I'm fine with her principles but it was really dumb to announce this. this studio is going to get sued into oblivion.

also how is she an EA dev and calling herself indie? with 25+ employees? come on.

Was she fired for her racism? Because if she was white saying this about another race it would be all over the news.

I believe she's referring to another game she worked on, that's where the racist hiring policy occurred. This video just started making the rounds today so it'll likely take time for EA to respond .

Also I don't think she's any kind of "lead dev" on the Black Panther game

She works at a big company like EA? Not some private indie company?

either way this is actually illegal but at a smaller company you could probably get away with it if you didn't announce it

these words are going to haunt her in court

https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices


Under the laws enforced by EEOC, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.

It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a job applicant because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. For example, an employer may not refuse to give employment applications to people of a certain race.
An employer may not base hiring decisions on stereotypes and assumptions about a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

I can't tell if Validate is a game or the name of a smaller developer. She doesn't mention EA at all.

Either way she can't be saying this shit. I don't know what would even prompt her to bring up racist hiring policies so hard. "Who is your team"? "Oh they're definitely not white".

Not really. Social media has given everyone an overinflated sense of self-importance. So they'll loudly proclaim the dumbest things.

If it can happen to an indie game from three years ago none of them had heard of before this controversy it can happen to any of them!

Her wording sure does suck though. Like it's an indie narrative game about black teenagers. She didn't need to give a justification. No other indie development team does.

But we're in culture war mode now. So that's that.

Makes sense that it's being misrepresented for something that it's not. When I saw it, it was watermarked with "LibsOfTikTok", which already shows its ulterior motives.

So she's a indie developer lead on a game nobody cared about and now she's an entry level writer on Black Panther that she may end up getting fired from.

What a victory and totally worth it.

Does this count as cancel culture?
