Daniel Vavra talks about his fear of being fired if he didn't appease journalists and how they self-censored and removed portions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 after using Sensitivity Consultants in new Czech interview. He appeared on a Podcast called "Insider", and there's a public portion of the Interview that's 20 minutes on YouTube in Czech, where he talks about some of this stuff:
You can enable Subtitles and Auto-translate to English to get the gist of it. Around 9 minutes into it he talks about how the "Sword of Damocles" hung over his head and he was "very afraid" that "journalists" would pull what they did with the first game on him again about how "it's not very diverse and blabla". He talks about how he was afraid they would scour his Facebook, Auto-translate his political rants and write up how he's a "Trumpist right-winger and against this and that" or something and publish articles about it. He talks about how that felt like a threat to him and he felt prepared to get fired over it. Then he talks about how "the other side attacked him" and called him Woke and that could have helped him, because the group that hated them the first time around started knee-jerk cheering for them because they hate the other group. He talks about how he took the "journalist" criticism of the first game to heart and they put some things into the game based on that. Then he rambles on about "Racism" and "Anti-Woke" and how he identifies as a Centrist now or something and talks about Extremist Christians coming after him and calling him things because he trampled on Christianity. Then the hosts start shilling The Last of Us 2 and they start talking about that.
Then there's a Paywalled portion of the interview, and this is apparently the portion of it where he talks about self-censorship and Consultants (like Sweet Baby Inc.)

Someone Czech translated this small portion like this:
This checks out, here is a similar interview he appeared on a month ago:

And I pointed out how in comparison to the first game, that just had a bunch of history professors they had as advisors and asked questions regarding Historical Research:

The second game had like 10+ "Consultants" for all sorts of minority and Cultural groups like for "African/Jewish or Roma History and Culture" credited:

The guy they hired on as a "Consultant" for "African History and Culture" for instance is some sort of writer and has written for various magazines and has a Substack:

The thing we were told wasn't happening actually happened, to the surprise of no one. He did jump aboard the consulting scam wagon. It's disgusting that these chameleons keeps posturing themselves as "moderates". It doesnt get much more pathetic than that.
