Why don't they want a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive society?You know why...
Why don't they want a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive society?
They've been doing that shit for months.Did they ever ?
And yeah, capital G "Gamers" have been especially bad about it. I don't think they even enjoy video games anymore.
Did they ever ?
It's not new. It's their dogwhistle for the n-word
You're at least 18 months behind schedule.
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It's a philosophy and set of practices that aim to create a more inclusive and just society.is this AI generated?
And you can immediately see how something like that would piss a chud off.
Game has a female protagonist? Game has non-white lead characters? Game has LGBTQ+ persons in it? "DEI filth!" the chuds say.
They review bomb anything they perceive as this and spout the hate on every message board that hasn't (yet) banned them. But the worst part is that now we have some (shitty) companies trying to cater to the chuds on this very topic.
CI Games (Lords of the Fallen) stated: "While some recent video games have taken the opportunity to implement "social and political agendas" within their experiences, Hill continued, the lower than expected commercial performance of some of these games shows that many players do not appreciate these elements."
And Meta (Facebook) stated: "The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI. The term 'DEI' has also become charged, in part because it is understood by some as a practice that suggests preferential treatment of some groups over others."
These are obvious attempts to cater to the MAGA crowd, but also a moment where these corpos showing their true colors - they don't give a fuck about human beings. If making hate more easy to flow is good for their business, they happily slurp that shit up.
Whether a developer being more inclusive or not in their products - that is a decision that should be left up to them and their product should be judged on its own merits. Hating or loving a product PURELY from the decisions to be inclusive or not say more about the character of the reviewer than it does for the product. It says you're a close-minded, small world view bigot that should have no voice in society. If lifting up and supporting the people on the fringes of society draws ire from any person - then FUCK those people. Hate-filled gremlins that make the world a worse place every word they type.
At one point? Probably.
Before they were crying over a woman being a main character they were wishing more girls would play video games as well.
Then they became indoctrinated into the hate cycle.
Remember when finding a girl who liked video games was like the COOLEST thing?For normal people? Yes.
i didn't know I wanted Black Mario until right now
It's not new. It's their dogwhistle for the n-wordThis. It's been going at least a couple years I think. I think it started after that bridge in Boston or Baltimore or whatever fell apart. The city has a black mayor and the conservatives said somehow that's why the bridge broke. I started seeing DEI mentioned everywhere after that

Going on and on about DEI is racist because they often see a minority in a role and go DEI before they even know what their qualifications are.They don't care what their qualifications are. It's just a "subtle" way to be racist and sexist, if anything negative occurs and a non-white or female is involved then it's instant whining about DEI because to these people women and non-whites aren't deserving of a position at all.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/89e843fd.jpgHmm, I seemed to have missed CRT and skipped straight to DEI.
At one point? Probably.They enjoyed games with women as much as the next person did. It wasn't until manipulative hatemongers on social media indoctrinated them to think that they should have been hating them.
These. They've been at this for while.
And even before DEI, SJW was the dogwhistle. Before that, political correctness, so on and so forth.
Why don't they want a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive society?

To attempt a real answer, it's because they assumed for the longest time everything was fair and normal. There were no such thing as systemic problems, everyone starts at the same line, just work hard to get what you want and if you failed, it was your own fault, no obstacles, prejudice, or barriers existed. MLK Jr said "I have a dream" and it was all hunky-dory from there. Racism is a personal issue, hence the best mindset is "I don't see race" and all of that.This. While there are genuine bigots out there the majority are people who believe the world to be fundamentally just and are extremely hostile to people telling them their view of the world is incorrect.
So they erroneously believe when minorities, women, and LGBTQ+ try to get their issues addressed, along with special programs and stuff to help them out, they see it as minorities getting "special treatment." DEI and AA before that means to them "white men are getting passed over for less qualified women and non-whites." So get rid of DEI, and we're all back at the same line, no special privileges to anyone.
They are completely oblivious to structural barriers that make things more difficult for women and minorities. As far as they know (and their reality is the "correct" reality), those don't exist. After all, they've never seen it. Everything is as it is is "normal."
That's how they see the world.
And then there are those who are genuine bigots.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
