When it comes to DEI, never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice. They'll get their payout from Blackrock plus any money from normies who don't know any better, and I have little doubt that at some point Quinn will pull a "Help! Help! Gamergate is targeting our game!" for a few extra sales.
It will probably absolutely bomb but the "right people" will still walk away with money in their pockets. Rinse and repeat.
Agreed. The original quote has been a boon for evil actors for the last 20 years, letting evil shift the blame to incompetence.
Occam's Razor is a useful tool for interpersonal relationships, recognizing your friend is more likely to have been thoughtless rather than spiteful.
It is a terrible tool for judging the operation of impersonal organizations and their impact. When both malice and incompetence lead to destruction, they should be treated the same way.
Correction: Hanlon's Razor.
Occam's Razor basically says that you should try to find the simplest solutions to problems or make the least assumptions possible, but that might be a different story.
I got my razors crossed.
Yeah but what about Mehrune's Razor
I've been increasingly tempted to shift my beliefs to "In matters of importance, serve the same punishment for incompetence as malice." While it means well-meaning people can be punished, those people know it going into the situation, while low-merit and malicious people will stay away.
Exactly. This is cultural warfare. The aim isn't to make money, it's to create a specific culture and Blackrock is there to provide funding for the brainwashing operations.
When has that EVER worked?
Didn't she and Sarkeesian get millions from the UN between 2014 and 2018?
Sales?
You're right. it has nothing to do with sales. I was referring to the previous comment that said the "right people" walk out with the money
They hired miss 5 guys herself to be lead narrative designer LOL!
I first heard of the game Firewatch because Anita's name was in the credits.
Have you seen the trailer? You play as an angry black female marine, who is strong and defiant, finding the inner strumpf to resist the alien colonizers.
It all leads to black on black violence.
Fucking game is already DOA.
I give Aliens a pass, usually, because a female lead has been a part of the story since day one, but since ZQ is involved you know she shoehorned the black part in there. Also $5 says she'll be a lesbian, too.
In the trailer she says her name is (shit you not) "Zula Hendrix" and she says "Not once will I bow my head. I will carve my name into this planet with a smoking crater!" Also the voice actress is pushing the black accent so hard it's difficult to understand.
Stunning. Brave. Powerful.
...so she has absolutely no character arc whatsoever...
how utterly expected...
I'm fully siding with the Xenos at this point. I'll eat healthy and hope that the chestburster comes out carb loaded and jacked up on protein powder.
At least 6 guys, narratives and lies.
But the Aliens are already black & violent?
