  • DEI or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has been a buzzword for some time within the gaming community, with companies like SBI or Sweet Baby Inc and other WOKE consultancy agencies pushing ever more destructive political narratives in games. But where does it all come from and what exactly is BRIDGE

The majority are almost always too complacent to intervene even when it's in their own best interests to do so.

      i believe to be the most effective on this idea is to deny all media, stop consuming new or purchasing new content, or any content you have to pay for.
      so everything from movies to tv shows to advertisement's, use an adblocker if you can, do not purchase any music movies or tv shows, the entire entertainment industry must fold to us, the majority audience, the modern audience doesn't exist, they are less than 1% of the global population, they use media manipulation and politicians and various companies and bot farms online to make people believe they are the majority, but whenever a Quote woke game comes out and that modern audience doesn't show up, or maybe they do show up it's always less than 600 people, though i suppose for harry potter they convinced a million, but again how many of them were bot accounts?
      you have to think of this stuff when we talk about the modern audience.

      Exactly. In the post modern mindset there is no good or evil. That idea is mainly a Christian/Hebrew idea. It's the idea that nothing means anything and therefore anything goes. It's relativism at it's core. Being a Christian I am of course against that idea but people who hold that belief are very open to the ideas behind communism . DEI gives them a purpose in this world when they had no purpose before. It's something George Orwell talked about in 1984 which was inspired by all the events he witnessed after WW2. For them there is only the victim and the oppressed. It all goes back to Marx and the working class and the well off. It's the exact same thing just slightly altered. A lot of it comes from Antonio Gramsci and his ideas about entertainment being taken over by Communist ideas because Western nations had a defense in the form of the free market. DEI believers now simply use minoritys as a substitute for the working class to cause division between people. They don't care about helping people or bringing them together. It's all about tearing everything apart and rebuilding it using Equity ie- communism.

      And don't forget Paulo Freire. He was a huge inspiration for teachers in the 70's who went to him to learn about how to push communism in schools. Antonio Gramsci of course was the big start of what could be called Modern Marxism but his works went pretty much unknown until the 60' and 70's when a lot of the failed hippies became disappointed with the progress they had failed to make and went into teaching using Freire's ideas as a stepping stone for what would become DEI,ESG.

Once Post Modern ideas became popular it got even easier and social media hasn't helped. It's like he used the hammer on people to spread evil but that didn't work so well. Once Communist ideas came along the hammer was put aside and the scalpel was used. A cut here a cut there and pretty soon up is down,left is right, straight is bad and it's clown world where anything goes. Then once that takes hold it's back to the hammer. It's happened every time these post modern ideas have been put into play. Especially Marxist ideas which have never been successful.

    AccolonnTV, no you are not blowing this out of proportion. Though I may be biased, I have been pushing this point same as you for some time now. Remind people about what has happened to sports, television, music, comics, and that is only to name a few, point being the ideas are firmly rooted there and most media is activism rather than strictly entertainment now. So this whole idea that everything is going to blow over by end of summer is just ignorant hopeful talk. The money used, as you said investors. Thing is that the investors are not using their own money, they dont have to because they get their investment money from banks, mortgages, and of course traditional investment packages for retirement an such, essentially even if you do not buy another game you are still in some way funding the next DEI trainwreck. So it will take some time, the cost of producing the games has to become prohibitive to the point that people who give their money to things I listed an expect a return are no longer willing to play along with these games.

    I dont think there will be a full on video game industry crash, but rather a triple a crash. Since a lot of indie games dont have dei stuff and are really good and successful. And i dont think that these people have so much power as everyone thinks they have. The public and the market will sort them out and the companies associated with them. And we are already seeing shifts like with microsoft firing all their consulting teams

      Honestly I think this is going to happen in the wider entertainment industry. I remember all the incoherent screeching when Elon fired a huge chunk of staff from Twitter but, on the QT, there appear to be more and more companies that are starting to axe their DEI initiatives. I think some organisations will be more resistant to change than others. Disney, for example, went absolutely balls deep with this type of stuff and they've managed to get these ideologues into almost every level of management in the company.
      I'm pretty sure things will slowly sort themselves out; it really just depends on how much financial pain these companies are prepared to go through.

    Focus on the games that don't push it and revisit your backlog. Go play a bunch of older games too, especially those that you never played before.

    100% agree with your points, because even if by some miracle we manage to get ESG/DEI/BRIDGE out of the gaming industry, there would still be major underlying issues. Like unqualified CEOs/Game directors in positions of power, unfinished games and extremely predatory MTX in full price games. A second gaming crash needs to happen, and I genuinely think it will, at least for the Western AAA sector.
    This is why i have been setting up my emulators for Switch, PS2, PS3 and Xbox360 i have walked away from the AAA market and only really buy Indie and AA games from the west and majority of AAA games i bought are from the East. Between that and older games that i never got a chance to play growing up, ill be fine without any Modern AAA slop coming out for a long while.
    But yea people may not want to hear it, but a lot of these studios are compromised, which mean so are your favorite IPs. You have to walk away from them and let them burn to the ground, you can not control what someone else does with a product they own. So the best thing to do is walk away, which is what I've done, I still point and laugh whenever i see an SBI game flop. But these companies and the entire AAA game industry will basically need a hard reset so just don't buy AAA focus it into games that actually give you the products you want (i.e Palworld, Evil West and Hopefully Black Myth WuKong). And once AAA Burns downs, hopefully the second iteration of it will actually understand they have to give their customer base what they want in order to survive.

      they will understand that until they hit on some massive success that brings the big money suits looking again... in the words of pretty much every known villain ever, "everyone has a price..." The entire economic system is broken and needs to be looked at again. I don't think Capitalism as we understand it is right for the future of humanity but we've already proven that communism/socialism/every other currently understood economic ideology doesn't achieve the desired outcome so why don't we take the best parts of all of these and make something new that might actually work this time? And no, before anyone even says anything I'm not a bitcoin bro because that has the same problems as capitalism, but worse since it's even easier for corporations to lock down control of. In many aspects I'm definitely aligned more with conservatives but when it comes to economics, nope, neither side has it figured out yet.

    The crush will come for triple A and it'll take a while however due to the money they collected the years but nobody is undefeated and there are several cases in every aspects if people search it.
    The esg money etc are coming from corpos like BlackRock etc and they go wherever the money are and if there are no money they won't invest (unless they want to go bankrupt as well) so it comes to the hands of the people to grow a pair and fight back.

      It does yes. But more people need to know about what's going on before it's too late. It's not just about games it's about all media being used against us to spread the ideas of Marxism or communism. It's about taking over everything. So it's important for people to see that it goes beyond entertainment and right into the very fabric of how people live their lives. Remember Equity is communism. It's that simple. It's right there when people say that equality isn't enough. They have to force equality. You won't have a choice in the matter. That's Equity. So when people talk about that don't be afraid to push back against it.

    There is not going to be a gaming crash. They are trying to brainwash new devs straight from school...but not every dev goes to school for it. Companies that subscribed to DEI are already bashed online for becoming offensive because of it and they are also failing because they waste piles of cash they could use to make a better game for cheaper. Companies that insist on keeping the standard either crumble, leaving spots for new competition or are so strong brandwise that they essencially cannot fail. Indie devs will do some strongarming again and in 10 years the drama will be nigh forgotten.

      I think a crash is still possible but there are many companies out there that can survive it like Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA, Rockstar. Many won't be able to survive it like Ubisoft, Bethesda, Bioware, and other AA companies that are trying to ride the woke wave. And there's also some wildcard companies like Capcom who have been in financial trouble in the past but were saved by monster hunter but you see them now making huge mistakes again. So no , maybe the entire industry won't "crash" as we know the term, but what is certain is that it will be a wasteland until companies are once again customer driven and not ideologically driven.

    Dear Accolonn, I am honest I am not a sub and I only stumble occasionally over your videos and most of them are rather good thought provoking ones but here thier is some insane missunderstanding of history and the differences between facism, communism, marxism, stalinism and maoism. Yes communismus as a philosphy that tended and tends to surface in the inteligencia aka universitys thats why Marxism came from Karl Marx, a German journalist living in London writing about communism while he himself was not really a hard worker nor a poor man that wanted to share what he had. Stalinism and Maoism both went throught a time of backwardness because they improsioned and killed highly educated people and the cliche fashist student you have in mind when talking about Hitler are thos indoctrinated for years under a brutal and relentless dictatorship that killed everyone that even provoked to think something else.
    But dont get me wrong you are right with all of the DIE, Bridge shit that is happening and yes the extreme woke left seems to be coming from universitys. The problem is that political stances are far more nuanced these day then simply left and right, some examples I consider my self a centrist with left leaning view on some economical points but that woke shit can go fuck it self or the party system of the USA, americans seem to think that you have a some what left leaning and a right leaning or conservative party but for people from other democratic nations you goverment is just different shades of right/ conservativ with some exceptions like Kennedy or Roosevelt but even them could never be considered left by any standard.
    The tldr is dont make historical references between modern left and right and Hitler, Stalin and Mao because setting people on the same level as those psychopathic mass murderers is as extreme as the things they do that you find bad and you dont want to get down on thier level in terms of discussion culture.

Conservatism says, I don't know why this wall was built but, before we tear it down we should maybe first make sure, it may just be that this wall exists for a reason.
