I thank you for you constructive criticism and very valid points regarding the ongoing argument.Learn to type English or at least spellcheck if you want to be taken seriously while shitting on people who you just disagree with.
Then you go summarizing. I suggest you read what Boss Mog posted (as quoted below). He summarized it better than either of us could.Whatever that law is, isnt what we are talking about. Could careless about the politics since Im not gay nor someone that drools over conservative bait feed.
The Florida gov threw a hissy fit because Disney threw a useless statement of support. Gov tried to punish Disney, but it ultimately punishes the taxpayer. Disney ends up fine.
Florida passed a law preventing teachers from discussing things of a sexual nature with students under the age of 8. A law that seems to be common sense but that these days needed to be on the books. For some reason the LGBT lobby decided that law was anti-LGBT because it wouldn't allow them to groom, indoctrinate and confuse little kids anymore so they started calling the bill the "don't say gay" bill even though the word gay isn't even in the bill. The lobby then went to Disney, a so called "ally" and a huge company in Florida to campaign against it. At first Disney said, we're staying out of this, lawmaking isn't what we do. But then the lobby and Disney LGBT employees raised a fuss on social media and Disney backtracked and grovelled in apology before the mob and started actively campaigning against the bill; a bill that the vast majority of Florida voters supported. So basically they were opposing democracy. This pissed off Florida's governor who decided to revoke Disney's special rights in Florida. Basically Disney was operating as its own independent nation within the state, they had total self-governance on their land, they could build what they wanted, do what they wanted and paid no state taxes. This was an old agreement dating back 60 years and it was very advantageous for Disney, but now they lost it because of their undemocratic activism.
Note to EA execs and their level headed employees,
Hold firm.
Dont let the manchildren you hire take over the company. Do what every company (including yours) has done in the past. Ignore intercompany political issues. Just be neutral. Once you get political it becomes a sliding scope of idiocy.
Tell those weirdos to keep their politics at home. Just as nobody wants bosses to nag them to do work during off hours, tell those assholes dont bring your home life to work during company hours. And if not, fire them.
I agree that hatred is wrong. Most people just oppose the radicals pushing the woke stuff. It’s important to see the difference.Yeah that would be good. That also means that there is no need to critize, jugde or hate people for their sexuality too. Gay couples get a lot of hate for just living their life and holding hands in public. Thats a sad fact, but it is a fact.
maybe people would stop demanding acceptance when there is no more hate for just being who you are.
I really dont get a lot of comments in here.
Usually im quite happy to be on GAF because the hyper sensitive woke movement in other parts of the gaming community is sometimes unbearable, but some of the comments in here......
...its either pure ignorance, hatred or plain stupidity.
I get why it is weird to demand a pride flag from your employer, but in generell the movement is a good step in the right direction. Just because there are bigger problems in the world doesnt mean you cant try to change the smaller problems.

What say you GAF? Personally, I find it sad that we live in a world like this.

Do you preach this to your ME or China branches? What’s that? No?
Thought so.
Some people are so desperate to virtue signal that they are anti-woke (oh the irony) they end up sounding bigoted as fuck.
Try to ignore it. It’s the same mentality as what you get at Era from the other side of the equation. The majority here arent like it.

This 10000x.
I never understand that shit. Do they think saying the same shit suddenly means they are better or not like the side they are talking about?
Like this?

Some people here are just Jesus freaks anti-abortion gun loving neckbeards, but many other just hate the hypocrisy of an act that does absolutely nothing. There is no oppression of homosexuals in the liberal west, so this is just a way to win points with the woke mob who just keeps asking for more and more.I really dont get a lot of comments in here.

I could be wrong and looking at this from the wrong angle but surely the vast majority of LGBT and (womens') rights activists should be focusing way more of their time/money/attention on those countries where it really is terrible.
I honestly expected Netflix to be more likely to fold on this stuff. Elon Musk smoked weed on the Joe Rogan podcast lol, was obvious he doesn't give a shit.At least we're seeing some people/companies fighting back. Elon Musk is still insanely popular with both the moderate left and the right. Netflix telling its employees they can go work somewhere else if they don't like the content. Basecamp banning politics from the company.
I have no problem with supporting gay people,and that's what the pride flag used to mean to me.Problem for me is the whole thing has been hijacked by a lot of mentally ill people who want to identify as Demons and Cake......I find waving a flag for these types to be in really bad taste and don't support the normalisation of mental illness.Gay people should split from these loons and let them have the flag.....create their own thing like the LGB alliance have done.
This might be the funniest post of all of 2022; POTY.Just rainbow the company logo on Twitter like everyone else.
You know, this is a pretty good argument to make and i think it is worthwhile to think about it carefully. Sadly (and maybe that is a genrell problem on the internet) this discsussions and arguments seldom come through on gaf, because you have to swim through a lot of anger, bigotry and negative emotions to really talk about what it is that peopple bother so much.Some people here are just Jesus freaks anti-abortion gun loving neckbeards, but many other just hate the hypocrisy of an act that does absolutely nothing. There is no oppression of homosexuals in the liberal west, so this is just a way to win points with the woke mob who just keeps asking for more and more.
People are tired of corporations bending to what is a minority, because this doesn't end with a rainbow flag. They keep moving the fucking goalpost and there is no victory until they get everything they want, which means you get to use women spaces even with a beard and a dick.
It's hypocrisy because trans rights are human rights on Twitter, but then they do business with Saudi Arabia, China and so on. Muslims are oppressed and Europe needs to get them all and never criticize them or people get literally murdered in the street. China has concentration camps? Oh well, can't talk about it.
They're all gay until it's good for business. They're all against guns, pro LGBT, pro choice, pro muslim, anti Israel, anti Russia, as long as it's good for business.
They should shut the fuck up and be corporations.
Also, a couple of notes on the modern LGBTQ+ movement and the pride flag:
The flag used to be there to represent homosexuality/bisexuality, then they added trans people that were slightly different (sexual orientation vs gender identity) but most people were ok with it. What is it nowadays? It represents being queer, which is a political statement. Suddenly, the rainbow wasn't enough and they added the trans flag on top of a flag that already represented them. Then they added black and brown, cause I guess, Black Lives Matters. It's slowly becoming an "everything but white and straight" flag. No wonder a bunch of white kids call themselves nonbinary to avoid being persecuted. It was based in biology, in "this is who I am and there's nothing I can do about it", now it's all about identity and concepts that just hide narcissism and other mental illnesses.
I'm fine with people being gay, I love gay people. I don't mind if a guy loves to suck a cock or if a dude wants to dress as a woman. I don't care if a woman wants to date women (good luck with that, I've been doing it all my life). What I care about is a group of people creating a hierarchy of oppression where the most oppressed gets the most power and these people basically being EVERYWHERE.
At least we're seeing some people/companies fighting back. Elon Musk is still insanely popular with both the moderate left and the right. Netflix telling its employees they can go work somewhere else if they don't like the content. Basecamp banning politics from the company.
This has never been about gay rights. Ignore the right wing nuts who really hate the LGBT community. That's a red herring the woke left uses to frame it as a good vs evil thing. It's not, plenty of people on the left, including me, hate wokeness.
What I always thought was most interesting about this scene, is not the obvious hot kiss itself, but how smg's character is supposed to be this bad bitch, but she's not into it at all, whereas selma's character is more timid and naive, but she's way more into it, shoving her tongue into smg's mouth; almost as if the characters are flipped personality wise because of how the actors felt about the scene.Lack of support here is disturbing. Here's something for representation.
So your a bigot who hates Chinese people and those who don't accept your religious hatred and intolerance. But it is ok because everything is just evil virtue signaling.State of our country today:
- No walkout over actual concentration camps in China
- No walkout over forced slave labor in China
- No walkout over kids getting murdered in schools
- Walkouts over trans jokes
- Walkouts over abortion rights
- Walkouts over lack of virtue signaling
I have several gay friends who don't feel like the LGBTQ+ community represents them anyway. I also think what happened to Contrapoints, a person I disagree with a lot but still respect, just for not following in line and a bunch of Gay/Trans people who are hated by the community for not agreeing with their message (Douglas Murray, Blaire White, Buck Angel etc)You know, this is a pretty good argument to make and i think it is worthwhile to think about it carefully. Sadly (and maybe that is a genrell problem on the internet) this discsussions and arguments seldom come through on gaf, because you have to swim through a lot of anger, bigotry and negative emotions to really talk about what it is that peopple bother so much.
I can tell you from personal experience that the LGBTQ+ community is not a harmonious group of people. Anger and bigotry happens there too ( weh are all just people after all). Im, as a bisexual, hardly in a position talk for or even fully understand trans or queer people and what they are going through.
Not sure what i am trying to say here. I guess a have to think about your arguments a bit more....
It's funny how JKR went from annoying one side by retconning with LGBT stuff to being hated by the other side because she doesn't believe men can be women. I think the whole Terfs vs TRA is just the beginning of what you create when your value is based on oppression. It's like Dave Chappelle vs Trans people, but you'll eventually see fat people vs disabled, "neurodivergent" vs Muslims and so on.I honestly expected Netflix to be more likely to fold on this stuff. Elon Musk smoked weed on the Joe Rogan podcast lol, was obvious he doesn't give a shit.
It's one of the reasons why it's interesting to hear what the mega-mega-rich think about stuff. JK Rowling is one of the very few outspoken celebrities saying "no come on... trans women are not the same as biological women" because she has "fuck-you" money.
Slowly?It's slowly becoming an "everything but white and straight" flag.
When agendas are forced on people, it’s normal to have blowback. Which is unfortunate, because it’s going to create hate where there wasn’t before.I have to be honest here....
...i really dont have words for stuff like this. There is a lot of woke-washing (for the lack of a better word) when it comes big companies. I get the anger and frustation (and resignation) from all sides of the woke argument. Maybe we just lash out in anger in here because some things out there are out of our control and just plain frustrating.
I dont know maybe we are all a bit hypersensitive at the moment - we live in weird times after all.
i had to fix itIt's slowly becoming an "everything but straight" flag
This is why their so-called pride is worth jack shit, it's just pandering and performative.
Corporations cant do anything about. Because just like Ozzy's FIFA's post above, they are too busy counting the money!This is why their so-called pride is worth jack shit, it's just pandering and performative.
They never show pride and support genuinely marginalized and persecuted groups living in the places that it would count the most.
In some of those very places where LGBT people are literally murdered for being who they are. Crickets, from both these companies and part-time slacktivists.
I rather they did not do it at all, but if they're going to bother, then at least commit to it. What's the point of making a show of being virtuous only when it's convenient for you to do so?
It's not even that they are obligated to stop it, it's the very obvious performative aspect that I find obnoxious.Corporations cant do anything about. Because just like Ozzy's FIFA's post above, they are too busy counting the money!
Yup.there's 1000s out there who would happily take their job and EA i'm sure would have no problem paying their replacements less. crazy what people will do for "heady" ideals and standing up for others. they should be happy about having a cushy job at a game company.
Because tech companies are lax letting their workers bring their home life to work. And when that flood gate opens, many will make a corporate culture change from fun and money, to personal demon issues, which politician to elect, and how many tweets to publicly tell what's happening internally at the office.Why do these assholes need some faceless corporation to offer platitudes about social issues?
To be fair, corporations have been pushing this "We're on your side, we're your friend" angle for the past 5 years at least. They just drank the koolaid.Why do these assholes need some faceless corporation to offer platitudes about social issues?
Disney is fine. Yes youre right, Gov pulled a hissy fit, now Florida has to pay the balance.Then you go summarizing. I suggest you read what Boss Mog posted (as quoted below). He summarized it better than either of us could.
So you chose to remain ignorant. Not surprising.Disney is fine. Yes youre right, Gov pulled a hissy fit, now Florida has to pay the balance.
Where is the bald month pride? I want to be represented!!!!
Fucking woke society.
