X has no room for subtle nuance, but let’s try: The fight agains DEI and ESG and BRIDGE is a long term fight. A
@StellarBlade @jamm3rd post. “Everyone fights, nobody quits” is my motto. But when that plan meets reality it’s “everyone fights to the best of their ability.” Not everyone can risk being me, putting my real face out there, getting cancelled and death threats for the n-th time. There are millions of you out there who have to fight Anon. And guess what, we get that. That doesn’t make you a coward, that doesn’t mean you sold out and aren’t fighting as hard as you can. And you will make mistakes. And when you do, the important part is to hang together and support each other. The other side does, and this is a source of their strength. Shift Up is fighting to the best of their ability to give you what you want. They *choose* to make games that gamers want, against the tide of DEI/ESG that wants to make this type of game impossible to make. Against the tide of AAA that only wants bland, safe games for the masses. They made some bad marketing choices, and either shipped outfits they liked better, or were silently censored by Sony. In the end, that is less important than the overall win that we are getting here in this long term battle. They are fighting to the best of their ability, and they also make mistakes. Meanwhile companies like Games Workshop and Pokémon Go are actively fighting against you, by their own choice. Shift Up is not the same. They are an ally. But as I’ve said many times on my streams and interviews about Stellar Blade, this is a huge win in the battle against AAA dreck. But in any war you make mistakes and you take casualties. In fact, it’s impossible to win without taking big risks, enduring casualties and losing many battles. Stellar Blade is a fantastic game for its GAMEPLAY and it flies in the face of our DEI/ESG enemies for it’s outfits and outright sexuality. But those enemies are trying to channel your anger against the censorship mistakes in Stellar Blade to DISCREDIT and MOCK the true cause…the fight against wokeness. Don’t let them. Support Shift Up, band together, because they are an ally and have delivered a huge win in this long term fight. As for the mistakes, the marketing censorship flub, the best we can do is point it out and try to fix it. The petition is just that, acting as a consumer voice to try and fix a PR blunder. We don’t know what is stopping them. Creative vision being different than consumer expectation? Sony pulling the strings? The petition may fail too. But in the end we still get our win either way. A very very big win. Stop making enemies out of allies who make mistakes. Stop blackpilling when they don’t agree with your 100%. You are only letting our enemies win while they stick together no matter what. Time to adopt tactics from them…and stay strong, together. I have your back, through your anon and your mistakes. I ask you do the same for all our allies.
