    Update: Commenters have directed me towards the source of the clips in question, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct." The video features a relatively even split between male and female devs, so despite me wanting to approach this without wanting to make any strong accusations, I can now more confidently say that Crowbcat made these creative choices with the intent of targeting or, at the very least, dunking on, specifically women in the industry. I would feel differently if the video had featured specific quotes from those people, in order to justify their specific appearance in the video. Combine that with the choice of gameplay footage featuring so many female campaign characters, and the evidence speaks for itself.

      That's the point though. The point is exploring the contents of the video without having to have prior knowledge, and how that can be an irresponsible way to form a narrative. It's largely about what Crowbcat chooses to include and exclude. I don't know every neckbeard who's ever been in the games industry by faces alone.

    The entire video is a miss because COD has *never* been this super sincere franchise that older zoomers want to remember it as. It's always had a reputation as being the "mature" FPS game for kids. The only thing that's changed is what appeals to younger audiences. In 2008 it was Michael Bay, nu-metal, and brown-bloom filters. Now it's Marvel, pop-culture references, and rainbow vomit. The only reason people are worshipping World at War *sixteen years* after it was released is because it's a narrative tool for "le culture war". Conveniently, Crowb doesn't feature the Nazi Zombies mode in his comparison, nor does he showcase any other legacy COD games. It's really quite deceptive.

    Okay, I often disagree with with Crowbcat's videos in some way or another, but I think this take is really bad and it kinda seems like you're falling for exactly what Activision's strategy is with their hiring choices. Back in ye olden days, there weren’t a lot of women in positions of influence in gaming (positions you’d criticize if you didn’t like the direction a franchise was moving in, for example) and things are a lot better these days. But has it not occurred to you that this improvement is also part of a strategy that you’re unwittingly playing into? The old management was male-dominated, and the new management has a number of women in public-facing positions that are likely to come under a lot of scrutiny. They WANT you to think “Cowbcat criticizes the change in direction? Well, he included some women in his critique so he must be a misogynist.”
    We both know Activision has a long history of treating its female employees like absolute shit, do you really think they’re above cynically using them as human shields? They are deliberately putting these women in the firing line so that when Crowbcat shows Activision’s patent US20160005270A1 (the one where they use matchmaking to trick you into buying skins), you get distracted by the fact that he used some women in his B-roll, which he is going to because the women in question are a Lead Narrative Producer, a Senior Producer, a Senior Writer, and the Head of Brand Development. You’ve been played, man.

    • @el_doinko
      @el_doinko  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actual valid points in there, but overall missing the point. It's not necessarily about the women or even CoD, it's more about the way he frames his narratives and how it can be problematic.

    • @hunted4blood
      @hunted4blood หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@@el_doinko I know you did, sorry. My point is that there's room for interpretation here, and that Activision has specifically cultivated the situation so that there is room to uncharitably interpret the criticism they receive as problematic. If they didn't hire women, Crowbcat's video would be nearly unassailable. But by setting up the situation so that the most available people to criticize are women, they have made it so that unless people like Crowbcat go out of their way to specify that the video isn't about women, people like you will go "I just think its kinda problematic how he singled out these women." He singled out the senior leadership of Raven software who are, by design, problematic to single out. The more time critics are forced to waste specifying exactly how their videos should be interpreted, the harder it is for them to actually make their videos, and the easier it is for Activision to keep getting away with their shitty business practices.

    I hate the current state of political climate that it permeates even video games. Blaming women for something is a cheap cop out when real issues run so much deeper.
    Like, let's take the 2016 failed ghostbusters reboot. The problem wasn't so much that the ghostbusters were women, but that it depicts men in a very negative light, making them either malicious or useless. Also that they only caught a total of 1 ghost in that entire film and they let it go to kill bill murray just out of spite.
    You can't build people up by tearing others down. Also there's that good sonic boom quote from knuckles about how when someone calls attention to gender roles that it undermines the concept of equality by implying it's an exception instead of the standard.
    And for the game industry itself, women have brought many great things in, but the past decade has gotten so sour with the internet having people echo chamber their stupid brain farts so that it obscures things, making groups of people who think women can do no wrong, groups that think women *only* do wrong, and then there are normal people who look at things at a case by case basis instead of blanket stating a general group (women in this case, of course) to be one thing or another.
    It's not women making unappealing designs in games, as we have women such as Mari Shimazaki who design characters like Bayonetta. And at the end of the day, if someone doesn't like something then don't buy it. I used to love Dragon Quest until the modern translations, so I... simply stopped buying the game. It's not hard. There are numerous other games out there made by real people instead of mega corporations like ...well, now CoD is owned by Microsoft, so them. Also when Activision was the owners, it really did feel to me like they were doing a "too many cooks" situation by essentially sentencing studios like Toys for Bob to the CoD dungeons.

      I remember feeling a type o way when Borderlands 3 came out. I might be missing some parts but iirc the plot was dominated by female characters and the only male I can remember was Rhys, who is depicted as like incompetent, and the one male villain who is subservient to his sister. Idk if it was intentional - it wasnt detrimental to the story, but it was definitely distracting. If the intention was to highlight how women feel in other male-dominated media, i guess they succeeded. I just found it distracting because once I noticed it I couldn't stop noticing it.

      @@el_doinko to be fair, the cast was fairly diverse amongst both men and women in earlier games, so it's weird they decided to essentially shelve or off-screen the men. Revenge isn't the best way to get equality, and only makes enemies more convicted against your own causes, which boggles my mind why people are so keen on being vengeful these days. gone are the days of discussion, now are the days of "other guys bad"

    I like most of his videos. Even the Resident Evil video other people hated on despite him not making the point clear enough. CrowbCat has always posted the odd awful video with biases and bad choices though. This was definitely one of them and I say that as someone who didn't like Black Ops 6. Call of Duty has definitely fallen and there are issues with it. He showcased some of them in clips such as how it lost some of its magic in many areas and the sliding for PC players and the common microtransaction issue that many modern day games face. Charging people money for better audio is the biggest sin. However, he's also unfairly nitpicking, which he's done in many videos. The Call of Duty multiplayer aspect of things were almost always goofy like that. This is why he didn't bother to show multiplayer clips from the previous games and only the campaign. Black Ops has always been a franchise where it's more over the top with that while Modern Warfare is the more realistic with it. Comparing the campaign to the ones from before and with the realism and horror of it is fine, but the new campaign had those moments too and has actually been one of the more well-received campaigns in a Call of Duty in a while. He decided to nitpick the worst looking and most awkward clips from it though that will always be awkward and weird when you play them out of context. And him choosing to show female devs, characters, etc. was definitely an intentional choice and feels like him trying to spin the narrative that they're hiring a bunch of unqualified feminists to make Call of Duty now and that this is why it's failing. Something he's done on many occasions as well. Especially when he watches and plays clips for videos by TheQuartering and other TH-camrs in that side of TH-cam.

For that reason, he likely watches them. Once you realize that, it isn't difficult to now put the pieces together with how he falsely depicted a few things in this video by purposely showing only the females working on it and the most stereotypical looking ones to build a narrative out of it. Especially for that Cyberpunk 2077 video he made. I won't make any assumptions that aren't proven, but it feels that way.

    You are implying that the "visual storytelling" of Crowbcat's video has issues but you do not see the main issue of the modern corposuits literally skinwalking specific groups of people (like women, for example) for the sake of some quick fortnitesque buck on a really old franchise. Like, dude, don't think people are stupid, nobody sees the whole picture as "haha women" (look at Warframe, for example, people genuinely respect Rebecca Ford), the main issue that everybody is talking about is how disgraceful current COD devs are.

    • @el_doinko

      I absolutely agree that I dislike CoD's current direction, however idk much about the whole "skinwalking demographics" meme. Seems like a rabbit hole that i just don't have time to get into off the rip.
      Whether or not *people* see it as "haha women," my issue is just with the content with this specific video. I don't want to go beyond the scope and act like I can estimate what the greater community thinks, or even just Crowbcat himself.
      Regardless, the anti-female sentiment is evident with the choice of both the in-game clips and dev clips in the video. After this was published I did get to see the Black Ops 6 Direct where those clips came from, and it really is a 50/50 split of male/female devs, so the choices seem more deliberate.

    Thank you for being a bit more subjective. Had to stop watching Crowb after their Sprint Vector vid because they were bullied into deleting the more positive aspects of the video and keeping the cynical vr portion. Seeing this video, it does seems like, while not outright stating it, Crowb has fallen into the pitfall of thinking modern gaming woes partly stem from the increase in female staff on games, which while im sure that affects company culture to a degree is NOT the reason for a lot of CODs (nor many games) issues with monetization, bad handling of inclusion etc. BO6 is certainly not an all around bad game but legit most if not all of the issues people seem to have with it is due to corporate greed moreso than playing into the idea of DEI ruining modern gaming.
    Ultimately seems like Crowb and their team are just kinda stuck in a corner on constantly making super cynical & negative videos and I dunno how much that's affected their video editing & topic picking process. But strongly implying female devs as a key part of the issue, especially knowing the fanbase he tends to attract, really sucks to see.

      It's really sad that the game play plays and bases it's actions like a slot machine to keep people hooked rather than making a good engaging expirence with a proper matchmaking system.....which I would say is ZERO SBMM for casual, and letting ranked play have SBMM.
      And let's not forget the skins do have a purpose. It makes its MUCH easier to identify friends over other teammates.
