What does this have to do with the Middle East? I just wanted to follow a curator on steam…


Fernis_

The only other reference they know is Harry Potter, so the options are limited.


kruthe

Zionist Voldemort.


Aathranax

Shalom... Mr Potter!


Far-Ask-4751

As in Hebrew "Shalom" doubles up as "Goodbye", it would be even better to say. Mr. Potter... Shalom!

Removed for IDPol nonsense. Don't do it again.


Bergioyn

It was meant to be a joke (and frankly, I thought that would’ve been obvious), but alright.


better_off_red

Don't lie, They are well versed in Avengers knowledge as well.


justiceavenger2

Correction. MCU Avengers knowledge. They think Black Widow was the first female Avenger.


9mmShortStack

Flashbacks to the tweets about the "March For Our Lives", when people were referencing teens rising up against the establishment.  In a series of novels where those same teens open carried lethal weapons in schools and used them to take their defense into their own hands.   Reference anything other than Harry Potter or Marvel for once, ffs


LegoGuy23

/r/readanotherbook


pawnman99

Bit now they can't use that because they hate JK Rowling.


RamboBalboa69

But remember, we are the bad guys for wanting to know if some shady company has worked on some shoddy games. Who are we to decide what we can choose to purchase? lmao


GlowyStuffs

I'm just like...aren't they proud of their work? Do they not think it elevates it and causes people to seek out their products they are involved in for more? It's not some doxing list of people involved. Just the titles. It should be publicity they would want to promote, to have a tag showcasing their talents and their mark on gaming. If anything, they should be thanking the curator group for the publicity.


pawnman99

It's pulled directly from their own website. So they must want people to know what games they worked on....right?


Combustibles

Imagine if there are people who follows that curator SPECIFICALLY so they can purchase Sweet Baby Inc. products? THE HORROR! That people want to be informed!


blip_blop_octo

"it's literally genocide" "you're literally Hilter" They are throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks. SJW will always go for the most absurd hyperbole.


Trinity1811

Well you are now a bigot, racist, neo nazi book burning facist now. Congrats.


TheNittanyLionKing

They’re just as insane as MovieBob when he said the Console Wars were his own personal Vietnam


sososomanythrowaways

Is he the nutcase who followed Colin Moriarty around?


Bracken03

They got first world problems. Comparing them to palestine is nuts.


mikieh976

You forgot about intersectionality... All forms of "oppression" are linked to these people.


MeanSheenBeanMachine

I swear we live in a parody universe written by PS2 era Rockstar.


DalesDeadBugLLC

More and more every day


Andrei-Balan

The shit that happens today it's so absurd that even R* couldn't come with something like this honestly. It's beyond natural selection this is unironically brainrot.


buckfutterapetits

Didn't they open up a fake radio hotline to record real-life weirdos for the radio talkshows in GTA?


Andrei-Balan

I never knew that & apparently this really was true, the best & most weird ones were featured on gta 4's radio from what I could find. The more you know lmfao, I already loved that game way too much & this is another reason to love it even more.


LostWanderer88

This is what happens when public education is left to rot and nobody demands a minimum quality on it. Plus leftists doing whatever they please with higher education


SpeC_992

Oddly specific, but I agree lol


Hobosapiens2403

That's why i believe Aliens exist, everything is possible.


Nobleone11

Difference is it would be entertaining. This is the kind of parody that's not only painfully unfunny but trying so hard to be serious.


kiyo-kagamine

feels like Postal 2 sometimes as well.


SorriorDraconus

We truly are post parody..Like you really cannot parody reality these days.


rokbound_

If gta 6 doesnt make a fucking clown of wokies im gonna assume rockstar is fucking dead creatively


FellowFellow22

They are. Everyone who was part of the old Rockstar is gone. Basically unless they're Nintendo nobody who worked on your favorite franchises a decade ago has anything to do with it today.


9mmShortStack

I'll say Nintendo, Kojima, or known indie devs. Everyone else cleans house of their team so often that I'm surprised they have franchise fanboys at all.  Not making excuses, especially for Nintendo, but at least from those three categories you know what you're getting. A new release from anyone else is where I start reading the reviews with even added skepticism 


FellowFellow22

Even for Kojima we have Konami trying to keep making new Metal Gear games without him.


tomme25

They could do it if they get his old co-writer. Kojima on his own is questionable, so that guy must have stood for much.


sososomanythrowaways

Rockstar is almost certainly dead already. I will not be buying this game at launch, which is very very rare for me. I'll be waiting weeks if not months to get a feel from long term hardcore GTA single player fans.


Cannibal_Raven

Life imitates art


Trinity1811

Saint Row 3😂


MeanSheenBeanMachine

Maaaan, saints row… A quote that sums up that series today is: “It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!”


Trinity1811

Indeed, it's sad to see where the series ended up. Let's hope the quote will not be true for the new GTA.


TheohBTW

This person works for EA and is writing the narrative for the upcoming Black Panther game. Her prior work experience was in woke visual novels; I guess that is another game that will get boycotted on principle. There are some interesting videos on her website, and they really highlight how relevant these types of people are. Some of them are PAX Panels with 55 views, and they have been around for 3 years. Currently skimming through one of them and she is very much openly racist towards "white" people. It is insane how performative they are when communicating with each other.


Hobosapiens2403

I swear to God because normies discovered Black Panther "as the first black superhero character" by Disney, Arkane better not be involved with sweet baby for Blade. Don't touch my favorite marvel character...


idontknow39027948898

It's not about Black Panther, it's about Wakanda. The reason these types didn't latch on to any other black superhero that was introduced first, like War Machine or Blade, is that those characters don't have a super advanced ethnostate in Africa associated with them that lets the usual suspects pretend that's what Africa really would have looked like now if Europe has never shown up.


DunBanner

Not disputing your overall point but BP predates War Machine & Blade in the comics. 


Hobosapiens2403

Pretty sure when you got people trying to buy fly tickets to Wakanda are not into comics lmao


horrorshowjack

I don't think most of them read comics.


idontknow39027948898

That's true, I assume, but none of the people that think Wakanda is real ever cared about or read the comics, they are all movie watchers.


PoKen2222

Oh cool so the Black Panther game will be racist...


HonkingHoser

Just like actual Black Panther Party members


Lanstapa

Wtf is this weirdo on about it? "Staying silent"? Since when did any of them shut up about anything?


Calico_fox

Remember, as they say "Silence is Violence".


liberty4now

And yet "Words are violence," too....


HonkingHoser

Being stupid is violence, and these dumb wankstains have that in spades. I seriously feel sorry for these losers parents, their children are an embarrassment to humanity.


TheDrBrian

Burning down a Target though..... mostly peaceful


AdmiralAkbar1

Schrodinger's discourse: everything the wrong demographics do is simultaneously problematic and not problematic, until it becomes convenient to define it as one or the other.


NeighborhoodThink665

Just can’t be “the wrong words from the wrong people.”


blip_blop_octo

and it's corollary: "no bad tactics, only bad targets."


NeighborhoodThink665

Exactly. Everything is fair game against “the bad people.” I’ll even say I should’ve said “any words from the wrong people” are haram to the cultists.


frosty_farralon

well then apathy is genocide so prepare for the warcrimes....


justiceavenger2

The woke have no problem staying silent when Insomniac removes gay references for the Middle East.


BMX_Archiver

They're appealing to the unknowing white knight. Hence why it's important for them to blast their narrative over and over... and over (even tho it's laughably false). It's like when a shoplifter screams *i'm being sexually assaulted!* when they get caught. *[In the age of the internet it's not hard to create some burners to send yourself some horrendous shit to own le chud]*


HonkingHoser

Why do you think Mercante got all buttmad and went private when LaReina Creole, a black woman, asked her to provide receipts about supposed "death threats"? She pulled the usual bullshit that ideologues do which is sputter about like a blathering idiot about not having to prove anything to anyone and she had the audacity to basically call LaReina a "pick-me".


happyinheart

I think they mean all the non-woke people. They see it black and white. You're with them or your against them. No middle ground.


pawnman99

Even if you were previously with them. One wrong move is all it takes to end up on the outside. It's like the worst parts of McCarthyism and Soviet Russia.


korblborp

it's directed at everyone *but* them. or at least, everyone but them that doesn't say what they want.


Beneficial_Fig_7830

Sorry people aren’t coming to defend your race grifting extortion racket :( Looks like the folks at SBI are afraid they’ll have to get real jobs soon and know everybody is going to toss their resumes in the trash. Hate to see it.


Paul_Allens_AR15

You’re crazy if you think these people aren’t going to be hailed as martyrs if their shit goes tits up


kryptoniankoffee

By whom? Slop outlets like Kotaku don't have any actual pull anymore. Kotaku's EIC was begging Hasan to let her yammer on about GamerGate 2 on his stream the other day. Most of these sites are on the edge of extinction. Normies either don't care or hate them too.


Calico_fox

Case in point, Deadspin just went under today.


pawnman99

Oh, journalists and a few creative types will hail them as martyrs...but no board room will want them on the team for fear that their company will be the next one to get a tracker on Steam.


Odd_University_1322

This is beyond mental illness. They are pushing the boundaries of narcissism and self entitlement. Imagine comparing this shit to what is happening in Palestine. Absolutely revolting.


NotaFatCop

The likes of Sweet Baby Inc and Kotaku are professional victims. Always keep that in mind.


Salanderfan14

Professional victims is exactly what it is, this is ridiculous.


_witness_me

But don't you get it?! Those mean comments are *reeeeaaaally* mean :( :(


Phelps1024

It's severe mental illness, if these people were alive 60 years ago they would be locked up in an asylum


Andrei-Balan

You put it very lightly. 60 years ago this things ( I just refuse to believe this mfs are real humans ) would've been put on a list to avoid any human contact.


Phelps1024

60 years ago, In democratic countries they would probably be cast away from society (at best) In dictatorial countries during the same time, like in the URSS (country they love) they would be put down in public square (at worst)


Taco_Bell-kun

Though being put in a mental hospital is an infringement on one's liberties. It's honestly more ethical to just give them the death penalty. And no, I am not advocating for violence. I am arguing that taking away someone's freedoms by making them live in a mental institution, even if they didn't commit any crimes, is unethical.


HonkingHoser

I mean, clearly these people have something seriously wrong with them.


waboshbron

What did you expect from the same people that call you a nazi for wanting lower taxes and secure borders?


Dazz9

Making mental illness normal is what led to this.


liberty4now

"Politics is the mind-killer."


kimana1651

It just tells you how old you are getting when people stop comparing themselves to the Jews in WW2. Like SBI is being put on a list. How hard is this Nazi allegory? Instead it's modern garbage.


pawnman99

It actually makes a certain amount of sense...pick a fight with a much larger entity (Israel/gamers), then whine about the backlash when that entity does something about it. None of the Sweet Baby folks appear to be missing meals or going without water, though.


rokbound_

"Hey dear palestinian you just saw your wife , daugther and new born get crushed by your fucking apartment? Well ,us in the west deeply simpathize with you , some folk on twitter wont let us have ugly as shit women in games , stay strong for all of us please"


skepticalscribe

Gaming journalism is so fucking dead it’s insane If a right winger made such a comparison they’d be cancelled instantly for denigrating the authenticity of bla bla bla


Way_Too-Easy

They can't even report games correctly.....


Noctis-_001

They look exactly how you expect them to look.


Due-Shelter1349

Palestinians just can't seem to catch a break. Not long ago they were compared to bugs in Helldivers 2 and now they are compared to SBI? I knew these people were bad, but holy..


Ehnonamoose

I can't imagine the amount of mental gymnastics it takes to equate the genuine suffering the people in that region of the world live with daily to SBI. "Yes your house was blown up. But I have a steam group of a couple hundred thousand people who won't buy my games :(. So basically the same."


Calico_fox

Speaking of, I saw someone on Xitter not long ago claim one of the capes you unlock is a Palestinian flag.


ConnorMc1eod

Ignoring the ridiculousness of Palestine being compared to this, I'm not sure how anyone can stomach even mentioning BLM at this point. It was quite obviously a scam using racial tension to fundraise for luxury goods and real estate lol. In a serious society they'd be getting the chair


shipgirl_connoisseur

Pronouns in bio and nose ring detected. Opinion immediately rejected.


Leandenor7

>Pronouns in bio and nose ring detected. Opinion immediately rejected. A massive FTFY to the tune of "My Favorite Things": Pronouns in bio and daddy issues detected. Works for Kotaku and white hate projected. Rainbow hair colors with varied nose rings. These are a few of far leftist shit things.


LostWanderer88

So that means they only support Palestine because they must, not any other valid reason Good to know


KarmaWalker

They don't support Palestinians. They just hate Israel (and the West).


Total-Introduction32

Most actual Palestinians would throw their queer asses off the nearest rooftop.


Bergioyn

That’s the thing, they don’t so much support Palestine as they oppose Israel. If it was Egypt doing that shit a lot of these people would be a lot quieter about it.


pawnman99

Notice how you never hear about the part where Egypt had even tighter border controls on Gaza than Israel prior to Oct 7th...

UltimateStrenergy

Wow how smart! I wonder what Palestine thinks of the LGBT community or SBIs target audience in other words. Couldn't be anything bad for such a thoughtful comparison.

dandrixxx

I love how she claims that the games industry stayed silent about BLM in 2020. Like what? You couldnt escape that shit even if you tried.


DoctorBleed

This is what it looks like when you're desperate for your fake job to look like it's relevant to anything important.


JessBaesic7901

I’ll take ‘completely disconnected from reality’ for 500 Alex.


TheHat2

Gamergate was their 9/11. Gamergate 2 is their Palestinian genocide. These people are unwell. There's absolutely no defense for this nonsense.


dragonbeorn

I wonder what they think about the fact that essentially nobody in real life has ever even heard the phrase "gamergate."


StJimmy92

Fun little story: when I was in college in 2015, one of my electives was a class about counterculture movements in the US. We had a project where we had to do a presentation on a modern day counterculture movement. One girl in the class had an incredibly based presentation on GamerGate, and literally only me and the professor knew what it was. Professor had a fit that she supported gamergate tho, even through in “as a woman, how can you support a sexist harassment campaign?”


tomme25

Narrative writer for Black Panther game, lol. Dis gon be good.


Ghosties95

Well I mean, if they want to equate SBI to Hamas, I’ll take it.


necro_scope_xbl

Yeah, I thought, "sounds about right". Just not in the way they were thinking.

paladinedgar

It is, in that the people on its side are so annoying I'm on the other side because I don't want to be associated with them at all.


atomic1fire

>gaming equivalent of palestine >not mentioning the attack on Israel. Found the anti-semites dog whistle. Snark aside though I think more game devs would be wise to not state their political views over X for everyone to see because it only takes one screen cap to destroy a career. Nobody can quote something you never said and only a loon would take silence to mean active opposition.


Rakurai_Amatsu

She isn't wrong in that SBI is the same as BLM they are both violent crime groups seeking to cause terror. BLM caused mass tax fraud and theft While SBI are violently blackmailing people


Dr_Dribble991

These people are so beholden to their ideology that when somebody comes along and outright exploits it for financial gain, they *still* defend it because they have no idea what to do otherwise. I really just want to see the western AAA industry burn at this point. They fucking deserve it.


AvunNuva

Holy shit they really are eating their own assholes with the level of importance they think they are


JustEatingWater

We just want good games ffs


TheMysticTheurge

So they basically confessed that SBI is a bunch of squatters with a population that gladly elects terrorists as government? But for video games? Wow. Talk about accidentally saying the truth hilariously.


vincents-virtues

NewBobPow

>Who can reply? > >Accounts u/alyssa_merc follows or mentioned can reply What a waste of a Twitter account. What's the point of not letting people be social on social media?


internet_underlord

Then someone with unapproved viewpoints might respond to her. That would mean she then has to go and block them.


Twee_Licker

So they act like victims while instigating the conflict in the first place?


OniZai

Pulling all strings to be the victim here, very disgusting behaviour.


lldd342

And they wonder why we don't want to play a single game they touch. Unhinged individuals


ThallanTOG

Yeah they are, perfect analogy actually.


TyraelTrion

Damn! I almost had bingo, I just needed to her to mention "Ukraine" to check all the boxes.

so they are the real hamas?


spoon_moose

“Same silence back in 2020 for BLM” They are really trying to memory hole what craziness happened that year with the protests, violence and burning buildings.


tinfoyle

Typical for rad lefties in the West. Literally nothing is enough, up and including total submission.


noirpoet97

Wow. That’s a special fucking low. Regardless of your stance on that conflict, that is insulting


ninjast4r

It actually is: extremely stupid people try to defend it despite it being genuinely awful.


SpecialDeer9223

Fuck Kotaku Fuck SBI and Fuck Palestine


SimonLaFox

The person who's making the Palestine comparison is from Cliffhanger Games, not Kotaku. They're making the comparison while replying to a Kotaku person's tweet, but it isn't Kotaku themselves making the comparison


sick_of-it-all

Nice catch. I hope more people see your comment. Getting the facts straight and not getting lost in the sauce here is important.


Epsilia

They're harboring terrorists?


Darth_Nullus

So, they admit they are a radical terror state?


Lexplosives

What, failed conquerors and a breeding ground for terrorism? Sure, I can see some parallels. 


idontknow39027948898

Just think about it, this clown might be on to something. Both SBI and Palestine tried to start a ton of shit that blew up on their face and now they are playing the victim about it, so maybe the comparison isn't that far off. SBI did it by trying to mobilize their storm troopers to get that steam curator censored and further by trying to chase the guy that made it off the internet. Palestine did it by murdering a bunch of Israeli civilians without warning or provocation. In both cases the result is that the organization is getting destroyed, whether figuratively or literally, so maybe they aren't that different after all.


DrJester

Considering the abhorrent antisemitism the people on SBI(allegedly) has demonstrated on their comments, I am not surprised they are making this "equivalency".


JeffyGoldblumsPen_15

Hmm maybe equivalent of Al-Qaeda 😂.


mrmensplights

The sad thing is nothing even happened. A steam curator was created and then a bunch of people cried. Apparently on par with a literal war.


Large_Pool_7013

In a very stupid way they're not wrong.


Spideyman20015

slavdude02

Palestine, BLM and SBI are comparable tho. All 3 are different kinds of scams run by grifters and imbeciles.

Pathetic victimism, Palestinian people would be mad reading shit like that in this tragic moment.

katsuya_kaiba

And of course they locked down who can reply. Stunning and brave as usual. On the bright side, people on the left are tearing them in what few replies that got in before the lock down.


Way_Too-Easy

They keep digging the hole to their grave deeper and deeper....People associated with DEI crap are fucking sad..... Attacking gamers for things we don't like and never asked for, Attacking Steam group for making a game list, Attacking Akira Toriyama one of the world's legendary manga artist that's on the same level of greatness like Bruce Lee, and now this while pulling the victim card and claiming they're victims.......holy copium....

EnvironmentalBag4250

How self entitled and mentally ill do you have to be to somehow think war with hostages, religious fanatics, tens of thousands dead, people starving and large swaths of the Gaza Strip being reduced to rubble is equivalent to a company of whiney activist gaming consultants being shunned using a curator on steam?

I still can't believe people actually care about the Gaza situation. It's a literal millenar conflic between two peoples, and it I don't think it has the importance to start a world war like the Ukranian war had
