@@DC-gh6dy Must be nice to just go into whatever space you want and make yourselves known as if anyone cares. It's not like women have ruined every male dominated space since the dawn of time. Y'all even wokeified the military.
The 5 stages of grift: 1. What are you talking about? It's not happening. 2. Fine it's happening but it doesn't matter, why do you care so much?! 3. Yes it's happening (and here's why that's a good thing!) 4. It's happening with or without you. You wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of history, would you? 5. What are you talking about? It was always happening.
Bob Iger just did the same to Peltz. "His white paper has misstruths"..... But no receipts of what is actually untrue. Because he doesn't want the proof laid out and do we really think Disney wouldn't sue someone for slander if they had a case.
GG came about because the consumer rejected being slandered in the press. GG2.0 came about because SBI and it's allies need an enemy to level accusations against. There is no GG2.0. Its just the Wokers doing what they do. Inventing enemies to cry victim about. Gamers don't need GG. We're consumers voting with our wallet and telling the industry what we want. As such... What we are facing is anti consumerism in an industry that has allowed itself to become what it claims to hate.
@@misanthropicattackhelicopt4148 I don't think anything will happen to them tbqh(rarely do activist types face real consequences) but I think their efforts will also amount to MUCH less this time. When GG1 happened the mainstream gaming press had a LOT more influence and frankly a lot of people had no idea what was even happening so they just took the mainstream articles at face value. This time though everyone knows what happened with SBI and that situation is a lot less convoluted then the Quinn stuff.
"How can we suck the joy out of the lives of people?" "Have we done video games?" "Yes, but we got caught and people got angry." "When did that happen?" "A few years ago." "So it's time to double down." "Make it so!"
My husband works in game development, and he said, "Never screw with gamers, they'll unite together faster and stronger than any other fan-base." They have tried to crack gamers before...good luck with that!
It's about the only thing that will distract us from the console/PC wars

It's even worse, the CEO gets a a generous compensation for ESG and then, even if the game flops or the studio is shut down, the execs cash-in some bonus while the real workers are fired.
Can you imagine the uproar if a white person said they only hired white people to create a safe environment? I'm black and was speechless listening to that BS. I don't understand why some people constantly want to go back to segregation
32 million people min are in the know about SBI … in a span of two weeks… I am proud of my fellow gamers. Clearly these ESG demons never were in a MW2 lobby..
9:10 Oh, as a German, I can play that card as well: "We have had exactly 0 German protagonists in the top 25 bestselling games of the last three years. That list also includes 0 Austrians, 0 Swiss, and 0 Dutchies."
If the goal of diversity and inclusion is to let people identify with people different from them on the screen, insisting everyone has to be someone you can identify with (while forcing other people to identify with your self-identification) is entirely the opposite, proving the entire thing is a farcical power grab riding the slipstream of media and corporate backing.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. They deserve no respect whatsoever. Be vulgar, rude and unpleasant and then deny you ever said such things. Use their own tactics against them.
Having another Gamergate is actually pretty fitting. We had the first one when all the woke trash was first really getting it's foot into the game industry back in like 2010-2012. It took it's course and now the majority of people are realizing how much it really messed things up. And so just like the overall woke trend as a whole, it's on the decline and on the way out, and we have another Gamergate to send it off
Meanwhile at DEI headquarters (gaming division).... "We're under attack! The gamers have started noticing things! Quick get Anita to stop marrying herself and get her down here! Fire up the gaming journalists Twitter accounts and offer them their usual fee of 50 entire dollars. We might even need the big guns, have Kotaku stop writing about imperialism in Palestine and tell them it is all hands on deck!"
They don't like Anita anymore; she made them look bad and didn't share her attention with others. That's why Anita didn't know that CDPR already hired a dei team in 2017 when they were being called sexist and racist everyday over themes in the witcher.
Az I agree with everything you say but you get Vanguard and Blackrock's roles wrong. Blackrock and Vanguard don't issue loans because they're not banks. Blackrock and Vanguard make financial products that investors buy like index funds and ETFs. They essentially buy stocks in a basket of companies that represent either the whole of the market or a sector. They then turn around and sell investors shares of that basket and collect an extremely small fee for this service. That's what makes Vanguard and Blackrock popular. And because so many investors use their products they amass enough shares to award a board seat(s) to whomever they want and put pressure on the C-suite to adhere to ESG guidelines. That's what makes this so much more offensive, they're not even doing this with their own money. They're doing it with ours.
Games are expensive to make because of worthless "consultants" like Sarkesian. The industry needs to return to the days of a couple of programmers and artists building games. Everyone else on the payroll is literally deadweight.
And what I hate about it is that many comic fans, including myself, love that character, the Paul Dini version of course, and now I can't stand her. Thanks a buch DEI.
Saw your Lego village in the background. I want it to go with my blacksmith shop, but I don't have space for it. Oh yeah sad women throw fake wedding for 40th birthday, but she's apparently happy.
It will be a lot harder for the gaming press to run defence this time because they have become so irrelevant since Gamergate, probably in part due to them betraying gamers last time around. I dont think they will be able to control the narrative this time.
Just wanted to add to that. Every time I hear one of the "mainstream" game presses names like Kotaku - i'm surprised that they still exists. I think I last read an article on IGN back when GG was going strong.
I genuinely appreciated the tutorial... as I had no understanding of what the original "gamer-gate" was about. "A sequel... i'm not even done hating the first one yet" - Statler & Waldorf
It's actually like boycotting final fantsy to they just censored tifa so in fact we need to add rules no censorship if you need to remake the ao rating for this occasion well let it be sold in stores to and 8f not being sold by stores well buy it online they'll lose to much money not selling them soon enough and then we finally get x rated games again
You´re mistaken - THEY want monopoly on decisions who can and who cannot be racist - but that´s just a by-word for ´we can decide and give orders and you can only obey and shut the f8ck up´. That´s basically it.
"The best way to be in a safe environment is be around people just like me"... As someone who lives in a metropolitan city like London this message resonates with me.
Marxists never stop trying to advance their agenda, no matter how many times it fails. That's why they control all the institutions now and the only admirable trait about their cancerous existence.
Looked forward for Witcher remake. Not so much anymore. I will wait and see how much they have bend the knee. Can we still be the Bitcher or will Gerald be called a sexist and make him look weak and Triss is saving everything because Women.
Casuals are infantilizing escapisms, hobbies, arts, media and diminishing the difficulty, stories and overall quality of gaming, undermining our collective popular culture. Make no mistake, this is an insidious psyop against not just us in the present, but a horrid act of warfare against future generations who cannot speak for themselves. If you distort or destroy the modern day mythos a people tell each other, you can degrade the caliber of the thoughts that they can form, and ultimately destroy them as a People.
Remember folks, all this fuss is over a Brazilian dude making a curated list on Steam about games that had Sweet Baby work on them in some capacity. That’s it.
Thank you AZ for keeping this information at the front of the industry. We need everyone to keep this information flowing so that everyone can see what a 3-ring circus the gaming industry has become at the hands of neo-marxist idiots. Companies like Sweet Baby Stink need to be boycott into the shadow realm.
If I commit a “micro aggression” can I give you a “micro apology”? Using my middle finger, of course. Or my first two fingers to honor my UK friends. Another great video, Az.
this "micro agression" term is totally ridiculous, it just enables people to get upset for the most trivial reasons. "I don't like my coffee black"... "gasp.. oh no you didn't!"
@@michaelxz1305I have actually heard the coffee one before. Same with cars. I once heard someone say they didn’t want a black car and they caught hell for it.
@@BootySweat4491 I lived in China (a part where it gets hot in the summer).. all the cars are white.. (well it is by far the most common color).. obviously it's because white doesn't absorb the heat the way dark colours do. So there are genuine reasons (apart from looks) for not wanting a black car.
@@Dandoskyballer it’s so refreshing isn’t it I stuck on Tony Hawks pro skater 3 and same thing I have unlocked Darth Maul and Wolverine as playable characters now they would cost what 5-10 dollars each
I work in an engineering and design company, dealing with multi million dollars projects. And I absolutely hate the person sitting right next to me. But I'm a professional. We can hate each other and still do our respective jobs. I don't need a safe space to work. Dealing with assholes is part of every job.
@@jimthar17 It still is considered so The thing is, it was a joke by 4chan to see if the incredibly "intelligent" people within the media would actually fall for it, and they did. It was never a real thing, but the media took the bait.
the vast majority of people don't believe microaggressions are a thing regardless of ethnicity gender hell even most leftists don't we are talking about a subsection of a subsection of a subsection of people the same people who unironically use the term womyxn and latinx
It's well past time to stop giving money companies that show themselves to be on board with this crap. There is no more "I'm sorry." They need to go out of business.
@@haterdesaint she kind of reminds me of current day fashion designers making those ridiculous outfits no one would be caught dead in but to their small circle of psychopaths they're genius. Kinda like those male bikini bottoms with only one strap like a pecker eye patch.
The problem with both GGs is that the gamers don't change. If you want to escape ESG and DIE, then play indie games made by little studios who don't have HR departments or need giant loans to make the games. Yes, you will miss your big badass games...but those are already dead anyway, aren't they? Until these companies fail, they won't stop.
Indie is barely better, stop the cope A large chunk of indie games are pixel garbage and the majority of indie devs are woke activist types who love the idea of DIE Just research everything behind the game before buying or just stop buying any games all together and linger around on what you already have
There was a time when people shyd away from early access indie games... now its the only place to get your raw gaming in, bugs and all. Real games by real gamers
@@SergalCheeseHead You are right, some of the indie games are just as bad if not worse. But I don't play those. The indie game market is far larger, so you can avoid the DIE garbage if you want.
Am a retro gamer and I am glad, I can’t stand all this woke crap at the moment destroying everything.

So glad I grew up in an era where Mario and Sonic were just games, and not some BS made up racism and sexism loaded crap so some fools can whine and cry online and trash what others like/enjoy.
I gave my series X away to my nephew and sold the ps5, currently am playing a ps2 and enjoying some old classics,the only modern console I use is my switch lite and I don’t use it online it’s for gaming on the go.
You touched upon the funding from BlackRock and Vanguard - this relationship between funding and political ideology needs to be understood with every telling of the result - which is companies like Sweet Baby Inc. It all goes back to what the CEO of BlackRock said - which is change needs to be FORCED upon people. This has never worked in history in the long term. The landscape with games, culture, and values continues to be pushed in the wrong direction. Thank you for all you do Az in pointing it out!! More games need to be crowdfunded to remove the power of these big corporate investment firms.
Well, DHS is at least waist deep in the Fed's attempts to end run the First Amendment. Mind, it's spread around, so you've got big chunks at the FBI, CIA, DARPA, and the NSF that I'm aware of.
A Canadian company complained about a Brazilian national, and the U.S. Department of Homemade Insecurity got involved, as they fund a company supposedly unconnected to the Canadian company.
It’s because, the ESG = Epste¡n, S0R0S, Gates. And, the Blight of the WEF wastrels trying to normalize Their fetid rot, while undermining our popular culture. This is how the vandals and barbars always war against civilization, it always starts with the diminishing of our stories, the destabilization of our communities and ultimately the destruction of us as a People.
I didn't pay attention to the first Gamergate when it happened but it's interesting seeing this play out in real time. The quality of videogames has obviously declined much like TV and film, all because of the same group of people. Tired of it. I just want great media again.
What we really need is a means of knowing what games have these "Narritive Consultants," so we can just not buy their products. Then we will see how long this lasts.
that's exactly what the Sweet baby detected Steam curator group is for and that's why these companies want it shut down. it's the whole reason there is a "gamergate 2"
@chemicalBRO That's why it'd be better to have one that focuses on ALL "consultant" teams, not just SweetBaby, since we all know they're not the only ones. @nickknight4054 Or we could just stop relying on other people to inform us how NOT to spend our money by doing our own research. It's not that hard to do a reverse look-up if you know the name of the dev team and publishers.
"Validate has a team of mostly...mostly?...ALL people of color. We have no white people on our team. I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment, and I know the best way for an environment to be safe is to be around people who are just like me." That's going to age like fresh milk in the Sahara... "And I'm not saying white people in the industry are creating safe... UNsafe environments. I'm not saying that. That is not what I'm saying. I'm saying that sometimes it is hard to work with white people because they may think that something was OK, but it was really a microaggression." So...uh...the best way to create a safe environment is to only include people "like you" (black)? That would mean including people who aren't "like you" (white) would create and UNsafe environment. I know it's difficult to understand what words mean sometimes, particularly when your head is full of propaganda, but if you're saying the only safe environment is one that includes no white people, then you are absolutely saying that white people are the ones who make an environment unsafe. But let's look at a couple of other definitions, shall we? Diversity - the state of being diverse; variety the practice of including or involving people from a range of different social *and ethnic* backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc. Equity - the quality of being fair and impartial Inclusion - the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those who have physical or intellectual disabilities and members of other minority groups Refusing to hire white people means you are objectively not inclusive. You have excluded a person or people from your organization specifically because they are from an ethnic background you have specifically chosen to exclude. Choosing to exclude someone from a group for no other reason than the color of their skin is unequitable. And by consciously choosing to EXCLUDE people from your group / organization based on their ethnicity, your organization has artificially limited diversity. So, well done crazy black lady; you've completely failed at DEI...but neither you nor your fellows who preach DEI are intelligent (or honest) enough to realize it. And, of course, if we switched the word 'white' for any other ethnicity, her statements would be immediately denounced as the worst kind of bigotry.
They're hypocrites. Always have been. The media runs cover for them and silences dissent. It's the only way to, essentially, create the comfortable environment bigots (on the far left in this case) need to thrive. This woman's never been challenged on her core beliefs.
You’re confused because your definitions are outdated. Diversity = Less White/Fewer Whites Equity = Equality of Outcomes OR Lowering Standards to the Lowest Common Denominator Inclusion = Excluding Straight White Cis (gentile) Males
I foresee a big bump for RU-vidrs that will soon begin screening new games to see if they were funded, directly or indirectly, by Black Rock, Vanguard, etc. Hopefully, this will allow gamers to make more informed decisions on which games to purchase, and possibly put an end to the ESG rating scam.
