So then why did you post that gif other than signaling that you're having a meltie?

Yeah I dunno I thought it felt off on some lines too.
Mostly cause I got tired of the trolls running amock shouting buzzwords. If that's me 'playing the victim,' I wonder what they've been doing this entire time.
Cause whilst they've been trying to derail the conversation with the definition of 'nepotism,' desperately trying to steer away from all the evidence that this might not have been have been 'merit' based hire.
I've shown you the CEO of sweetbaby saying in her own words how she likes to scare the marketting team shitless if they don't get what they want. It's not my fault if you decide to stick your head in the sand and don't want to hear it.
Yeah, it's funny when they can't get their way in trying to eject someone out of the conversation with buzzwords, and instead are getting the ridicule they rightfully deserve.

If they love the voice acting so much, why are they still sticking around here so desperately? We don't, and we decided to discuss it here.
"Oh noes! Bigot! Transphobe! Waaah~!"

I mean, if people don't want to spend their hard earned cash on games that have been DEI altered games, that should be our right. And if we want to inform other people about it, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
After all, if you're a fan of it. You can use that very same list as a recommendation list for your next purchase. I see nothing wrong there.
But Sweet Baby Inc the company themselves, literally went out of their way to start a harassment campaign against the person who started the curator list that did exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less.
Saying "But bla bla did much worse!" is all nice and well, and possibly true? But I doubt anyone of us in here are involved in that. And is a case completely separated from this.
Wuff, now who's sounding conspiratorial? I mean I'll happily listen if you got evidence for that. This stuff is bad from either side. But... a bit far fetched from the topic at hand.
Now who's pushing propaganda here buddy? You keep repeating this fake narrative that it started at some completely unrelated forum at some other far end corner of the internet. Whilst clearly there was little to no fuzz going on until they Literally started a hate campaign urging people to ban the curator group and it's creator. How can you justify this Blatant vindictiveness?
Because the creator of the curator group has in no way participated in that. He has been trying hard to keep the forums clean, and even removed the forums all together to save the curator list itself.
How can you say he's doing harassing and doxing, when he's public disavowed and discouraged anyone from doing that?
I'm just going by what's on a wikipedia page for Sweet Baby inc (probs more trustworthy than outrage bait articles and videos). That's about all the research I genuinely care to put into this nonsense "controversy."
Once again, maybe you anti-woke people can make a new thread to complain about diversity and do your conspiracy theory stuff elsewhere.
You've already taken this already terrible thread well off the rails.
As how riveting (its not) this SBI and GG2 talk is - people should probably realize that if Grummz is one of your vocal leaders of the movement, its most likely a grift.
On Wuk Lamat's voice, its serviceable but not my cup of tea. The VA has hot and cold moments where the cold are freezing and the hot lock in the role well; I would like to see more in DT to see if it is an issue of first time the role or if something more that needs to be reviewed (the characterization for Wuk Lamat coming off immediately more comedic takes me a bit too much out of them being a serious plot moving character.).
Here's your evidence of Kabrutus disavowing doxing and harassement.

Everyone can edit wikipedia, it is not more trustworthy. Literally you can look up the timeline, and I even showed you the timeline. It just does not match up with what you are saying.
It's still 300k members, though. Disavow or not, you know how the saying goes: "one bad apple spoils the bunch."

the wiki page is only a month and a half old. plus Wikipedia can be easily manipulated
100% agree with this.
It's a stupid saying. Just lets people tarnish a whole group by using a few bad actors. (adding this on to save on posts.)
GG2 and the SBI outrage's biggest hurdle is going to be how the big voices are the usual people who we would associate with grifting, which kind of sucks probably for the curator - because he probably has a good intention in mind thats going to get milked by people looking for clout and a buck.
At the end of the day, its going to be really interesting how certain games are going to get narrative shifted because SBI was associated with them in some fashion.
I think the issue with this whole SBI is that you are going have to convince people that AC:Valhalla, GoW:R, Alan Wake 2, and Spiderman 2 (tangently also including Wolverine here) are bad games because of """""wokeness"""""
I think the Steam curator's first thing is going to have to do that when some of these are very well sold games and what people would consider great games (maybe not Valhalla, but it sold well and is celebrated).
EDIT: Ill include Dota Underlords to the list as well.
The saddest part about how People see DEI, is that they think it's forcing people to hire people for their otherness. Where it's specifically keeping them from not getting a job based on their otherness which has been applied to them by individuals who actively are bigoted and are using their positions to gate keep others from getting into fields they're interested in.
What no one wants to realize is that DEI wouldn't exist if people would keep their personal feelings out of their work, out of politics, and out of business. It's that simple. You want DEI gone so bad? Create a world where people can't be discriminated against when they're obviously perfect for the position. Make a world where people aren't judged for the skin, sexuality, or religion.
Oh wait, so half of the people in this thread are literally misgendering the new VA and seemingly only have issue with her because she's trans. Make it make sense.
Like it's tiring that DEI, wokeness and anyform of none whiteness being the default is now just seen as this invasive plan to push an agenda. Like have ya'll ever thought that a lot of us are just tired of being treated different for who we are and just wanna have a fun job and thats it? Oh wait the laws we had to put into place to make people not judge us at the drop of a hat is now wrong because, it now collars people who would just say no even if you had the talent of experience baseline.
All I wanted to do was come somewhere because I felt the lines were off, the accent felt forced, and saw others had the same opinion.
I did not expect how bad this thread would be. Didn't even know she was trans when I first heard her lines...
But it definitely does seem some people have an issue with her just because she is trans. Others don't like the voice because of the voice. And it's just a mess.
Good point, Personally for me it was more how they've conducted themselves over these last months and for people who are anti-DEI that should be the primary attack vector rather than the perceived quality of the games they've worked on because that gets messy and subjective.
It wouldn't matter, there is legit a thread a day about this company on the Steam forums for BG3 because folks are convinced somehow this group worked on that (successful) game despite there not being any actual evidence. The closest they got was some reference to WoTC, and since Larian got the licensing from WoTC, obviously SBI personally wrote the entire game and held Larian hostage until they agreed to include 'wokeness' - whatever that even means.
The whole thing with SBI is absurd and transparent.
Even if what they are saying was true, and SBI had an active role in writing the story of BG3 - wouldnt that just be a vote of confidence from gamers as the game's story is considered very good?
Unless we are literally going to rewrite history and say its now bad because SBI is involved.
Of course, which is why none of the complaints about SBI survive even the slightest bit of critical thought.
But who needs critical thinking when we can just be mad at some perceived 'threat'?
Even the folks suggesting SBI is strongarming developers or threatening consumers are twisting comments and events so far out of context and reality I'm genuinely shocked Yshtola didn't just use them to send light to the thirteenth.
https://twitter.com/GamesNosh/status...02262017183761 doesn't need to be twisted at all she is legit suggesting strongarming as a tactic.
How dare you ask for more context. :^)
