Current Events > More Drama Concerning Narrative Designer Affiliated with Sweet Baby Inc

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why is this a thing?

Why does this matter?

Ganergate2 - this time with extra snowflake

Gamers: "Haha I am now validated for my constant crying fits about woke!"

We've seen campaigns against nobody racists before, why is this one a problem?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Because "See? See? The gaming industry is letting SweetBaby write every single video game and now they'll all be infected with anti-white racism!"

Half of CE: "Who gives a shit what a random nobody says? Literally who? This is more GamerGate/anti-woke bullshit"

Other half of CE: "Why are we defending racism now? Hmm hmm? This is about principle and ethics!"

I thought we needed to be calling this shit out every time racism rears its ugly head, we need to let those disgusting racists know that we won't tolerate this kind of hate and disgusting beliefs. How can a campaign against hate and racism ever be anything but good for society, right y'all.

And no, I'm not outraged at this, and it's hilarious that you used the word "performative", since it appears that all the pearl clutching and bullhole clinching of the past was actually performative, and the concepts of judging or discriminating or hating groups of people based on immutable characteristics really isn't so bad sometimes, even if it should be punished.

I think theres absolutely a mid ground between this. People post randos being racist or otherwise horrible on twitter here a lot, and they rightfully get called out. This woman deserves to be called out for her views that she chooses to make public.

What is not okay is using this one racist woman as a scapegoat to start a crusade against the EVIL WOKE GAMING INDUSTRY.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Yeah, any time the anti-woke crowd starts whining about racism, their real argument is "If your side's racism is okay, then my racism is okay."

Because even if you go "racism against white people is bad too", they'll just continue on their little tirade. It's not about stopping bad things. It's about proving everyone is equally shitty, but they're superior because they don't pretend to be virtuous!

appears based on what, according to who?

You say the fight's already over since she's been fired, and it may be true, but I'd argue that without the campaign, the real problem here, she wouldn't have been.

Oh, so now it's an institutional problem of racism and bigotry against white people?

All this because it wasn't enough for people to just bitch and moan about developers going woke. They had to pick a contractor/consultant out of the credits and make them responsible for all the "problems". Oh, and then someone at that rando company turned out to be racist? Oh god the rot is even worse than we thought! We're vindicated! I had a valid reason to be mad that Sam Lake put a black woman in his game!

Do you think the people complaining about this lady on twitter, ever complain about racism in society when it impacts minorities ?

just don't be racist

Are wanting companies to monitor and dictate employment by reading through employees social media?

They are self-proclaimed domestic terrorists

For sure they do.

But if people are saying it's a failure of the company when someone does get hired after tweets get dug up then that's saying that this should be a universal part of vetting employees.

Yes. She's racist as fuck. Why is this a 100+ reply topic?

How do you think this whole controversy came about? The anti-woke crowd (alt-right white nationalists, etc.) are using this as fuel for their fires.

I'm glad I didn't have to sift through hundreds of posts to find the instance of "Racism and bigotry is okay as long as it makes the side I hate upset"

CE gonna CE.

I guess I'm just not seeing any fires being stoked. All I see is an insanely racist person being called out for their atrocious views and rightfully being punished for it.

Then you're missing the greater context.

This person is being used to call out Sweet Baby, EA and the Black Panther game.

The only reason this was found at all was due to people searching through the social media of every Sweet Baby employee.

Dont know why posters are supporting any of her statements. In fact, Id bet shed be pissed theyre out there white knighting for her!

Okay, I was one of those posters, but that's still pretty funny.

So you agree there is an issue with lack of representation in video games in general?

Don't don't start that

So surely they spend their days outraging over ALL racism on Twitter and not just from employees of consulting firms that they fear are taking video games away from white males.

You still run into people on here who try and defend that shitbaggery.

I didn't start anything. The biggest issues that these people have are that non-white people are in video games. And yeah this person is a shit person. But people are acting like this ain't what is behind this campaign .

This person's social media got a target on its back when the Steam curator group thing happened. This particular instance isn't purely because of being a Sweet Baby employee.

*random nobody mobile dev dated someone who worked at gaming website*

*random nobody is loud feminist and woke*

"See? See? Women are sleeping their way to the top and they're getting way with it because the industry calls them strong and independent! I totally am only mad at the ethical implications and I don't have some cringy incel agenda! Video games are gonna die!"

This lady is blatantly racist, but I only know about her because of multiple GAMEFAQS topics

Yeah she sucks but why hyper focus on one person.

Is she racist? Obviously, it's super clear. Are the people digging up everything on her doing it because they have a narrative to push that's in itself problematic and based in bigotry? Obviously they are.

I'll say the same thing I said the last time I bothered going in a topic about her, she's become a liability and any company she works for is likely never going to let her get anywhere near hiring/firing power ever again.

Now can we please shut up about her?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Because it is.
You can tell by all these people suddenly very concerned about racism when its from a black woman, but before that, crickets.
