Contradiction makes zero sense as a response - feel free to try again!

Have a great day~

I think how awkward the conversation was should be the take away from this.

Not really fair to post an article like this without at least slightly dipping into Japanese culture and how such things may not be appropriate for them.

@tntswitchfan68

and then there is the line between representation and promotion- and that gets hairy as eff-

@1ofUs

Def- he's mostly heavy on nintendo with other consoles mixed in-

I've been subbed for 2 years now- Very legit.

@1ofUs

No, just YouTube-

https://www.youtube.com/c/SpawnWave/

Every weekday morning he puts out a roughly 15 minute video that talks about the most notable news of the previous day.

In other videos he will test new products, do tear-downs, and many other pieces of fun content.

Dude has about 600K subs and he doesn't even push merch- pretty stand up.

@1ofUs

I'd say right now the source for news (who probably gets a bit of his news from NL) is Spawn Wave- Zero agenda just gaming. No wonder why he is absolutely knocking it out of the park on YouTube as an individual content creator.

@1ofUs

Comingsoon.net went woke a few years ago and completely tanked- Now they have re-staffed and created a new website as a hail mary to get readers back- Probably too late.

@arenred

100% We have become a very soft society where some adults have the emotional maturity of children.

@Arkay

Thank you! Def not slowing down-

Ultimately, our goal is to preserve history and we can give an eff about money-

If we have to dump it on YouTube or a comparable, so be it-

Just want to tell the people's stories.

@Arkay

Thanks for your very sensible reply

As a white man who has been working on a self funded documentary with 2 other white men for 5 years - (1 of the men wrote the book on the subject matter and the other is our director. I am the producer.)

We are being told by distribution companies (ones that boast “equity” that they don't want our content because there is not enough diversity in our production team. We have included as much diversity in the actual work as possible- How can we help that we wanted to work on this togethere as a team and we all just happened to be white? Should we go out and find token diverse people to add to our leadership team AFTER the doc is done just so it can be distributed?

This whole situation is absurd and racist.

Equity per it’s definition creates a discriminatory situation so that everyone has the same end result- the problem is that no one is ultimately getting that same end result- Even if we caved in on Amazon’s POC quota for our doc, we still won’t be rich like Jeff Bezos and neither will any other human on Earth.

Identity posturing mostly causes more racism and hate.

10 years ago people of all colors were dancing in the streets doing flash mobs and enjoying life- now everyone is being called racist and the media is forcing hate and divide.

While appreciating diversity and inclusion we can’t discriminate against those who my seem not to be that on the surface- Everyone has more to their story and their own trails and tribulations. Discrimination against people who you believe aren’t diverse enough is just more exclusion and racism. Appreciate all people and respect all belief systems.

@BloodNinja

Thank you for your inclusive and wise words in this forum section.

You are truly open minded.

@eaglebob345

It sounds like you have been radicalized by misinformation and your hate.

I hope you can get some help!

@tntswitchfan68

No doubt, but everyone is trashed by gamers. Focusing in on one area to make victums is going to alienate other sectors. Be truly inclusive.

@tntswitchfan68

Nice sentiment but kind of weirdly said-

It creates the assumption that games aren't accepting if they don't create content to pander to an identity group - I don't think it is fair to assume such things-

None the less- It is nice to see.

@Snatcher

It's not super inclusive if it is just for gay people - shrugs

@JSDude1 100% - I find that people who claim to be "inclusive" are only inclusive to others to the point that they all stand for the same things-

Be truly inclusive of all people because they are people and not because of who they sleep with. Brainwashing kids to think someone's sexuality is the important part is icky. Just be a good human.
