this sounds really naive and retarded now, but it really was the case. i remember well, a LOT of people really thought that if they could just exile zoe quinn and anita sarkeesian and their small clique of friends and allies from the industry, then everything would be fixed and video games and journalism would both be saved.
I find it pathetic when people like this gloat about how they can beat up a tubby grifter. It's like when Sneako talks about beating up women only to cower when a man challenges him to a fight.
Not to mention the business aspect of them already being hired and paid for their work and the sunk cost fallacy that provokes. Like the suits are just going to go, "Nah, throw it all out," after investing the money into hiring consultants int he first place. Especially since this would be something done over an extended period of time, with multiple rounds of back-and-forth and revisions and meetings. It's not like a one-and-done where you toss some cash and get a big bulletpoint list of things to do.

That Total Biscuit tweet alone can ironically get her cancelled right now, if resurfaced.
A small addition on my end.SBI defenders are out in full force, with Kotaku writing an article defending the company and attacking the curator and their users.
Of course, the person who wrote the article has absolutely no bias whatsoever towards a certain race.
The smartphone is right up there with the printing press in terms of being a potentially empowering technology that ends up used as a tool of enslavement
I have heard they ban people who argue over getting LGBT flags and represetation in the game from the steam forum and their discord. They also ban the people who argue with the people asking for the representation as well, they seem to be embrasing the "no politics in my game" no matter what side.
A journalist doesn't know something and talks confidently about it anyway??? This never happens!I don't know what you coombrains want in your games, I have to make educated guesses.
You first
Never trust a woman with a septum piercing. She's plotting ways to destroy you.
OH SHIT I REMMEMBER THAT FUCKIGN TWEET.
I'll never forgive that journalism as a profession didn't just implode with the advent of the smartphone. Anyone can be a journalist now thanks to that and social media, yet its only ever the same decrepit "old media" puppets and coastal city faggot millenials whose articles get publicized enough to warrant controversies like goobergay. The press really could have used a good pruning two decades ago.
If SM is any metric citizens are really terrible journalists too. I’ve never seen so many idiots peddle obvious BS as the “citizen journalists” of FB and TikTok. The problem was the rapid descent of journalistic industry standards and newsrooms being over populated by rich, coddled kids who went from gated community to expensive college to newsrooms. Hiring a few POC’s who adopted their worldview doesn’t change anything.
Budgets are high due to licensing deals and tricking producers/shareholders into believing it's a return on investment. Spending a ton on making this product guarantees a higher budget on next product, especially if it breaks even.
That's true of the entertainment industry as a whole. To quote from Duckman, it's built on perception rather than fact, run by businessmen who only understand numbers and don't have a clue about what's good and what isn't. So the key is to be perceived as good by being associated with the biggest and best numbers, meaning if you have no talent, you can buy credibility. In essence, creating the illusion of quality by spending the most money.
