Thank you for watching! It’s incredible it took as long as it did before someone resorted to black mail with all of this. Helldivers fans are fighting back too & Resident Evil 5 is NOT racist. I’m amazed we’re still having this conversation in 2024. G-FUEL CODE: ENDYMION G-FUEL LINK: sldr.page.link/L53U Instagram: endymionn Twitter: EndymionYT
The sheer audacity of these people to call themselves “righteous” while also making it their mission to ruin people’s lives simply for disagreeing with them. Beyond disgusting.
It's fun... it's fun they want to ruin.. if they see anyone having fun they have to find a way to stick victimhood into it, and try lecture everyone. It's the story of the modern left.
Ironically, HD2 has realistic LGBT repatriation: the crew member next to the Stratagem Hero machine is female and has a wife, mentioned in one random dialogue line, where she mentions they filled out a child permit just in case. That's it. They're there, but they don't instantly draw attention to themselves. You might even miss them. That's tasteful.
It’s always about how it’s done. Hearing that makes me feel happy for the characters in the game. Unlike Destiny, which stated out of nowhere that Saint and Osiris are gay lovers and have been shoving it in our face along with every other relationship that isn’t straight. Hell, they had lore tabs about the big bad Fallen character Eramis having a female lover and SOMEHOW having kids with her? It feels tacked on with almost no thought behind it.
Honestly, as much as their department sucks, I feel that Destiny also does the diversity correctly. They have straight, gay, bi characters, characters that have changed race, creed and even sex.... but they don't point to it and say "LOOK HOW BRAVE MARA SOV IS! OMG SAINT IS SUCH A SOUL HE GAY SO MUCH!"... they're just there and that's who they are
Thats what Actual representation is. Equality here irl is nobody giving a fuck. But they are in constant need for validation and control of what you see, what you think, etc. so they shove their identity and politics down your throat and when you question it or say something against their ideology you are a racist, facist bigot. Which also makes those words have less impact which only serves to empower actual bigotry im the shadows. But i agree HD2 devs, politics do NOT belong in their game and I appreciate a dev team that is not bending to these psychos
dei coming up against that thing we call "capitalism" - if it doesn't make money and ALSO doesn't make a good game, i struggle to see why publishers are listening at all....?
@@sophies9274 They are forced to by being stuck in a rut with their finances and loans chained to the whole thing. If they don't play along they get burned and if they do play along they get burned financially . Best not to go to any of these companies for any financial services
It's not only SBI's fault but it's their fault cubed. Literally ruined games for their agenda, when they popped up on the radar they added gas to a fire they should've stayed silent on, and acting like the hivemind that the echo chamber is they changed the "argument" from harassment on them to "gamers are bad". Every gamer who has looked from left to right and came to the conclusion that the games of today are lacking didn't know what was responsible while knowing why it was lackluster. The SBI debacle has given gamers the "what" and SBI's responses, reactions and lack of remorse have sealed the "what" from the gamer's perspective.
@@iwatcher69Oh how fantastic would that be.. They literally ignore players that don't have rainbow flags. Like you could stand right in front of 3 drop ship loads of automatons and they're only concern is destroying the idiot Hell Diver with the rainbow flag. That would be fantastic and makes sense.
I am proud of humanity. Be it white, black, yellow, or anything. I am proud of my species, I am proud to be human. -Robert Heinlien. This is my motto and view of humanity.
except democracy is overrated. and people's view of democracy, liberty and freedom is one that is imposed on the world by the materialistic West, imposed through terror and war.
They want equality for everybody regardless of race or sexuality. The second a game is made that makes everybody equal: "nooooooo I need to be different I want people to knowwwww this is my whole personalityyyyy"
The thing about this game is the story is inherently woke in principal. I just don't get why people are ignoring it. the government are racist, facist, and how they use propaganda to control the masses. It makes sense that this game has no LGBT symbolism because the government would have taken any political showing to "unite" the world under one super earth banner.
it makes absolutely no sense in helldivers because there is absolutely no sexual dialogue or anything of that nature in the game... the sexuality of anyone in game is never discussed, so how do these idiots know that theyre NOT gay? maybe its one big super gay earth... like if youre gay why is it so hard to just believe that without having to wear a giant fucking rainbow cape...
I love that a simple Steam page noting what SBI has worked on has proven to be a fkn powder keg. They knew that it was going to cost them millions. And then Chris Kindred made it exponentially worse. You love to see it.
Love how they refuse to fire him because they're afraid of being labeled racists and transphobic. Because any working business with a brain would of fired him and issued a statement. But at this point, firing him won't make a difference. Better he and every woke consultant firm go down with their ship.
If they would just ignore it, they wouldn't risk that much, like, about 5k-10k players when they noticed, it was about 300k dollars lost if every single one of gamers back then wouldn't buy a game. Not much lost, couls be easily recovered and noone would notice any changes. Now we're talking in millions. Still not that much, yet cost of their mistake was suddenly grown exponantionally.
Putting those flags and capes in the game would be an absolute disaster. Trolls would grief and friendly fire people using them. Heck, people would have somebody they know friendly fire themselves just to upload content online for sympathy points. Then game journalists will exploit this to the highest degree
Resident Evil 5: The game is set in Africa, showing how big corporations and bad actors exploit poor countries to do illegal things where few people watch or care. Game journalist: "RACIST!"
@@NoshikiYTAnd their own choices. They have more natural resources than Japan ever has had yet Japan is one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Exploitation is not the only answer for why countries are poor.
As a gay guy I don’t want a rainbow cape just as I don’t want any real life symbol. Also, the game has a serious RP and I love it! The last thing I want is people bringing religion, nationalism, sexuality or whatever to the game! The moment we start having real world elements in the game we are going to end up with players attacking each others like on twitter 😓
lets be honest... you and everyone here know if they add rainbow capes to the game... that is going to high the stakes of "DEMOCRATIZED BY FRIENDLY FIRE" as response by the comunity
When RE5 came out, I was working on a VideoGame store as manager, full schedule. Not one, not even once, any customer at any moment complained or discussed or debated why black enemies only. 100% of the conversations was about gameplay, differences from previous games, comparissons with Dead Rising or Silent Hill and mainly RE4. These "journalists" are making shit up, as always.
Exactly. It was because one 1 idiot journalist at that time who made a big fuzz over the game and caused unnecessary controversy. Now IGN is bringing it again because “WHY?….” And Capcom even went as far as to ad Sheva and make half of the Majinis white to balance things out. Journos who resort to cause such meaningless calamity to make a dishonest buck should be fired and sent to an asylum. Smh…
The funny thing is some guy called racism 15 years ago back when the demo was out and Capcom added Caucasian zombies into the final version. So I have no f'ing clue what this IGN guy is on about there.
I had an artdirector telling me back in my student times that they have blacklists for wrongsay and he proudly supported it. I figured out the only way out is to fund my own company or leave the industry entirely though I had and still have good shots at it. Still in the cubicle for civic reasons , but plans are growing. Our best way to fight this nonsense is to start independent companies and STAY independent from brainwashed HR and publishers, plus we will need youtubers like you . Thank you for your hard work.
The only diversity I want in Helldivers is some more voices, because currently there's really just two. I want to really hammer home the idea that the respawn is a whole other diver with the random setting, and some different voices and accents would go a long way.
It'd also help if they could add a randomize setting to body type too... And maybe slightly more variation in the body types... Maybe add one of those triangle slider things like fallout 4 had? Honestly I think they need to work on patching bugs first before they upgrade stuff...
Identifying as anything else but with Super Earth is treason: Our differences, unless combat wise, don’t matter for we, the people, are unified as one. Separation will only weaken this bond we have with our fellow Helldivers and citizens of Super Earth.
They went from "inclusion" to "exclusion" in the blink of an eye: "We don't want your money," the CEO of the gaming consultancy said to gamers / customers.
its ironic how all these companies and devs rush to protect SBI yet, all casually forget one small detail. It was Chris that started this. Had he not had such a meltdown, this might have been a nothing burger.
The sad truth is they kinda have to protect SBI even if they know they are the ones who caused this whole shitstorm. As Grummz pointed out a lot of high profile gaming companies were suckered into being dependent on pro-wokness funding, because without it they could never put out games of the same scale, so at this point if they don't want their funding taken away they have to protect companies like SBI whether they want to or not, same goes for all the woke game jurno sittes. The sad truth is most of these companies are forced to either white knight for the woke mob or risk going under and until these ESG funds have any power that will likely not change which is why I think it i so important to vote with our wallets and financially destroy woke games which is why the SBI detected steam group and their curator list is so important. We need to make woke games unprofitable and games like helldivers 2 that reject all that woke bs extremely successful because that will make companies realize that going back to the glory days of gaming where fun gameplay was the goal and not political messaging is gonna be more profitable for them than relying on handouts from funds that want to push a woke message.
Because those people are desperate for manufactured drama in an attempt to stay relevant. The whole SBI situation is a boycott, a consumer movement to express disapproval. The fact they "mistake" it for harassment it's on them and them alone
They're an ideological cult who cannot accept themselves and so demand validation and acceptance by all but even if they could achieve that, it wouldn't satisfy them as the source of their suffering is based in a spiritual acceptance of lies and a fundamental rejection of the truth which keeps them chained to suffering. I genuinely feel sorry them because they're spiritually sick and suffering tremendously because they have believed lies at a heart/soul level and thus have become blinded and twisted into a prideful, self righteous, self destructive slave to satan. It's really sad, they need the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Then and only then will they ever be satisfied.
Look I’m a gay man, and I am 100 percent on the side of keeping this game as it is, it doesn’t need diversity!!! It’s equal and fun as it is it doesn’t need to symbolise anything but a fun experience which it already achieves! So thanks gamers and developers for holding the line. I don’t want to force any agenda. Most of us just want to be able to walk down street, hold our partners hand without people judging us. Not replace every flag on flag poles with rainbow flags. Besides most LGB persons hate wokeness and using us as a shield to protect open communism. We aren’t for doing that!!!
Honor in Japan is much more important than here in the west. If you don't have it, you're socially dead. Companies with bad image can't get far. That makes em more resistant to wokeness
Every time i hear someone is an activist, i know for the fact they aren't for it, they just want clout, talking over the people they want to represent.
“You will always find something to be offended over when you want to be offended” When I see a lesbian, bisexual, or gay, I see another human being who probably has felt the same feelings of betrayal, dismissal, humiliation and rejection I have in my life, and I don’t judge them for it. I judged based off of someone’s character and treatment of others, and if you’re gay and try to harass others, you’re just as wicked as the straight man who tries to harass others for not sharing his beliefs. Prejudice is prejudice, and judgment is judgment, but what we can judge without fault is people being unkind towards others since we do have control over that.
BACK when IGN was actually good. I remember coming home from school, turning to channel 74 and relaxing. It’s no where near that now, this was 10-15 years ago
Me, a game developer. DEI firms and Blackrock: "Excuse me, we'd like to offer you a business deal-" Me: "Go screw yourselves." *takes drink* This is how companies need to react. Go it alone, don't accept chains.
@@lakerain4723 Yeah but who cares what Commie globalists think? Their very ideology fails by default. It's just a matter of how many have to suffer before the inevitable collapse.
unfortunately they can't because game developers need tons of funding and if they don't push the woke crap from blackrock etc. they don't get the borrowing rates or fundings from the market lol. I wish these companies would just fail so we can get on with making good stuff again.
Wait, so is that effectively a former Nintendo and bungie employee admitting they were creating products and making them worse, which in turn generates less sales and money and devalues their stock? Sounds like a lawsuit to me!
Except they're not running off sales anymore. We've thanks to Bush, been in the era of bailout/bank money. It's more profitable to have the right politics than to actually produce anything of value.
All those game devs that got purged for not being woke is depressing. I really hope that they can start banning together and create new inde dev teams.
Considering the majority of people still can't come to terms with the reality behind the humor in this game and the devs here have perfectly slid into their Super Earth character while the everyday folk display every reason of why they may have been purged from their positions in the first place and, like usual, the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy continues to fly over their heads... I don't think they'd be able to come up with a non-predatory game concept without dabbling in those wOkE ideas. It's like fiction fans being mad at concepts that aren't realistic. Oil and water, bud 😑
And they wonder why the gaming industry is collapsing under the weight of it's own wokeness. Funnily enough. studios who are doing well put out games that 1) don't preach "the message"; 2) are fun to play; 3) don't grift the players with microtransaction as every turn.
@@rolytnz at least the AAA sector. As you described in quality, the indie scene and those that actually understand what woke means are doing very well for themselves. Less imperial propaganda cycle, more crowding around the arcade cabinet/TV while some random homies shred.
The Helldivers 2 thing hilarious because of what it reminds me of; when babies are told 'no' for the first time. For those who don't know, the event is usually a full on meltdown of screaming, crying, and throwing themselves on the floor to flail around. You know how parents stop that from becoming a habit? By not relenting to what I believe to be the ultimate childish behavior. IIRC, there's even an old Trojan commercial where this is parodied in a grocery store.
I appreciate their commitment to the product as a whole. Woke, anti-woke, they're banning all of them. They don't want 'any' politics bullshi t in their game and kicking out both sides is the best way to keeping most players content.
The Trojan commercial is showing a boy throwing a tantrum and the dad stands there obviously wishing he’d used a condom instead of disciplining his child.
This is extremely ironic considering that SBI was named precisely after this concept (they consider normal gamers to be "spoiled babies who were never told 'no'") 😅
Dont gate keep to much less you lose more also everyone blames normies as if they arnt the ones who buy a lot of the shit we like and instead of blaming the goddamn idiots who are actually trying to ruin things (karen, overzealous idiots, a type of clown that should never have existed and is a insult to the entire clown industry) people blame the normies as if their fully at fault for the death of games
(Warning, im from Mexico, so english is my second language, sorry for possible mistakes) Those people (like Sweet Baby) are acting like real fascism... Because in fascism, the political's symbols are obligated to put everywhere, even in the most unpolitical place... "LGBT are not politic, they exist", of curse they do, but, attack people just because others don't put your symbols in EVERYWHERE and calling them "bad people", that's the moment you transform all in politic... Oh WOW, LIKE A REAL FASCISM DO, what a surprise...
English is also not my first language but, damn dude you make some pretty serious points (aside from some spelling mistakes ofcourse :P). I'm going use your points incase I get into some arguments.
Don't give up your dreams because of other people. We need good people in entertainment. And with all these activists being fired there should be plenty of job opportunities.
@SpunkyStreams you should reach out to these guys they might be able to help with your fears about them stifling your channel growth and how they would not help you promote the channel because how you look. Hang in there buddy you’re getting through this!
When i heard FBI is monitoring gamers and homeland security is involving themselves with SBI, i realized that i 100% agree with Vivek Ramaswamy that the federal departments like FBI, dept of edu, HL security etc.,must be shut down. Seriously, all the crap thats happening and these idiots are going after gamers!?...
They’ve been overreaching since the patriot act. If anything the younger generation is finally seeing the bloat led tyrannical systems. Sure it’s not an overt oppression but if you question the US motives and certain and specific institutions ie ADL and or NUMEC, then get ready to be shadow banned. During COVID Bank of America shut people’s bank accounts for defying lockdowns…that’s anti trust and nothing was done to fight it…
It's likely just small sections of each department. You think they'd actually pull the guys trying to break human trafficking rings and stuff to monitor that crap? I doubt they even do anything unless a violent threat is implied, and even then I don't know if they can make an arrest. As I recall those kinds of cases need to have some more substance to them or the charges can get dismissed.
Also called them "violent even before infection", which is just an out-and-out lie. The game makes sure to showcase the people, normal people, being infected and only then becoming hostile. Literally every Majini has a Plaga bursting out of his or her throat.
I saw something similar with the LGBT community throwing a tantrum about not getting what they want in a game, It’s called Unicorn overlord and it’s a fantasy game and you play a prince exiled from his home kingdom by evil tyrant yadayadauada but in the game there is this thing called a pact ring, basically whoever is given this ring will have their life forever intertwined with the prince. Naturally this means for every female companion he gives this to it is an engagement ring However when he gives it to a guy it basically turns the guy into the princes right hand man, first of his guard, personal knight etc. etc The stink some people were throwing about not being able to propose to the male characters was insane, what was even more insane was the defense people were giving, expectation of taking a queen to carry on the bloodline, royale obligations etc. etc It was kind of hilarious when I pointed out “hey the prince is not ment to be a self insert in the story, he has his own character and agency in the story, if he doesn’t proposes to any guys it’s probably because he isn’t gay/bi” the meltdown to that was especially hilarious
I was on the fence about this game as it had been compared to Fire Emblem (I love the series but I'm sick of the waifu simulator aspects in all of them now) but I don't want another dating sim disguised as a tactics game. The main character not just being a player insert this time sounds so refreshing.
SBI got upset when a list of the games they were involved in was published, therefore they know they have an agenda that is not in the interests of the customers.
@SpunkyStreams we really hope you’re not on that list 😮💨. Don’t worry I think you will still be able to grow a channel no matter how you look. People here seem like they might support you Spunky!! ❤
Excuse me sir but I'll have you know that everything the ministry of truth says is 100% informative, evidence-based and factually correct at all times, and is in no way meant to be persuasive or coercive in any way.... And that anyone suggesting otherwise is branding themselves a dissident and traitor to super-earth, and will be dealt with accordingly... Now, would you like to alter/retract your statement, or should I report you to my democracy officer?
Amazing video, the alcohol part about Berrit hit me too. Thank you and continue to speak your mind and fight for what's right. I actually teared when you talked Berrit, I'm 52 , played the original ff7 and Berrit was always a favorite of mine.
What's funny is they're so smug and smart asses but everything they touch dies and the one thing that does the opposite of them is thriving. It just shows that they're wrong
Western Game Developer/Publisher "Nobody wants your money, go spend it on Anime Off-brand" Me: "Jokes on you then, been doing that for more than 15 years now."
i can't help but smile when I heard that, just proves what i've known for years now, they don't like anime and think its all porn Whether is the left being jealous or the right thinking its kiddy shit both sides do not respect it and the boom of japanese entertainment infuriates these people because its lame to them And i say good, stay away from the things I like, if you don't like it don't infect it
And then they wonder why games like Forspoken, Saint Row reboot etc force studios to close down.🤣 Well, you didn't want our money, remember? Have fun at the unemployment line. 🤣
I think, devs should add LGBT symbolic, claiming that Super Earth is fascist state run by LGBT. And automatons didn't want LGBT in their lives, so they rebelled. And then if LGBT still complains, I would remove it entirely - claiming they need to get their shit together and decide which they want. Choice is binary: fascist Super Earth with LGBT at the top, or no LGBT at all.
C’mon HP get creative I believe in you put your feeling about it into words. I’m sure there are many more that are at that same point, myself included.
Yeah. Its not even just "mu videogames" though that is a factor, its all demoralizing. But I swear when I see people go down the woke rabbit hole, one day having no issue with being a man, the next demanding you use "she/her" pronouns to refer to themselves. Like, this isnt just annoying this is evil, and its hurting people.
Not them, but if I were to "get creative" about describing my disgust towards wokeness, my comment would get automatically deleted by the algorithm.@@Nathan-kv6yu
I count myself as what you probably call a woke, but I don't see the point of representation here either, as it's set in a fictional world with its own rules and laws. We don't even know for sure if our avatars are real people.
I am a 65 y-o huW. fem. Been gaming for 25 years. I view video games as a way to escape from real-world 💩. I do NOT want CRT, DEI, BLM, etc; in my games. Period. I rec Mark Dice, Salty Cracker, Raging Dissident on YT and/or Rumble. Exc. content. Naughty language, tho. 😮
@@makokx7063 same as @DragonKnightX12 most of us western gamers now hate western games and we cant stand them and we do not trust western developers anymore. the only games and media i consume come from the east please do not let this BS happen over there im serious eastern made anime and games are far superior to the garbage we make over here sure the graphics and everything look great over here for our games but they are so loaded with woke propaganda that no one wants to play them. my favorite games from the past couple of years are Elden Ring and Persona 5 bc they dont have that BS in them, and btw they are very well made and prioritize player enjoyment and not the players politics. its sad but america where i live seems to not be a free place to live anymore. i honestly think our country will not last much longer similar things are happening here now that used to happen in Rome before the empire fell and many other dynasties sexual liberation seems to be a theme for countries that are about to fail also diversifying the population seems to be another theme before the downfall of an empire but a lot of ppl here are stupid and they dont realize we are repeating history and all these progressive ideals have been tried before many many times and they always fail and ruin the country. all i want is to be able to watch a show or play a game and not be preached at for how evil they think i am for being white, straight, or male is that really too much to ask?
@@makokx7063Yeah because here in NA videogames are weaponized, it became to a tool to spread a narrative and an agenda. You can see it through our medias too. It's a joke honestly.
@@Drygores1337My heart goes out to you guys. In Japan no one gives a shit about it. People aren't xenophobic or hateful, either. If someone is trans every ones like, "oh, ok". If the transwoman wants to use a woman's bathroom every ones like, "ha ha ha, no". Big booby women in the comics and video games and dudes doing dope shit. While at the same time having very deep and meaningful story. It's great a lot of Japanese stuff reaches a foreign audience but there are still some games that don't make the leap.
12:38 ‘I’m not interested in explaining X to you’….translation: ‘I can’t defend the opinion I have about X and refuse to have it challenged. Accept my opinion as truth’.
I wonder if one of the reasons modern games are so expensive (pushing 70 bucks) is because they are adding so many unnecessary staff like these consulting firms adding to the overall cost of production.
I just hope if they do, they remove the Mesoamerican (specifically, Toltec) elements from the jungle temple sequence. I don't know much about the kind of ruins you'd find in that region of Africa, but they definitely didn't look like those in Mexico.
I get so sick of political garbage making its way into video games. I'm there to play a game and have fun, not worry about other people and their opinions. Why can't we all just have fun like in the 90's
I'll be honest If LGBT capes were added the amount of friendly fire "incidents" would go up and my accuracy may stray to those capes and mistake them for a bug.
The more of these companies jumping to SBI's defense the better. It gives us more companies to blacklist and boycott and they can watch the ripple effect and keep doubling down until they vanish into obscurity.
There's a saying that floats around the main book publishing industry "the years are short but the memories are long". This stuff has been happening in other industries if you do, say or create something that goes against the core accepted narrative you get ex-communicated and ousted from the industry and blacklisted. Now that gaming is the biggest entertainment industry on the planet it's attracting all sorts. Never be shamed into stopping the gatekeeping and keep them out or it's going to spread to every corner of gaming.
It just like JD said back in May at the Cannes Film Festival, and remember what he said “It's a very strange, funny time where everybody would love to be able to be themselves but they can't. They must fall in line with the person in front of them. If you want to live that life, I wish you the best. I'll be on the other side somewhere.”
Joining a cult involves immolating one's self in favor of a ready-made collective identity. This is an "intersectional" cult. You aren't you. You are trans or black or a woman...
"Re 5 needs a black protagonist" sooo... does Sheva just not exist then? Or???? And it's plenty empathetic towards the outbreak, there's even commentary in the game about how horrible it is lol.... do these people even play the games they remake?
I'm bisexual but I'm not going to whine to game devs asking them to put a flag, cape, emblem, skin, etc into the game juat so I can feel special. It's ridiculous how people nowadays just want developers to bend the knee and justndo whatever they say becuase if some stubid reason
“They’re used to getting their way.” Yeah, that’s basically it, they’ve been so pampered for so long it feels like oppression when people don’t kowtow to them.
Dang dude, you covered a lot in this video. I guess we should kinda thank that lawyer guy for just admitting that everything we think is wrong with the industry is true. And thank you too Endymion for helping to shine a light on the truth.
this reminds me of a situation where i wanted my countries flag in a game that had flags ingame for every sexuality that exists, but when i asked for my countries flag i was ridiculed.
Imagine this: Step 1: Devs lets rainbow capes and trans capes in game. Step 2: Players that are against woke game ideologies begin to eradicate fellow Helldivers using said capes considering them traitors to super earth Step 3: A massacre is under way of any and all rain bow cape users. Step 4: the rainbow cape users cry Step 5: Devs say: So do you still want this? Step 6: Weeks pass by and most rainbow cape users leave the game. Step 7: Rainbow flags are removed due to unintended treatment of fellow helldivers. Step 8: Some sort of contrversial pc gamer, Kotaku, or other biased article is written of the events. Step 9: Devs say we warned you. Step 10: The game thrives more attracting those who want a woke free game.
That would be awesome. With a minor change to step 6, perma ban any players that used the cape, incase they didnt realize during the righteous culling that they are not wanted anywhere.
For the most part it would make sense, but if you take games like grand theft auto, where it’s based on a world like ours. Having it in there makes sense. On a game like helldiver, halo, final fantasy, it is not a coherent story element
Meh. Nations aren't all created equally. Sports is bread and games. Division, yes. But distraction above all. Flags serve to display alliance and nothing more. It's someone showing you their "tribe" of choice. I don't hate when my enemy wears his heart on his sleeve (literally)
I absolutely LOVE this video! It’s refreshing to FINALLY see that some game studios are pushing back against this woke nonsense. Pandering to an audience that isn’t even there has already cost Disney millions of dollars, and it sounds like, as of recently, their investors are tired of losing money and have now made drastic changes. Hopefully, a similar swing will happen in the gaming industry before it completely collapses. Thankfully, like many gamers, I have a large backlog of games that have nothing to do with “the message,” so I can just ignore a lot of current generation titles. I will never bend the knee to this agenda, and will always put my money where my mouth is. Stay strong, everyone! We will eventually turn the tide!
I remember the OG arguments about how "racist" RE5 was back when it wasn't out yet. Race baiters like Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson, one of the two, stated the game is Rayceest, because whyte boy Redfield is running around Africa shooting.... Black people. Never mind Sheva. She didn't exist. RE6 took place in numerous places, like China, and the whole crew killed tons of Chinese. No one cared. Who's the racist ones?
They also ignore Josh Stone. The Racism Allegations were investigated in the UK and they concluded it's not. It is true that Most of the "Enemies" are black, but every Villain is white.
So heres the thing about representation for marginalized groups. When everyone is truly equal there doesnt need to be any representation. Thats why there are no flags of any kind except the super earth flag in Helldivers 2.
I came into this video with a biased opinion, but you bring up a very fair point. It's a very controversial subject so I feel the best way to keep player toxicity low, would be to remain completely neutral.
hell we don't need those people in Super Earth. we don't need them in irl too. their usage of psuedoscience to normalize themselves is harming the society.
Have to wonder if the lawyer deleted his posts because either someone pointed out the fact that he essentially admitted to something that could result in him, and any company he worked for, being sued… most likely into the ground. Either someone pointed that out or his lawyer brain part finally clicked on in a “oh crap!” moment. Unfortunately for him, the internet is forever. He may not end up getting sued, but I won’t be surprised if a lawsuit arises out from this and his posts are used as evidence.
Something that took a long time to sink in but is very important for people to remember. People who want to be left alone, will lose more than people who desire to push an agenda because activity trumps passivity. The activists will always be on the offensive looking to be proactive rather than reactive and defensive. If you want to win this fight you need to be proactive, otherwise you're just dying a death of a thousand cuts.

Oh it's deeper....Just look into the WEF and Blackrock.....And they've been preparing for the better part of 50 years. The "right-wing conspiracy theorists" have been into this crap for awhile, but normies are just now starting to take notice. We didn't catch them by surprise. There is simply a lot more pushback now than ever.
It's funny that they freak out about the SBI list when they want to get rid of players like us, they should actually be glad about a list that makes players like us steer away from their games, it actually helps them reach their goal.
Thank you for watching! It’s incredible it took as long as it did before someone resorted to black mail with all of this. Helldivers fans are fighting back too & Resident Evil 5 is NOT racist. I’m amazed we’re still having this conversation in 2024.

Ironically, HD2 has realistic LGBT repatriation: the crew member next to the Stratagem Hero machine is female and has a wife, mentioned in one random dialogue line, where she mentions they filled out a child permit just in case.
That's it. They're there, but they don't instantly draw attention to themselves. You might even miss them. That's tasteful.
It’s always about how it’s done. Hearing that makes me feel happy for the characters in the game.
Unlike Destiny, which stated out of nowhere that Saint and Osiris are gay lovers and have been shoving it in our face along with every other relationship that isn’t straight. Hell, they had lore tabs about the big bad Fallen character Eramis having a female lover and SOMEHOW having kids with her? It feels tacked on with almost no thought behind it.
Honestly, as much as their department sucks, I feel that Destiny also does the diversity correctly. They have straight, gay, bi characters, characters that have changed race, creed and even sex.... but they don't point to it and say "LOOK HOW BRAVE MARA SOV IS! OMG SAINT IS SUCH A SOUL HE GAY SO MUCH!"... they're just there and that's who they are
very tasteful indeed.
@@provaricus627This comment made me find my old Destiny 2 CD and snap it in half... That was satisfying.
Thats what Actual representation is. Equality here irl is nobody giving a fuck. But they are in constant need for validation and control of what you see, what you think, etc. so they shove their identity and politics down your throat and when you question it or say something against their ideology you are a racist, facist bigot. Which also makes those words have less impact which only serves to empower actual bigotry im the shadows. But i agree HD2 devs, politics do NOT belong in their game and I appreciate a dev team that is not bending to these psychos

SBI employees starting the biggest Streisand effect in gaming will never not be funny 🤣
It’s incredible
Thank you Chris Kringle. 🙏
I know right!
Its glorious to watch!
It's not only SBI's fault but it's their fault cubed. Literally ruined games for their agenda, when they popped up on the radar they added gas to a fire they should've stayed silent on, and acting like the hivemind that the echo chamber is they changed the "argument" from harassment on them to "gamers are bad".
Every gamer who has looked from left to right and came to the conclusion that the games of today are lacking didn't know what was responsible while knowing why it was lackluster. The SBI debacle has given gamers the "what" and SBI's responses, reactions and lack of remorse have sealed the "what" from the gamer's perspective.
Biggest Streisand effect so far. It's great.
Rainbow flags and capes!? Sounds like treason to me.
See how fast they shut the friendly fire off if they were to implement that trash in the game.
if thats the case, the devs should put in a feature where the Bugs and bots go after the letter people first...hahahaha
@@iwatcher69Oh how fantastic would that be.. They literally ignore players that don't have rainbow flags.

Woke is the anti-thesis of Freedom. They seek to hijack and takeover everything they infect.
except democracy is overrated. and people's view of democracy, liberty and freedom is one that is imposed on the world by the materialistic West, imposed through terror and war.
They want equality for everybody regardless of race or sexuality. The second a game is made that makes everybody equal: "nooooooo I need to be different I want people to knowwwww this is my whole personalityyyyy"
They don’t want equality at all, they want special treatment..
The thing about this game is the story is inherently woke in principal. I just don't get why people are ignoring it. the government are racist, facist, and how they use propaganda to control the masses.
It makes sense that this game has no LGBT symbolism because the government would have taken any political showing to "unite" the world under one super earth banner.
LITERALLY !
You know the old saw from Animal Farm. "All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal than others."
it makes absolutely no sense in helldivers because there is absolutely no sexual dialogue or anything of that nature in the game... the sexuality of anyone in game is never discussed, so how do these idiots know that theyre NOT gay? maybe its one big super gay earth... like if youre gay why is it so hard to just believe that without having to wear a giant fucking rainbow cape...
I love that a simple Steam page noting what SBI has worked on has proven to be a fkn powder keg. They knew that it was going to cost them millions. And then Chris Kindred made it exponentially worse. You love to see it.

Love how they refuse to fire him because they're afraid of being labeled racists and transphobic. Because any working business with a brain would of fired him and issued a statement. But at this point, firing him won't make a difference. Better he and every woke consultant firm go down with their ship.
If they would just ignore it, they wouldn't risk that much, like, about 5k-10k players when they noticed, it was about 300k dollars lost if every single one of gamers back then wouldn't buy a game. Not much lost, couls be easily recovered and noone would notice any changes.
Now we're talking in millions. Still not that much, yet cost of their mistake was suddenly grown exponantionally.
A legitimately great video game: exists
Woke individuals: I'm offended
Raw truth.
Arrowhead is banning bigots from their discord. just saying.
Putting those flags and capes in the game would be an absolute disaster. Trolls would grief and friendly fire people using them. Heck, people would have somebody they know friendly fire themselves just to upload content online for sympathy points. Then game journalists will exploit this to the highest degree
That's a good point. I get griefed sometimes as it is
Ngl i would be griefing because im just tired of these scumbags pushing their garbage onto me leave me the f alone

As a gay guy I don’t want a rainbow cape just as I don’t want any real life symbol.
Also, the game has a serious RP and I love it! The last thing I want is people bringing religion, nationalism, sexuality or whatever to the game!

as response by the comunity
As a black man
When RE5 came out, I was working on a VideoGame store as manager, full schedule.
Not one, not even once, any customer at any moment complained or discussed or debated why black enemies only.
100% of the conversations was about gameplay, differences from previous games, comparissons with Dead Rising or Silent Hill and mainly RE4.
These "journalists" are making shit up, as always.
we know the only and only people bitching about the skin color were this lunatic that wanted to make everything about race
Exactly. It was because one 1 idiot journalist at that time who made a big fuzz over the game and caused unnecessary controversy. Now IGN is bringing it again because “WHY?….”
And Capcom even went as far as to ad Sheva and make half of the Majinis white to balance things out. Journos who resort to cause such meaningless calamity to make a dishonest buck should be fired and sent to an asylum. Smh…

Identifying as anything else but with Super Earth is treason:
Our differences, unless combat wise, don’t matter for we, the people, are unified as one. Separation will only weaken this bond we have with our fellow Helldivers and citizens of Super Earth.
These people went from “inclusion” to “takeover”…..and any type of pushback makes them show their true color
We will have to continue to push back these things like a virus.
They went from "inclusion" to "exclusion" in the blink of an eye: "We don't want your money," the CEO of the gaming consultancy said to gamers / customers.

@@Dragon_Lair That sounds like something a dystopian country tends to do. Starts with a "C", ends with an "A". Lead by a cartoon bear.
@@R_CaineSounds more like one that starts with A, ends with A, has no past, and has less of a future by the day.
The sad truth is they kinda have to protect SBI even if they know they are the ones who caused this whole shitstorm. As Grummz pointed out a lot of high profile gaming companies were suckered into being dependent on pro-wokness funding, because without it they could never put out games of the same scale, so at this point if they don't want their funding taken away they have to protect companies like SBI whether they want to or not, same goes for all the woke game jurno sittes.
The sad truth is most of these companies are forced to either white knight for the woke mob or risk going under and until these ESG funds have any power that will likely not change which is why I think it i so important to vote with our wallets and financially destroy woke games which is why the SBI detected steam group and their curator list is so important. We need to make woke games unprofitable and games like helldivers 2 that reject all that woke bs extremely successful because that will make companies realize that going back to the glory days of gaming where fun gameplay was the goal and not political messaging is gonna be more profitable for them than relying on handouts from funds that want to push a woke message.
The funniest part about GG 2.0 is that it's the same exact nefarious people doing the gaslighting as 10 years ago.

Are you just going around copy and pasting this on every video? Like I agree but get a life bro
Because those people are desperate for manufactured drama in an attempt to stay relevant. The whole SBI situation is a boycott, a consumer movement to express disapproval. The fact they "mistake" it for harassment it's on them and them alone
The only difference is how the people didn’t fell for the same trap as they did a decade ago
They're an ideological cult who cannot accept themselves and so demand validation and acceptance by all but even if they could achieve that, it wouldn't satisfy them as the source of their suffering is based in a spiritual acceptance of lies and a fundamental rejection of the truth which keeps them chained to suffering.
I genuinely feel sorry them because they're spiritually sick and suffering tremendously because they have believed lies at a heart/soul level and thus have become blinded and twisted into a prideful, self righteous, self destructive slave to satan.
It's really sad, they need the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Then and only then will they ever be satisfied.
Look I’m a gay man, and I am 100 percent on the side of keeping this game as it is, it doesn’t need diversity!!! It’s equal and fun as it is it doesn’t need to symbolise anything but a fun experience which it already achieves! So thanks gamers and developers for holding the line. I don’t want to force any agenda.
Most of us just want to be able to walk down street, hold our partners hand without people judging us. Not replace every flag on flag poles with rainbow flags. Besides most LGB persons hate wokeness and using us as a shield to protect open communism. We aren’t for doing that!!!

“You will always find something to be offended over when you want to be offended”
When I see a lesbian, bisexual, or gay, I see another human being who probably has felt the same feelings of betrayal, dismissal, humiliation and rejection I have in my life, and I don’t judge them for it.
I judged based off of someone’s character and treatment of others, and if you’re gay and try to harass others, you’re just as wicked as the straight man who tries to harass others for not sharing his beliefs.
Prejudice is prejudice, and judgment is judgment, but what we can judge without fault is people being unkind towards others since we do have control over that.

I don't think they'd be able to come up with a non-predatory game concept without dabbling in those wOkE ideas.
It's like fiction fans being mad at concepts that aren't realistic. Oil and water, bud 😑

The Helldivers 2 thing hilarious because of what it reminds me of; when babies are told 'no' for the first time. For those who don't know, the event is usually a full on meltdown of screaming, crying, and throwing themselves on the floor to flail around. You know how parents stop that from becoming a habit? By not relenting to what I believe to be the ultimate childish behavior.
IIRC, there's even an old Trojan commercial where this is parodied in a grocery store.
Yeah, they don't know how to take it when soneone says no, therefore they lash out.
I appreciate their commitment to the product as a whole. Woke, anti-woke, they're banning all of them. They don't want 'any' politics bullshi t in their game and kicking out both sides is the best way to keeping most players content.
The Trojan commercial is showing a boy throwing a tantrum and the dad stands there obviously wishing he’d used a condom instead of disciplining his child.
This is extremely ironic considering that SBI was named precisely after this concept (they consider normal gamers to be "spoiled babies who were never told 'no'") 😅
I thought that ad with the child screaming and having a tandrom was ad for some German condom company.
The government responding to this video games controversy is disturbing on so many levels.

@@speedman69420What’s wrong with letting people be, without needing to force upon something that isn’t needed?
I saw something similar with the LGBT community throwing a tantrum about not getting what they want in a game,
It’s called Unicorn overlord and it’s a fantasy game and you play a prince exiled from his home kingdom by evil tyrant yadayadauada but in the game there is this thing called a pact ring, basically whoever is given this ring will have their life forever intertwined with the prince. Naturally this means for every female companion he gives this to it is an engagement ring
However when he gives it to a guy it basically turns the guy into the princes right hand man, first of his guard, personal knight etc. etc
The stink some people were throwing about not being able to propose to the male characters was insane, what was even more insane was the defense people were giving, expectation of taking a queen to carry on the bloodline, royale obligations etc. etc
It was kind of hilarious when I pointed out “hey the prince is not ment to be a self insert in the story, he has his own character and agency in the story, if he doesn’t proposes to any guys it’s probably because he isn’t gay/bi” the meltdown to that was especially hilarious
Damn I am glad I brought that game via preorder
They fail to see no future in their "practice"
So it's okay for white people to be evil but not black people? Gimme a break
I was on the fence about this game as it had been compared to Fire Emblem (I love the series but I'm sick of the waifu simulator aspects in all of them now) but I don't want another dating sim disguised as a tactics game. The main character not just being a player insert this time sounds so refreshing.
Wow that's hilarious and based! Makes me want to play the game even more now (though i'm no rush to play it).
SBI got upset when a list of the games they were involved in was published, therefore they know they have an agenda that is not in the interests of the customers.
@SpunkyStreams we really hope you’re not on that list 😮💨. Don’t worry I think you will still be able to grow a channel no matter how you look. People here seem like they might support you Spunky!! ❤
The only Propaganda I see in Helldivers is
*“DEMOCRACY!!!”*
Let’s keep it that way
Keep in mind you will be reported to the ministry of truth for calling our sweet democracy, quote on quote "Propoganda"
Agreed!!!
Excuse me sir but I'll have you know that everything the ministry of truth says is 100% informative, evidence-based and factually correct at all times, and is in no way meant to be persuasive or coercive in any way.... And that anyone suggesting otherwise is branding themselves a dissident and traitor to super-earth, and will be dealt with accordingly...
Now, would you like to alter/retract your statement, or should I report you to my democracy officer?
Damn, we’ve been getting a lot of Sweetbaby content lately.
Well they’ve giving us more content for us and Endymion. How very kind of them. 😂
Yeah 🤷🏻♂️
They made the stupid mistake of surfacing from the depths! Now corpos will use them as scapegoat
Unfortunately, they are just one head of a hydra.
we're still piling on the dirt in the hole they dug
Amazing video, the alcohol part about Berrit hit me too. Thank you and continue to speak your mind and fight for what's right. I actually teared when you talked Berrit, I'm 52 , played the original ff7 and Berrit was always a favorite of mine.
What's funny is they're so smug and smart asses but everything they touch dies and the one thing that does the opposite of them is thriving. It just shows that they're wrong
They are disgusting vermin. The woke, not the Terminids.
They want to fail. It isn't about sales.
Except by 'everything they touch dies' you mean "suicide squad 2 didn't do great and no one noticed when they did character writing on Alan Wake 2."
The problem is that when they fail they said that its not their fault, is the patriarchy's fault or something like that.
@@guilhermecampos8313 nothing is ever their fault. They are perfect. Just ask them.
Do NOT remove the boulder punching! It is literally referenced in RE Village as an easter egg/joke and I loved it! Chris Redfield is a badass!
Western Game Developer/Publisher "Nobody wants your money, go spend it on Anime Off-brand"
Me: "Jokes on you then, been doing that for more than 15 years now."
And then they call you all the nasty words in the book when you don't buy their stuff
i can't help but smile when I heard that, just proves what i've known for years now, they don't like anime and think its all porn
Whether is the left being jealous or the right thinking its kiddy shit
both sides do not respect it and the boom of japanese entertainment infuriates these people because its lame to them
And i say good, stay away from the things I like, if you don't like it don't infect it
And then they wonder why games like Forspoken, Saint Row reboot etc force studios to close down.🤣
Well, you didn't want our money, remember? Have fun at the unemployment line. 🤣
I think, devs should add LGBT symbolic, claiming that Super Earth is fascist state run by LGBT.
And automatons didn't want LGBT in their lives, so they rebelled.
And then if LGBT still complains, I would remove it entirely - claiming they need to get their shit together and decide which they want. Choice is binary: fascist Super Earth with LGBT at the top, or no LGBT at all.
So sick of wokeness. Words can't even describe how fed up i am with their crap
C’mon HP get creative I believe in you put your feeling about it into words. I’m sure there are many more that are at that same point, myself included.
I agree ! This shit is ruining every form of entertainment we have ! It’s bad enough we have to deal with it in politics and everything else !
Same man
Yeah. Its not even just "mu videogames" though that is a factor, its all demoralizing.
But I swear when I see people go down the woke rabbit hole, one day having no issue with being a man, the next demanding you use "she/her" pronouns to refer to themselves.
Like, this isnt just annoying this is evil, and its hurting people.
Not them, but if I were to "get creative" about describing my disgust towards wokeness, my comment would get automatically deleted by the algorithm.@@Nathan-kv6yu
Every SBI employee and Defender should be documented and put on a blacklist from any creative industry.
Man the woke cant handle rejection. 😂
I count myself as what you probably call a woke, but I don't see the point of representation here either, as it's set in a fictional world with its own rules and laws. We don't even know for sure if our avatars are real people.
@@arianeh.1884 same would apply for starwars but no u guys had to ruin thanks for that
quote the demographic that kills people for rejection
I am a 65 y-o huW. fem. Been gaming for 25 years. I view video games as a way to escape from real-world 💩. I do NOT want CRT, DEI, BLM, etc; in my games. Period.
I rec Mark Dice, Salty Cracker, Raging Dissident on YT and/or Rumble. Exc. content. Naughty language,

REEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee
Crazy how I used to get ridiculed for saying mainstream and wokeness is killing the video game industry and now it's all unfolding.
As a gamer living in Japan and playing pretty much only Japanese games and no online games this whole thing is very surreal to me.
@@makokx7063As a American this is why I mostly only play games from Eastern Europe and Japan these days.
@@makokx7063 same as @DragonKnightX12 most of us western gamers now hate western games and we cant stand them and we do not trust western developers anymore. the only games and media i consume come from the east please do not let this BS happen over there im serious eastern made anime and games are far superior to the garbage we make over here sure the graphics and everything look great over here for our games but they are so loaded with woke propaganda that no one wants to play them. my favorite games from the past couple of years are Elden Ring and Persona 5 bc they dont have that BS in them, and btw they are very well made and prioritize player enjoyment and not the players politics. its sad but america where i live seems to not be a free place to live anymore. i honestly think our country will not last much longer similar things are happening here now that used to happen in Rome before the empire fell and many other dynasties sexual liberation seems to be a theme for countries that are about to fail also diversifying the population seems to be another theme before the downfall of an empire but a lot of ppl here are stupid and they dont realize we are repeating history and all these progressive ideals have been tried before many many times and they always fail and ruin the country. all i want is to be able to watch a show or play a game and not be preached at for how evil they think i am for being white, straight, or male is that really too much to ask?
@@makokx7063Yeah because here in NA videogames are weaponized, it became to a tool to spread a narrative and an agenda. You can see it through our medias too. It's a joke honestly.
@@Drygores1337My heart goes out to you guys. In Japan no one gives a shit about it. People aren't xenophobic or hateful, either. If someone is trans every ones like, "oh, ok". If the transwoman wants to use a woman's bathroom every ones like, "ha ha ha, no".
Big booby women in the comics and video games and dudes doing dope shit.
While at the same time having very deep and meaningful story.
It's great a lot of Japanese stuff reaches a foreign audience but there are still some games that don't make the leap.
12:38 ‘I’m not interested in explaining X to you’….translation: ‘I can’t defend the opinion I have about X and refuse to have it challenged. Accept my opinion as truth’.
I wonder if one of the reasons modern games are so expensive (pushing 70 bucks) is because they are adding so many unnecessary staff like these consulting firms adding to the overall cost of production.
SNES games in the 90s were $50.00. That'd be $118.72 in today's money. Games are cheaper now than ever before.
@@makokx7063 That included a lot of expensive physical stuff that likely added to the price. You can't download a cartridge.
Your work at this topic is very important, thank you Endymion.
That Bungie rep's contempt for gamers is everything wrong with modern Bungie and Destiny 2 in general.
yeah dude, fuck them
Hey, I am an African and we can be villains too.
I can't speak for others but I would love a remake
But a rich white girl in California said that it's offensive to black people, so it must be true.
I just hope if they do, they remove the Mesoamerican (specifically, Toltec) elements from the jungle temple sequence. I don't know much about the kind of ruins you'd find in that region of Africa, but they definitely didn't look like those in Mexico.
Yeah, because you are a normal person and not a Marxist.
I’m sure they’d lose their shit if they saw something like Farcry 2 today lmao
i think it would actually be offensive if the game was in central/west Africa and most of the zombies werent black
The government needs to stay the fuck out of gaming
The government needs to leave the kids and adults alone.
Mostly leave the kids alone
D.I.E. laughs in Marxism.
Wanna bet they'll make a bill banning any non-woke games? They already want to ban any apps they don't like.
Out of everything*
I get so sick of political garbage making its way into video games. I'm there to play a game and have fun, not worry about other people and their opinions. Why can't we all just have fun like in the 90's
I'll be honest If LGBT capes were added the amount of friendly fire "incidents" would go up and my accuracy may stray to those capes and mistake them for a bug.
Oh 100% if the devs backtrack I will lose my faith in arrowhead.
The more of these companies jumping to SBI's defense the better. It gives us more companies to blacklist and boycott and they can watch the ripple effect and keep doubling down until they vanish into obscurity.
Plus, people need to save money these days.. recession and all.. gotta be more picky now that we’re poorer thanks to democracy lol
Let the blackmail that SBI has backfire on them.
If the game industry wants to end up like Disney, so be it.
There's a saying that floats around the main book publishing industry "the years are short but the memories are long". This stuff has been happening in other industries if you do, say or create something that goes against the core accepted narrative you get ex-communicated and ousted from the industry and blacklisted. Now that gaming is the biggest entertainment industry on the planet it's attracting all sorts. Never be shamed into stopping the gatekeeping and keep them out or it's going to spread to every corner of gaming.
It just like JD said back in May at the Cannes Film Festival, and remember what he said “It's a very strange, funny time where everybody would love to be able to be themselves but they can't. They must fall in line with the person in front of them. If you want to live that life, I wish you the best. I'll be on the other side somewhere.”
They are all unique and special snowflakes...that think and act the same.
Joining a cult involves immolating one's self in favor of a ready-made collective identity. This is an "intersectional" cult. You aren't you. You are trans or black or a woman...
"Re 5 needs a black protagonist" sooo... does Sheva just not exist then? Or???? And it's plenty empathetic towards the outbreak, there's even commentary in the game about how horrible it is lol.... do these people even play the games they remake?
No, we all know the joke about game journo difficulty. But that joke is there because it's true.
@Kernom your right, how could I forget...
I'm bisexual but I'm not going to whine to game devs asking them to put a flag, cape, emblem, skin, etc into the game juat so I can feel special. It's ridiculous how people nowadays just want developers to bend the knee and justndo whatever they say becuase if some stubid reason
“They’re used to getting their way.”
Yeah, that’s basically it, they’ve been so pampered for so long it feels like oppression when people don’t kowtow to them.
Super video dude
Thank you for watching!
Dang dude, you covered a lot in this video. I guess we should kinda thank that lawyer guy for just admitting that everything we think is wrong with the industry is true. And thank you too Endymion for helping to shine a light on the truth.
this reminds me of a situation where i wanted my countries flag in a game that had flags ingame for every sexuality that exists, but when i asked for my countries flag i was ridiculed.
Imagine this:
Step 1: Devs lets rainbow capes and trans capes in game.
Step 2: Players that are against woke game ideologies begin to eradicate fellow Helldivers using said capes considering them traitors to super earth
Step 3: A massacre is under way of any and all rain bow cape users.
Step 4: the rainbow cape users cry
Step 5: Devs say: So do you still want this?
Step 6: Weeks pass by and most rainbow cape users leave the game.
Step 7: Rainbow flags are removed due to unintended treatment of fellow helldivers.
Step 8: Some sort of contrversial pc gamer, Kotaku, or other biased article is written of the events.
Step 9: Devs say we warned you.
Step 10: The game thrives more attracting those who want a woke free game.
That would be awesome. With a minor change to step 6, perma ban any players that used the cape, incase they didnt realize during the righteous culling that they are not wanted anywhere.
In the immortal words of Marge Schott..."Well. THERE. YOU! GO!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Adding the capes in the first place would be a step too far for many.
Yeah. Anyone who wants one is somebody we don't want in our community. Everybody is welcome except people who want to change us.
As cool as that would be, it’d be a very risky move adding those capes in the first place.
This was never about money, it's only about control.
Just like Feminism, it was never about "equality". It's about "revenge" against the patriarchy
Real world politics should not be in gaming period.
For the most part it would make sense, but if you take games like grand theft auto, where it’s based on a world like ours. Having it in there makes sense. On a game like helldiver, halo, final fantasy, it is not a coherent story element
there's hundreds of games who's story depends on real-world politics.
@@andrewp9982 Gta is parody and has always been a parody of our world.
Exactly tons of great games include politics lol.@@kyona5422
@@andrewp9982 It doesn't make sense in a game like Dead Space either, but it happened there regardless.
Lol OMG bruh in Super Earth, nobody matters. NOBODY. THERES IS NO FLAGS, YOU DONT HAVE RIGHTS, YOU HAVE NO VOICE
Flags serve one purpose - community division, whether its for a country, or a sports team. Division. Let that sink in.
Yep I agree
Amen
Wrong. The American flag does the exact opposite.
Meh. Nations aren't all created equally. Sports is bread and games. Division, yes. But distraction above all. Flags serve to display alliance and nothing more. It's someone showing you their "tribe" of choice. I don't hate when my enemy wears his heart on his sleeve (literally)
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow It does make it easier to know which way to point the pointy end.
I absolutely LOVE this video! It’s refreshing to FINALLY see that some game studios are pushing back against this woke nonsense. Pandering to an audience that isn’t even there has already cost Disney millions of dollars, and it sounds like, as of recently, their investors are tired of losing money and have now made drastic changes. Hopefully, a similar swing will happen in the gaming industry before it completely collapses.
Thankfully, like many gamers, I have a large backlog of games that have nothing to do with “the message,” so I can just ignore a lot of current generation titles. I will never bend the knee to this agenda, and will always put my money where my mouth is.
Stay strong, everyone! We will eventually turn the tide!
It says a lot that neutrality counts as a win
There are no helldivers demanding this , only traitors of superearth.
Ill never watch any movie or play any game that contains anything woke. They have gone too far. Ill boycott everything. Idgaf
I remember the OG arguments about how "racist" RE5 was back when it wasn't out yet. Race baiters like Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson, one of the two, stated the game is Rayceest, because whyte boy Redfield is running around Africa shooting.... Black people. Never mind Sheva. She didn't exist. RE6 took place in numerous places, like China, and the whole crew killed tons of Chinese. No one cared. Who's the racist ones?
They also ignore Josh Stone.
The Racism Allegations were investigated in the UK and they concluded it's not.
It is true that Most of the "Enemies" are black, but every Villain is white.
So heres the thing about representation for marginalized groups. When everyone is truly equal there doesnt need to be any representation. Thats why there are no flags of any kind except the super earth flag in Helldivers 2.
I came into this video with a biased opinion, but you bring up a very fair point. It's a very controversial subject so I feel the best way to keep player toxicity low, would be to remain completely neutral.
hell we don't need those people in Super Earth. we don't need them in irl too. their usage of psuedoscience to normalize themselves is harming the society.
This was randomly in my feed. Glad I watched it, this puts the issues in a well articulated context.
The only flag cape i need is one of Super Earth, I must spread the word of Democracy while i sip on my Liber-Tea
Have to wonder if the lawyer deleted his posts because either someone pointed out the fact that he essentially admitted to something that could result in him, and any company he worked for, being sued… most likely into the ground.
Either someone pointed that out or his lawyer brain part finally clicked on in a “oh crap!” moment.
Unfortunately for him, the internet is forever.
He may not end up getting sued, but I won’t be surprised if a lawsuit arises out from this and his posts are used as evidence.
Something that took a long time to sink in but is very important for people to remember. People who want to be left alone, will lose more than people who desire to push an agenda because activity trumps passivity. The activists will always be on the offensive looking to be proactive rather than reactive and defensive.
If you want to win this fight you need to be proactive, otherwise you're just dying a death of a thousand cuts.
My opinions are so right and correct that I have to hide them by making my account private BUt iM nOT WrONg!
Christ cant we have one fucking thing that isnt woke? Leave helldivers alone
Its a real mystery why even as a hardcore gamer, I maybe buy one AAA title a year. Mid budgets, older classics and indies are where it's at.
Yes Bro, talk the truth!
totally relatable. last year is the first time in years I bought 2 full priced AAA titles.... 1 was elden ring the other hogwarts.... guess which one I regert the most whaha
I get the feeling we uncovered something far deeper than we could have imagined, but thankfully before they were ready for us.
"But thankfully before they were ready for us". Famous last words.
Heheheheheh, this is merely the tip, of the iceburg.
Oh it's deeper....Just look into the WEF and Blackrock.....And they've been preparing for the better part of 50 years. The "right-wing conspiracy theorists" have been into this crap for awhile, but normies are just now starting to take notice.
We didn't catch them by surprise. There is simply a lot more pushback now than ever.
It's funny that they freak out about the SBI list when they want to get rid of players like us, they should actually be glad about a list that makes players like us steer away from their games, it actually helps them reach their goal.
