Here's one point that people can't be equal. Out of all the vocalists in music history, how many are, or were capable of whistle level octaves? About a handful. People are different with different capabilities. We are not cloned drones. Identity is individually. Diversity is as certain as death and taxes. From race, to gender and nationality, all the way down to various plants, and animals. Diversity isn't a political position. It is existence itself. No one says we all have to love Metallica. No one says we all have to love Justin Bieber, or Machine-gun Kelly. Telling a straight man he has to date a trans woman is not only an invasion of human rights, but it is also sexual harassment. Having white people apologize for anything they are not responsible for is racist. The more emotional you are, the more irrational you become. Use your brain before your heart. Your mind will keep you out of trouble, but your feelings will get you into trouble.
actually the word racism was created by someone who was mad that germans wouldnt let him prostititue his daughters and also invented gender reassignment surgery so he said that racism is when white people dont want their group to be attacked, its perfectly fine when everyone else is racist apparently, so when the left says that you cant be racist towards white people, they are using the definition of the word correctly.
The progression: "There is no DEI. -> There was always DEI. -> DEI is always good. -> You are bad for not supporting DEI. -> We are officially ending DEI (which we initially denied implementing). -> Why are we not trusted anymore?"
As if DEI was a thing back when franchises with diverse characters succeeded, they weren't a thing back then. Interestingly the the most frequent times diverse-castings succeeded was when there wasn't an organization/program that self-proclaimed and preached the word "diversity" every two seconds.
@@DarkstarArchangel What I find interesting is that I was a big fan of female characters when they were written primarily as wish fulfillment fantasies by men. Now that women are mainly written by other women as self-inserts? My interest has dropped off almost completely. Odd, that.
"People in West have asked why no diversity in my games but they are wrong when all my games have included a gay character: you, the player." - Hideo Kojima THIS is why we love the man! 🤣
I saw some discussion of someone saying to "name one game that failed because of wokeness/DEI". People listed some of the stinkers from the last couple of years, however the responses were typically "That game didn't fail because of DEI, it was because the writing/gameplay was bad". What goes over their heads is that the writing/gameplay was bad because they were hiring people based on identity instead of skill, like how Veilguard hired a trans games journalist (known for calling persona 5 and smash bros ablest because they misread a lyric) to be part of the writing process.
"What goes over their heads is that the writing/gameplay was bad because they were hiring people based on identity instead of skill" The thing is it goes beyond that though; we're not just getting a talent pool restriction, DEI actively influences narrative content, & indoctrinates the people it approves into bigotry & victimhood perspectives that basically encourage them to produce absolute slop.
The DEI policies are redirecting priorities towards things people don’t like or care about and it comes at the cost of time and effort and money that can go into the things people want or care about. It’s like when a game releases being an unfinished bug filled mess yet the micro-transactions work perfectly, you know that publishers were meddling with the studio and making the priority to rush the game and get people’s money then making an actually good game.
For those under a rock, or months later. LA is on fire and LA's gay painted fire hydrants have no water with which to fight the fires... And the DEI crowd is blaming the families whose home's are currently burning down, claiming they used too much water... Meanwhile the state has banned the use of water from the ocean, and delivering water from out of state.
For me looking at it, it’s a grift and it always was. Look at all these companies cutting or laying off their DEI departments. Normies now are starting to finally catch on.
That's the cover story, at least; the sleazy 80's Guy selling junk bonds to Japan dyed his hair blue, cut off his dingus, and began selling DEI investment to corporations as the way to expand their marketshare. That now-discredited economic journal study whose name escapes me comes to mind. But the illogic of the whole premise is just a bit too obvious from the outset, the promised benefits were never realized by anyone, this too was obvious almost immediately and has been glaring for years, now. So perhaps the entire market, from top to bottom, all decided to simultaneously beat their companies' dicks with a claw hammer (for about 10 years straight, now) by pure coincidence...or maybe that trillion-plus dollars China allocates each year to ESG investment was used to bribe strategic-level executives into self-destructive business practices in western industries China wished to sabotage and replace? Those companies aren't laying off their DEI departments, the departments' jobs are completed, having installed DEI commissars in every department of those companies for years now. Places like Ubisoft are almost entirely composed of true believers selected by political activists in charge of hiring, or thoroughly demoralized sad-sacks that dutifully obery their woke masters.
Don't sleep on it, it's not gone by any stretch of the imagination. it's anti-fragile...like kudzu. just cause some of the leaves withered, doesn't mean the rhizomes are dug up
Mr. July, you are so good at explaining things. I love the way you think. Great Thomas Sowell quote, the same principle is true of emotional responses, not only governed by the level of maturity in the individual reacting, but the exact same stimuli will elicit different responses in the same person on different days. So how anyone could ever think we should make law based on people's emotional reactions is beyond insane. Leaving us literally making laws based on how insane people react to sane people.
I'm no political focus guy but, confederate states is one of the things we can compare to DEI's. Both of them are literally the same still carrying racism and they're no better than each other. Except Confederate states was more of a segregation and slavery history, still alive nowadays with history and civil war history, ETC. On the other hand DEI is similar to Confederate, However the only thing is segregating white people for multi-race and gender recognization, fat acceptance and anti-racism. It's very ironic which some DEI has white people and they're calling non-DEI people white. Self-hatred is so crazy
Yes yes yes! This is what You needed to do. You needed to transition your content to something else and not just topical news. Topical news is really only viable if you are doing shows or videos 5-7 days a week. Taking clips from your live show that was done four days ago will interest no one, because it’s not in the news cycle anymore. Switching your content to short video essays was definitely the way to go! 💯
Did you notice at the start of the video in BW that the black people wore suits and ties and looked competent and respectful. Fast forward to DEI and black people and minorities are wearing gangsta clothes and are incoherent and incompetent. Something changed. Expectations.
To be honest it's society as a whole. Watching videos from over a hundred years ago and everyone is wearing suits and hats with a newspaper under their arm.
Shills will say this is a “boy who cried wolf” except it’s like “this town used to be overrun by wolves, so we got rid of them so now anytime there’s a wolf we react like there’s a pack of them because wolves are usually in packs.”

DEI DEVIOUSLY ENFORCING INVASION UPON PRIVATE PROPERTY INCLUSION is a word used to coerce you into allowing invasion upon your private property ACCEPTANCE is a word used to coerce you into allowing invasion upon your private property The enemy's end goal is to always invade your private property which is either you, your mind or your intellectual property. Ecclesiasticus 12:10 NEVER TRUST YOUR ENEMY: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness. 11Though your enemy humble himself, and go crouching, yet TAKE GOOD HEED AND BEWARE OF YOUR ENEMY, and you shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and you shalt know that his rust hath NOT been altogether wiped away. 12 SET HIM NOT BY YOU, lest, when he hath overthrown you, HE STAND up IN YOUR PLACE;
The civil rights movement was about human rights, which includes natural rights to life, land, resources and all the benefits inherent in nature that were legally blocked for African Americans by the government itself. That is not simply about "representation". And "representation" does not mean corporations randomly inserting characters of certain skin colors and other characteristics into IPs based on corporate mandates, it is about actually being accurate and faithful to the history and culture of different people in the world. And ultimately "representation" comes from those groups producing their own cultural artifacts and stories and ideas not simply being cut and pasted randomly into someone else's culture and history. And in America, historically this has been about denying and ignoring the fact that African Americans invented much of American pop music culture and degrading them with stereotypes even while celebrating that pop culture. Which also ties into employment rights which only exist because it was the law to discriminate against African Americans in all aspects of employment and economic opportunities. There is no way to claim these companies who promote DEI are actually discriminating against themselves because they aren't being blocked from anything by any other group of people.
It is important to always follow the money. And so, one must always keep the following in mind: IF the DEI "professionals" solve or ameliorate actual racism, their jobs will go away. Soooo.....they will NEVER do so.
This was explained very well in laymens terms. If you can't understand why dei is bad from this video, then you are part of the problem. A majority of people, especially gamers, have had enough. This whole push for dei is destroying the US. I slowly see companies learning people don't want this. Because it is racis just in different terms. It's not about how qualified you are for the position. it's what color is your skin, what is between your legs, and what you identify as. None of that should matter. If you are the most qualified for the position, you should get that position. Not being overlooked and given to someone just because of the dei position. If you are not qualified to fly a plane, you shouldn't be flying a plane with over 100 people in it. If you can not lift and move at least 100 pounds, you shouldn't be a fire fighter. It really is common sense yet some throw it all out the window just so they can make everyone happy. If you are not funny, you shouldn't be a comedian. If you can not sing well or play an instrument at an elite level for a band, you probably shouldn't be in a band. It's so crazy how this isn't common sense.
IF you are allowed to compete of course, seeing as these big global corporations tell other businesses: "We will not do business with you unless you have X of Y."
