EA Lead Dev Explains Why She Doesn't Hire White People

If it was really that easy, everybody would be doing it. I get some hefty fees from being a consultant sometimes. However, I do have the relevant qualifications and experience.

Sure, selling your services when you work freelance is almost always the hard part.

And yeah, if your people skills are amazing or you know the right people, you could get the job even if youd actually suck at it, but thats true of most jobs.

I know a political streamer with no degree or education in political science or anything, getting paid 5K$+ per speaking gig to talk at high schools & colleges. Institutions & companies will pay anyone to talk(like how Jordan Peterson's broken dumb ass still gets paid speaking gigs now) if they think you're someone they should listen to.

Look at Rachel Dolezal as well, no accreditation or anything, but because it seems like she knows what she's talking about & companies are desperate to appeal to wider groups for more money, they'll hire anyone to come talk to a room of people.

Maybe you're in a sector where it might matter like engineering, construction, aviation, military, & shit like that when you're teaching or specifically instructing people how to do something. But there's so many areas where consulting firms & people make tons of money doing jack shit.

Im in education. Ive consulted for schools, multi-academy trusts and governments. Yes, you need the right qualifications and experience to do that.

But even in the examples that you list, bullshit merchants still need to be good at what they do, which is peddling bullshit.

You do not need the right qualifications & experiences, your anecdote doesn't disprove the three I know of that don't have your degree or experience. If you want to say "you should" I'd agree. The only thing for certain is death & taxes & blah blah blah.

When you talk about governments, local state district or whatever, generally they look into backgrounds better because they have bureaucracy that needs to go through the proper channels to verify the background & abilities of their consultants. This isn't always a given because the government does still get scammed sometimes by smooth talking bullshitters as you say, but I'd lead towards them vetting better.

As for corpos or businesses, I don't need to explain it again as I already have. Rainbow capitalism means they want to appeal to as many as possible for , even if the people have no experience or education in the specific economic sector. But Bernie Madoff & Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes are proof you can talk your way into anything if you're clever enough. Trump as well.

Snake oil salesman are as old as humanity itself. So to anyone reading this, practice your social skills & conversational ability, it can really carry you in life, but use it responsibly.

If youre going to type a long response to my post, you might want to read it properly first.

I love wasting my time having a conversation when one person doesn't read my shit while saying I don't read theirs. I elaborated on what I was talking about, I responded to your small 3 sentences. God that's fucking irritating.

I don't think any developers feel mislead or tricked about the consultancy they were provided.

It's just a small minority of gamers being angry about it. The same exact types who've been angry about woke media for several years and always looking for a target to harass.

Pretty funny considering this all started because these people chose a target to harass

They're not being misled or tricked, just threaten

And why did they become a target?

You know what? You're right. I'm sorry, I made a bad take. It wasn't great of me, but yeah, I apologize. And it is (obviously) a rather complex issue, where it isn't necessarily always the dominant demographic discriminating against the smaller ones.

I wasn't aware that this is mostly just culture war nonsense and I will say that there were a lot of usernames itt that never post or barely do suddenly coming out of nowhere to attack this woman or me, when as I said, if you're mad about this, this kind of thing happens literally everywhere against non-white people, period. Not even just black people, but against Hispanics, Asians, etc. I'd imagine, like I said, it even happens in the video game industry, especially considering the sort of people who prop up the industry and the demographics within it. But it's either racist conservative types who silently perpetuate it or its liberals who pat themselves on the back for how "progressive" they are and act like it never happens because they don't want to feel bad.

You and a couple more reasonable posters itt are in the right but there's also a ton of bad faith posters here. I guess that's my fault for getting emotional and actually getting drawn into culture war bullshit.

apparently this video predates her time at EA and is purposely being misconstrued to elicit outrage. apparently it was filmed during her time at a different studio, much smaller than ea

I don't think she's racist, I think she's just aware that there's a lack of black people in the video game industry and that she's trying to help us out in that regard.

Like it's just weird that people are literally demonizing her and getting so whiny when as far as I know, it's small team handling the narrative in the game.

I can tell by the immediate doxxing this was a hit piece.

Happens all the time when a pro-Black work comes out.

The Nat Turner movie? Oh the writer was charged with sexual assault.

Bob Marley movie? Oh no one in that movie is Jamaican, don't watch it

Black Panther game? This woman got promoted and this is how she felt about her old studio. Don't buy the game.

This is what racism really looks like. The video is being posted with zero context so one can hate the subject without knowing a single thing about her.

Her: I wont hire white people because Im racist.

You: What she actually meant was
