Wired Magazine on Emoji Skin Tones.



Don't be digital blackfacing now or whatever its called.

Wired said:
some white users worry that calling attention to their race by texting a pale high five (or worse, a raised fist) might be construed as celebrating or flaunting it. The writer Andrew McGill noted in a 2016 Atlantic article that many white people he spoke to feared that the white emoji “felt uncomfortably close to displaying ‘white pride,’ with all the baggage of intolerance that carries.” Darker skin tones are a more obviously egregious choice for white users and are generally interpreted as grossly appropriative or, at best, misguided attempts at allyship.

IGN Games Journalist Rebekah Valentine and other Gaming Journalists Helped Get Another Games Developer Employee Fired, This One Over Following Controversial Right Wing Individuals on Social Media and For Tweets Made back in 2016 as well as stated that she was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy.



The company that employed Kara Lynne as a Community Manager, apparently terminated her employment in a Tweet stating "LRG respects all personal opinions" before terminating the employment of an employee based on their personal opinions.



Games Journalists, at latest report, are now making fun of Kara Lynne's Husband who has come to her defense on social media because his last name is 'Gooch' and are pursuing ways to ruin his job prospects as well since he is an artist.

I hope those game journalists get karma l

By god, Watson it is as if the actual fans of the original first Netflix adaptation and the book actually have an opinion...

See I see stuff like this and I say "boo companies that screen people's social media.
They are, they so are, in a wonderful way, too, check how IGN did it's layoffs. :)

And they are not alone, virtually all the shitty journo rags are dying and cutting to the bone since they alienated the actual readers and the ESG cash coming from woke shithead investors is out.

Arch covered it.
Razorfist covered it.
Even JustSomeGuy and Drinker covered it, I think. :cool:
2023 is looking out to be good, knock on wood and enjoy the reeing.

True but it's not going to keep these companies from trying to appease the... easily offended let's call them.

I'll never understand why companies act this way because of a few Karens basically. They could be pissing off all kinds of legitimate customers, but they don't care about them, for some reason.


Quite simply put we live in the very start of the downward slide of the power of the woke movement. They are still pretty close to the apex of their power. Thing is they really are starting to slide they really are starting to get weaker. People really are finally starting to turn on them in pretty major ways.

Its gotten so bad that they had to get the republicans to stab their own party members in the back, and that....That had a price that's really blown through quite a bit of power. Still their going to go after any one they dislike with the same manic energy, their going to witch hunt even harder, going to ennact their mob frenzy's even harder.

But its been over a decade of witch hunts and now their former victims are starting to rise up. We still have quite a few years ahead of us but their afraid now afraid of enduring the same pain they inflict on others.

Actually a lot of this politically correct shit comes in because of crap like ESG managerialism.
Because no skin in the game politically connected hacks like Larry Fink have turned BlackRock into the 4th arm of the government.

It's because a Karen is noisy.

Most irritated legit customers will silently take their business elsewhere without saying a word because they have better things to do than make a fuss over something that's ultimately - to them - pretty trivial.

Also, a lot of Karens don't particularly care all that much if "the problem" actually gets "fixed". They just want to bitch in a "HEY, LOOK AT ME!" attention grabbing manner.
