be CEO of game company
literally be the boss of everyone and have final say on development choices
decide to make bad investments on faux diversity, overwork employees, rush games, prioritize gambling
gamers don’t care about my decisions and get mad at my underlings
Feels good man
Props to this guy, but why do these people get so much attention?
They just spew constant drivel and complain about women and minorities, I know why they're relevant but still, WHY? HOW?
they all have youtube channels that inexplicably have like millions of subscribers
Is it really that inexplicable? Trump got millions of votes. 30% of the vote in France went to a right-wing party. There are a ton of people who think too much diversity is a problem in media. (Thankfully, no one outside of their circles takes them seriously, but still.)
Like, real talk, this whole culture war chud shit infects at least 30% of Anglos. (I'm lowballing here... don't want to know the real number.)
The propaganda used in the gaming space is very similar to the propaganda used to agitate people against migrants. The right has recognised that gaming has had a specific type of audience for some time and is going through a sort of audience-change process as it grows. What they identified was that they could agitate among the audience that has already been in gaming for some time by posing those coming into the medium in the same way that migrants are posed, a force for bad that is changing their medium in a negative way that affects them.
EDIT: Expanding on this, the
is essentially the agitated white man angry about the foreigners invading his country and taking his jerbs, except it's mildly changing things in videogames. Couple this with the fact the industry is getting worse due to the monetisation and corporatisation and the explanation for why everything is getting worse ends up being "the immigrants" instead of "the CEOs".I probably sound partially mad for making this comparison but w/e it makes sense in my head.
You aren't crazy. A lot of the Alt-Right intelligentsia cut their teeth on Gamergate, and would translate that experience to 2016 and beyond.
“Many people don’t care about CEOs”
Tangential note, but one thing I hate about techbros online is how whenever someone talks about how they’re struggling to get a job, immediately everyone blames “diversity hires” as if they’re only hiring black people and women, yet if you look at the numbers the tech industry is like 60% white and 90% male
But what if it were 90% white and 99% male? Makes you think.
Yeah, I work in tech and it's bullshit. Not diversity hires; the outrage. 9/10 times the "diversity hires" are just as competent and efficient as any white guy and often they are very good. There's a lot of "I will prove myself" attitude there. White guys are mad they can't coast by anymore. The jig is up.
The CEO of sweet baby AOC is now a billionaire thanks to EA caving to her demands that white men in Gears Of War 14 wear cat ears.

He did it wrong. Comment #2 is just a lie. No gaming company did that.
There's no need for epic Jon Stewart take down exposes, these people are getting away with it by endlessly lying.
Apex Legends is like DEI central and it's been at the top for years
Whenever I see “DEI” I think it’s some new crypto coin I haven’t heard of yet
I always think of Opus Dei.
Jerec was the villain in literally my very first video game when I was 4, so this person is presumably older than me and thinks this way.
