That's what happens when you try to appeal to mentally ill people who don't even like your product and go woke.
You alienate and thus turn away your core audience, and in trying to win them back, you earn the scorn of the demographic you were trying to bring in.
Ultimately, no one ends up liking you.
There's also Lyn St James, Christina Nielsen, and Lilian Bryner from sports car racing.
All of them regularly contended for race wins, Christina won two IMSA championships, and were equally as fast and reliable as the men they raced against.
Even better, none of them marinated in any insecurity or railed against the "patriarchy". They just tried to prove their skills at what they wanted to do.
And instead of using their gender to divide people, they've actually helped other female racers get better, reach their goals, and assist them with logistics and sponsorship. They actually lift people up.
They're all great role models.
I found this bit on him from an interesting old digest show that used to air on TNN called Inside NASCAR:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s233RKZR9I
There's also an extended feature on him produced as part of a documentary series called Golden Era of NASCAR. It features appearances from other legends like reporter Chris Economaki and driver/car owner Junior Johnson:
And Wendell did receive major racially motivated pushback when he tried to race at some tracks. A few tried to either ban him or only let him enter if a white person drove his car. One even credited him with second when he actually won.
However, he refused to let that stop him and he raced anyway. He gained respect from his fellow drivers and proved to be be consistently competitive.
However, Scott never blamed white people as a whole for the difficulties he encountered. He wanted to be seen as just another driver and overcome the odds, and he got that wish. Now he's almost universally respected as a pioneer in the sport.
I wish we could go back to the days when people wanted to prove themselves through their skills rather than marinate in victimhood.
Travis Pastrana's Nitro RX series as well as the FIA's own World one went to all-electric cars last year in spite of series like WRC, BTCC, and IMSA/WEC opting for hybrids to strong popularity and more manufacturer involvement.
When the RX series were still using ICEs, their YouTube videos regularly got anywhere from 50K-six figure view counts.
Now, either of them are lucky to get 10,000 viewers for anything they post there. The Internet is the backbone of their marketing, which makes this decline all the more apparent. Attendance at the events themselves isn't much better, either.
The only people that seem to be there are event staff, sponsors, teams, and VIP guests. It's practically empty otherwise.
Furthermore, Nitro RX has a TV deal with CNBC, and God only knows what those numbers are if the Internet figures are bad. For perspective, they're rarely if ever published.
It's truly incredible how much Travis and the FIA sold out for what I can only imagine is a high ESG social credit score. The fans already made it clear by leaving that they don't want this, and neither series is getting higher grid counts because of how stupidly expensive the EVs are to develop and maintain.
If it weren't for that all important ESG money and the fiat currencies the world is on, I think both series would already be in the stages of folding sometime this decade.
There is no way either of these series are making a profit from the EV transition, and it goes to show how wokeness is valued over the customers in the corporate world.
At least we still have the series mentioned in my first paragraph.
Hybrids strike the sweet spot between raw performance and spectacle the fans love as well as the technology and marketing valued by the manufacturers. It's no wonder the truly biggest car manufacturers (the Japanese ones) are focused on this tech instead.
It seems that this is all a manipulative way for them to become the bullies they claim to have resisted for so long.
It turned out that they were really fame hungry narcissists.
Elderly people and children die, yet these freaks get all the attention in the media.
It's disgusting; I hope this fad fades into the same historical dustbin as lobotomies and circus freakshows.
Trans cult BS is everywhere; there has to be a point where enough is enough.
This is what happens when a government completely sells out to a power-hungry, unelected organization full of tyrannical, eugenicist bankers (UN/WHO/WEF).
They start by demoralizing and displacing the original natives and then proliferate their country with the promotion of degeneracy and division.
With their resources and the discontentment among actual gamers, I'd say it's a safe bet that most of the Xbox account's followers and likes are artificially generated, purchased bots.
And underhanded monetization
What happened to simply logging off if you don't like what people are saying online?
I can't imagine what it must be like for these people to be so miserable all the time.
Continuing from your other comment, I also found it interesting how they still tear into "Q" and "conspiracy theorists", but still haven't gone after the WEF, IMF, Open Society Foundation, BLM destroying cities; Biden and his criminal, treasonous Jerry Springer grade family; Kamel-Toe's retardation, the wide open borders and ensuing criminality, or the big pharmaceutical companies.
They would have already made fun of these organizations if they were truly as "anti-establishment" as they've been marketed.
I think South Park is a textbook example of controlled opposition these days.
I guess they WERE the establishment.
Figured this out when real mavericks like Alex Jones or James Woods kept getting banned, censored, or ejected from events in a supposedly free country but Matt and Trey have mostly kept their multi million dollar partnerships and are still promoted in and by Hollywood.
They know who writes the checks; hence them cucking to the left.
The warning signs were there when they started making the same tired Trump jokes as everyone else in 2015, but I think they just became SNL and Kimmel tier propaganda when Trump got elected.
I stopped watching the new episodes in 2018 and only occasionally watch the pre-2015 seasons, having mostly moved on from the show.
Considering?
How about DOING it?
In a functioning world, Pfizer's staff would have already been arrested and jailed, the company would have ceased operations, had its assets confiscated, and its products pulled off the shelves.
We need some damn accountability before this happens again and again.
Can't personally find much here to disagree with; I think you're spot on with this topic.
I'm not quite sure I agree with the downvotes your post here got.
For the record, GT7 and Polyphony's reputations have been permanently tainted by the forced DRM and absurdly exploitative in game economy designed to frustrate players into buying microtransactions for some of the most interesting cars.
I'm not holding my breath, but hopefully T10 have learned from these mistakes, hence the delay.
That whole debacle was a shock to me. I really liked them when I was a teenager.
I still appreciate how I learned about so many classic movies, TV shows, etc. through them, but maybe things played out the way they did for the best.
I hope newer, better pop culture critics like Nerdrotic and Ryan Kinel can pick up from where CA left off and learn from their mistakes.
I'm sure you guys know this, but it bears repeating for those who may be new to this site.
If you stop buying them, their stubbornness will be more embarrassing and the execs will stop backing this nonsense.
Let's not give Playground or Maverick another thought or dime; let their games fail on their own.
Such a sad, disgusting sight.
I remember when Benetton made headlines by having a kickass Formula 1 team, not by exploiting minors.
Welcome to the club.
Same thing happened to AutoWeek and Road & Track. Even the auto websites are globalist, woke propaganda rags like all the rest.
I always suspected this was the case despite being told that "digital is the future".
Turns out people prefer to actually own their games and have a say over whether or not they get any updates. Personally, the delisting of Forza Motorsport 4 and the Project Gotham Racing games' DLC destroyed the merits of a live service library or marketplace for me.
I am glad that your company is investing in physical distribution and sees to be attracting much interest.
Would you like to share any links where we can find or support you guys?
I've loved her music for a while now. Glad to see she seems one of the only sensible rappers left.
It's interesting to me how the interpreter is clearly what's known as a diversity hire. No straight, white male in sight. I guess that shows who this is supposed to be for, and I say that as a "minority".
I wonder how many of the sign language interpreters present in things like this game and Democrat speeches are making motions that actually match the dialogue- didn't a staffer for Nelson Mandela sometime in the past get busted pretty much making random gestures and just barely trying to look convincing?
I doubt whoever is making these decisions at Playground Games actually cares about accommodating all gamers; apparently they still haven't even included an option to skip these cutscenes altogether; you know, like almost every other modern game.
That's not a dumb question at all. There have been deaf racers. There is a British kart racer named Caleb McDuff who has won races driving for Zip Kart, the same team Lewis Hamilton used to drive for, despite having hearing complications. Additionally, the late stuntwoman Kitty O'Neal drove in the Mint 400 off road race and set land speed records despite being born deaf.
However, these examples are admittedly rare, but what confuses me about adding hearing aids to Forza Horizon 5 is that there has been no demand for this and things like pronouns among the actual fanbase, and the Twitter SJWs this is clearly supposed to appeal to would never play the game anyway- or even like cars at all.
It's a shame because I like how he's been fighting the LGBTP WEF death cult.
Unfortunately, he can't seem to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, much like the people he claims to be against.
