Sweet Baby Inc Writers PANIC as Conservative Values SURGE + Microsoft FIRES Woke Agenda Pushers 

Thank you for watching! Things are changing & this is where we can finally move the needle, but is that a good thing? MEMBERSHIPS ARE NOW LIVE!!! G-FUEL CODE: ENDYMION G-FUEL LINK: sldr.page.link/L53U Instagram: endymionn Twitter: EndymionYT

"Cis" is a bigoted slur, every time one of these people say it they are showing what they are.

Anyone associated with CryBabyInc should be blacklisted.

I agree with Grumms 90% of his arguments. However I never forgive those who said that I was sexist, racist, P-word, potential violent person all because I stood up and defended Anime and Japanese Entertainment from BOTH Sides that were attacking it. I had to defend my hobbies in the 90s and early 2000s against the Boomers. I had to defend my hobbies in 2010s against the Wokies, until I was cancelled and never allowed to work in the Games Industry because I wouldn't bend the knee right when I was about to look for work within it. NEVER FORGIVE for the stuff they said to me and so many others. Just vote with your wallets, research your local representatives and make sure to never vote for a Jack Thompson or an Anita Sarkisian because those people are on BOTH Sides of the political spectrum.

Microsoft hasn't removed anything, they're just rebranding their DEI under a different name.

We're not out of the woods yet, we have to be more concerned about BRIDGE. Even though DEI is being thrown under the bus, but BRIDGE is something to keep an eye on.

Despite the fact they usually HATE, demonize and patronize you, they desperately want you to feel bad when they lose their jobs. Flawless logic.

DEI is calling itself BRIDGE now. Hold the line.

They are freaking out now that they are realizing how much money they keep loosing, and these companies will throw DEI under the bus to save themselves. But never forget how eagerly they embraced it.

"Many of us including me have been accepting this stuff and letting it get worse" not me. I've been calling this shit out since 2007. I even had Ming-Na Wen asking me " what's forced diversity" on Twitter. The biggest dog pile I ever got on twitter.

We have been rejecting that crap for more than 10 years. They are only realizing this now?

I think it's absolutely HILARIOUS how they say that DEI is "no longer smart", as if it ever WAS. They really can't admit when they make a mistake, can they? The egos on these people....

They only fired 1 DEI group. Microsoft has at least 69 other DEI groups that need to go and Japan needs to release DOA uncensored like it was during the original XBox and early XBox360 era. Also all those Game Journalists are exposing themselves for who they really are.

Sweet Baby Inc - Strong Arm Extortionists. "Make them give you what you want or you will go to their marketing team and tell them what you will put into the media and see how they respond" - SBI Spokesperson. Ash - Conspirator and racketeer via online means. Transmitted online - Wire Fraud

I am willing to forgive the average person. I will NEVER forgive the influencers, journalists and politicians that caused this. NO ONE should.

It feels good having the pendulum finally swinging back

Note, Jack didn't cancel the tour. The venues cancelled on him. Jack is just trying to save his ass and pray that people forget how he himself called for violence against Trump and Trump supporters.

Australia canceled their tour... not Jack Black. Australia was even considering deporting them.

ive heard talk that BRIDGE is just rebranding DEI at the moment. celebrating microsoft's dismissal of their DEI team should wait until we are sure the ideology is actually on its way out.

"I was only following orders" is a very old line for a reason.

“The response was death threats” still no receipts. Not a single valid threat shown. What lying hacks.

Looks like people are waking up to the woke

And yet they refuse to learn and still look for scapegoats. I agree with another comment when it says we are not out of the woods yet. DEI will still try to sneak in, but at least we are diligent.

Remember when DOA3, DOA Xtreme, DOAX2 and DOA4 appeared on Xbox and Xbox 360 as exclusives? Pepperidge Farm remembers

I don't believe jack. He has a movie coming out. That's the only reason he did this

"Everything I am and have done has been done in spite of this country not because of it." That's one of the most ignorant things I've heard in a while. She doesn't recognise the irony of her freedom to declare that from a platform and career that would be a pipe dream for some people to own in some other countries. The very fact that she was able to make that argument on Twitter alone disproves her whole point and that's just scratching the surface.

The microsoft thing is more like... "We already have ppl trained in DEI here in the HR and all over the company, soo we dont need a DEI departament anymore". I wiill not commemorate until i have total proff that DEI is completely expunged from the industry.

IT TOOK THEM AGes to know that DEI is bad for business

What is forgiveness? It’s one thing to understand where someone came from and accept that they’ve changed their mind. It’s another to trust them moving forward. People are totally ill-prepared by our education system to think for themselves. The radicals will regroup and redeploy the same high pressure, cult-like persuasion tactics. I don’t trust that my fellow countrymen will fundamentally change HOW they think.

If DEI devisions are being removed, it just means that it will be ingrained into the entire company

MS getting rid of DEI is like saying BRIDGE don't exist!

The fun.fact is it will take them years to produce good content, youknow with a decent story, good looking characters and so on. Because they lost all their talents by firing them or they simply left, the worse part is between the funding and launch of a game, their is several years. So, yeah, they will still loose money for the next years. They choose their faction, i ll let them cry me a river before i think to come back.

Some people, like Ash, will not be saved. I don’t mean that in some physical way. I mean that if the tide of rhetoric in this country REALLY turns as far as it could, people like her will stay DEEP in their Twitter bubble, block more people on every platform than freaking Steve Shives, and tell themselves in the mirror everyday (because most people have left her life and aren’t around to tell her) that she is special, and loved, and worthy etc. And she’ll write articles, and less and less people will read them, but to her it won’t matter because she will have convinced herself that she’s getting millions of interactions.

Ash is an example of why many in my family consider Americans a joke. I feel that deep down, Ash knows she is privileged to live in the States, a place that grants her freedom of speech, she knows that she would be screwed if she made similar statements in other countries, but she will never admit it because, in her mind, that would mean admitting defeat

I'm still skeptical about this, I'll keep my guard up

I believe it when I see it.

DEi may evolve to BRIDGE, the fight is not yet over.

Not even just conservative but common sense based thick-skinned and truly creative values. Not to mention intellectual/artistic honesty.

Nobody wants politics in their games. No one intelligent anyway :P

Sweet baby inc. should never be allowed in the gaming industry.

They demoralized too much and now will act like they changed for the only purpose to get you back in line. Then it will continue again.

It's funny that the SBI people (and their allies) STILL can't understand what the problem people have with them is. They say they didn't intentionally try to ruin games, which I believe, but they can't seem to grasp the idea that their meddling and influence is something that a lot of gamers don't want in the gaming industry. They're simply to self-absorbed with their own desires and agenda to realize lots of people don't want what they want.

I heard Destiny (streamer) got kicked out of Kick.

Rules for thee but not for me. Typical.

It started with tolerance, which extended into the misconception that tolerance meant acceptance. You tolerate things you do not like, you accept things you do like. The assumption that gamers tolerated the DEI agenda meant they accepted it has led us here; people have reached their limits of tolerance and are now proceeding to the next phase, which is to reject. I am in it for the long game. I think the DEI office at microsoft is either undergoing an acronym change, is being outsourced, or is being directly integrated into their individual teams. I'm pretty confident that the DEI office was not the only part of the company filled with insane ideologues. If these companies want my money, then all they need to do is start producing good games again. They spent the better half of a decade loosing my trust, and I suspect it will take at least as long to regain it. Similarly with Sony; until they shutter their entire CA office I will not purchase their products.

Really do hope we got back to my childhood in the 80s were Diversity was natural along with Family Values oh and Merit based hiring systems. America became the #1 country in the world because of them systems. I do feel for Jack Black but hey his side push the "guilt by association" never thinking it could be used on them as well

Only the part about Jack Black isn't true. Jack Black didn't just cancel his tour and put his band on hold. The venues that he had booked to play at cancelled his shows and refunded ticket sales, not Jack Black. He again uses sleight of hand to seem altruistic, while the cancellations had nothing to do with his feelings.

Thing is all of this political shit really started when Trump ran for president in 2016. Idk why we would hire an electrician to fix our plumbing.

Them claiming that we're not gaining ground against them is just proof that they have no idea what's going on outside of their safe spaces.

I was having a hard time figuring out why God of War, Gotham Knights and Spider-man 2 all felt so meh to me, I kept trying to like it even forcing myself but I just couldn't do it man. Then I started seeing lists of games that SBI has touched and then I finally realized why...

21:10 Ok, the Australian offical calling for revoking the visas of people simply because they made a really bad statement is just authoritarian to me. And him saying that grump will be the "47th" president just tells you where his allegiance lies. Against cancel culture, until someone they don't like is being canceled. Then they're all in on it.

We're still behind the curve: Gavin Nuisance just signed into law a "don't tell parents" bill about California LGBTQ school children.

It's funny how those Jurnos trying to say "We are not political" but then go out of their way to write articles about politics and not about games.

Sweet baby will keep on Going downhill, and sadly with our favorite Games 😢

When I was watching the video I saw an ad that said DEI must DIE, and the crazy thing that I saw in that was when the guy that used to work at Hasbro, but then he had to go to a meeting and it involved DEI about them saying ridiculous stuff like of a white child develops racial thoughts at like age 3 or 4 and when I heard that I was like what the hell.

The change is so good to see, I was honestly filled with despair seeing the constant echo chamber the internet was in. I’m so excited for nuance to return to discussion. Thanks to you Endymion, people like you spreading the message is the only thing that keeps me in the loop on this crazy stuff.

I'm still skeptical about this let's hope Microsoft listen to us

Canadians probably should get into politics and deal with their national nepotism, they certainly like to preach at America.

I think we’re going to start seeing more of the the East dominate the west. They are taking advantage of the woke void. Look at games like first descendent. Look at those characters. Then compare it to concord. Which live service do you think is going to do better? People need to stop denying the fact that things like aesthetics, themes, colors, character faces, and so on don’t matter. They so do. It’s what catches your attention to wanna try a game in the first place. Do you know why so many people are trying first descendants? It’s because of those characters. Then they find out it’s actually fun. But if those characters look like western woke characters, no one would want to try it in the first place. So where these things matter is that initial appeal. How can you expect somebody to try your game when the cover itself is unappealing? Do you know why they say don’t judge a book by its cover? Because we do.

Its like a white phosphorus flare was shot into the sky and now we see where all the monsters are lurking. It's sad to see that there are any at all.

It’s nice to see all the stuff that us conservatives and libertarians have been trying to warn people for the last 12 years in theory people finally see the application and why it’s so damming and are having enough of it. I just wish we didn’t have to lose so much for people to finally get it.

When will they learn that DEI does not unite it divides.

good microsoft thumbs up 100% aproved

You don't shit where you eat. Game and politics shouldn't intertwine. Tge reason why dune is so good is that it was written decades ago and nothing changed about it. Each race belongs to where it fits, but it's so hard for people to support what that doesn't push what they support. Most nerds doesn't want anything to do with politics, that's why it hurts seeing our favourite franchise being used as a tool to tell us how to live

Ash Parrish out here complaining how horrible the USA is for her. Nobody is forcing you to stay there, you're allowed to leave. But you never will, will you?

Damn Grumz, well said, wrote a frikin' dissertation on the socio-political landscape of America. Good Shit.

As a modern day society, there shouldn't be no violence in politics.

The Bohemian Club was founded by a group of 'journalists.' Journalists are seen as lone wolf, fearless truth seekers, but perhaps they should be seen more as agents of a coordinated narrative, even generators of that narrative, or pawns for the people who generate narratives.

These idiots created their own worst nightmare via the Streisand effect. You tried to silence someone for speaking out against you and now more people have rallied around them. You then cry about it on social media and go out of your way to twist things in your favor says so much. You can’t handle criticism and you stupidly go more off the rails cramming more DEI crap into more of your clients’ games. Then the people find out you made things worse and there is more outrage from normal people. It’s a double perpetual motion machine, one side does something, the other side responds with outrage, the first side doubles down and does more of what they already did, the other side responds with an equal amount of outrage, and the loop repeats indefinitely, perpetually, or infinitely. I’m pretty sure South Park pointed this out in the Into the Panderverse special. The extremes on both sides keep fighting each other and the fighting makes nearly everything worse.

Were DEI programs ever "profitable" to begin with? Paying salaries to glorified HR jannies seem like an unnecessary expense to appease the terminally online that were never going to consoom product to begin with.

All this woke dei stuff started out small. First it was making women in video games less attractive. There was likely a sales dip, but the games still made a lot of money. The game developers very stupidly thought they could still make money by averting the male gaze and doubled down. Meanwhile Microsoft and Xbox put out new consoles that pushed development cycles to 7-10 years, now they have a pipeline of games too late in the development cycle to meaningfully fix. The cost would be so high, that even if it was a hit the games would still loose money. Studios got greedy, pumping out live service games they thought would be a money printer for them and failed miserably. We are looking at a gaming apocalypse on the same level as Atari- e.t the extraterrestrial.

would love evidence of this "panic". These people are true believers. They honestly believe you're part of a very tiny vocal rounding-error minority and that everyone is onboard the woke train

I just wish they’d make games we want to play. It’s possible to make great games steeped in left wing values but if you proselytize, you fail, no different than a Jehovah’s Witness. Seriously, who played Hades and cared it was queer from start to finish? It was baked into the story and made sense. Same with diversity. There have been divert smash hits in the past decade - think Moana or Encanto. The problem isn’t really The Message, it’s the people. They’re just not very good story tellers, for the most part. And it’s because there is only one story they want to tell.

Sweet baby inc is the problem they keep changing everything and destroying the creativity of the writers and artist to make a narrative.

Can I say I really appreciate That Park Place, actually pushing back against the mainstream narratives and not mincing words just saying straight up what it is.

The time for moral high ground has come to an end, a really long while ago, because every time that we said enough they would always push us off the cliff.

This announcement from Microsoft after the abysmal performance of Sony's Concord...coincidence?

Gina carino was fired for saying what Grummz is now saying too. It was common sense 3 years ago and is still today

It's always about what's wrong with the other side. No one cares for introspection these days. Not that it would matter - because eventually the crazies need to be addressed, but it's not like anything can be done about it.

14:20-14:35??? no i completely disagree with mark kern on this. no way these people should be forgiven because these people lack any sort of will of their own and frankly that is their fatal flaw forever tied to their lives! and no amount of grifting that these people will do will convince otherwise because they chose the wrong side and that side is wokeism. if anyone wants to convince me to take mr kern's advice please go ahead.

Please let this be true! Because i don't want DEI to effect gears of war E day and this might make them fix Johanna face in the perfect dark game

19:27 - I strongly disagree with that point. Redfall hadn't failed because it was woke, it failed because the studio behind it (who only wanted to work on singleplayer games) was **forced** to make live service slop, and none of the employees liked it. By the time it released, many quit.

I'm a veteran of the US Army and etc, with PTSD and TBI. i didn't fall for this BS and met many veterans that see through this stuff. many left the military right when they enforced the covid vaccines.

I can't stand the explanations. They are the worst. Constant 'i am pi***ng on your shoes but don't worry, it is just rain!'

Here's a tip for people like Jack and his group, follow the advice your parents should teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all, if you would've kept silent on it due to how big of a thing it was, you would've had no issue. Also don't celebrate just yet, as one weakens, we have B.R.I.D.G.E to deal with. RU-vid, stop, this is sad.

Forgiveness is possible but they have to make things right in as big a way as they messed it up. We can't bring nack the studios they've shut down or the developers they've pushed out so a large public apology, donating money to based studios like Larian and a few years advocating for gamers will make them alright in my book.

Interesting how mentioning the actual vents of origin don't matter.... despite the omission definitely playing a part in altering perspective.

The tide is shifting. I'd be ecstatic over that... if it weren't taking the form of cancel culture simply swinging the opposite way. I don't relish the idea of far right wingers running rampant in media any more than I did the far left. Different content creators are taking a different tack on this, some quite sensibly are happy at the prospect of undoing the damage the left have done these past years, at returning to a more moderate status quo. But others are showing their true colours as they smugly fantasise not over media returning to being the free and open platform it should be, but over the notion that the shoe is going to be on the other foot, they relish the idea that they are going to get their turn to be the big bully treading on the other side. That worries me.

I also see more ppl turning to Christ which I LOVE as a Moroccan American Christian man. Ppl are seeing the degeneracy, immorality of the highest degree, the effects of extreme progressive ideologies, & it’s making people look to something with good & hope. Often times, it takes something extreme to shake ppl out of apathy & seeing younger men becoming more conservative than ever is fantastic.

The Parrish person is one big liar, and given their ability to read, analyze, and understand a situation makes them a terrible "journalist".

The problem is it may appear these companies are firing DEI agents. However, they're rebranding it to Bridge.

I always enjoy your reporting Endymion but what often comes across in the quotes you reference is how spiteful & immature the people involved are. It's truly worrying that such people are in positions of responsibility. What toxic work environments they must create. Adult toddlers having tantrums are not what society needs.

And then Jack Black and Gass removed their apologies. Tenacious D is done. In the very least, I will never support them again. This isn't cancel culture, this is a natural consequence for literally wishing a follow-up attack to be successful.

Some faith in society restored.

GW still bad though

I hoped the 2024 election is a direct message to those activists running Hollywood that their Political views onto entertainment with established fanbase would not influence their decisions to vote who they liked.

Let's just hope we don't overcorrect in the other direction. Extremism is bad, regardless of whether it comes from the left or the right.

Microsoft may drop the new Fable game once and for all.

Hopefully we can move on, but probably will get worse

In regard to the Jack Black portion of this video. His statement/apology is "too little, too late". On camera he laughed at the statement when it happened. Jack should have made a statement denouncing Gass's statement right then and there. For two reasons. 1. Glorifying/Wishing/Praying for the deletion of another person is wrong, there are no exceptions, PERIOD. 2. They are entertainers. The stage is not the place to soapbox your politics, regardless of which side of the fence you are on. You are paid to entertain, not to spout off politics. Moving forward, I will not monetarily support anything Jack Black is associated. And no that isn't cancel culture. That is me choosing not to support someone that doesn't value human life.
