How A Small Video Game Narrative Studio Wound Up At The Heart Of A Massive, Anti-Woke Conspiracy Theory - Aftermath

Are you the author?

Ah yes, Reddit, the epicentre of all wokeness.

The mainstream media picked up on it when actual intelligent games producers chimed in to try to defuse the situation you fragile little man babies were trying to stir up.

It is nothing but conspiracy theories.

If you buy into the bullshit conspiracies then you are a hater. Or a moron. Or both. All 200,000 of you.

If you think the curator isn’t a bigot and/or racist and/or misogynist you’re a fucking idiot.

The CEO of SBI being full of hyperbole doesn’t change any of that.

You say you can “decide for yourself” and then list a handful of links to people pushing their own agenda.

What does "woke" mean?

I love how parkplace is literally the kind of single-minded insanity this article talks about (which is significantly longer than 2 paragraphs btw)

Like, skimming through their articles and you get stuff like this https://thatparkplace.com/wish-actor-harvey-guillen-says-he-believes-disney-will-make-a-queer-princess-in-his-lifetime/ where they relay the quotes then immediately jump to:

If this does indeed happen it’s likely to lose The Walt Disney Company millions of dollars as seen with Lightyear.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yes, it is perfectly possible that the studio's writing work might be a bit shit, I dunno. If you find they are consistently involved with writing you don't enjoy, then sure, whatever. The point of this article is the absolute insanity this kind of stuff gets taken to, like it's a massive conspiracy rather than just the work of another studio managing the struggles and interests of our age.

To quote the 2+n paragraph article:

It’s a conspiracy theory that checks all the boxes: It conveniently explains pretty much everything happening right now, ties it back to organizations of which people are understandably suspicious, links it to a much larger ongoing panic (DEI), validates preconceived notions like “go woke, go broke,” sprinkles in a few kernels of truth regarding powerful interests, and – most importantly – provides a clear and identifiable enemy. It’s also almost entirely bullshit.

The complete lack of a period makes your comment really hard to understand

woke

Gaming's problem isn't wokeness, but are overbloated budgets and scope.

It's not a story when it's a couple of conspiracy theorists making horrifically inaccurate deductions. It's a story when it's hundreds of thousands of people led on by a bunch of horse shit.

when the curator list on steam exceded 200.000 subscribers

They have a discord too.

These are the same people who say things like "I don't care if someone's gay, just don't make it your entire personality." Meanwhile I don't know what the fuck these people talk about in a "SBI worked on these 16 games" Discord group.

Oh, and apparently they had to delete every post in their discussion forums and lock them to make sure they didn't break Steam's rules. Because that's a sign of a group of reasonable people...

show what SBI management have been actually saying before all of this came to light, what their founder and employee have been tweeting

And you don't show that either. As someone who is trying to understand the issue people have with SBI, can you show something the founder / employees have actually said? I'm not going to search through a random webpage / Youtube page to see if they actually have something relevant.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Don't forget the employee who led a harassment campaign against the curator, came back from Twitter suspension just to disrespect Akira Toriyama's legacy.

suck my balls

Nailed it. You know how I know? I see all the down votes.

Woke is anti racist, dingaling. But you knew that.
