Weak ass damage control. This lady is full blown racist and shouldn't be associated with any game developer in any role.
How is that "damage control"? The OP in that post said that the woman was racist; the OP is just clearing the air that the video is not what Chuds are trying to present it as (the lead dev on the Black Panther game).

He fucking sucks lol

The latest line of dipshit chuds trying to claw their way onto my recommended feed

asmon's really bad on some stuff and really good on some other stuff. he doesn't really have a coherent political ideology, except he's culturally conservative on immigration and a few other things. otherwise he's kind of across the board. you might be surprised how much he's stuck up for women in the gaming industry and DEI and some other stuff.

also he's got legitimately correct opinions about World of Warcraft and why the game sucks now.

In my current role I was advised by a member of the board not to hire any black people. I have hired 2 since that conversation.

1. This was a video from 2+ years ago for another game separate from the Black Panther game
2. Libs of Tik Tok(noted propagandist anti-trans bigot Twitter channel hosted by a moron that can't answer what bad shit is happening in schools that they're so against) dug up this video that had no prior interaction until now
3. She's not a lead on anything, she's an assistant in a far down the totem pole position & has basically no control over the game's development & will have minimal impact on it's fruition
4. Black people wanting their own space with like minded people isn't racism, but her trying to only hire black people is. Good thing she has next to no actual power over anything.

Think I covered everything for today's outrage bullshit magnet.

Her job title is "Associate Narrative Designer" The only people who know exactly what she does are her and her co-workers. Neither of which have spoken on this topic. Could be a large role or it could be a small role. All we know for certain is she has some horribly racist beliefs and shouldn't be working in the games industry in any role.

This person is racist and shouldn't keep their job necessarily but she was portrayed as some big wig on a project when she's just an associate who might even have been contracted to EA in the first place(well the one screenshot said that could be possible, i don't know), and the video in question wasn't on the current EA project and was a few years ago.

She is a bad person and should probably be cut from the Black Panther project but what we don't need is some idiotic account like "libsoftiktok" blowing things out of proportion and just lying about certain details.

I never claimed she is the head of anything. I said her role could be large or small. You don't know because you don't work with her.

Reactionaries don't make money if people post the original source.

It often makes their job harder if they did that too.

I don't know why people are confused on why she would be so public about this. These people are trained that this is the way forward, that this actually fights racism, and I wouldn't be surprised if she was trained that you can't be racist to white people. They think this shit is what makes them good anti-racists. Of course they would tell the world.

Okay so like I'm not trying to imply you're feigning ignorance but it's hard to believe that you aren't familiar with like... "Black people cannot be racist to white people due to the power imbalance" type rhetoric found pretty commonly online

i don't care to watch that and have asmongold added to my algorithm; is she being an asshole about it, or does she just want to use her opportunity to give people a chance to get their foot in the door in an industry that's mostly white male-dominated? because if it's the latter, it doesn't really seem malicious or anything to me. diversity is mentioned a lot regarding games and the industry- i'd rather see something like jobs simply being made available for more people than something like that weird checklist and score sheet Blizzard was using for Overwatch, if anyone remembers that

far down the totem pole position

Something I didn't think about before hearing a native voices segment this week: you should avoid using totem pole imagery in your speech, because it's appropriative and racist. Also, it's just factually wrong.

The bottom of the totem pole, its base, is the strongest and most important part of it. There is no totem pole without the bottom.

Just an FYI that I personally picked up over the week.
