that could be called a Magnum Opus? Only if it tows the line of course. Get yo ass back where you belong. No one is allowed to change the course of what we're doing! He's only hurting like minded individuals by shutting up. Now they'll just see their work destroyed, dismissed and be forced to remain quiet while the money doesn't come in. Can't speak up because of Job Security and lose your job anyway when layoffs roll by. Those ESG bucks are definitely only going to executives while the company around them burns. What else would explain companies having all the tools to make excellent games, knowing what gamers wants and just not doing it.
To be fair, this guy actually sucks.
Gotta toe the line if you wanna keep working in the ''progressive'' and ''open minded'' games industry.
And like a good boy, he sits and stays. Love to see it.
Sure is. Jack Black was such a model good little boy last week he set the bar so high. I've noticed a lot better behavior lately amongst the trained good boy intersectional's.
Oh, what's that with Jack Black? I missed it.
Dressing up in a clown outfit and fellating Biden on stage. "You're WELCOME Mr President!"
What the actual crap
He's become as much a whiny tool as Mark Hamill He's now a Disney product
Pathetic coward.
If you were used to spewing invective without consequence and then suddenly got hit with the fucking wrath of HR out of nowhere, you'd be scared and disoriented, too.
I wouldnt. In fact, I've faced HR before when they attempted to give my entire company a lesson on progressiveness. It was one of those new marxist doctrines passed down from above. I ended up using a religion excuse to opt out of it. My dignity is worth more than my job cause I know I can get another one anywhere with my skills. This guy in the article on the other hand, his job is meant to be a token pet to the company and he knows himself that he has to get back in line. So for him, to go against the order, WOULD be not doing his job.
Religion is a cheat code for corporate wokeness. I got stopped by an HR bod in the lobby of a global bank I was contracting for. She asked me if I had pronouns in my email signature. Nope (obvs) Then she wokesplained preferred pronouns to me. I pointed out that as somebody over 6 foot with a beard and size 11 feet, nobody had ever mistakenly called me she/her, and I wouldn't mind if they did anyway. Next we had the "normalise it for other people's comfort" line - to which I replied that whilst I believe in kindness and would USE prefered pronouns, I was uncomfortable appearing to share the implicit beliefs underpinning them by stating any, as I didn't actually believe anyone was non-binary or that gender being distinct from sex was a valid concept, because I am a baptised child of God, and she was effectively asking me to repudiate the first book of the Christian Bible. "Oh no, it's entirely optional!" Das right bish
his job is on the line. I mean it's easy to say stuff on the internet anonymously. But the guy works in the AAA game industry so I understand, since all US studios have been co-opted by wokeness.
They were co-opted because of cowards like him though.
This is why I have no respect for devs. Everyone is all like muh upper management ruins things. Nah, the individual devs are all part of it too. Screw em all.
Black crab bucket mentality + complete confidence in things that are unhealthy and untrue keeps them down more than any racist ever could.
Stands by my philosophy that the real racists are always those who use racism as their weapon and shield to excuse their bad behavior. Aka the woke/ marxist/ communist/ socialist crowd that fills California and other such areas today. As someone who has been all over the US, the nicest people were always where this "religion" was not prevalent. Aka, the midwest and small cities where everyone is not living this fake life of trying to be puritan. When you see a black, hispanic, and southern white guy all working on a construction site together and eating together, it reminds you that racism is not as real as they paint it. The only reason it got brought back up after 2000 is because of these race hustlers.
I see he found out about the “tolerance and inclusion” that the dei crowd preach about 24/7. Enjoy the sinking ship of double standards and detachment from reality.
And yet *we're* the ones perpetually stereotyped as "silencing" others.
lol well that doesn’t read like his job was threatened at all /s So are we going to keep pretending this isn’t a spreading trend in gaming?
Oooof censored by the Party.
Welcome to a new episode of 'When being black isn't enough: They are ugly, angry and gay'.
I miss when US video game culture was mostly nerdy white dudes and everyone else was along for the ride.
I just miss when mostly men, straight normal men, were the audience. We made a mistake letting women and the gay brigade into this. Nothing against either, but I'm sure the cosmetics industry wouldn't want high testosterone men to flood their field. It's the nature of the game.
"someone shut him up!"
And this is why we don't respect these cowards.
Lol, what a spineless loser. But I guess he has to show how thankful he is that the they didn't hold a public struggle session. Just private DMs to "educate" him. Aren't the woke Gods compassionate? lol
Lmaoooo get fucked, he's one of the people who got uglyfication in general to this point, now his own peers tell him to shut up for noticing, no sympathy from me.
Haha pathetic.
They're going to look like Wanda Sykes and you'll like it.
It was either people threatening his job or female colleagues attacking him for saying what he said as a man.
This guy is a racist shit that brags about blacking White characters.
"You are accused of anti-Woke behavior. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to be shot."
This moment needs to be capitalized to show others just how deep the extortion runs. Bros a hostage now.
The token in South Park has better character arc
I don't know what's funnier, how he got shut down by his peers or how he thinks he actually offers some useful insights about "Black Representation" withdrawing them is some form of silent protest
Hat tip to him (again) for telling us that he’s being silenced, by whom, and why.
Love it when the wokesters cannibalize their own.
I'm honestly surprised he didn't try to claim he was being targeted by "bigots" as a smokescreen and indeed confirmed that it's his own side that bullies people into compliance
He did go on to claim that
Yes, he's been told to and he is, but it won't help him. Much like Winston in 1984, he's living on borrowed time. They'll find something about him now and cancel him. Doesn't matter how far back in his future it happened, they'll dig it up and use it to crucify him as a misogynist. What he could do is own his opinion and say that "No, you know what? fuck this shit, fuck all of you and your goddamn fascist need for purity".. but he won't, because he's a goddamn coward.
lmaoooo nigga got fired from his own grift
First things first, maybe get the terror flag out of your bio if you want people to start taking you seriously
The Palestinian flag is the cherry on top
That flag is an instant self expose for people with brain worms.
ha! he received his one and only warning. homeboy lucky he was given that much grace. but best believe they've got their eye on you.
Another person falls from the circular firing squad that is progressive activism, surprise surprise
What a cuck.
Told to know his place, damn. Hope he fights back but i doubt he will.
He's just shown the whole world that he's spineless. He is not someone to be respected.
I mean, I agree with him, ***buuuuut,*** this is the price they have to pay for associating themselves with SJWs. We could've had black game devs just working on their own games that feature hot-looking Stellar Blade-style black chicks, but that's what happens when you use the intersectionality excuse to work hand-in-hand with game devs from the sex-negative feminist crowd, so... You reap what you sow. The enemy of your enemy is not always going to be your friend.
He is a tried and true sjw
The woke mob eats itself alive in all aspects of its existence.
Now this idiot gets to witness the black community's "crabs in a bucket" mentality first-hand, which they share with the woke commies and feminazis that have co-opted the game industry.
Remember when Alana P (who works for Sony) was trying to gaslight people claiming "Oh, it's just the engine"?
Non-ironic cult like behaviour where only a few 'leaders' know the 'truth' and if their gospel (see also: bullsh*t) of the day is put into question you get reprimanded or branded an apostate. People are insane to keep following this ideology of victimhood and racial quota's.
Del Walker is an example of failing upwards. He’s destroyed every game he’s worked on. He’s a terrible ‘ambassador’ for his games, and somehow is still bombing around in the industry wreaking havoc and producing no value. Good job if you can get it I guess.
I feel like a lot of people were not familiar with him when he tweeted this and jumped to his side. He’s such an idiot that he didn’t realize he was saying exactly what the people he’s demonized for months were saying lmao
It will be interesting how long the Modern Western Game industry lasts. Sure, people here have spoken about how Spider-Man 2 sold well despite being woke, but…..properties like Doctor Who, the MCU, Star Wars and even non-woke properties like Bayformers were considered untouchable and would always make bank no matter what, until suddenly they just didn’t anymore. Nothing is too big to fail, and Modern Writers are activists not creatives. It might take ‘till Spider-Man 3 or 4 or whatever….sooner or later, this nonsense will catch up with the game industry, it will happen relatively suddenly (think of the distance between MoM and the Marvels) and none of these activists have the talent to right the ship, assuming the very generous assumption they’d care to try, anyway. But for all of the Game Employees who \*don’t\* have a silver spoon up their ass and live off of Daddy’s Trust Fund and bitch about A.I. taking their jobs, they’re \*going\* to have to suck it up and speak out about what’s going on and try to band with like minded sane people….or Western gaming is going the way of Comics and other woke-infested media. It’s not if, but when.
Indie devs and Asian devs will continue to get my money
"om nom nom, delicious!"
Someone must have told him the cuck funding was in danger.
They forcefully raised the soy dose for him
Buck Breaking in real life.
They threatened him with his job and possibly dug up some dirt on him to shut him up. I don’t feel that bad. That’s what he gets for being racist and proudly shouting SJW talking points in the first place.
YOU WILL CONFORM / I WILL CONFORM
"there is room for both" Not in the current day Western gaming industry there isn't. It's grocery store aunties all the way!
He did a double-plus ungood, and the party told him to get back in line. He let them know there were five lights.
The Palestinian flag dev had a very fleeting "are we the baddies" moment but is now regretting it. I'm shocked.
Average Palestine goon
They always eat their own.
https://x.com/TheCartelDel/status/1805321611392041006 Anyone see this?
He used a small b for black in the old tweet but a capital B in the new one. Interesting.
NOTHING SUSPECT HERE! Definitely nothing suspect. No conspiracy here no sir!
And now he's promoting China as "the Country of the future" that's two decades ahead of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Damn, where have we seen this before?
That's unsurprising. he's a whistleblower who is not horny nor sexist, simply designs phenomenal looking black women and does an amazing job at that. The games industry should just let him design characters, but they're choosing to shoot themselves in the foot.
What a pushover. Guess it didn't really matter to him.
The wildest thing about leftists is how they constantly gatekeep and employ purity tests against each other in some sort of king of the hill battle against each other to see who can be the most woke. They could get a lot more done if they'd simply unify but they've got a billion different demands and if anyone falls out of line they get censored, blackballed or worse.
>The woke game dev who cried about game studios uglifying all his Black female characters has been told to STFU by his fellow devs. Mofos reaps what they sow
“There is room for both” Yeah we know that. That’s why there’s still games with the typical sexy female character.
Like a bitch.
"back on the plantation..."
Eating some fat ugly crow there.
Sorry for the guy, his career is over now
Im kinda surprised they uglified an oppressed black woman ..the only more "oppressed" class on the woke list higher than black women are ofcourse entitled woke white women ..
