Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

Yep, this whole Wokeness shit is just a distraction from the real issue in my opinion. The Video game industry is the most stockholm-inducing industry as of late
There is a video, that I think I linked earlier by Self Defiecient which encapsulates most of the issues (wokeness aside) in modern gaming.
Every single issues need to be attacked by customers and consumers because developers are pulling a lot of crazy excuses to protect live service monetization. Tekken 8 is getting dunked on because of the rampant cheating and lack of consequences because Harada doesn't want to jeopardize sales from the Cash Shop and disc-locked characters made up some shit about getting law enforcement involved, so "Don't ask him for Shit." Just eat your goyslop nostalgia from older games, as Harada sells poorly-remade costumes from older games, shitty customizations that should have been in the fucking game, and disc-locked characters you had access to in older games. The people supporting this shit whether it's in figthing games or Call of Cuckholding Duty need to get exposed and called out.

Don't buy those games? Problem solved.

I have 11 Japanese AA Switch games sitting on my desk waiting to be opened which have none of that junk.
Eventually it will crawl into AA and even Indie games if it hasn't already. Avoiding Triple A games only does so much when it's not being addressed or only scumbags like YongYea pretend to cry about lootboxes and live services.

What is everyone's opinion on Side Scrollers? The show is probably most known on here for being the show that interviewed DSP but they've been talking about the Sweet Baby stuff a lot including interviewing the guy who created and runs the Steam curator group.
They're 50-50, but you gotta be careful with Antisjws these days (I lost respect for G&G and Ryan Kinel in the last few months). Melanic Mac is a 40-something feminist pretending not to be one because she's butthurt no one wants a 40-something hag with tattoos who pretends to be a gamer and understand guys. Their interviews are okay.
 
The funny thing about Gamergate 2 is how lopsided it is compared to the first one.

The original gamergate was very niche and fringe. Many of the people who got famous from it were just starting out at the time, and there really wasn't any kind of mainstream component at all. Twitter was filled to the brim with shitty celebrities and journos who all organized on Killer Quinn's shitty chat group, they had all of MSM on their side, Wikipedia and Twitter's staff. Even with all of that, it managed to have some staying power and dedicated people supporting it (and grifters who got rich off scamming from it) and the people against it genuinely seemed to struggle and get genuinely frustrated it wasn't being stomped out.

Now it's almost entirely inverted. Most of the big anti-GG e-celebs have disappeared, either because they didn't have the mental stability to keep doing shit, don't care anymore, or they turned out to be monsters. A huge civil war over "Terfs" divided the movement into tiny little pieces. MSM and Wikipedia were once trusted institutions, but all the partisan shit with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other controversies completely collapsed that trust, even in non-partisan people. Elon Musk owns Twitter and acknowledged GamerGate 2, so it doesn't look like the staff wil be suppressing it. The once small, niche influencers who originally talked about GG are now big shots with millions of subscribers, and many people are making clickbait because the topic is so hot.

It shows how much shit has changed. For the better? I don't know yet, but things aren't the same.

The only reason Valve can stand on it's own is because it's privately held.
The day that Gabe Newell dies, Valve and Steam die with him. Within 1-2 months of that mans death that company is going to become the gayest company in the industry and Steam is going to become completely unusable by any normal person trying to avoid all the fag shit and anyone who is currently in a group like that Steam curator group is getting permanently banned. They will do this simply out of spite because of Gabe not banning everyone in that group already. They now have a burning hatred for every single atom of his being because they are spiteful vindictive aberrations of nature. They will not forget any form of slight or inaction in 10, 20, or even 100 years. They will simply seethe and stew. They are incapable of any form of real self-reflection or retrospection because they can't handle any form of criticism especially if it comes from within. Our enemy is barely even human and we would do well to remember that. They are the physical manifestation of bitter spite and misery. Give them zero empathy or compassion because you will receive none in return. Anyone who doesn't hate these freaks with the same level of burning hatred that they hold for us normal people has already lost. People using Steam regularly should stop being so reliant on it now so they're prepared for what's to come when Gabe dies. In fact, learn to move away from as many forms of corporate software as you can and stop using them altogether. This includes things like Steam, Discord, WhatsApp, and the like. Seek out alternatives and learn to use them. Stop letting them control you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
 
There's a user on the talk page named Rhain (he/him) that is obstructing attempts to update the Wiki article to reflect what actually happened. They're all over the goddamn page, asking for a source and accepting nothing but video game journoscum.

Upon searching the Farms for "Rhain", I found mention of the name from the TLOU thread, "Rhain Cassidy Radford-Burns". Link leads to a permacensored Wiki profile, but the talk tab on that link leads to the same talk page as "Rhain ☂️"'s talk page.

Stuttering Craig has a story. You may know him as the famous Slamball player, but he's also partially responsible for the modern media landscape through his work at ScrewAttack along side other early pioneered like TGWTG, Spoony. He's responsible for bringing AVGN to GameTrailers.

Notably, relating to GamerGate. He has said during GamerGate (2014) his (former) colleagues/employees silently rendered him persona non grata over his lack of public statements regarding GamerGate. He feels hurt by this and he emphasizes it was his lack of politics that resulted in this loss of friendships, rather than his own politics. After selling ScrewAttack and working as an employee he decided to attempt to start a new gaming channel, which eventually pivoted to culture war coverage. Sidescrollers is the podcast he used to do at ScrewAttack, which he's now repurposed.

That said, he's a bit of a simpleton, and an intellectual such as I would never watch a mexican man eat chicken mcnuggets until he pukes. I believe him to be a mostly genuine/nice person. I don't consider him a grifter.

Weird fact: he went off to do media for a company and ended up quitting because he became uncomfortable creating firearm training media post-some-school-shooting. Maybe that's a lie, but if it's not it demonstrates a strong morale compass whether he's correct or not.

Thank you for reading my blog on the history of Stuttering Craig's career.
 
PSA: Right Wingers and Conservacucks are not what I would call your allies despite their antiwoke stances, and they will throw you under the bus. I suggest you watch Hammerhand and Undead Chronic's takes on people like Matt Walsh and Brett Cooper. Also, Geeks and Gamers had some pozzed moments recently. Republicans and even Trump purposely did jack shit when Far Leftists and Sjws kept pushing the envelope. The ones who did were left to rot when Antifa attacked them (E.g. the Milkshake attacks).

And now it seems that anti-woke Twitter and YouTube (TheQuartering, Nerdrotic, etc.) are super mad at Walsh for joining their side at all, trending him on Twitter with their discontent. Even though what Walsh said is absolutely true. Wokeness in video games have not gotten a lot of attention in video games outside a relatively small group of hardcore online video game enthusiasts. Gamergate is a very obscure subject beyond the recognition of a normie, especially the truth about Gamergate obscured for a decade by the narrative of ideologically-captured video game journalism. Mainstream conservative media that Walsh is a part of, meanwhile, has protested plenty against woke Hollywood and literature, but video games have simply not been in their purview. I suppose, though, that the online anti-woke nerd crowd would actually prefer to cut off their noses and remain as insular losers than spread their message and activism to a wider audience.
Video games and Pop Culture were largely ignored until the Far Left really ramped it up in 2017 (even right wingers mocked Gamer Gate). When this started 10 or 11 years ago, no one did anything when sjws and Antifa leftists took over things like tabletop gaming (VTM) ,comics, and even Prowrestling after gaining ground on sites like Reddit and Something Awful (A lot of wrestling smarks and marks are far leftists, and the wrestling industry is more in bed with leftists). Both media sides ignored and rejected anyone who brought this shit up until backlash from antiwoke people finally happened in 2019. 2013-2018 you were basically seen as a retard just for brining up sjws or woke shit.

That said, the problem with Matt Walsh, Brett Cooper, and every Conservacuck is they're hypocritically insincere with a lot of Antiwoke issues especially involving men and Mgtow. Yes, they have been pushing Antiwoke rhetoric for a while, but while Walsh cries about feminism destroying the nuclear family because of porn and hypergamy he's mad when he sees men walk away from dating and marriage because of idiotic, slutty Western women. Instead of addressing the problems with the law being more favorable to women, Matt just calls these men incels and losers with Cooper and Shapiro, telling them to man up and get married ("You got divorced rape? Oh well, sucks to be you". - Walsh). Walsh is honestly no different than someone like Chris Christie (who still takes money from Disney and Bud Light) or even Trump (Remember when Trump Jr. said leave that rapey faggot Dylan Mulvaney alone and keep buying Bud Light and Trump NFTs? I do) while Cooper is no different from Susujpg or Brittany Venti. Fox News still hates gamers. Honestly, I hate Brett Cooper more than I hate Walsh.

Yeah, of course he personally does not like anime either. And he goes the extra step of off-handedly dismissing it as "demonic" because that goes along with his dry, sarcastic sense of humor as a crotchety "old man" that anyone who's actually familiar with his content is aware of. It's plainly obvious given his comedic video of him being put up with One Punch Man by audience request.
I remember one sjw faggot on Ryan Kinel's discord channel flat out said he supports and loves Hunter "Cuck" Avallone because of Matt Walsh hating anime even knowing Hunter drove someone to suicide. He was pretty retarded.

Speaking of hatred. Gabe personally stepped in and sent an apology to the Hatred developers after they got removed from Steam. Personally overruling Doug Lombardi. Everyone is compromised and Gabe is in a very unique position to say no.

1710483148378.png
 
For a commenter like Matt Walsh to openly report about Gamergate 2 is absolutely huge, and these people are fucking tards for being angry about it. Hell, a big part of the reason why the tide has turned against the transgender movement was because normie conservatives finally opened their eyes to LGBTQ grooming, a subject that anti-SJW youtube was already reporting on since at least 2015. These people should be grateful that players like the Daily Wire are getting involved at all.

Matt Walsh is a disingenuous faggot. The only reason why he's commenting on it is like anyone else. He's doing it because it's the popular thing to talk about now. I have little faith that these particular retards at the Daily Wire is going to make things better. In fact, it's only going to make things worse. This asshole has already made his made his disdain for video games and the pop culture war in general clear. Fuck Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire.

Yeah I remember that when it happened. Sadly that's never happening again when he dies. The guy is already 61 and looks like Santa Claus. I hope he lives a long and happy life though because he seems like a decent enough guy.
 
This was my point earlier in the thread. If the right winds up listening to these people they will always lose because they create nothing but videos bitching about things other people create.

This is the point I've made previously. The reason why the Right loses culture war battles on a consistent basis is their open disdain for anything that doesn't appear "godly". I'm a Right leaning Conservative myself, but even *I* know this culture war shit is incredibly important to pay attention to and fight for. People like Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire are only going to make things worse, because this is the same kind of "divide and conquer" tactic that caused a lot of the first instance of Gamergate to loose steam and end up being nothing but a bunch of Youtube political grifters making videos dunking on one another instead of focusing on the REAL enemy.
 
They will simply seethe and stew. They are incapable of any form of real self-reflection or retrospection because they can't handle any form of criticism especially if it comes from within.

Don't even give them respect because they won't give it back to you. Remember far leftists, sjws, and extremists will even sacrifice each other just to get to their goals, not even shedding a tear. Don't be afraid to use their own tactics against them like the guy who doxxed a leftist for wanting to dox Kiwifarm posters. When I used Facebook, I was posting leftists information on my Facebook if they were stupid enough to leave their info, and if they asked me to take it down I told them to fuck off. The antisjw method of "being a better person" failed miserably when Doomcock and G&G were pushing this retarded idea. They hate you, and you can hate them back. At the same time, be careful with right wingers like Matt Walsh and Brett Cooper. Again, they are not on your side.
 
Is this going to be renamed The Gamergate 2 thread?

We got G-Man for at least 10 more years so we should just focus on being happy for those 10 years. Also do not always seek alternatives, this may be glowposting but do actively pirate or sabotage the mainstream stuff as much as you can get away with. Market Calcification and Monopolization are the single worst things in the modern day so everybody is morally right in fighting back. Funny aside, G-Man reminds me of the guy who founded Pixar, the one who got MeTooed.
What's especially appropriate is the fact that many mainstream conservatives, when they didn't ignore gamergate 1.0, only took what was said about the whole thing at face value and thought it was a harassment campaign. Part of the reason why the woke left was able to bury it for so long and outright lie about it.

For a commenter like Matt Walsh to openly report about Gamergate 2 is absolutely huge, and these people are fucking tards for being angry about it. Hell, a big part of the reason why the tide has turned against the transgender movement was because normie conservatives finally opened their eyes to LGBTQ grooming, a subject that anti-SJW youtube was already reporting on since at least 2015.

GG was destroyed by people like Walsh, particularly Milo Surgun and other grifting faggots. Politics should be kept out of the entertainment space, even if it means keeping out people who are amicable to your cause.

Since this controversy is so conveniently timed with GDC, I wonder if we'll get some good seething clips out of it, like Tim Schafer's infamous sockpuppet routine.

Adding an Archived Version of his twitter feed from Linkedin, since I don't want to be that internet idiot that comes to a police office with just a printed computer screenshot.

Whilst we of course can see the confused schizophrenic mix of retardation and racism, the site looks otherwise too tame for much evidence.

Don't worry guys, this one doesn't discriminate against whities... as long as you identify as something underrepresented.
And I for one still have not seen any toilets for Apache Helicopters yet.

Although, looking a little deeper into this. Where do I even sent this? If this falls under the jurisdiction of Amsterdam, I would not be surprised this guy is grand funded here too. There's been a lot of corruption around here in the past few years as well. And the Amsterdam Mayor in particular, Femke Halsema, has just this week been involved in a scandal where she Allowed pro-Palestinians protestors to protest at the opening of our holocaust memorial museum. And you can only imagine the consequences and fallout that happened there this week.

It was great to see the provocateurs on twitter getting caught trying to say the police were acting extremely rough on the peaceful protestors. Only to have fact-check point out those were the protestors during the pandemic -videos they posted. Whilst the Police were, indeed, just chilling out on the side with the protestors.

Next stage achieved... the gamers leveled up from conservative to far right and finally to nazi. Anything to get what they want.

Out of curiosity, I listened to several game journo podcasts to see what they're saying about this Sweet Baby Inc. controversy. I've put together clips of the related segments along with notes for your review:



Aftermath Hours​

Episode 8: Much Ink Spilled Over Sweet Baby Inc (And Sanrio)

March 8th, 2024​

your_browser_is_not_able_to_play_this_audio
Cast:
Notes:
  • Corresponds with article by Nathan Grayson.
  • SBI is a narrative company, not a DEI company because it's not about workplace staffing and policies.
  • The real problem with company DEI efforts is that they're in service to capitalism.
  • Blackrock/Vanguard's ESG initiatives have nothing to do with this, and the real problem with ESG is that oil companies can qualify for funding.
  • General musings about Right-wing conspiracy theorists and how the real problem is capitalism.
  • Tangent complaining about restrictive access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
  • Conclusion that the controversy is over and SBI is unscathed now that the industry has gotten wise to Gamergate.
  • No mention of the Steam curator group aside from a brief reference in the article.
  • No mention of incriminating quotes from SBI and supporting journalists.



Remap Radio (formerly VICE's Waypoint Radio)​

Episode 38: Honey, The Gamers Are Toxic Again

March 8th, 2024​

your_browser_is_not_able_to_play_this_audio
Cast:
Notes:
  • Actually talks about the origin of the SBI controversy in which a SBI employee tried to "report" the "bad-faith" Steam curator group for harrassment.
  • "Why Right-wing social platforms always fail ... because what Right-wing users want is access to victims."
  • "There might be misunderstanding around the details, but fundamentally, this is about 'This group of people exists and we must punish them for working to assist parts of the industry in making it more accessible and diverse and welcoming.'"
  • "They're shadowboxing just to enact cruelty."
  • "The trap that people fell into with Gamergate and what people need to not fall into here is there's no talking to these people. There's no controversy. There's no debating. There's nothing to be said. The thing you should be doing is protecting people who are vulnerable, reaching out to friends and colleges who are perhaps being targeted in all of this."
  • Generally REALLY mad at "libertarian" Valve for not banning the Steam curator group.
  • "They're imagining a whiter version of gaming's past that never actually existed."
  • Fear over SBI being "Dylan Mulvaneyed", quietly dropped by companies.
  • "All they need is the flashpoint. You create a mob out of Sweat Baby, so what happens out of this is not actually accomplishing or changing anything in video games, but you've amassed a mob that can then have that point somewhere else. Like there's a direct line from Gamergate to Trump. Breitbart weaponized this."
  • "Everything has gotten worse on the Internet."
  • No mention of incriminating quotes from SBI and supporting journalists.



The Nextlander Podcast​

Episode 142: Private First Class Lance Bean

March 14th, 2024​

your_browser_is_not_able_to_play_this_audio
Cast:
Notes:
  • "Somewhere along the way, a number of people who ... certainly found some common cause with [Gamergate] over the years have decided that [Sweet Baby Inc] is in some way responsible for video games becoming too woke."
  • "It's basically just another reactionary conspiracy theory about who is ruining video games this month."
  • "That's not what a consultant does." SBI is just an innocuous narrative consulting company with consent from their employers.
  • Quoting the Kotaku article.
  • No mention of the Steam curator group.
  • No mention of incriminating quotes from SBI and supporting journalists.
  • Alex sounds especially mad while Vinny is the unfamiliar listener agreeing uncritically with everything he's told.
  • Pretty much just "those deranged harassing Gamergaters are back" ad nauseam.
  • "Even if Sweet Baby were giving that advice ... I think that's an extremely positive thing to celebrate instead of condemn."
  • "Now they're not even trying, again, to couch this sort of stuff in any sort of 'ethics in games journalism' bullshit. It's just the open racism and mysoginy and all that shit. ... It can be now because nobody moderates anything on Twitter anymore, and seemingly Steam's approach to this is 'we don't get involved in these kinds of things.'"
  • "I hope this shit stops today, but it probably won't, but I don't know that this is going to be hopefully nearly as much of an explosion of bad shit as the last time this kind of thing happened."
  • "My feeling is that the free market ideologues fell out of favor quite a while ago at this point, and the people who are ascendant now are much more in favor of things like state power and other forms of authority to heavy-handedly correct things like this that they don't like. Letting the market decide is not a thing anymore."
  • "We live in interesting, dangerous, and weird times."
  • "It's, again, developers electing to do this and then bringing in somebody who they think can help them do it. It's happening naturally."
Everytime one thinks that this industry has possibly one good guy in it not named Gabe Newell, or Sean Murray, & it'll probably heal one day... There's always a reminder of what an incestuous circlejerk the modern Western game industry is. a proof of how everyone of these unlikeable soyboys, faggots, troons, etc are everywhere & connected with each other, one way or another, in every nook & cranny of the industry, & it's proven through these retards doing the bare minimum of being their true sub-human self.

This all comes off to me as anti-woke YouTube personalities getting pissy that somebody with a much, much bigger audience is suddenly talking about their pet issue, feeling compelled to antagonistically "mark their territory".
Or they are annoyed the legion of Jewish backed pop talking heads are going to show up and smear their love of Israel all over the fucking shop. They are not annoyed at woke because its wrong, hateful or harmful. No, they are against it because they want to control it instead.

Even the dailywires fucking movie had a "OMG BBC!". Its pure Jewish dog shit.
