Oof. Don't think Nepenthe is going to like the low scores they gave to Lucio on things like "culture" and "gender identity" in that chart.

Also:

activision blizzard employes created IN THEIR FREE TIME an UNPAID tool to create inclusive characters INSTEAD OF LIKE HIRING DIVERSE PEOPLE AND LET THIS STUFF BE CREATED ORGANICALLY

It's cute that they think "diverse people" will be able to create acceptable characters for those who have impossible standards.

Ryan seems like a bit of a weirdo so I can see him writing this, then again it would be hilarious if Schreieieieeer just got trolled.

I'm assuming there was some linkedin article for CEOs about how to appear more human to your serfs by doing a regular blog about your insights and thoughts, but hilariously all it has done is expose the vapid banalities of a career-corporate suits inner monologues.
"Boy, kittens are great, aren't they?"

Most CEOs will delegate that job to their internal comms person who will script some completely benign tale about enjoying gardening on weekends or camping with the family. But this is the videogame industry where most people seem incompetent by default and successful through sheer luck, so we get tone deaf takes of abortion, cats and the rest.

posts like this start appearing in the thread:

I dont have a problem with this as soon as everyone gets their share, with women and LGBT+ artists being able to do the same.

Yeah that's my take as well. I understand people being upset at female nudity, but trying to shut it down is puritanism.
Encouraging all body types and all aspects of sexuality to be displayed the same way is true progress.
Luckily some French are leading the way, like Bobbypill's Peepoodoo (super NSFW, you've been warned).

Yes, sex and nudity shouldnt be a taboo thing, same with festishes (of course, everything inside the law and always with consent). Its not just males that like this stuff, I have a ton of female artists friends that are also super pervy in their art becuase they really enjoy it, and thats good. But its a pity that they dont have the same freemdom as male artits to express themselves in that way.
And i watched peepoodoo some months ago and its fantastic.

as well as provocative french art and cartoons, as well as sexy disney gifs





I wonder where the thread is headed?

This thread has run its course. Anything worth discussing has been touched on amidst generalizations about the French and boys club antics.

I hate how there's a successful grift of how the majority has it more worse than the minorities. Like motherfucker, we live in AMERICA. Like random school massacres on a mass scale, hatred of female rights,, cops executing minorities and subsequently assaulting protestors of all colors and shapes for complaining about said brutality and where we rode the transphobia train last election cycle with the big pressing concern was cishet men dressing up as women to go into bathrooms as opposed to I dunno, stopping cishet men raping in general.

If you have a minimum amount of decency and empathy you should understand that this is an egregious violation of a basic human rights.

If this basic right doesn't affect you directly and you have no intention of defending it the only decent thing you can do is to shut the fuck up. That's the bar.

This was an internal email where he told people to respect each other's opinions, presumably in support of pro-life opinions (though has this been confirmed?). It's an incredibly stupid message delivered in possibly the dumbest way possible, but, it's not like he did something illegal, unless I missed something?

lmao this is the dude who's made one of my favorite posts so far this year:

In a better world, these assholes would be identified, banned from the service and presented with criminal charges.

In our world, shareholders care more about the number of users than they do about some of them being harassed or traumatized for life. This sort of tragic event doesn't even register on their radar.

I know that not everyone in this thread can empathize, but rape can happen in many forms and it can fuck you up for life, even if you try to bury it. That woman has to walk out into society under the fear that at any point, under the wrong circumstances, something like that could happen to her, even if where she lives is mostly safe. It's an invisible scar that changes the way you look at people and the world on a subconscious level. It can make you tremble in a sunny bright park full of joy and laughter around you and if you don't understand or don't try to understand the impact that such an event can have in someone's life, you should REALLY shut the fuck up.

Some of us have to live with the trauma that you casually dismiss.

I dont have a problem with this as soon as everyone gets their share, with women and LGBT+ artists being able to do the same.

Now, when they say "as soon as everyone gets their share", what do they mean exactly?

In February 2022 a Gallup poll reported that 7.1% of US adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. 34.6% of LGBT respondents were lesbian or gay, 56.8% were bisexual, 10.0% were transgender, and 4.3% identified as something else. LGBT identity was significantly higher among younger generations (20.8% of Generation Z and 10.5% of Millennials) than older generations (4.2% of Generation X, 2.6% of Baby Boomers, and 0.8% of those born before 1946).

As far as I am concerned, LGBT+ people are well over-represented in artistic pursuits, particularly video game creation and film/TV. So, how about we dial back on the attention that only 7.1% of people in the US get and be fair and reasonable when it comes to representation.

[Uncle]

I do think that particular comment was an era-approved way to say "it's ok for media to be extremely sexy as long as everybody gets to see whatever sexiness they want" which doesn't even imply there shouldn't be hot girls around, because lesbians will be attracted to that as much as straight men

I'm still bothered by what a goddamn idiot he is, even days later.

He seriously needs to go. This shit is way beyond games. You don't want this kind of person in any kind of position of power.

There should be zero disagreements about the abortion issue. No room for 'both siding' this issue whatsoever, especially from a man!!

I imagine he's scrambling to make this shit go away with his PR team as we speak but honestly? He can f*cking forget it.

He can apologize but this shit should've never been uttered let alone sent to everyone internally.

I goddamn hope that every person stood up to this shit and even threatened to leave. I'm also happy Jason covered this.

Jim needs to go away. Bring Shawn back if you need to, he at least was a decent human being and a way better leader/role model.

I think the funniest thing about this is that that tool was made by subsidiary King, and if you look at the games they actually make, the mouth breathers who can't read past the words "Activision Blizzard" are the ones perpetuating stereotypes about who games are made for and what a main protagonist looks like.
