I have a brand new insult now: 'Your face is so ugly, its a hate crime to your race'
Yeah the constant complainers on the left are now upset the ugly 'diverse' cast of NPCS are getting meme'd on hard and consider their creation by Bethesda, even though they apparently are all facial scans including the staff that work there (how ugly is your workplace!?!), is problematic and racist (go figure)
If Bethesda wants to avoid this, just dotch the face scans and either get Asians to draw your characters or hell even use the porn game devs, you get less complaints from characters being really hot than horrifically ugly.
As someone who works in a major corporation, what's truly going on is that executive level people are either out-of-touch (but into the propaganda) or they're aware but just trying to ride the gravy train as long as they can before things fall a part.
The problem is that all these leftist people are going to school and getting taught all this leftist crap. HR departments are convinced D&I adds significant value to corporations because that's what they are taught. It's almost like a virus that starts to effect each corporation and executives that fight against it have their careers ruined so the executives just go with it.
It's not saving anyone any money. It's costing companies significant amounts of money because they're hiring untalented people but paying them as if they were talented because it's the only way to get talented people too. Or if they are paying less than they can't get talented people. This D&I stuff that has infected every major corp is leading to reduced quality in all aspects of what these companies do. It's most definitely not helping them make more money. Some executives know it but can't do anything about it. As long as the company pays the CEOs paycheque and shareholders aren't firing them, then they're happy. Nothing else matters.
But also the third one is mandated by the state and/or coercion.
And the first one is mandated by the shareholders.
I envision most teams at this point are comprised of about equal parts “totally useless diversity hires who contribute no value to the project” and “competent white/Asian dudes who are being tasked with 200% work for the same shit pay”. Anyone who is both diverse and competent is making seven figures as a team leader at some Fortune 500 company. Anyone who is white/Asian and legitimately talented has fled the companies to go into business for himself. All the big teams are hemorrhaging money with a combination of diverse saboteurs and criminally overworked white dudes.
That’s why there are three traits and not just two. You can find diverse and competent workers, but they are so rare - and competition for their services is so high - that they can command ridiculous salaries. So you can’t have competent and diverse employees without blowing up your budget.
Reminds me of that based edit of the force awokens that cut out all the generic diversity face reaction shots, cut out some mary sue stuff Rey pulls, stuff like that. It was just some silly thing I only saw on 4chan amd was basically a torrent to download so wasn't even hosted on a proper site.
Suddenly the leftist media was writing all kinds of articles about it. Not enough that you corrupted our lore with feminism and leftism, now the idea that some autists edited a movie for 20 views tops is a hate crime?
Fan edits have become a big thing. There is one that tried to salvage the Obi Wan Kenobi show. Or The Hobbit. Sometimes they work, other times the original material is just so shockingly bad that no fan edit by film students can salvage the material.
It's pretty impressive some of the work they can pull off sometimes. Not just fixing botched or terrible movies, but even things like combining two movies together. The Paradise edit for example actually made the dogshit Prometheus and Aliens Covenant movies work, and that's pretty impressive.
My favorite is the Star Wars prequel edit that added 100% fan-written subtitles to a foreign language dub in order to essentially erase all of the original dialogue from the movie.
We might not have seen the same one but the one I saw played like reversed French dialogue for the Gungans and Trade Federation and subtitled them so the Gungans actually sounded like a warrior race and the Trade Federation guys were committing genocide.
I demand High elf strip clubs in Elder scrolls 6 but they have to be 'Anime Elf' attractive
The left are just as stuck up as the High elves in Skyrim so seeing them degraded.....nah they'll probably get off on that. Keep it anyway cause why not.
It all makes sense when you put a few observations together.
As another user noticed, in the game nobody else can really get anything done and everything is on you.
Everyone walking around looks at you, eyes wide, seemingly astonished and gravely insulted at the same time, Like you're wearing a MAGA hat in Los Angeles.
Therefore, we conclude that you are indeed the last capable, heterosexual caucasian in the game world.
Bing says the lefties are wrong - the faces aren't racist. So just quote this to the fuckwits - "Some people are complaining that the real face scans in Starfield are racist because they believe that they are based on stereotypes, caricatures, or misrepresentations of different ethnic groups. For example, some players have criticized the faces of the Asian NPCs, claiming that they look like "yellowface" or "Fu Manchu" characters from old movies.¹ Others have argued that the faces of the Black NPCs are too dark, too light, or too similar to each other.² Some have also accused Bethesda of whitewashing or erasing the diversity of the Latino NPCs.³
These complaints are based on subjective opinions and personal preferences, and they do not reflect the reality of the face scanning process. Bethesda has stated that they scanned over 300 real people from different backgrounds and regions to create the faces in Starfield. They also explained that they used a sophisticated technology called photogrammetry, which captures the shape, texture, and color of the faces in high detail. They said that their goal was to create realistic and diverse characters that represent the human race in a futuristic setting.
Therefore, the real face scans in Starfield are not racist, but rather a result of a complex and innovative technique that aims to enhance the immersion and authenticity of the game. I hope this helps you understand the issue better. 😊"
They said that their goal was to create realistic and diverse characters
I mean, they did just that. In reality really beautiful people are quite rare, and even being above average is seen as subpar, because we are used to a higher standard (they are working on that though)
That said: Choosing to reflect reality in a videogame (or film, or comic) is quite moronic. If I wanted to have reality, I'd go outside. Then people are akin to whatever Starfield pushes on us but the Framerate is better and it's in 3D without the need for a headset.

The new paradigm for hiring:
Choose two.
But also the third one is mandated by the state and/or coercion.
And the first one is mandated by the shareholders.

I have yet to see this combination actually work.
That’s why there are three traits and not just two. You can find diverse and competent workers, but they are so rare - and competition for their services is so high - that they can command ridiculous salaries. So you can’t have competent and diverse employees without blowing up your budget.
Yup. DICE and CDPR are two perfect examples of this, and the quality of the games over time are reflective of the studio culture.
No no no, YOU are a racist for noticing!
Jesus, the Mary Sue literally targeted a total nobody, for a post that didn't even have 20 likes, and tried to say "all gamers."

Some of the dubbed voices are REALLY good, some not (like Yoda). It's 100% worth a watch, there's some great lines in there.
Going to check it out. Any more recommendations?
"NPCs Mad People Are Mocking NPCs"
Sub heading: "Human NPCs finally receive accurate representation in AAA title, shocked and angered by general response"
Has their development process really turned into "let the fans fix it with a mod"?
No, because they're banning the mods that would improve the game
Apparently their racist, sexist, gross, anti lgbt blah blah blah....
The development model is still the same, but now the commie leaders are exercising woke veto power over the direction of future development.
That used to be true since Oblivion. But now that the main site for those is gone all Politically Correct they'll need to make another one.
Always has been.
Proof that no matter how much you bend the knee it's never enough. Better just to piss them off on purpose and laugh at them when they start whining.

It's kind of like like how no white person can draw a tribute to George Floyd because he literally looked like an A. Wyatt Mann caricature.
Blame Bethesda. I thought they were the enlightened ones
"Todd! You WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!"
(Todd on fire, legs cut off) "IT JUST WORKS!"

Old school TV: "There's too many good-looking people! We want realism!"
New school TV: "Realism is too fugly, go back to old-school beauty."
