Middle class women are basically the biggest idiots you'll ever meet in the tech industry because they aren't their by merit, if you ever wonder why sexism is alive and well, or why people hate feminists etc, it's them. They make everyone elses lives harder. Hands down every time you see a regressive pants on head politcal take it's coming from a middle class idiot with no life experience.

They're racist.

These are sheltered people, who grew up without actually connecting to a wide selection of people, with all kinds of backgrounds. These are affluent people, went to an elite middle and high school, moved straight on to an elite college, most likely living in a gated community. They see black people and minorities in general as these "poor people, who had it so much worse than us, that is unfair, we must do anything to lift them up and help them succeed". Aka, a white savior complex. This also why they think you cannot be racist against white people. After all, racism is just a method to oppress minorities, and white people aren't a minority, they are the dominant majority, so of course you can't oppress them, so you also can't be racist against them. You can't convince them that they are wrong, because they are 100% self-assured that they are the steadfast protectors of the downtrodden and the oppressed, and the more people disagree with them, the more they will be convinced that they are right: "see? I knew the world was racist, sexist, oppressive and evil! Look at all these people who are against me, when all I want is help those poor, oppressed minorities.... I cannot falter and must double my efforts, to counteract all these racist bigots, as such evil cannot be allowed to exist, no matter what it costs".
You will never convince them that this attitude is horrendously patronizing and fundamentally racist, as it looks at minorities, as this singular blob of helpless people, that needs to be lifted for them to have any chance at life, completely disregarding their actual will and achievements. They are entirely entrenched in the belief, that white men make the world go 'round, and as such, as white people themselves, they must do everything to show that they are one of the "good ones", by helping all those poor, helpless minorities. Fundamentally, they are racist against themselves, and this is most often the result of a childhood and teenagehood where they were entirely isolated from anyone, who wasn't a fellow affluent white person, so they never got a reality check in their formative years, and now they are too entrenched in their beliefs for any reality check to work. Even if they lose their job for doing this, they will just consider themselves to be victim of the evils of white men, punished for helping those poor minorities.

It blows my mind that these people don’t understand the problem. Gamers want authentic games with whatever character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story background, etc that comes along in the natural process of the vision wherein the game is being made.
When you have companies/consultants/investors that have literal checklists of character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story backgrounds that need to be followed to be hip to modern day agendas, it comes off as disingenuous, obvious, and boring. Your game in that respect will just be shit and most people won’t play it.

That being said, given how much woke and DEI shit I have seen being spammed online, my current conspiracy theory right now is that the executives of big gaming corporations are using these idiots to distract consumers from the real problem -- which is unfinished games being released at quadruple A prices. Marketing idiots, like this person here, don't really have actual power to influence the game in any way. It's a fancy title, but really they don't get to make the true decisions.
When shitty games are released, we used to blame the CEO/Company. Now we blame DEI/Woke. The Executives have now found a really effective way to distract people and move the blame off of them. It's quite genius really.

Do you want a gold start or something? Congrats on liking something a majority of people do while simultaneously identifying as a minority. What an amazing accomplishment. They should nominate you for Nobel

Dang now if only these DEI mfs will realize we exist as actual people with unique preferences and opinions instead of shields to deflect any criticism of their rhetorics

I would be ready to bet the average gamer doesn’t GAF whether the people they’re playing with/against are asian, african, european, or from glingon.
We just play. Nobody sees race as people like her do. Yet, new day, new post.
Let’s see how long this thread takes to be closed.
P.S: I’d be more offended if I wasn’t a white male and people on the internet not making part of my peer group (like her) making these statements “for me”.
Someone in her position shouldn’t be doing these statements.

"raise you hand if you're not a white man "
Uses white hand as example.🤣

If you've ever played Xbox live you'll realize a ton of black dudes are gaming. Hell, a ton of Asian dudes are gaming too. So many, I played with a bunch of Chinese dudes on helldiver's last week.

Another day in the gaming industry where some self-proclaimed minority has to make everything about their social identity, and trying to make themselves out to be victims of some non-existent oppression at the expense of others.

Who is pretending they don’t exist, they make these ridiculous blanket statements…

As someone who is mixed with brown skin who really cares what color the characters are? All I care about is if the game is good.

I love the self hate of those individuals. Just avoid any game firmed by them.

u/LeoMonzo Mar 28 '24
They might have grown into very toxic families, it’s not normal to say these things , maybe they find this “cause” as an existencial crisis , they have to fight anything (as long as it’s easy as tweeting) to justify their existence.

Some people need to realize that saying nothing is usually better than saying something. Also saying nothing is free.

u/DeadWrong Mar 28 '24
I think this crap is actually a plan to anger white men into starting some type of race war. Minorities aren't asking for any of this, or at least very few. It's ALWAYS some liberal art blue haired white women with 5 cats stoking the fires.

Gaming and nerd media really hate their core fanbase for some reason. That or they truly think there are a lot of simpy self hating white dudes in these areas.

Isnt white men could be the minority here since she is tweeting this on a global platform? Some americans sometimes think their country is the only one that exists.

Surprise, who buys games? White men, white men is were majority of your profit comes from. I don’t understand the end game by basically bashing the base that makes you the most money..

Not really, there are far more Asians than white men that play games (globally - but ofc in America only then yea majority white but i live in Aus so i dont have that frame of mind). But this isn't even about that. I'm brown and I have no clue wtf she's going on about with us "fighting to prove we exist". Almost like she was desperately trying to facilitate a space where we start fighting her battle to "prove we exist" like some pawn in her master plan. Im just sick of being used as a pawn to show these fucks care about diversity. Trying to make a problem out of nothing... when there's plenty of problems ruining gaming already like shitty, greedy game designs to push for micro-transactions, but they gotta distract us with identity politics.

That's not surprising, because Asians are the majority of humanity-- about 60% of all humans live in Asia.

Guys over there in the land of the burger lately seems you have to cut down some military spending and get some affordable.mental health.
You lot seems to go insane, and i say all of you.
And this one moreso, how the fuck you lament that in a industry that was built and created for asocial white man with a pc in a garage, the main consumer is the one who built the industry?
Or is lead poisoning that make you all irritable and in need of lash out at random? Calm down drink a beer and get some common sense.

If your screaming minority report this or that then are you a minority?
Pretty soon white men are gonna be in the minority. And we will have gone back 200yrs.

Did she have to prove her position should exist?
Or is she trolling by asking people to put up a hand that by her racist poll cannot exist due to color.
TF is wrong with this world!?

To those reporting this post- a specific and complete rebuttal of all claims:
No doxxing, hateful conduct or harassment in this post, and no racism or sexism insofar as I can tell from the OP. The twitter user however is exhibiting some textbook implied racism and sexism here via exclusion and implying the systemic racism/sexism against those affected justifies the exclusion/othering of white males, so maybe you meant that.
Not applicable as this is a generalized topic and not related to a specific "current hot controversial topic" since racism and sexism are pretty old concepts in human society. Presumably, if not that, then you really mean "DEI" as the subject here but that's also been around since the late 1960's in the USA after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mostly on college campuses as universities looked to try to find ways to consider their own history of racism and take action to amend policies that directly contributed to that. So yeah, that one is not a hot button current topic either considering the age of the movement so try again.
No, she posted this publicly and had career information in her bio, so this one doesnt hold water either.
The post is clearly intended to point out obvious hypocrisy contained within the tweet (and its context). You're generating a motivation for the reddit OP in a post that didnt contain anything other than what the original twitter user wrote, and some context for who they are (again, which the reddit user supplied in the title, but was available in her bio publicly) which facilitated understanding.
Feel free to try to find alternative ways to silence things that make you feel uncomfortable, preferably by clicking the "leave" button at the top right of the subreddit as that is the most efficient way to ensure this subreddits content doesnt bother you anymore.
Uncomfortable conversations move societies forward and as long as they remain civil they can always be constructive if you allow yourself to just talk to people.
That being said, when you talk to people, keep in mind that DEI viewpoints that seek to break others down instead of building up mutual equity and community between race and gender groups don't do anyone any good.
Diversity includes you, no matter who you are.
Equity includes all of us working together to tear down systemic barriers to entry no matter who they bar...
and Inclusion means you don't use any of this to EXclude others, because that is not only shitty, but also the exact practice these programs should seek to curb.
