i just heard of the ESG score....that's weird...

... damn, i don't know what to think. everytime "big money" is behind something i feel people are just being used as pawns. But then you add the cultish aspect of the sweet little babies type of folks....i kinda feel grossed out.

 

[CGNoire]

What was the response from the purple crowd over that Sweet Baby employee's old Twitter posts showing him to be a racist and homophobe?

Intense Anger and Resentment toward the members delivering the message. In other words .....just what we expected.

 

[CGNoire]

What she says beginning at 54:37 is very revealing, I would say.

"Put this stuff up to your higher-ups, and if they don't see the value in what you're asking for, when you ask for consultants, when you ask for research, go have a coffee with your marketing team and just terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want."

The implication being, as I see it, that games "journalism" outlets - notorious for being rife with biased, selective reporting and dubious relationships with other parties in the gaming industry (look up the history of SBI employee legobutts) - might just send a PR shitstorm your way if your game is deemed not diverse enough. You better pay the Mob their protection fee, or who knows what might happen...

This. Its blatant Racketering.

 

[Connificent]

Should crack 150k tomorrow while mainstream gaming sites have their heads in the sand

 

[Kenpachii]

Plot twist now he gets banned for having a account here on ree.

 

[Peroroncino]

Sweet baby jeezus, finally some good food. Also having a roll at seeing the streisand effect in action.

REEEEEtards having a conniption and urging to mass report is just an icing on the cake.

Even if steam takes down the group, the message is out there, group will survive in one way or another.

 

[Heart_Attack]

This Sweet Baby thing is hilarious. There is nothing wrong with consumers knowing if a woke company was consulted in the making of a video game. I support this "boycott" or whatever joke this is.

 

[nkarafo]

 

[Tangerine]

As as been said in this thread it's mob tactics. Better pay for their 'protection' which is protection from them. Evil sociopaths.

 

[cormack12]

Oh, you can use the Google machine. Smart.

I will take the ban with double fries, thanks.

Half the people on reeeee probably don't even know what "the old place" is anymore.

That's mainly because they are only interested in young places.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

So sensitive lol.

If you say so

You still missed the point though.

 

[Peroroncino]

I guess they're the ones that have debra wilson on speed dial, bitch is everywhere playing the same goddamn role.

 

[Randall365]

I feel like most people have had enough of pandering - that South Park episode summed it up. I wonder how far this will go, because clearly the steam curator hit a nerve with the company - there must be some fear that the worm will turn. Describing anyone involved with this as alt right chuds seems very defensive.

 

[gaming_again]

I can't get over how epic and based the Brazilian dude's avatar is lol.

 

[The Pleasure]

Dong Dong Never Die is a legendary game that could only have come from China.

That's what i tell women when they ask why I'm not tired yet.

 

[GymWolf]

in a world where anything anyone says risks the possibility of offending someone somewhere, this's one helluva tough assignment...

assuming that they, in their infinite university-provided wisdom, somehow just know what is & isn't offensive to everyone everywhere? the dimwitted pomposity & arrogance of these people is an embarrassment to the planet...

edit: they're also an embarrassment to all these (one assumes) otherwise highly offensive developers that feel the need (& actually pay) for their divine guidance...

They don't care about offending white straight men so they focus all the shit talking on them.

 

[Embearded]

Video needs more context, but this is salesman tactics 101.
From toilet paper to insurance contracts, to religious beliefs, you terrify your potential costumer by telling them what will happen to them if they don't get your product.

Unless Sweet Baby Inc has people in forums trying to cancel studios that do not buy their services, this means nothing.

And Steam shouldn't ban the curator no matter how many reports they get. If it's not violating any rules, either change your rules to include people's feelings or don't ban it.
Bending rules so a specific and vocal minority feels nice is stupid.

 

[GymWolf]

What was the response from the purple crowd over that Sweet Baby employee's old Twitter posts showing him to be a racist and homophobe?

They opened 3 different gofumdme accounts for him.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

meh
Japan has often totally vague lore, cringe epic Hollywood wannabe pandering, or writing that feels like someone never growing past his puberty. Going back to retro games isn't great either with their sort of naive also infantile sounding versions of action plots.
It's a pick your poison right now.

I am ready to have gaming its RRR moment. Let's have some dance or musical numbers in pretentious af action games.

I hope they train our coming AI writers with actually good writers. I guess a plot itself will be tougher than style points for actually unique sounding characters, which none of it our current human quest writer farms can't produce.

I remember watching RRR with a group of friends that never watched Bollywood and it was an incredible experience lol. The dance numbers were fire the women were hot and the bromance top notch. What a movie!

 

[Kikorin]

At this point the seed is already planted. Ban the curator would just make him a Messiah and martyr and would create a cult.

 

[T-0800]

I've seen this hinted at before. Where is that coming from?

Sweet Baby and their like are bullies. Ignore them and they lose all their power.

 

[GymWolf]

Imagine thinking that following a curator on steam was comparable to a jihad.

In their fucked up minds Jk rowling was literally leading the trump trans death squads roaming the city in white tanks because she said that trans women are not biological women.

 

[FingerBang]

In their fucked up minds Jk rowling was literally leading the trump trans death squads roaming the city in white tanks because she said that trans women are not biological women.

The same JKR that made all the characters gay after finishing the books to show she was a progressive. That one, yes

Perfect representation of a left that moves so far on the progressive side you become a nazi by just standing still

 

[Scotty W]

Terrify them, the marketing team. What is the marketing team terrified of? That we, the gamers, will not buy their games, that we will lash out in anger.

But she is wrong. We gamers are too divided, system against system, port against port, and gamer chair against sofa to fight against the true enemy. Sweet Baby. I call for a ceasefire in the console wars. Today we begin a gamer Jihad against our enemies, all who stand in our path, and Sweet Baby Inc.

Sic Semper Kusoge!

 

[Krieger]

That's why Sony needs to move their HQ back to Japan. Fuck it, take Microsoft, EA and everyone else with them. These fucktards with their 500+ pounds weighing wannabe mobs don't stand a chance against the craziness of hardcore otakus.

Man how are they gonna to react to Dune Messiah when that movie comes out

That book goes hard in certain aspect lol

Considering the third movie is setting up to be girl power galore, I think it'll go pretty well with them.

I haven't seen Dune Part Two yet. Waiting on Steaming

I'm just saying that there are some controversial things in the books that I hope that Denis keeps in Dune Messiah that would trigger the snowflakes

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I'm not the bit surprised by the evil of these people. Doing the job they do requires evil. Censors/inquisitors are some of the worst scumbags on Earth. Have always been. What shocks me is that they are so stupid to say all this out loud.

They must be fought back in full force. This "be careful how you word it" just makes you look weak and encourages the bully to keep bullying. Words like "racist" "misogynist" or "fascist" have lost any actual meaning since they throw them around indiscriminately, so the only answer is "yes, whatever" and move on.

Oh, sure. You basically get the white savior trope in all its splendor. People will shit on it for that reason alone, which will be hilarious when the movie will almost reach a billion while their activist-ridden crappy films will stay in the 200Ks.

Love to see it.

Not only that The Dune Book Series deals with the problems with hero worship, autocracy, and colonialism. It's actually done well in the books so far.

But thats something that Sweet Baby Inc and the other people who follow that political religion wouldn't get the context of and would just be triggered

They have the intellect of kids basically is all I'm saying lol

 

[Bernardougf]

Is to my understanding that they are following quite well the books (which i didnt read) even if not perfect... if didnt happen in the books I dont think it will happen in the third movie. (I hope)

 

[gaming_again]

They fucked about with a character in the first film that takes away a lot of the point of the scenes they are in, which is very annoying and feels so pointless. It isn't enough to put me off watching the second film, though.

Nothing will beat the (first three) books. LOTR level.

 

[Portugeezer]

Good.

I think it's time to avoid sweet baby infestation.

 

[Stitch]

 

[GymWolf]

The purple morons making excuses for the old racist tweets of the SB dude is fucking hilarious.

They have no problem cancelling people for even older stuff but somehow that is ok.

I just can't

 

[Chuck Berry]

I guess they're the ones that have debra wilson on speed dial, bitch is everywhere playing the same goddamn role.

Seriously

Can we get a Debra Wilson Steam curator next please

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Seriously

Who is Debra Wilson?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Who is Debra Wilson?

Need an older strong black woman in your game? (Of course you do)

She is THE go to and she plays the same role over and over and over.

 

[CGNoire]

Why all the hate toward Debra Wilson? Shes pretty dam good.
Is it just cause shes bald and you all cant help but associate here with the current ugly woman trend?
Give her a break she in her 60s.

 

[CGNoire]

Who is Debra Wilson?

She was on MadTV for the majority of its run. An OG cast member.

 

[nkarafo]

Need an older strong black woman in your game? (Of course you do)

She is THE go to and she plays the same role over and over and over.

And she is as annoying as she looks in every game.

 

[CGNoire]

I will admit she has been in pretty much everything AAA SP wince 2018. At least 3 or 4 major titles. Im ok with it. Im assuming they havent changed her look up between titles because the white execs are to dam scared to even ask less they attract the ire of twitter cancel mobs.

I only known her for the recent games she has been in.
I guess she does an ok job with the material they give her.
But most of the writing she gets is an absolute dog turd. Immortals of Aveum is a prime example of that.
So she is limited on how she can show off her talent.

 

[Draugoth]

She's slowly becoming female mocap Troy Baker. But idk, i think she's just doing her job. Not really her fault that games are being bastarized by consultants like Sweet Baby.

Yeah I'm not hating at all, but I'm sure there's hundreds of older black voice actresses out there that could do her roles. It's just now at the point where every time she's in something I can't help but chuckle. I did love her character in Days Gone though. My fav of her performances.

That wasn't her in Immortals. It was Gina Torres.

I think it's because she's overexposed. In Wolfenstein II she smoked a cigarette while breast feeding and had a beta white male for a husband. Very obnoxious but that fault lies on the writers.

 

[winjer]

Oh sorry. I mistook the 2 actresses.
