Fat, purple-haired butch lesbian with insane vocal fry is playing Diablo 4 co-op alongside clueless younger colleague. Highlights include:
-
spamming basic attacks almost the whole time while resource bar is full
-
dying on the easiest difficulty level
-
talking about how both women are products of university game design mills
-
they are both dungeon designers (dungeons are possibly the worst designed aspect of the entire game)
It’s a complete dumpster fire of a video. Tons of people are taking it as total confirmation that diversity hiring practices are what ruined Diablo 4. There are a few detractors in the comments, but they are mostly getting roasted.
Huge mistake by Blizzard. The interviews with various diversity hire devs were bad enough, but there was some plausible deniability there. This is two clear diversity hires, with rubber-stamped credentials, struggling to competently play their own video game. They’re showing off the terrible dungeon design while boasting that their sole contribution to the game was dungeon design. It’s like every anti-woke turbo hitler’s dream come true.
Everyone who is/was working at a major corporation understands diversity hires have destroyed everything.
You can drop "hires" from that statement. I have worked for security for a company, that went all pro-diversity, and filling incident reports has gone from simple, clear, and helpful, to an insanely unhelpful reporting level.
"Tall ugly woman wearing native-y looking clothes caused X incident" turns into "Human wearing brown was in proximity to what looked like X incident" (and of course, even the incident would need to be changed, too). Because you can't assume someone's gender (or beauty standard), height, describe clothes in racist terms, make possibly accusatory statements, etc etc.
their whole core ideology revolves around not describing, or even gaslighting people into anti-reality bullshit. an accurate description of what happens might result in accountability, and even noticing things.
