Yup. Laziness. The work saving tools have left the new generation of game industry workers without knowledge of problems or how to fix them. But also male feminists.
One of my favorite stories was that we had a dommy mommy style character. Had high heels and a fuck-me waddle. We onboarded this bald headed goonie beard man and within the first 5 days, he was complaining it was sexist. By the by, the art director was a woman. That character was her idea. She ordered the concept and approved all the concept art.
The pick-me male feminists are advocating the ugly stick to win points in the office.
Speaking as an ex game industry worker.
3D modeling was outsourced to foreign sweat shops on par with fiver. We had 3 artists on staff who's job it was to fix all the fuckups the foreign artists were doing. The foreign artists never hit target polycounts and always turned in work that was full of flaws like unwelded verts or being set up in the wrong scaling / wrong world orientation. Those artists spent most of their time creating entirely new low poly models and then baking the details of the high poly down onto that model to make it compliant with our metrics.
We had many people who were SJWs who got into games as a fall back when things like their fine arts degree didn't get them a job the way they were hoping. No doubt their foot in the door was some kind of nepotism.
All of you saying autism isn't real are fucking idiots. There is brain differences that can be confirmed via autopsy. What are ordered and synchronized pairs of neuron arrangements in normal people are instead alternating pairs resembling a zipper in autistic people as the most basic of starts on these differences.
The trouble is that you have feminists/SJWs once again invading a male space and pushing the men out. They've turned autism inside out and deleted the aspergers diagnosis all so that they can capture the money meant for autism, to waste in their NGOs, to pay themselves out the same way BLM leaders do. I hate autism speaks myself, but I prefer they get the money over these bitches. One single new york autism organization is one of the top 10 funded nationwide autism groups. It is mostly just paying out living expenses to "autistic" women who are children of government workers. It's also mostly staffed by "autistic" women... who'd definitely kick autistic men out of the organization for making them "uncomfortable."
No different from how comics, vidya, tabletop or atheism got taken over. It's just autistic men are the least socially skilled to combat this or sound the alarm about it happening. This is why autism has become a catch-all bucket for not fitting in. Now they're trying to roll ODD, BPD and BP disorders into autism, because of course, the best care possible is assured by having one big mentally ill label instead of... you know, specifics. (and also, claim autism is communist. Check out the evilautism subreddit sometime.)
As an autistic person myself, it's fucking disgusting. Autistic men almost never get married. The life expectancy is 40. They get shot more by police than any ethnic group. They are the most homeless, too. And yet these "I'm the daughter of the witch you couldn't burn!" bitches are horning in on it going "I'm autistic 😿😢😭" while they have pan/polysexual partners coming out of every direction, are often sex workers, and still have some simp boyfriend on the side willing to put up with it all and house them like a human pet.
If someone wants you to be their human pet with no responsibilities, you're not autistic. You're a thot with perfectly normal whoring skills.
You know how trans people go into women's sports because they often failed at men's sports?
That's what "female autism" is. They claim all their symptoms are "masked" and that they're just as disabled as all the men who are committing suicide before 40, all the men ostracized for "being creepy", etc. They're ADHD girls that largely don't want to take their meds and want to suck up benefits from autistic men. Pretending to have official diagnosis, and parroting tiktok that gives them autistic stereotypes to lie about having. Just like the socially contagious trend of having Tourette's syndrome. Just like being "non-binary" is exploding amongst girls, but not boys, despite boys having higher rates of gender dysphoria before it became stunning and brave to be transgender.
I really resent it all because I am autistic. Diagnosed. With life long social and economic difficulties despite my best efforts to get careers I could do solo... but it's all moot if you can't fit in and suck the right dicks, grease the right palms... unless you're an insanely lucky maverick like Elon musk snagging the digital patent for online shopping carts, or Notch catching the wind of "let's play" youtubers to propel minecraft into a spectator hobby.
Suddenly a disease that was 10 to 1 or 4 to 1 male is overwhelmed with space-invading femcels.
With their activism, they've gotten aspergers retired as an official diagnosis world wide, and including in the united states, and turned all autism into a "spectrum" to make the money easier to move around by non-profits.
They've taken over most of the autism online spaces, and shut down autistic men as sexist, rude, creepy and unfeeling...... for having a mental condition that makes us more logic based, and less emotional.
It's not all that much different from how they're taking over every other male space, comics and tabletop or video games and anime in the west. They have to come in, gut us, suck up the money, and kick us out... and if we dare try to have our own thing, they get us blacklisted.
It's just amazing to me how outlandish you find the suggestion, while at the same time, being a victim of these systems. You also pretty much have open disdain for many groups of people.
You're very troubled and nobody took care of you. I'm sorry you went through that and you've been left fucked up because of it.
so much of your initial comment whining about yourself.
Exactly how else am I going to relate to you that public education is not well equipped to care for or protect kids with mental disabilities?
I also linked an article about an autistic girl that was bullied to death by students and teachers. The only thing is, I'm a grown man. All that happened to me was ancient history. I have no reason to lie about the system and no lawsuits pending. The point I'm making by sharing my own experience and also pointing to the experience of others is that it wasn't just me.
I can also go on to show you articles about autistic people being kept in cages and treated as if they're possessed by demons. You should see the shit Catholics, Mormons, scientologists and jehovah's witnesses do to us. Did you know the type of therapy banned from being used against gays, gay conversion therapy based on ABA, is also the leading gold star therapy recommended for autistic kids? Despite it increasing suicide rates?
You can keep naming examples of "one time, in a random unrelated and completely different scenario someone LIED" but you've yet to do anything but that whataboutism and hope it would accomplish something. I've also seen Men lie about girlfriends being crazy, does that mean I should accept that everytime a man claims one is I believe he is the actual crazy one?
You were acting as if the expulsion was proof of anything. I'm saying, the institution is corrupt and inept. Expulsion is just proof of expulsion and likely very little else.
You can't both understand American public education is garbage and unfair to many types of students... and then take the rejection seal of disapproval and treat it as likely valid. There are so many fucking ways to game the system and here you are thinking they actually did their due-diligence. What a damn laugh. Schools are FAMOUS for having terrible internal processes all across the country, and always taking the easy way out or the way out least likely to cause waves in the community.
But because we disagree, you're willing to look away.
You are asking me to believe a hypothetical because it fits what you want this story to be, based on seemingly you just really identifying with a victim story you made up.
No. I'm saying that the alternatives are more likely and more easily possible then you believe. We know for a fact that it is common behavior for people to false flag a social pariah. So much so I can cite the fucking goddamn bible having to have a commandment against baring false witness. Rittenhouse, mass reporting, fucking reddit mods, false rape allegations against SCOTUS nominees. False rape allegations against men in college. How common does this shit gotta be before you stop thinking it is that rare?
We've had that as a social problem since we were herding goats, my dude, and we never shook the habit.
If you had any other evidence to support anything, I'd not be opposed to believing it happened.
The students aren't even being named by the district. We're both pissing in the wind, but we both know it's not normal to stab someone over nuggies. You think it's some kind of inherent racial inferiority thing and keep ascribing it to being a race and culture thing. I don't share that view.
You just need to be open to the fact that the story might be something else besides "nigs gonna nig."
Actually, that is the real reason to be against female. The transmafia is aware that refusing biology (female) can't last forever.
"I'm attracted to females" asserts biology, and rejects gender. "Female sports" asserts biology, and rejects gender.
The real reason to hate "female" is trans feminists prepping for when the pendulum swings back.
Again. Rittenhouse. Despite having goddamn video, people still tried.
"Turning all against one isn't all that hard to do." as the offspring song goes. Wanna get someone expelled? Claim, repeatedly, they threatened to shoot people or bring a bomb. Same people mass report on youtube or twitter.
If your response to people you are choosing to interact with being mean to you is to murder them, you have ceased to have victimhood.
Seems like a strawman to say this was just "being mean", if she was going to stab or shoot someone just for being mean... it would've happened before being expelled or dropping out.
The claim is self defense. If she was in the middle of a beat down circle, I don't blame her for pulling a knife and using it. That's textbook self defense. ESPECIALLY if it was a textbook "nigger"-style gang beatdown, as you specifically might call it.
Rittenhouse was the suspect, because he was the one being prosecuted even if he had fully valid self defense claims.
Which is my point. I'm calling her the victim just like I called Rittenhouse a victim. When you feel compelled to use the same terminology and framing as the state, you're losing the battle to begin with. I didn't misspeak earlier, or mix up victim and offender. I said it how I meant it from my perspective which is that the one being prosecuted right now actually did act in self defense.
It's just as valid for me to say you're projecting your life experiences and assuming it's more hoodrattery.
Mostly because it was the suspect who was expelled, not the victim
Depends how you see it. The "suspect" claims the stabbing was done out of self defense. They called Kyle Rittenhouse the suspect, did they not?
The link I shared in the linked comment is to show that it isn't just my bad experience. There are a LOT of fucking kids who share my experience. Who are going through it right now. It's a goddamn shame the only way they get seen as abused is if they off themselves in spectacular fashion. Normal kids don't shank people over nuggies. Normal kids don't get expelled. This wasn't a normal kid, this was a kid that fell through the cracks and never got help.

See my comment there.
I had my nose broken, I was the only one pouring blood and sporting lumps and bruises. I had more than 10 people involved in the gang beating and they gave me the same in school suspension they gave the 10 kids because the 10 kids claimed I called them all nigger.
This was despite having had my IQ tested by the school district. They were mystified I could have a gifted level IQ, yet I was skipping school constantly and failing to keep up. I wasn't going to school because of personal safety concerns. On what fucking planet is a gifted kid going to look at 10 people and think "Yeah I can take them. All at the same time. Let me just say the trigger word!"
There's only so many times you can have your face broken and not have the school care because you're the retard autistic, before you either violently snap or get truancy so high your parents remove you themselves.
Bullies know how to hurt people without getting caught. Spergs like myself just do it because we're backed into a corner and we get caught because we don't have practice at it.
My records said I was an aggressive crier, manipulative, and that I had a history of aggression. I got beaten up every single year in school, multiple times, and only hit back fucking twice. Yet I was the aggressive one. Wish I could go back in time and deck more of those clowns.
I don't think this story is what it says on the tin, frankly.
The victim was expelled. Had "anger issues" and stuff like that. Yet still maintained contact with groups of public school children she had been going to school with previously.
I'm going to bet she had 1 real friend in that entire circle and didn't have the social wherewithal to know the rest just enjoyed having her around to make fun of. You wouldn't single out and attack someone over some fucking nuggy sauce unless you felt like you wouldn't be judged poorly by the friend group for it.
Sounds like an often victimized autistic child that the system didn't help because keeping the other little fuckers in line is harder than letting 1 autistic kid drop out. (Autistic kids have high dropout rates in general, even when they get good grades, for this very reason. Teachers would rather ignore or take part in bullying to get rid of one easy target than ask Tyrone and Patrick to behave themselves.)
Here's an example. Teachers really do join in on this shit. I am autistic myself and also got bullied out of school. The teachers regularly took part in my humiliation and found my "tattle telling"(asking them to do their job) was often taken as a bigger issue than the fact that you had physically abusive people leaving bruises on other people. Things like "Well since YOU keep getting injured, I'll put YOU at the front of the class. All by yourself. A row away from everyone else."
My records which I secured as an adult said I have "aggressive crying", that it was a means of trying to manipulate and bully others.
Been a furry for 17 years.
Furry species have stereotypes based either on mythology, or the people who tend to choose them. So it's a bit like a self-selected "pronouns in the bio" type red flag when someone makes their own furry personal.
You are 100% spot on with dragons. If someone has to be a dragon, 99% of the time they have some kind of personality disorder. There's a reason they have to be a tough, treasure having, mythological, magical, nation threatening identity.
One of the chicks I pulled away from a dragon "master" (in the BDSM sense) went fucking nutbars over it and was sending her messages like "I NEED YOUR WOMB!" (they both had a breeding kink.) But seriously. This dude thought saying that was like holding up a stereo, such as is often memed of the "Say anything" movie.
Well, as I stated, nobody is going to win if they sue the bank for hosting the accounts of this company but that doesn't remove the legal cost of defending against these lawsuits. These lawsuits will also raise the premium of the bank's legal insurance. I also imagine a lot of family members of elderly people initiate chargebacks against Mercola. When a single company causes such a nexus of issues that cost the bank money, they're prone to jettison the client.
I don't agree with this happening. That said, I don't think it is the covid stuff alone that brought this on. Mercola is a snake oil salesmen of the highest caliber and he has been to court many times because of it. I've had family members die while using his unorthodox holistic bullshit that was costing as much if not more than the copay of normal cancer care. I'd imagine that Mercola is a constant litigation risk.
Mercola also knows how to play the game. If he can turn it into a culture war and censorship issue, he comes out on top and he'll have more traffic from fat, unhealthy, chain smoking boomers than ever before.
Still. I don't agree with it happening. Nobody is going to sue the bank and win because of him holding an account there.
Also... Not exactly on a crusade? Shitposting about some inconsequential moderation weirdness does not equate to really giving a shit. I'm bored and I have free time tonight.
Just because you're consumed with your personal politics doesn't mean everyone else is.
I said you trying to characterize TheImp as carrying on GamerGate's legacy
So basically, imagining things and then swinging at them. The way you construe things is so combative. Move out of your aggro phase, it isn't good for your mental health.
I already told you. I believe Dom doesn't consider them an identity at all so they get no R16. He seems to consider identity to be about bio-essential things like race and sex. If you want clarification, ping him.
R16 isn't written like that. Failure of management.
They sound retarded. Public policy reflects what people in power want, not the masses. Politicians do what their donors want, not their voters. Culture gets shaped by the powerful.
You can think it is retarded. It's still a chain of infectious ideas spreading outward. Your couch surfing intellectuals like Marx and Bernie find a millionaire or a billionaire to be a pet of, and spread their bullshit. It's always been that way. Then convince a segment of the public to want it, and that segment convinces even more of the public to want it. It doesn't change the fact they have convinced a large swath of the public to want it. Exactly as I said, stand alone complex that leads to mass adoption and new policy. It goes private->public->government. Always.
I'm sorry you can't see a forest and trees simultaneously.
TheImp and others can and have gotten away with the same sort of thing WRT to women. Dom's latest Imp bans are a move toward equal enforcement, not away from it.
Your opinion. I don't share it. I don't have to fail to understand your opinion to disagree with you. You're not the smartest person in the room and your ego is very invested here.
(neither am I, but I'm not displaying the ego here. Imagine downvoting every single reply on .win as if internet points matter. Lol.)
Were you on crack at the time because you seem to be confused about what happened?
A lot was going on at the time. Everything from the SPJ society issues, to the GJP lists, to me actually trying to make change at IGDA meetings IRL... I don't even trust that your estimation of what I think happened is remotely close to what I actually think happened... as you really do seem to warp reality on the journey to internalize what others are saying.
But it is worth your time to use your otherwise mostly dormant account to defend a mentally ill retard. Again, there is nothing stopping you from being against R16 as a whole. Feel free to take that angle. You won't do that and have defended Rumble's censorship. Tell us what your real reason for defending TheImp so vigorously is. Common enemies, right?
You really do invest too much into internet fights. That you'd go history diving on someone else's profile and also ignore the blatant argument with a holocaust denier, and still act like you need the existence of that shit pointed out... lol.
As far as Rumble goes? Pragmatism. Alternatives have to exist to mount resistance or rebellion towards the intellectual hegemony. You can disagree with the special pleading if you want, because I am aware it is special pleading... but don't sit here and act like we accomplish much of anything by having R16 here. It's not like we'll ever become a driver of speech on iOS or the google play store. We don't have our domain registration pulled on a monthly basis. We're not 🥝👩🌾.
Basically, the guys we had in house on staff were just focused on low poly and fixing bad topo.
Max, Maya, Zbrush and substance painter all made auto-magic re-topology tools. Whatever that shit out went through minimal editing before it was baked and considered good. Lots of broken "difficult" areas like bad topo around tits, bad topo around the corner of lips. Weird as hell lighting artifacts thanks to that.
You know how you'd have topo that is like /\ in the middle of a symmetrical line? If the retopo pass made it / / they'd not even bother to turn the triangles. Oh, giant 8 edge n-gon? Fuck it. It's flat. Surely the engine will get it right. Let's not solve that pre-emptively!
The dumbest topo tool is zbrush though. Smear red and blue to indicate where you need more texture density and hit the easy button. Others in the office didn't even know you could premark texture seams to make the tool at least a little more intelligent.
