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.

Yeah... this came up on one of my servers a few days ago; looking at the list of projects the company says they've been involved with, people thinking that those games suck is kind of understandable? but they're zoomed way too far in, and the games definitely don't suck for the reasons they think they do.

like, i have yet to see anybody truly defend 2022's Saints Row reboot, but having played the thing myself for like 2 hours, the diversity and equity is absolutely not why it's less good than the older ones.

I saw a link to a youtube video the other day titled something like "creative censorship and why sweet baby inc should die". I actually clicked through for like 2 seconds to find some guy ranting incoherently, go figure. I am astounded at how effective it can be to try to weaponize ignorance; you'd think there was an obvious upper limit beyond which returns are massively diminished, because there's so much information out there. And yet.

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
