Gotta love how they've moved on from "equality". It's all about "equity" now.

Equality means everyone. We all know it's not.

This is what happens when you have millions of people graduating with worthless degrees and have to make up bullshit job positions so that the entire system doesn't fall apart

Eh I'd say that but there's only so many bullshit positions
Most people are relegated to just taking whatever job they can find which is usually backbreaking and way too many hours for very little pay

I'm baffled how every major corp and institution are bleeding funds like mad, yet still insists on hiring useless people.

I can't wait for the wave of studies in the next few years inequovically showing that "diversity" as a business priority does jack shit for the bottom line

Didn't Activision Blizzard got bought by Microsoft.

The real mistake is having a diversity chief in the first place

It's because humanities and social sciences used to graduate then move into jobs where they were trained for desk-job trades, where their tasks was peripherally related to their major

Nowadays, colleges more or less train people to be consultants. DEI-positions are just institutionalized consultancy positions, which means their livelihood depends on them creating their own tasks
Essentially a scam, but in the current political climate and on twitter, its sacred words, so they're untouchable. You can always force more crunch on the code-monkeys, but god forbid you pay them their worth and cut off the diversity chief

Thanks Uncle Phil

Yes.

When is Blizzard going to hire the people who make good games?

I hate women so much.

I haven't cared about Actiblizzard since the merger and I definitely don't care about them now that all their chief offices are filled with ex-Bush Administration glowniggers

Hiring a chief diversity officer is a move calculated to farm outrage from sweaty neckbeards and KEEP ACTIBLIZZARD IN THE NEWS, KEEP ACTIBLIZZARD TALKED ABOUT, KEEP ACTIBLIZZARD RELEVANT

IF YOU THINK THIS IS GENUINE YOU HAVE FALLEN FOR THE FUCKING BAIT

Kinda weird to see how political officers are now literally part and parcel of office culture.

Wonder how many woman this one will harass

"equality" means "brown people good, white people bad"

Who cares what goes on at Apple, miss me with this football team bullshit

She will fix the industry, bros.

it's because "diversity" is a dog whistle for "anti-white racism"

I hope so, so that I can fulfil it and start earning money from complete bullshit

Other way around. Equity means “x group has had it good for so long that y group needs preferential treatment.” On the basis of race and gender it’s quite dumb and rewards victim complexes instead of fixing problems.

>diversity chief
Why the fuck is this a thing?

It's actually just to bust up the unions the disgruntled employees have been trying to form.

great move, queens

>We all know it's not.
Equality is far better than equity.
The problem is that people are not equal.

niggers and trannies arent going to save blizzards shit show games

It is long-form bait and short-term union busting, getting mad at it on ideological grounds and not worker's-rights grounds is doing exactly what they want you to do

Probably because of all the discrimination and harassment combined with a culture so unprofessional and toxic the state and the feds came after them?

Thinking it's about niggers and trannies is exactly the kind of useful-idiot shit they want you to believe is going on with the appointment

Equality is always used as a back door to communism

they can appoint whoever they wish to insert any race they wish, it aint going to make their games good

It's not intended to, quit being retarded

Western AAA studios are in freefall. You've got to be a lunatic to work for one considering it's already a highly stressful job and now you're walking on eggshells all the time. There's no reason not to go indie if you're talented enough to work at a big studio.

>kotick wants to be the most welcoming and inclusive company in games

sure, because so far that has been going really fucking well for him rite? kek

If their goal is to implement communism they're doing an extremely bad job at it
I get the whole white replacement thing, the socialism thing, eradication of the middle class, the own nothing thing
Those all make sense
But communism runs counterintuitively to running a business so I really don't see the red scare argument

I'm trying to find the word equity in the OP but i can't

He's been carrying on an argument in his head against Them for quite some time and any new OP is a chance to continue that argument with himself

This. If anyone on either end of the political spectrum see this as anything other than a stunt to keep workers down further then I don't know what to tell you

It's not in the op he was just making a comment

Talent flight over the past decade at blizz. They aren't coming back.

Not really, it just happens to pan out that way. You can't promote diversity in the sense it gets pushed without discriminating upwards on the social ladder, which for a long forseeable future will mean disparaging the position of white people, mostly men.

It'd be better though of as communism for the high-paying part of society. Which is where they get the "equite" part from, even if the people involved turn into screaming goats when you point it out.
The minority-identity politics is just to have a shame cudgel, when you call bullshit

>the own nothing thing
That's literally capitalism. Having something rented out so you're constantly paying them is straight up capitalism

LMAO

You're confusing neo-fuedalism with capitalism.

>Look up Diversity and Inclusion roles in my city
>Every position is $120k-$180k
Why the fuck have I been wasting my life doing (semi-)real work.

Because youre not a woman and therefore dont get to live life on easy mode

>But communism runs counterintuitively to running a business so I really don't see the red scare argumen
Yea, but most of the nutjobs in DEI-positions don't know their roots, and so will outright deny it, or understand the basic notion and scoff at you for nor understanding their craft
Communism runs against the business-world, but in principle it runs perfectly into the project of managing a DEI-office

>Buzzword meme ideology instead of excepting the blatant fact they want to keep you down and take all your money
Amerimutts have been so poisoned by propaganda it's not even funny

if you were literate you would see that post actually has nothing to do with apple.

>Thinks being a female is "easy mode"

Come on now...

>everything I don't like is capitalism
Holy shit, I want to hang all tankies. You're a retard.

Not him. Capitalism is literally neo-feudalism, but with the merchant class ruling alone and this time without even land so you can farm food. They just needed to elevate life quality for a while before reducing it gradually.

>open legs
>heres your 300€ for 30 minutes of fucking
yea..not easy at all

You're right it's actually game journalist story mode.

Inside?
Definetly not. I won't even dare to guess what goes on in a womans head.
Outside tho?
For sure. If you're at least semi attractive you can be a land whale and still land oribters and jobs in HR. Our you can whore yourself out and have an idiot pay everything for you.
That's not even hot females.
Still I woulnd't want to be a woman for a second. There's a reason there are no female ascetics.

I'm not American.
You have been so brainwashed you don't even try to understand who you are talking to.

>Capitalism is literally neo-feudalism
Not him but that's fundamentally wrong.
Socialism is literally neo-feudalism, but with the bureaucrat/soviet class ruling alone and this time without even land so you can farm food.

Then you've been gulping down their garbage because you're fucking retarded

Is this 'diversity' or 'equity' division in video games a mandatory? Or is this just another corporate autism?

>Socialism is literally neo-feudalism,
This is perhaps the most slack-jawed take I've read this morning, I'm starting the day off right.

It's a good thing I didn't say they're not capitalist then I guess

DIVERSITY.
EQUITY.
INCLUSION.
I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!

shut your stupid cock sucking mouth whore

>You have been so brainwash you assume anyone who disagrees with you is American
>T-then you've been gulping down their garbage
No user, I think it's time you analyze yourself before throwing rocks.

Not him but in capitalism you can own land and farm food for yourself you cannot in socialism.
Socialism is literally neo-feudalism with a new ruling class.

>Socialism is literally neo-feudalism, but with the bureaucrat/soviet class ruling alone and this time without even land so you can farm food.
The "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" is happening in capitalist countries, chud.
Blackrock buying homes is happening in capitalist countries.
Bill Gates buying all of the farmland is happening in a capitalist country.
Enjoy the real end game for liberalism, my friend.

A library is socialist.

I really do not think you understand what you're complaining about when you complain about socialism.

>A library is socialist.
Most braindead take in this thread.

>Diversity chief
>Blizzard
>Western companies
>Board of directors
>Square Enix
>Japanese companies.
On one hand, you get shit skins everywhere and repulsive management that actual psychologists hired to exploit the mentality of their playerbase, and on the other, you get an ambitionless fucking weak ass direction that uses shonen tropes to the death and can't come up with anything original so save their fucking life.

WoW is dogshit, and XIV never takes a fucking risk.
MMOs are fucking dead, man.

i want to know what it means i still dont understand

I'm not the one trying to argue that socialism is modern feudalism.

>The "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" is happening in liberal democratic countries, chud.
FTFY

The classic "You are so useless at your job all you can be proud of now is your dark skin"

And they all fall for it.

when will it stop getting worse

It is. Modern females in western countries are the most privileged easy living class of people that has ever existed in the history of humanity. And yes, that shit includes medieval kings and popes.

You're both right and wrong. Whether hard-core capitalists like it or not, the capitalist system we see now has resulted in a lot of the shitty state of affaird we have now, where merchants or business-world savvy drifters, who for literally all of human history was considered the absolute scum of society, essentially rule the world.
Wouldn't have gotten half as far as they did, if we hadn't socialized so much of the risk-reward factors we have, in the West and Japan.

TBS.; the way out is in no fucking way socialistic, no matter how long treatises on Utopia-around-the-corner that left-leaning academics write about it. It just doesn't work, and the assholes who fucked things up through management-positions are just going to do the same with bloated government bureaucracies, and be super self-rigthious while doing it

No you're arguing the dumbest take ITT though.
Which is what I said.
What about private libraries? I assume you mean public libraries right?

It's a Human Resources position, usually invented for the purposes of having one and not pre-existing. Most times it's also instated purely as an attention-grabber for headlines and to farm outrage from people that equate a company's political direction with the fall or rise of western culture.

>He thinks it stops.
This kind of shit doesn't stop until it takes everyone along with it, like a war that purges the weak.

>What about private libraries?
what about them
nobody talks about "the library" and assumes a private one

>TBS.; the way out is in no fucking way socialistic, no matter how
This.

Liberal democracy was imposed worldwide because it served the interest of the merchant class.

>nobody talks about "the library" and assumes a private one
In your head. Also private != personal btw

Corporate structure is insanely conservative and fights against socialistic practices with all of their goddamned might, in case you don't remember the huge push-back against coof pandemic-relief. "Socialism is not de way" is not a wrinkle-brained take here.

okay retard

The new appointment's title is "Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer"

Over the past 35 years? Yeah.

imagine you’re a manager but instead of keeping excel spreadsheets of costs and analysis, you keep a spreadsheet of how many black employees and women you have
