A survey by the GDC claims that 25% of American game developers identify as LGBTQ. For devs age 18-24, this figure jumps to 43%.
Read that again. Almost half of young American game developers are LGBTQ.
33% of American game devs identify as female or non-binary. This number is up from 25% in 2022. That’s an 8% shift in just two years.

From the article:
35 percent of all respondents were white, male, and not part of the LGBTQ+ community. It shows that while strides have been made to diversify the industry, there is still a little way to go
“Perfect diversity” will only be achieved when straight white men are gone.
Western game dev is just super feminine, super gay, and blatantly anti-white. That’s it. That’s the whole issue. It’s a traditionally male industry being overrun by lefty gays, trannies, and feminists while their customers are still very white, very straight, very male, and at least as conservative as the general population. You really don’t have to look any further than that to explain the ongoing conflict between devs and players in western gaming.
This ideological and cultural disconnect is the inevitable result of an engineered demographic shift in game dev. The people who are now in charge of making video games actively despise the demographics comprising most of the people who actually play video games. It’s completely untenable and unsustainable.
It’s too bad they weren’t stupid enough to collect overt political data. With what we know about correlations between ideology and identity, what percentage of game devs must be literal communists?
0 straight white males is perfect diversity.
I like all the typical guy stuff but enjoy a romance novel or movie every now and then. I can’t help but be a little annoyed that the romance industry makes billions by providing content that women want to see (man and woman falling in love), but it’s so controversial if you make something that appeals to guys.
I'm still shocked at the level of disgust you see from most of media at the thought of making something that would appeal specifically to men. Is like you commit some great sin
I know. Or they act like it’s a shock that men want to see attractive women
Take a game like DoA Xtreme. Fat ugly women hate it because they can’t look like that. Trannys hate it because they look like a temu version of Sloth from the Goonies to begin with and despite what the internet told them putting lipstick and a lingerie on doesn’t suddenly make them desirable with their male pattern baldness, Adam’s apple, and 5 o’clock shadow. Last the pasty fat white progressive beta males hate it because all the attractive girls they know friend zoned them and would rather be getting railed by Chad and Tyrone. It’s just another flavor from the variety pack that brought you daddy issues and I hate all men.
You know what's even funnier? Normal women who don't get offended by DOA actually like XBV because it's kinda like a fashion/shopping simulator. It's not a fighting game, it's really casual, and you get to dress yourself up. It's kinda like an adult version of Barbie toys, but with tiddies.
I am shocked. SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.
That always annoyed me. Female porn is sold at Walmart in the book aisle. Male porn is tucked away behind the counter at gas stations (obviously this was before internet)
Female pron is in every library in full access of children too. Video games and male centered movies require an ID to even look at, not even sexually explicit material. And the average religious folk will die on their hills to defend that status quo.
People are more touchy about explicit visuals than explicit words because no one is accidentally reading a page of 12pt text from across the room. Pretending that's a male/female thing is some "disparate impact" level reach.
it can be both.
Part of it can be a fair disparate treatment given that one is more discrete.
But on normal bookshelves at walmart is a bit much.
What’s really infuriating is the widespread acceptance of hardcore pornography, which is ostensibly “something that men want”, while more traditional and respectful masculine desires have been systematically demonized. You want a kind, soft, attentive, loving, loyal, feminine wife? You want a traditional family? You want a place of importance in your community? That’s all evil toxic masculinity. Definitely 100x worse than <checks notes> supporting empowered female sex workers via onlyfans subscriptions. And don’t you dare pursue young attractive women! They are supposed to be selling pictures of their buttholes on the internet for $5, not having children with a loving provider husband!
Very good point. Crazy world
The entire Anglo christian world is a giant gynocentric society. It shouldn't come as a suprise.
Anime like My Dress-up Darling, male-target-audience basic romance stories, get so much hate whenever they're made like once every three years, when the exact same anime but just for the female gaze is made like 3 times per season.
How to write a male-gaze romance: "He fell first, she fell harder" is the guiding principle, one or two lingering gazes, a token show of support for an unusual hobby, the guy improves his life outlook in some minor way due to the efforts he puts into his personal relationship, a kiss on a season finale ideally during a fireworks festival. And then most importantly, get cancelled on Twitter and have a hate-mob try to ban your show for daring to show male romance.
So what happens when all the straight white men are chased out of the profession. Do they go invade somewhere else that they think is problematic? I’m curious as to what the next step in their grand scheme is
Problem with the white males in tech is that they are also leftists. They will literally cheer for increased diversity while also being smart enough to realize that the only way that is achieved is by discrimination against them.
Try talking to one and ask him the percentage of girls were in his class and the percentage of girls at work and they short-fuse trying to explain why discrimination is good.
There is no invading anything, they just move around or change fields. I'm so glad I never got to work in gaming. I dreamed of working for Bioware but ended up working for a large IT company and moved in to that direction. For years I would have moved to Bioware. Thank you God that never happened.
