"and me personally, i have to remember what my piece is ultimately about, and it's not about providing a timeline, it's bigger than that, it's about explaining"

This is where so many of these idiot journalists go wrong. They think they're smart and informed enough to "explain" the "bigger" things. And that the facts of anything shouldn't get in the way of that.

Everything this guy says it's invalidated by him including the prequels as something that wasn't the beginning of the end for Star Wars.

The prequels are fucking awful and any attempt by retarded nerds to say otherwise in aid of their current retarded culture war is just fucking retarded.

Star Wars has always been for kids and nobs, and the prequels didn’t change that.  Great original scores, though.

OT was good allround adventure flicks. Samurai cowboys in space. PT turned it into kids flicks.

All those in the picture on the right are Japanese.

I agree. Remove all JAPS! 

[D3RANG3D]

If they are all Japanese doesn't it make it 100% diverse.

[HaughtyFrank]

It seems very dumb to claim ownership of a deeply Japanese franchise and to completely ignore any cultural context. "The world we see" is San Francisco is not the same "world we see" in Tokyo

These people are so weird about demographics. It's like they want everything to look like a breakdown of the global (or national) averages even though those averages probably don't exist anywhere.

[Polident]

The end point to their concept of diversity is conformity.

Also, using worldwide population stats is…amazing. The blunt way of saying this is some groups are over represented in media. In a way that favors his angle. The charitable reading is he’s dumb and it’s poorly thought out. More and more it seems there’s an insidious bend to this stuff. Like some have openly advocated for 2+2=5. Everybody knows it’s nonsense. But you’re meant to play along for some reason.

[Eric Cartman]

For their faults, the prequels movies did appeal to kids and led to a boom of other media, all the games and Clone Wars show. The whole reevaluation of them is from those kids who (physically) grew up.

The newer stuff, I don’t know who the target audience is. They’re all gen x and old millennials making this stuff for other people like them.

As far as I can tell, people on Twitter who will go "HAHA YAAAAAS QUEEN, SLAY, SUCK IT CHUDS!"

[Eric Cartman]

Leaving aside the fact this dude cares so much about creators he didn't even stump up the cash for a fucking non-watermarked stock image, you have to be pretty sheltered to think that "the world as we see it" represents anywhere other than the most hipsterish gentrified locations in the worlds biggest metropolitan cities or the very largest most international student campuses

Why is all DEI art (as in the drawings on there) utter shit, there was a similar style on the pointless online course I had to do for work last year

Spicy thread about that game dev who didn't hire white people by a former colleague

In case it gets deleted:

TLDR: She keeps saying inflammatory shit which got her and the team in the crosshairs of kiwifarms etc.

[Besticus Maximus]

In the world of normal humans it isn't unusual for a consultancy company to provide input on not destroying the brand with nonsense, but you would expect that a company that specialises in that wouldn't destroy the brand with nonsense

Negron, Negraux. Come on son...

They're right about getting quite queer developers. Absolute nutjobs.

[HardcoreRetro]

I can't get over their public facing name being Negron The Malevolent. Dear lord, that's retarded.

Anyways, I also run a diversity consultancy firm. Check out my X (twitter) account @BabyRapeHitler for more information.

The obsession to having characters look like them is also insane and they all do it.



It's fucking weird, I mean sure make an NPC or quest giver of yourself, that's all fun and games.
But why hire an actor for a main character, do all the mocap and face scans and then 'uglify' it. 

Especially when it's so obvious you're doing it considering current graphics technology allows nearly 1:1 accurate face scans like Kojima did for Death Stranding.



Not allowed in the woke utopia, people with healthy diets and slim faces.

[HardcoreRetro]

Eh, I think it's quite funny when the obvious self-insert is an absolute dogshit cunt of a character. What does that say about the person it's based on?

Hey, I'm having fun.

The wanker from remedy is a good one for this. I bailed out on Alan Wake 2 after he'd shown up a few times to remind me that I was living in his totalitarian fantasy.

I notice she talks a lot about hiring "the right people" who "understand the type of game" they were creating, but never once mentioned hiring the right people with the right technical skills...

The last regional power that gave up their nuclear weapons is Ukraine. As a result they no longer live under the threat of nuclear war but enjoy peaceful and happy lives. Instead of nuclear weapons they are safeguarded by an agreement signed between France, United Kingdom, United States and Russia to ensure its borders are never violated. This woman is very smart and knows nuclear weapons will not keep you safe unlike your cowboy Presidents.
  

Libya also gave up its nuclear weapons program after the invasion of Iraq. Muhammar Gadaffi was welcomed by the international community with open arms and invited to speak at the UN. The Libyan people can now safely walk the streets without having to fear nuclear weapons as they go and pick up Muhammars latest edition of the Green Book. 
 

Thank you for your efforts in helping to disarm Ukraine to protect our aviators from harm and our soldiers from dangerous chemical weapons
 

Wait you actually remember I went to Donetsk as a senator to supervise the disarmament of the border region? 


Let's meet up over dinner, what's your chef cooking, some surf & turf maybe?

[Polident]

Saw that yesterday. While I’m very pro humoring pretty girls going on about whatever silly topic and occasionally injecting with “haha really? no way!” her doing the whole mean misogynistic men are attacking me! thing makes it complicated. Also, people dug up her posts from last October and tl;dr

I picked all men because they're better suited for combat
