Game looks cool. Watched a couple of reviews. Now youtube is recommending me rage-baiting gaming weirdos whining about DEI and attacking a reviewer for saying it isn't diverse enough.
And then the developers have this clause reviewers have to agree to get a review copy of the game:
So chuds are championing the game now for being anti-woke?
But not all people had to agree to the clause, just some people? And it's from a marketing partner working with the developer? And the developer may or may not be run by sexist creeps according to internet rumors?
suggestive recruitment ads ran by the devs
Google translate text:
Don't mess with colleagues
In addition to sex partners, we found that many of the previous benefits only looked good. But here, we have more thoughtful services that will make you cry, whether it is meal allowance, car allowance, unlimited taxi reimbursement, or unlimited ZESPRI kiwifruit or KIRKLAND nuts.
Forced self-pleasure
You can easily say "play your own games more" and then turn around to play five-player mid, and you may also make money. But here, we require you to experience the products you develop seriously, and there is no room for compromise.
Fat man die
Reminding employees to pay attention to their health and providing free physical examinations still cannot prevent colleagues from dying from overwork.
But here,
We can go to the gym, run or swim during working hours without anyone's approval, and all expenses are borne by the company.
Must work overtime
We have never concealed the fact that overtime is a cancer in our industry, but here,
-
We can sleep until we wake up naturally, have lunch and then come to work;
-
After the project is launched, we will have transparent project profit-sharing bonuses every month.
<-- this but unironically
I know none of this matters, and I spent way more mental energy writing this stupid post than any of this deserves. I was expecting dumb backlash to the game just because it's from China, but this is far stupider than I expected.
Fuck youtube for giving the most awful reactionary gamergate losers a career and promoting them every fucking chance they get. Whenever they attach themselves to a cultural object this bullshit starts popping up like a flea infestation.
Fucking gamers.
responding to "you misused a word in a way that is lowkey racist" with "I know and did it anyway, but I stand by what I said and you all are revisionist for disagreeing with my takes" is certainly a strat.
"Weeb" is about a group of consumers, not any specific ethnic group in that group of consumers. This is a reach, even for you so far.
Let me restate the first thing I said, in light of your current enraged hyperbole:
What you're doing right now is definitely adding to my desire not to hear about it again. Seems toxic fandom for it doesn't just come from one direction.
