Man I thought this Gamergate bullshit died out years ago. I really don't understand why people give a shit

Seeing as how this thread isn't going to die out anyways I might as well respond to this.

It's because it started off again with a DEI consulting company called Sweet Baby Inc doing advisements for a lot of game developers & companies. But the thing the far right racist people pushing this connection don't understand is that just because a company is consulting on something, doesn't mean the receiver acted on it at all. Consulting, in my opinion, is pretty fucking meaningless & a fluff job.

Someone pays you to give your opinion on something you don't really need to be credited or professional on, & you tell them how to make themselves appeal more to demographics or sectors of the economy. They get their check for doing basically nothing besides a speaking gig, you go around the industry doing it to all of them.

But the far right thinks this is some broader plan to wokeify the entire gaming industry & that it must be the reason everything bad is happening in regards to layoffs & game quality getting worse in AAA spaces & so on. And it only takes assholes like Assmonshit to propagate it, or when unfortunately people like Mutahar take a centrist position on something that doesn't need a wishy-washy middle ground.

They find that one single solitary spark they were searching for to make a culture war that doesn't meaningful fix anything, & we're right back into gamergate 2.0 because history is a circle. The woman in that bullshit mischaracterized video just helped them add more fuel to the fire.
