man. very depressing how active literal gamergate-type elements still are. I know they never went away but this level of organization.. whoof. I'm glad it's being discussed openly because this sort of thing needs active fighting back against.

My CEO, an otherwise agreeable fellow, shared an Asmongold clip yesterday titled "Sweet Baby Inc CEO Is Nuts." He then followed up with a link to Niche Gamer titled "Sweet Baby employees incite harassment campaign against Steam curator." And my CEO was doing his job correctly! He was simply looking into the latest drama in our industry and seeing how that could affect our company's long-term strategy.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what these fascists want. They're creating all this smoke out of nothing to steer the industry away from telling inclusive stories with diverse characters. They're lashing out because they're losing the culture war. Spider-Man 2 sold 10 million copies, for example. Sad and angry people are going after a soft target like a small narrative design studio to try and stir up a GamerGate 2.0 so they can RETVRN to the glory days of their moms cutting off the crust on their sandwiches for them while they play their vidya gaems.

I got to see some folks I follow who I thought were left leaning out themselves as crypto-chuds with the recent news though. "well now that the news of a single company being responsible for diversity in games has been outed, you should know that blackrock invests in sweet baby inc. and it's actually blackrock and also vanguard who are responsible for the forced diversity in games, and we all know who their CEOs are"

this article is important but also just. incredibly depressing. why are Gamers like this? why are they so vitriolic? i don't get it. it makes me sad. it makes me wonder if i'd get harassed for working on something that weirdo nerds consider "woke"

We spent literally decades actively encouraging the worst kinds of toxic masculinity in gaming culture, while actively neglecting and even decrying any attempt to moderate gaming spaces.

Gamergate is what it is because the games industry made it that way.

i just knew sweet baby from them making some cool games for the playdate
its cool that theyre consulting on bigger games, i didnt even know that
it sucks that people just think theyre bad for no reason??
weh
