Steam curator warns players if Sweet Baby is involved in a game
I feel ya.we did go from no Debra Wilson to almost everything Debra Wilson in a Flash.

Wasn’t the guy who voiced the vampire in MGS2 also on MadTV? I’d be down for a Will Sasso run. Or Bobby Lee.

To put “their” reaction in perspective:
imagine if a Steam curator was about detecting games where Hideo Kojima was involved, just because its creator thinks Kojima is a hack and his unbridled ideas make games worse.
I seriously doubt Kojima would beg people to “report the fuck out of him”, or that anyone would claim this is harassment against Kojima. Heck, Kojima would enjoy the free publicity because he’s perfectly aware of the Streisand effect, AND he never doubts his ideas are right.
Imagine twisting “Hideo Kojima detected” into Gamergate 2.0.
Now, if SBI have only good intentions and nothing to hide, and they’re dedicated to making games better… what’s all the fuss about? Why react like a consistent chunk of human society is being harassed by the existence of a Steam curator?
They have blown this up themselves. And it really doesn’t take a genius to understand why, if you’ve been on the gaming side of the internet these last few, long years.

Only the smartest of people can accept any form of criticism. Their intentions are clear.
Phil is the obvious choose.Wasn’t the guy who voiced the vampire in MGS2 also on MadTV? I’d be down for a Will Sasso run. Or Bobby Lee.

She is as token as it gets. All in the name of DIVERSITY of course…….
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.

It's so obvious. The *only* response to this thing from Sweet Baby should have been, "cool, now more people will see what we work on." But they're so stupid and so self-absorbed and also on some level know that people hate what they do and so they cannot say that.

Because they have tasted the power of cancellation and that's how they deal with arguments. They know they can cancel someone if they cry enough on Twitter.

They probably could've gotten way more out of Debra Wilson than Angela Bassett in Forbidden West. Man talk about a colossal waste of money for that performance. And she's truly an amazing fucking actress.

Debra Wilson does fine work. And overusing the same couple of voice actors is just an industry-wide problem, has been forever.

My problem is they hire attractive voice actresses and make the character ugly. Then they hire her and her character looks exactly like her.
This obviously isn't her fault though.

She is THE go to and she plays the same role over and over and over.
The obligatory "strong black bald woman" is so tiring, I'd gladly eliminate all games that rely on it.
It's not just in games... the strong-bald-black-woman is a mythical figure of our era in all entertainment. She embodies a certain position in the progressive imagination, such that simply adding her into the cast of any narrative is a way to "fix" the supposed biases.
Example: if you have a scifi war film with a crew of strong guys, you can't let that situation stand or else you'll be celebrating old norms like masculinity. So how do you fix it? Make sure that this crew of men is berated or shown up at some point by the mythical strong-bald-black woman. Having this one moment or scene will tick the box to make sure we have shown that maleness has no objective advantage, that racial diversity is power, and that traditional beauty or norms of the male gaze do not apply (hence the shaved head, the refusal to be attractive).
It's a minstrel show. Black female characters now do a little obligatory dance and song for progressives on screen every day to make sure that the white-woman progressive's post-racial/post-gender religious beliefs are upheld and bowed to, no matter the genre or contents of the rest of the film/game.
I absolutely do an immediate rejection of any entertainment that uses this character type, because it tells me all I need to know about the writers.

I could not believe my ears when, in Wolfenstein, she said: Sheeeit. Might have been the first thing she said too, iirc.

4chan has some interesting ideas about this. This is SBI’s logo. Very creepy.
Apparently, SBI is funded by a Canadian non-profit named Weird Ghosts. On the board is a woman named Eileen Holowka.
That name might seem familiar, as she seems to be the sister of Alec Holowka, who, you will recall Zoe Quinn bullied into suicide.
All credit to anon for the info.

Who the fuck are these Sweet Baby Inc anyway? What are their credentials? Are they writers, scripters? Have they produced anything worth while in the past? Who the fuck told them they can write characters and scenarios? Or being poc and transgender is enough to be a writer nowadays?

It is so much worse than that. This is a vanishingly tiny group of people holding a billion dollar industry hostage.

Fucking INSANE. Why is it not getting more attention?
"go to the marketing team...and terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want"
This is a threat. This is blackmail. This is DEI.

Yes because God forbid they not portray a black female lead as who she is and as a strong and perfect character as well.The lunatics would immediately cry racism. Yet they love to make attractive white females look ugly as all hell in their games……..brain rot and wokeism go hand in hand.

Spot on assessment and I agree wholeheartedly. The sooner they rid gaming of this tiring tokenism shite the better. Yes films as well and tv shows have been held hostage as well but the people involved are no better for caving to this garbage from a vocal minority. Shows how weak and pathetic they are not standing up to these clowns and believing in their own vision for their projects.
Maybe you have an affinity towards black woman. Also I can't think of a single female character that wasn't more attractive than a male character, so who has the brain rot, you or someone else? Next you'll say whales are woke for having gay sex.

Whats up with you and gay whales
forced diversity? I'd expect to see a person of color than a white person out in the wild since you know, more people have melanin. So thats just white people talk. If the story is good who the fuck cares if its 'forced' or not? So stupid, sorry you're racist.

I hope youenjoyed your nap since 2018 and glad this thread was your alarm clock.
Welcome to the discussion you big gay whale.
They're forcing their wokness on everyone!! OH NO.
Pretty good nap but I have to say something if something this stupid is being said. Wokeness isn't actually a thing. The only people who think wokeness is actually a thing or talk about it are racists, and sexists. I WANT TO SEE SEXY WHITE WOMEN, NOT SEXY BLACK WOMAN. WHY BLACK WOMAN SEXY AND NOT WHITE WOMAN, WHERE ARE THE BIGGER BUTTS IN GAMES. WHY THEY GET RID OF TIFFAS BOOBS! Its all stupid.

Awesome post, this puts it into words better than I could. And yeah I have almost a gut reaction whenever I see this tiresome token character pop up in a trailer. Instant pass for me.
It’s disgusting. Used to be that we all considered color blindness to be the ultimate ideal, but these people have made race/gender/sexual orientation to be THE most important things. The more oppressed the identity, the more positively the character has to be portrayed in order to correct for society’s past injustices.

what if the story is not good, then can you blame it on "forced diversity" ?

Using social pressure and public shaming to control narratives and suppress opposition.
Those are NAZI tactics.
This person is dangerous.
Shame on every studio that is collaborating with her.

I wouldn't mind a sexy black woman, as long as she's sexy and not debra wilson. Hell I'll even throw in sexy and STRONG black woman, just for good measure!
does that make me only sexist or maybe even half-sexist? : O

They are not even related. If the story is good the story is good, if the story is bad the story is bad. GOT was good up until the end, and it had incest. You could have not had the incest and it wouldn't have taken away from anything. Point is, it doesn't matter whats in the story as long as its good.

I guess it comes from the weird company name, their logo (the spiral symbol is/was on the efbeeay’s website as one molesters use) and that many of this type of people have been identified as such
Seems like the triggered ones are you lol. OMG 'FORCED' BLACK WOMAN, OMG FORCED GAY MAN. You upset that nature is forcing gay whales onto you too? It's so stupid lol
I don't care if it does or not, but, only people saying woke are racists and sexists. lol So thats on you'r characters not mine.
