How Video Games... "WENT WOKE"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- Video Games are often criticized for having "woke" themes. However, that criticism is often void of deeper analysis, so today I wanted to look at the world of video games, the topic of "ESG" and the way in which the industry might have changed as an effort to secure future investment.
Sweet Baby Incorporated, Blackrock, Vanguard... major publishers and development studios all paying lip service to a set of ideals that really (at the end of the day according to the data we can see) don't mean much to any of them.

BLACKROCK AND ESG.
FOLLOW THE MONEY.
"You have to force change."
- Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock
Sweet Baby Inc. Saints Row Reboot. Forced Mary Jane & Deaf Black Girl who spray paints about Racism sections in a super hero game. "Deep ANALysis" appreciated. But making ESG a bad word and Memeing Budlight into the dumpster is how we make progress. NOISE is why people like you are making a video on it now. Thanks.
why say allegedly when the CEO has admit it in interviews. Normally you make passive aggressive comments about others not doing research and Larry Finks hilariously blatant behaviours he forces have been dutifully documented.
@@Cyael Because they are fence ridding the fence harder than a 🍆
The broken games makes them not worth buying, the 'woke' in games makes them not even worth pirating.
“Game so bad I wouldn’t play it for free” could be a review for most games these days.
I think it was Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I was listening to a review on launch and the guy said "it's £40" and my brain went "it's not enough".
It took me a whole second to realise what had happened, my brain now literally expects a monetary compensation to play AAA garbage. And apparently, £40/h isn't even enough for my brain.
If you were to tell that to my 16 years old self, he'd laugh at you...
@@OkieDokieSmokie
ouch...but so very fucking true. makes me wonder if feminists attacked gaming out of the very real fear that a good game would be far more interesting than they ever could be.
I nominate this, Top Comment.
The problem is that AAA games have been built on storytelling and politically correct stories are inherently bland...
The irony of these hypocrites trying to be all high and mighty and morally-superior while working with the most morally bankrupt companies on the planet...
And right wingers haven't worked with morally bankrupt companies? Haven't right wingers for decades been all about crushing unions, cutting taxes for the elites, offshoring jobs, bringing back child labor, all so the 1% can become even more wealthy? The alt-right backs the fascist Trump and believes his fake populism and right wingers support the GOP that has done nothing BUT drive policies leading to historic inequality. Corporate servicing Democrats have done the same thing, and when movements like Occupy Wall Street fought against that in the Democratic Party AND the Republican party did right wingers join us on the streets to fight the elites? No, they did not. So spare us, okay?
There is a moral superiority against the fascist movement of racists, misogynists, and bigots led by Trump in this country. Trump and his circle wouldn't spend 5 minutes with any one of his supporters that wasn't also a super wealthy elite, but Trump supporters are too blind to that fact, and he scams them relentlessly with his constant lies.
@@flickwtchr lol, Trump cultist in 2024. You're 8 years late, mate. Trump was the best president America had in the last 40 years or so.
Yeah. I dont know how people are fooled into thinking that companies actually support any of this stuff. They dont care one way or the other they just want money and ESG seems to be more profitable than actually making decent games.
@@Yipper64 We are on a distopia thanks to people illiteracy and selfishness, we need to change common people culture, quality of education above everything.
@@Yipper64A shame that identity politics is the easiest among esg points and gives the most clout
"we believe that representation is key to connecting players and audiences"
No the key is to make a good fucking game. You let representation happen naturally.
Given the amount of alienation they've generated by going in this direction, I'd say it produces the opposite effect.
Imagine saying you're against marginalizing groups while marginalizing a group.
Note that players and audiences are weparate in their mind.
@@unnamed715ironic
Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive. Case in point, Baldur's Gate 3.
That's what I've felt for years. Using marginalised groups as check boxes. Tokenism. It feels dishonest, and sometimes you can see it clearly when the writing seems very shoe horned. Hearing they're doing it literally for profit just makes it far worse than virtue signalling. It's a disrespect to the groups they're pretending to care about.
This is definitely it. You can just FEEL the insincerity in it all. Go back and watch a "diverse" movie like The Warriors. Somehow the characters feel natural and they all fit in the world. You can tell the cast wasn't diverse just to check a bunch of boxes but because it fit with the story they wanted to tell. Hell even Demolition Man. Wesley Snipes was the bad guy. Now a days a black actor can't even play a morally ambiguous character, let alone play a villain. A woman can never be portrayed as vulnerable or even as having emotions.
It makes all media feel like it's completely disconnected from reality and it's just so obvious the entire story is to push an agenda rather than to tell a good story.
They basically use the color of their skin for their own benefit. "Hey look, we put a black character, but we don't care much if he's a good or bad character, we just put him in because his skin color is the same as yours and you'll feel identified." Thinking that a person is going to support a product just because they see characters with the same physical features as them, without taking into account the story, the narrative, the quality, is... quite racist. It is thinking that the African American community is basic and easily manipulated.
@@user-en7ll3og6c there's a nuance to it. It used to be they wanted to cast white actors because they didn't believe minority actors could sell. It's always been political that way. That's why there was white washing back then. In my home country in Malaysia, we also have a very, very strong racial distinction when it comes to marketing for a specific race. But the identity dynamics/politics in the US can be a different kind of bizarre.
It just so happens that diversity (and outrage) has also become profitable. So it's a mix of a lot of things. There's those being genuine, and there's exploiters. The end result I assume is almost always about business, less so about social change or engineering.
I've said it over and over for the past few years and not enough people hear me. Corporations do NOT care about you as a human being. You are a life support system for a wallet. If they claim to care its because thats how their marketing team saw a way to make even more money off you. They lie. They lie constantly. If they "go woke" its not because they care, its because some analyst said thats what other successful companies do to increase profits and be more competitive. In real life it doesn't work so well. Disney is losing money. The company that made the new Saints Row was shut down. And the truly woke crowd can see what you are doing and won't fall for it.
@@thesidneychanprofitable how?
Never forget neil druckman fired amy hennig, the absolute legend that made our boy nathan drake, she didn't like politics and wanted to keep them out of uncharted 4, that is what got her fired. These people claim they fight for things like "womens voices to be heard." Then, the moment they try to have any artistic integrity, they give them the boot. These people are despicable
We are far beyond complaining about their hypocrisy, lies and actions. The question is: What are we going to do about it? "Nothing" hasn't worked out very well.
"You have to force change."
- Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock
I'm old enough to remember she was behind the amazing stories of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and it's sequels.
She'll always be remembered as a legend of her craft to me.
Screw Neil, that guy can't write, the only thing he does is take other people's credit and self inserts himself into games.
I think I remember hearing he invited Anita Sarkasian (the hyper feminist moron) in and that screwed everything up (my memory is pretty bad though)
can people finally wake up and realize conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts for the future?
Neil Druckman graped his own game - Last of us to the fullest. What regards will he have for anyone elses?
Anyone called Sweet Baby Inc. should have their hard drives checked.
Probably gonna get named on "the List."
You likely won't even have to dig that deep to find something horrible. 😂
That’s the thing, they always tell you who they are in their names, logos ect. Research the name of bill mahers production company… kid love productions…
Anyone who hears the words "Sweet Baby" and thinks it refers to infants should their hard drives checked.
@@KYSMO ignorance must be bliss eh?
This is just fucking nuts. If you'd have told someone 15 years ago, that this is where the gaming industry will end up eventually, they'd probably have thought that you're insane. But here we are. This feels like a dystopian nightmare, seriously.
For real. Prices are high for everything, AAA gaming sucks, rent high af, wokeness. Feels like a long dream. Thank God for indie games though.
@@benpoke Not even indies will be free of this though. Particularly games aimed towards women, unfortunately. I'm a big fan of the sims, and am looking forward to paralives, since the sims 4 is a mess. But even paralives won't have a male/female distinction when you go in to create a character. I'm sure there will be more issues, but am hoping it's so little, that I can just ignore it. Simulations are being killed by this kind of garbage, though. Just dropped Rune Factory 5 yesterday after having the gey constantly shoved down my throat, like I'm stuck in a town full of lesbians and can't befriend any females without them hitting on you or being forced into "romance events" with them. No thanks.
To counter Sweet Baby Inc, I’m going to start a company called Sour Senior Inc.
Sour Senior’s purpose will be to work with TV Networks and Streaming services that provide content mainly to the female audience.
Its purpose will be to try and curtail the male beauty and masculinity standards that women have towards men.
Instead of Ryan Gosling ladies you’ll get Michael Cera in the leading role as the main love interest. Instead of Idris Elba you’ll get Justice Smith. Instead of Channing Tatum you’ll get once again, Michael Cera. Sure they’ll lose money and cancel programs but it’s all about….THE MESSAGE.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 genius‼️💪🏾💪🏾
Bitter sounds better
@@dylan8736 Actually I’m going to call it Crack Baby Inc
Do you need a VP? I’m 45 and as cranky as a man can be - I’m more than happy to spread as much “toxic masculinity” as humanly possible because there’s not a single thing wrong with traditional masculinity.
No, it has to be "Bitter Senior LTD".
The black rock ceo outright said he’s “forcing behavior”. This is why large game developers will continue to fail and go to ruin like most media is doing because of this EXACT issue.
He doesn't want you to play games. You should work. Hedge funds want your money you put away for your retirement plan.
Enforced moralism should be illegal....
On the bright side, that means Black Rock is willingly losing money. Let them implode while indies rise and replace them.
@@RemusKingOfRome It is, it's against the 1st-Amendment.
@@johannderjager4146 Then why are we drowning in it, since the 60s ??
Whenever I hear modern audiences and diversity when someone describes their game I avoid it like the plague.
I agree. BG3 is shit and woke gone broke and those hundreds of thousands people enjoying it are just delusional. Diversity is bad.
As do most customers.. if the only thing you have to talk about for your game are those two... your game is shit
Doesn’t matter if they control the only narrative just like vax’s, Covid, J6, and climate change. A good majority or the more of People will still buy it and believe it as true

Jeez
I fell like people don't fully appreciate how scary this is. Select entities being able to push an agenda on an entire industry without anyone knowing, is just... chilling.
cod mw already did it to normalize usa war in middle east (u.s. military finance them like they did with war movies like og Top gun), i tough that was the pinnacle of propaganda boy i was wrong, now we even attack ourselves i guess is karma to not have stopped them
Do you know what’s even more scary? (for the companies, not for us) is how quickly a fan base can spread the word on what’s happening behind the scenes and start a trend to boycott a franchise when it starts going in a direction they’re not happy with.
"push an agenda on an entire industry"
It's all industries. Blackrock/Vanguard are doing this with practically everything. Look into it.
Do we even know if that's the case or not? We really have no actual way of knowing that. All we can do is speculate
Blackrock and vanguard are essentially the same company at this point.
A snake with two heads
Duopolies work together to keep out any competition.
They're all tied to WEF. Where do you think they got that astronomical ammount of money to pass around?
@@LastSecBloomer Most of it is just people's retirement and investment accounts
They always the same company, they own eachother
This sounds like a corporate social credit system. That seems to be the push for the future
Only if people allow it and people have been proven to be pretty fuking stupid, so it's not looking good.
But it's just a conspiracy theory, right?
@@zz3OPEN that's what we all thought
@@zz3OPENNot anymore, from now on it's spoilers for real life
And this is why this rat must be stopped.
I do think it's funny that Sweet Baby said their contributions are meant to be additive not corrective but then they race swap Finnish and Nordic characters
Let's not forget: Blackrock owns part of Vanguard owns part of State Street owns part of Blackrock.
Larry Fink recently admitted to massive losses due to ESG scores. I think they are going to roll it back, rebrand, and try again. Same dish different flavor.
Aka DEI
They'll probably drop the environmental stuff (costly but worth the effort) but keep the woke (cheap virtue signalling)
All that matters is the interest rate. The Fed kept rates near zero for over a decade, so it was effectively an infinite well of free money, since the borrowing cost was almost nothing. Now borrowing money is actually expensive and all this ESG pullback is occurring. It's not a coincidence or correlation, it's a direct cause and effect. So while we may want to take a victory lap, this "win" will evaporate as soon as the Fed decides that want to prop up the stock market again.
DEI is about to get phased out.
None of it matters when the FED itself is pushing DIEversity etc. and they generate the very global currency that goes into supply
I used to spend thousands on games and movies. I no longer buy movies and buy maybe 6 games a year on sale. Those games are mostly indie titles.
Same here, I used to play games all the time and enjoy them tremendously. Same with movies. Now I go to the theater maybe once every few years and buy movies even less often than that. My game library is chock-full of unplayed games so I could never buy a new game again and play for the next decade or more. Industry of entertainment is in the toilet... luckily all the old games and movies are on disk or directly downloaded onto my hard drive.
Same. But the main issue isn't "wokeism". It's that AAA games just suck and just recycle old concepts ad nauseam (or are games as a service).
I bought more games as a young adult/teen than I do as an older person. Still a gamer, just they don't make anything really worth buying. Theres 6 months of pay to beta test and then they are just done with the game. They move on to the next thing that will make them more money, besides the micro transactions in the previous game.
I think we need a service where gamers can pay developers directly. And I am not talking about the whole studio but rather a couple of artists. Like linking their patreon to the service and do a background check. If there is no woke-shit tweets or retarded statements on an interview then it's good to go.
Screw publishers and investors
@citizenoftrone6570 it would be nice, I mean some indy devs do stuff like that I think. Can't think of any off the top of my head but I'm not sure it always works out though
Time to bump this vid back into people’s recommended feed. Bump.
Count me in
You know what's really funny, and kind of proves your research? I just watched a discussion between Jordan Peterson and Terrence Keeley, a Black Rock executive. He spoke at length about how these ESG standards came to be, how Black Rock encouraged them, *and why he thinks they need to be abandoned altogether!* He essentially described what all of us have been saying about this style of checkbox social activism. Maybe we're going to see a shift in the near future. Maybe we'll get good story telling back.
ESG and DEI in gaming is the BEST DRM they've ever came out with, i mean Denuvo gets cracked in a week but make a game not worth pirating? That's some big brain 4D chess right there!
🤣 That's a funny way to look at it, I like that!
We don’t want people to pirate game so we will make it woke so nobody buys it and pirate it! It’s big brain time 🧠
@@SLRModShop Honestly i don't even consider new game piracy anymore, i just go back to the ENDLESS depths of retro content that is still as fun as day one to play. I don't even buy modern hardware because everything i WANT to play can run on a decade old potato.
I sometimes go as far back as emulating Coleco when i want a simple 'mobile' quality time waster game without all the "BUY THIS" bullshit of mobile gaming. Just run 'Looping' on an emulator and you have something simple, fun but challenging to play on the bus, toilet, or bus toilet that doesn't require loot boxes, daily logins, and 3 different in game currencies lol. Or just go play OG Battletoads, that'll be a good game forever.
@@rustymustard7798 I wouldn't go that far personally. There's still plenty of amazing games coming out (especially in the Indie scene). But I understand why people like you have made such a decision. Most AAA studios don't even make games anymore anyways. They instead make Live Services which are just non-mobile mobile games.
Quite unique way to look at it lmao
They make way more money from Blackrock than they EVER would from the everyday Consumer. That's what this is all about. The message is more important than the fanbase.

Makes sense. If you think American progressives are bad, wait until you see Canadian progressives, they are far more radical.
I think the point here was pointing to the practises of the canadian government recently 🤔🤔🤔
It's all lip service and woke-washing, but it actually affects the quality of the end product, hence why people are pissed. We live in a society where looking good is more important than being good and that's the true cancer.
Well said. Lip gloss and makeup only cover imperfections, they don't make them go away. The rot is deep in many game publishers, but the wrapper is as shiny as ever.
Lipstick on a pig is still a pig 😂
It's not even good-looking stuff though. Some of the characters they create are abominations.
Word!
Can I have an example of this happening?
Despite what one thinks about woke and progressive ideals in games, I think everyone would have to agree that an unknow company like SweetBaby inc that has as it's primary clients some of the biggest players in the industry (and no one knew about them before last year) with the sole purpose of adding certain moral ideals into games is incredibly fishy and sounds like it's a conspiracy theory, and yet it is 100% true
Also, scary idea, our politics might've been influenced by corporate greed. I'm a rather left leaning person with anti-corporate ideals, so naturally I am inclined to consume the kind of media that empathizes with that, reinforcing those ideologies, effectively making me a slave to the system.
@@QuiteSpiffingSee that's what I really don't understand as someone who used to be considered a centrist but is now apparently a right-winger according to the fucking internet the people that have been most pro corporation in my personal life have all been left-leaning progressives which does not make fucking sense to me.

Yeah, the company grew WAY too fast in just 5 years or so.
I appreciate the information in this video but there’s still a big elephant in the room. If the root cause of these companies being woke is trying to secure investment funds, the question becomes What is the motivation for major investment firms like Blackrock and Vanguard to require companies to be woke.
"Enforce change"
Sheep are easier to control
Because it's much more easier to change society in their eyes through the "private" sector, than the public because of the insane amount of beaucracy when trying to change and do legislation. While doing it through publicly-traded companies is a lot easier.
To keep sowing dissent among the working class. Culture War instead of Class War.
They have infinite money, so it's about influencing kids and culture is downstream from the media people are exposed to. Every facet must have "the message".

@@Accuracy158yep, it’s in literally everything
There's an additional facet to this story: Due to years of US interest rates being nearly zero, many companies were operating purely on investment capital, not from revenue (called a "zombie company").
The ESG scam seems to have grown alongside that trend, possibly as a means of hiding the insolvency of these zombie companies. This screams textbook "financial bubble", if I ever saw it.
It's also interesting this seemed to start right after the recession in 2008, as though corrupt investment firms needed a new industry to screw over after they tanked the housing market, like locusts moving from one field to the next.
Just glad more people are getting aware of how this ball rolls. Same thing happening with the movie industry, gotta get dem high ESG scores,
i think it will end as a bubble for the entertrainment industry and lots of companies will end bankrupt some day, they are prioritizing investments and ESG scores over their actual consumers. Gamers are just dumb and they don't know the power their wallets hold over the games they play and they live in a buy, complain and then buy the sequel cycle, but some day those companies will lose investments because they have no consumers anymore and that means no revenue, no growth potential and no investments...
@@gab4198 In a way it reminds me of the 2008 financial crisis. You had banks wanting more mortgages from smaller banks so they could make more mortgage backed securities to sell because they were making bank on it. They didn't care if the mortgages were subprime or B rated when they were tossing them all into AAA rated securities, aka guarantees to not default.
Then you had the adjustable rate loans that had reasonable monthly payments for a few years, then they went up exponentially once the adjustable rate kicked in.
But these ESG scores in gaming and the entertainment industry reminds me of 2008 because the sellers (banks, video game companies, production companies etc) have forgotten that the customer is the core part of their business. We have game studios chasing investments, ESG scores, and numbers on spreadsheets instead of looking at actual player/customer engagement.
Then when these game studios have a game that performs bad they can't fathom why. It HAS to be the customer that's wrong. I mean, they're ESG compliant, and have 1.69 gay characters for every straight character, what more could a customer possibly want??
"Corporate Governance" is a terrifying phrase.
It is. The Corporations and Government have gotten WAY to cozy with each other. Same with Government and Social Media Companies have gotten a cozy relationship with each other to squash political dissent with censorship. And the SCOTUSs needs to put an end to it. Cause Government using Corporations as a middle man to push censorship on anyone Governments don’t like is still a complete violation of the 1st Amendment.
The constant use of acronyms really does disconnect us from the true meaning of words.
The other is "public-private partnerships" this is what authoritarians love to have.
Isn't it funny how the people calling everyone "fascist", are in fact fascists themselves? On that note all the other accusations they like to make are projection as well.
"I'm from corporate governance and I'm here to help"
The solution to all of this has been the same for years: play indie games, if it's political propaganda, refund it and write a negative review mentioning it to keep others from accidentally supporting it, and never pre-order anything.
Always remember, these corporations and investment companies will always cry harassment when the focus is on their own actions and how they have ruined franchises.
Yet they have no problems smearing their own consumers when gamers don't buy their latest games.
The fact that this company is called “Sweet Baby”... The jokes write themselves.
It sounds like a psyop created by Matt "Sweet Baby Gang" Walsh, tbh.
He's the only person I've seen try to make "Sweet Baby ____" a thing in any capacity
Probably ran by Epstein clients.

Probably because pandering Incorporated is too on the nose and just doesn't have the same ring to it.

@@TwistedTammer amen
Most of the games published this year, especially big-shots like Baldur's Gate III, Starfield, have been afraid to put the word "gender" in their game. What the fuck is body type? They truly lost their minds.
Wooow, smh.
60% of gamers claim that self-expression through gaming is “more important to them than ever before,” via titles including “Minecraft,” “Fortnite” and “Roblox” that allow for personal expression through “extensive customization options, open-world exploration, and other game updates.
Looks like The Sweet Baby Inc ship is finally sinking.
I doubt it. Have U seen how much connections with BlackRock they have?! They will outlive your grand grand children (assuming U will have any)
Anita still consults, but people think she's down and out because FF kicked the bucket.
The most important thing to note: You cannot "hunt" for ESG, while also being primarily concerned with PROFIT like a company ought to be.
Remember that the next time someone tells you "oh they don't really believe any of this stuff, they just want money". Yeah. While doing the most divisive, and wasteful business strategies ever conceived. Like a College kid with a Credit Card maxed out. lol
ESG is designed for companies who want to sell their political beliefs in spite of the profit. If they diddnt believe in it then they woulddnt need ESG to be profitable.
i dont think pushing morality you dont even believe in for the sake of profits is a good thing either lol so thats a pretty pathetic defense even if it was true
@@eliaspanayi3465 Well, it's not. Not on the long term.
Look at Disney.
ESG is designed to bypass normal ways of getting profit. You don't need to sell a single copy of your woke game because daddy Blackrock will keep your company afloat as long as you tick the DEI boxes.
Why are they all "concerned" with exactly the same thing?
We were dumb enough to believe the ideologues when they told us gatekeeping was bad.
The end.
No... the ideologues are useful idiots who believe politicians will "really do it this time!". 'Gatekeeping' is just them bellyaching about meritocracy, facts, reality, you know... all the things they're at odds with.
If you ever believed gamergate had merit, you are not terribly bright, I will grant you that.
Gatekeeping is for sad pathetic losers that fear that they get driven out of their so called created safe spaces.
Gatekeeping wouldnt have saved anything though; this isnt as much a problem of IPs going mainstream but moreso a problem that the creative powers at be are all butt buddies with the same group of idiots as the rest who believe they for whatever reason have the right to enforce their own manufactured cultural norms
Further back, we were also dumb enough to believe the slippery slope argument was a logical fallacy. It's neither a formal nor informal fallacy, just an argument toward projected outcomes based on pattern recognition.

They shoehorned it into SpiderMan2. Felt so forced, ungenuine and out of place.

You finally did it, you madman.
You covered Sweet Baby and the damage it's doing to the gaming industry.
I have a small violin to play for the destruction of the games industry
ESG sounds like that Fair Trade Coffee and Fair Trade Chocolate scam; is Sweet Baby made out of chocolate and coffee ?
He's only years late and still only scratching the surface, but sure....
You didn't even watch the full video. Sweet Baby is not the core of the problem here, unlike so many people think nowadays. They are simply benefiting from the demand in the market to hire leftist consultants in video game development.
Sweet Baby Inc is part of the problem, but the one that is truly destroying the industry is this whole ESG system enforced by Vanguard and Blackrock.
Lets not forget that the logo uses a known pedophile symbol as released by the FBI on a baby.
The ESG model is almost predetermined to fail if only for the fact that regardless of its intention or even if the postions advocated for are agreeable to all consumers. It creates a homogeneous and repetitive series of products. Variety is necessary in the marketplace so that the most products and companies can florish. If everything is the same why would i shop at multiple places and buy multiple things. ESG creates an environment for artistic sludge to be served to the masses and eventually will destroy all companies until theres only one place to buy from
it's not "allegedly". The CEO of blackrock has said many times on camera the items listed that factor into the ESG score. And he said that the time ahs come for him to FORCE this garbage into our media
“Sweet Baby is merely profiting off a general demand for [wokeness].”
Yeah no. There is no “general demand” for progressive ideology in gaming right now. The general population is not demanding this. Only fringe groups online and investors with larger goals in mind.
Its the same thing Anita Sarkesian was doing. So there is a demand for morons in the buisness, but the customers dont realy like it.
Being fair, he's talking about the demands of the woke investment companies, not the players.
I'm going to guess it's about going for the pension funds. Retirees really are only concerned with collecting dividends.
Blackrock's risk-manager program 'Aladdin' has an extra variable that prioritizes stocks with higher ESG scores.
And the giant stock companies that have more money than sense.
Go to universities and other hotspots of these weirdos and you suddenly find their target demographic.
This is not companies following a trend, it's corporations forcing a cultural change. The real question is to what end?
It's just what they think makes money right now. When they feel like the well is drying up, they'll move on from it.
Seize the means of cultural production.
The end is the Gluttonous Consumer. The money keep flowing away from the wallet, and the information they thought they were paying for contribute to nothing in real life. Wall-E predicted this, might as well watch it again.
Perversion and subversion. They want to destroy all religions but their own (The most perverse and corrupt cult on Earth). They want to rewrite history. They want to force you all to adopt cybornetics in your bodies. They want to put AI (The Beast) in control. They want to take all the farmland so they can starve you. This cult is actively trying their best to end the world... That is the endgame. They want Armageddon. They want to fight "the DemIUrGe". Basically, they want you to join their religious war on God. That is what all of this is about.

Make the media all targeted on one subject and you can brainwash the younger generation, (even naive adults) who have no idea of different, quality types of media, and you can make a cultural revolution hard to revert for decades.
The aim will always be to psychologically trap people into accepting something that will shape a person's priorities and values
The Rockefeller Family has done that before by influencing Americans to hate black people. All of their generations have dedicated themselves to "change the course of humanity" through psy-op tactics. Except now they have the aid of politicians by corrupting them with money that not only makes them do what millionaires want, but also as black-mail in case they come out to society with their mistakes.
They are essentially a mafia except internationally. And, much like the Chinese mafia and the previous case of JFK, if their servants step out of line, their lives are in danger. The servants all end up being scapegoats in the end. That is how they keep themselves afloat and without scratches.
This is the problem with videogame companies being publicly traded, they have to please investors by showing perpetual profit growth. There are two primary ways to do that, one is through micro transactions and expansions, the second is by making the game reach a wider number of players, this results in more shallow games with more diversity.
A game can hit a lot of social boxes and still be good but that usually comes from studios who still value art rather than profit.
This just makes me cherish gaming in my childhood even more (90s through early 2000s).Back then, games came out finished, a lot of them had originality, no micro-transactions, no pay to play, and no plolitical agendas. I could play games to eacape the world for a few hours a day.
"We are going to re-write your game story and narrative and you will not change it"
This whole notion of main characters having to look like you for you to enjoy the entertainment they're featured in is itself racist and narcissistic.
Not once did I ever pick up a game and drop it or keep it from being one of my favorites because the main character isn't black.
Exactly, couldn't have said it any better
I agree.
You know the wokies will call you a far right extremist now...
I feel it should be possible in say a RPG where you have a character creator. That is why I would say a game like Fallout is a better RPG than Mass Effect as you have more options for how your character looks.
I'm white as a sheet and most of my favorite characters either wear an outfit or a piece of armor the entire time not showing any skin, they're not white, or they aren't even human. I never ever really paid attention to how many straight white male characters I played as in video games, I just thought they were really cool and badass and I agreed with their ideals. Their skin color was never once relevant at all.
Well thought out video with great research, this was a great watch. It also reinforced my opinion on ESG and what it has done to gaming and future games like gta 6, call of duty and battelfield.
A lot of people like to pretend this isn't happening, I think GTA VI is going to open a lot of eyes. It's one of the few big games that the majority of gamers are actually looking forward to, and they're absolutely not prepared for how drastic of a change it's going to be for the franchise. Much like Suicide Squad, as beloved studios release their next games, people are going to realize that the actual developers who's work they loved are now long gone
GTA 6 better not be woke. 🤮
Who could have thought hiring a bunch of consultants to improve your business could actually put you on a path towards going out of business.
Disney: Shocking face
The fact that "consultants" are a career that earn hundreds of thousands of dollars to essentially convince your company they know how it could be run better has to be one of the biggest scams of the 21st century.
So companies are simply adapting to the investor demands for ESG scores to secure funding. But the question still remains where are these demands originating from? The majority of Blackrock and Vanguard is held by a handful of powerful families as far as I'm aware. Are they just trying to push their political believes on the world? Are they profiting from the ESG system? How and why did it come about? Are they creating this shift in culture or are they adapting to it?
The founders are all jews. That's your answer.
I wonder some families are part of the Rothschilds.
They're putting insane amounts of money into forcing culture change. They're not adapting to it. They're artificially creating it. That's why no one likes it. They're not making any money off of it. They have so much money, they can write it off as losses.
I wonder how many of those elite individuals at the top of Blackrock and Vanguard are democrat voters/lobbyists. If so, they've clearly found a way to tap into pop culture and infect it with extreme left politics, all so they can control the masses. Am I having a tin foil hat moment?
They are the cause in the shift in culture. It might be because they're offended. It may not matter that they profit from the ESG system because they can make up for the losses in other ways, and they probably have no rivals because they're financially dominant in the world and in complete control, they can't lose. It's not about political beliefs, it's about political ambitions. I think it's also about spitefulness, but actually, it's about fear. They fear us. The internet has revealed many of their secrets. They're losing control of the narrative which keeps us under their control.
I was hoping this went a little further than

The quickest way to turn me off if a game, show, or movie says it's made "for a modern audience". That pretty much 💯 guarantees they sacrifice the story to just check boxes
The problem in media forms in general is constant throughout.
There may be slight alterations based on the monetization models, but generally it always is something along the lines of "lore not adhered to", "entire plot points and characters redesigned for DEI and ESG scores", "gameplay almost nonexistent because political message is more important", and "start with beloved series because we know our ideas are terrible and will never have a chance unless we destroy the franchises that will be used popularly against us".
I'm telling you as a former Hollywood Network Executive, games, music, videos of all formats, the problems with "woke" and "dei" are the same generally throughout these mediums because the people at the top all know each other, F each other, are intermarried probably somehow by way of 2nd cousins or farther, and plan generations ahead.
What culture at large has to do is stop reacting years after its too late and massive amounts of franchises are destroyed. People were calling out "woke nonsense" back in 2013-2014 and were getting reamed with claims like "not enough evidence". By the time we got enough evidence to convince the masses, we were here in the 2020s already.
Those of us with the inside knowledge and access are never believed in time. Even now, I'm trying to warn people of what is happening now because they won't believe me on things happening now until the 2030s at earliest.

Ive been complaining about this shit since back then but back then if you rightfully pointed out the idiocy you were a "misogynist" or something else bigoted even if your specific complaint had nothing to do with a woman or minority etc. Theyve been battling this by silencing criticism with slander yet somehow only now people are catching on?

I was reading a comic from 2014 and I stopped after the second chapter because it went so woke that ended up back in sexist... patriarchy, "man can't do anything" and they were the heroes ffs. yes in the grand scheme of the chapters they were small things but the way the presented their thought process made the tone of the beginning of the story. the fact that the late half of the second chapter is about a guy firing into a procession of woman doesn't help. I would have accepted that in later chapters but how the story was going it didn't help to change the tone that I feel from it.
Ah 2014-2015... I remember when sjw called it a slipperly slope "fallacy" lmao
I had friends back during the Disney takeover of star wars. I told them it was going to ruin the franchise. That the erasure of the EU showed a massive disregard for a pre-existing setting with established characters and lore, and that Disney would never be able to offer anything of comparable value. They said I was overreacting. Eventually they called me misogynistic, homophobic, racist, and bigoted. Obviously I fell out of contact with them. But I'd looooove to see them now and ask what they think about Disney Star Wars now
Spot on. We tried to warn people about this back in 2016 but were laughed at. Sweet Baby isn't even the only one doing this. Before them, there was Silverstring Media and Square Enix's Ethics Department doing the same thing. Honestly I feel like all the controversies of around 2016 were just an attempt to popularize the idea of hiring companies like Sweet Baby so people with useless degrees could get jobs of being professional Karens.
I am SPECIFICALLY reminded of a little article called "Tabletop Gaming has a White Male Terrorist Problem" that was circulated a few years back. Apparently the article combined multiple Facebook and LiveJournal tabletop gaming horror stories from multiple women and claimed they all happened to a single woman who then sent this article to a company and their response was "That's terrible! I'm sorry you had a bad time but...what do you want US to do about it?" and her response was "Hire me and make me the Women's Ambassador to Gaming, if you don't I'll spread this around" and the rest is history. I feel like she likely wasn't the only one using these tactics.

I think it's easy to hyper-fixate on the woke aspect of this story, but it's bigger than that. If BlackRock used a method of gauging investment risk with a metric we'll call CSF or the Cookie Score Fundamentals. And that metric were measuring employee cookie preferences, whether or not there is diverse enjoyment of wide ranges of types of cookies, company bake-off events, in-house recipes, and the number of grandmas employed for on-demand cookie baking. That would be a horrible metric.
That's the point. The metric they are using to measure the investment risk of a company doesn't actually measure the risk, it incentivizes pandering, and they can't even hold up to their ideals as demonstrated with the gambling requirements.
As much as I would love companies to start running on metrics that benefit me personally (because my homemade cookies are amazing); I can't deny it would be bad for the investors and the companies to be judged on something so superficial.
Just make a good game. You can have more inclusive characters like Baldur’s Gate 3. But it wouldn’t add anything to the story or would actually take from it if there were more diverse characters in a game like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. And both games won Game of the Year and sold insanely well.
