Right-wingers are up in arms over what this lead developer just said in a video:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dbb3d97d.jpg
"I have a team of 21 right now for Validate. It's a pretty big team. It's a crazy big team for indie games. But who is your team? Validate has a team of mostly all people of color. We have no white people on our team. I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment and I know the best way for the environment to be safe is to be around people who are just like me. And I'm not saying that white people in the industry are creating unsafe environments. I'm not saying that. That is not what I'm saying. I am saying that sometimes it is hard to work with white people because they think that something may be okay, but it was really a microaggression. And no one wants to deal with that while you're trying to make a game that they love."

Microaggression is quite possibly one of the dumbest terms of all time.

So they don't work at Sweet Baby?
Why care

Sweet baby and others need to go all they do is ruin everything .

Okay

*inspects title*

it's...a dating sim VN that apparently nobody can agree on if it's super well written for the themes it's going for or infuriatingly one-dimensional with bad UI. With a third of the planned content out and no ETA on volumes 2 and 3. That sounds about right

Guys you have to -actually make the games- please, you can fight the trolls who wouldn't buy it either way later

this is dumb gamergate shit

And right-wingers are using it to further smear leftists and persuade non-political gamers into hating content that is considered "woke". From what I've seen, they've largely succeeded in the Asian gaming sphere where fans are not too fond of (political correctness).

what is the "Asian" gaming sphere?

Truth be told, can it really be called diverse if there are little to no white people around?

I had to look up the definition of a microaggression, and it really is a terrible term. Consider the following sentence from this lady.

I'm not saying that. That is not what I'm saying. I am saying that sometimes it is hard to work with white people because they think that something may be okay, but it was really a microaggression.

If it was any other race, this would be a microaggression, making a negative remark on somebodies abilities based on skin tone. But since the definition is only about making negative comments towards minority groups, this is OK.

I'm a firm believer of holding myself to the same standards I hold others and this kind of thing really bothers me, the idea that sweeping generalizations can be considered right or wrong depending on who is saying them (or the target of the idea).
