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.
The Pareto principle has always existed, but I have to imagine it’s a lot harder to sell 20% of the employees on doing 80% of the work when you also demonize them for their identity and consistently pass them by for pay raises and promotions.
I also imagine it was less frustrating to cover for your incompetent coworker when she was a cute flirty blonde or a well-meaning fellow nerd - as opposed to an openly hostile dyke hambeast or a minority grievance farmer.
When I was in the corporate world I grew more and more resentful every day having to cover for all the diversity hires. It’s even worse when you work under one that you have 30 IQ points on.
To be fair, most people are bad at their jobs. In tech, 10% of people tend to do all the work, and everybody else is just bopping around or a manager. Diversity hiring just made an existing problem worse.
Elon was able to fire like 80% of Twitter with no loss in performance. Tells you something. If a company is financially successful, eventually it becomes a feudal nation with courtiers. The girls in this video strike me as courtiers.
