Vtuber Kirsche reads some more about DEI crap. Personal opinion: those who celebrate it going away are doing more harm than good, even if just uninformed. It's boring work I guess, keeping up with all of it, but it's better not covering it than accidentally getting people complacent.
If you have the time you can watch the whole segment from the first link below onwards, it's about an hour. Some key moments video links:
Reshape the language for "performance"
Expand DEI beyond HR and Marketing, everyone does the "work"
OneTrust, corporate DEI helper and watchdog
Leading the way in trust intelligence?
The difference between the left and the right is that the left moves mountains and claims that it did nothing, while the right crushes a mosquito and brags that it has moved mountains.
The "work" is never over.
Sound like the "we did it, reddit" meme. While true, this isn't even about bragging. It's like winning the first match of a tournament and then going home expecting it to count as winning the final.
I just want it over with, honestly. Celebrating too soon can be harmful, but schadenfreude is great. Especially when it happens to people that truly deserve it.
"We're making games better!"
No you're not. Gaming was fine. You didn't like it, so it all had to change.
Not just gaming, but society as a whole. You slippery sloped your way into everything under the guise of tolerance. And now that you think you're the majority, you weild control of it like it's yours to covet. If a big enough group just kicked everyone of you out and just went back to doing what they wanted, with their games, not your games, but their games, we would all be better off.
If you don't believe me about the tolerance thing, look at what telling you no does to you. You're worse than the thing you hate.
Things going corporate didn't have to mean throwing everything away in exchange for this bullshit.
That's the thing, this isn't about celebrating the small victories and having a laugh at the wokies' expense. It should be encouraged even, maybe. It pisses them off.
This is about people saying that war is being won and DEI going away. They're evading exposure now, entrenching further into these companies. Just like a while ago, companies such as Harley announcing they're shutting down DEI departments. Yeah, because the "work" must become corporate culture, a department isn't enough.
We all knew that the regressive left will just go underground unless they are actively hunted in an aggressive manner as they will actively conspire to sabotage everything to promote their terrorist ideology.
After counter terror operations cleanse most of them from our countries the second they go insurgent, we will have to actively hunt them down while creating an environment of people loyal to us that is outright hostile to the regressive left and all their ideas and beliefs, resulting in people treating that crap similarly to neo-nazi's and white supremacists pre-2014.
DEI will not be over until the people pushing it are "over." They won't stop pushing it, because it is their religion.
What form this "over" takes is up to you.
Hopefully the best kind.
Yea, I'm trying not to trigger Rule 2, I've caught bans by you-know-who because of it...
One minor thing that will tell me it’s truly over is if we get an adaptation of a popular book where the characters look like how the book describes them and any backlash will be met with “this is the author’s vision”. Or they stop over representing small demographic groups
Seriously I expect the wording to change.
It'll be over when home security commercials show black guys breaking into a home instead of white guys.
Well yea that would definitely “reflect the world we live in”.
We all should do a little trolling with this, even though there wouldn't be any misrepresentation. Whenever they talk about minorities, we should "act locally, think globally". Why, there's over a billion Asians, cant's be true, surely. Replace with relevant race, repeat.
Even though in some cases the language changes, it might be just surface level. A plague is hard to eradicate...
Agreed
Companies are starting to realize that DEI is radioactive, both the term itself and and the policies it describes. That's a real if small victory. Of course that doesn't mean that they'll stop doing it, but they will stop calling it DEI and make efforts to hide the DIE shit they're doing instead of broadcasting it to everyone. Some of it is lying leftists sneaking around and hiding what they're doing of course, but the rot is so deep that even an owner/CEO committed to rooting it out would have a tough time. Twitter a is a prime example. If anyone has an incentive to root out the troons and danger hairs it's Elon Musk, but his results have been haphazard at best.
No, it's just entrenched deeply enough that they don't need departments pushing this stuff because it's become self-perpetuating. This shit culture went mainstream. It's become normalized to the point where they don't need a dedicated effort to sustain it because all the brainless peasantry adopted it into their hearts.
They were trying to rebrand to BRIDGE before, name changing has already started.
BRIDGE is the equivalent of an NGO, SHRM in another one. DEI is being rebranded into I&D, equity in being added to inclusivity. To use a joke I made the last time I posted about his, I think it's because IED looks and sounds wrong. Although this thing blowing up in their face is the preferred result.
The Right always cheers when the Left advances 30 paces, but the pretends to back of 1 or 2 paces for a short time. DEI takes over ever industry on Earth, then we get 3 or 4 articles about a handful of companies making vague statements about how they might be considering reducing some of their DEI efforts is specific areas, and it's treated like we won the war.
I'm not worried about them rebranding it or having it metastasize in the rest of these companies. People aren't boycotting companies just because they have DEI policies. They are boycotting them because of the results of their DEI policies.
They can call it BRIDGE, or whatever else they want to, but the results won't change. People will still see that a shit product is a shit product. It doesn't matter if these companies try to tell them that it is gold.
Rebranding is a strategy that only works in a high trust society. Too bad for them, but skepticism is the default now.
It’s why it’s important to DYOR into what products you’re buying. Just checking if the company’s website has a DEI page isn’t enough especially if the woke company is smart enough to keep its DEI policies a secret.
Nah.
