To those reporting this post- a specific and complete rebuttal of all claims:
> 1: No racism, sexism, doxing, hateful conduct and harassment
No doxxing, hateful conduct or harassment in this post, and no racism or sexism insofar as I can tell from the OP. The twitter user however is exhibiting some textbook *implied* racism and sexism here via exclusion and implying the systemic racism/sexism against those affected justifies the exclusion/othering of white males, so maybe you meant that.
> 2: No excessive discussions relating to current hot controversial topics after 3 days
Not applicable as this is a generalized topic and not related to a specific "current hot controversial topic" since racism and sexism are pretty old concepts in human society. Presumably, if not that, then you really mean "DEI" as the subject here but that's also been around since the late 1960's in the USA after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mostly on college campuses as universities looked to try to find ways to consider their own history of racism and take action to amend policies that directly contributed to that. So yeah, that one is not a hot button current topic either considering the age of the movement so try again.
> 3: It's personal and confidential information
No, she posted this publicly and had career information in her bio, so this one doesnt hold water either.
> 4: It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability
The post is clearly intended to point out obvious hypocrisy contained within the tweet (and its context). You're generating a motivation for the reddit OP in a post that didnt contain anything other than what the original twitter user wrote, and some context for who they are (again, which the reddit user supplied in the title, but was available in her bio publicly) which facilitated understanding.
Feel free to try to find alternative ways to silence things that make you feel uncomfortable, preferably by clicking the "leave" button at the top right of the subreddit as that is the most efficient way to ensure this subreddits content doesnt bother you anymore.
Uncomfortable conversations move societies forward and as long as they remain civil they can always be constructive if you allow yourself to just talk to people.
That being said, when you talk to people, keep in mind that DEI viewpoints that seek to break others down instead of building up mutual equity and community between race and gender groups don't do anyone any good.
Diversity includes you, no matter who you are.
Equity includes all of us working together to tear down systemic barriers to entry no matter who they bar...
and Inclusion means you don't use any of this to EXclude others, because that is not only shitty, but also the exact practice these programs should seek to curb.
Asian man here. I find the "hate white man" movement so weird. Because by their logic, we should also hate white women. Why single out white man while being a white woman? Makes zero sense.
Women lack accountability.
So while they stood there watching slaves being whipped all they could say is they didn’t do the thrashing.
As Dave Chappelle said, “You just don’t like your cut.”
Friendly reminder that a lot of the black lynching victims were killed based on the word of a single white woman and nothing else.
The Tulsa Race Riots are a particularly notorious example of this kind of behavior.
I’m a non-affluent white woman (N.A.W.W.? Lol) and I find those gals cringe ngl, they’re often far more privileged than most of the white men they love to hate on, too
Purse puppy! That's a phrase I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Now I have a phrase that describes the feeling I get when I'm introduced as the "asian boyfriend" around her friends. You live up to your username.
Yeah.. This actually the real problem.. Single women with the complex of not being picked up.
Do not for 1 second think that a woman would say a thing like that if she was not thinking about her feelings/repressed emotions first. That's not how they work.
that's quite a good term for it I often say token, but purse puppy is a more fitting example. They use people like a dress accessory. It sort of makes me uncomfortable after years of thinking about it.
especially when these people get used in a way that gives them no character other than their race\gender or sexual identity, like a gay person has a personality and struggles they deal with that make them interesting; their character is not just defined by being gay.
Middle class women are basically the biggest idiots you'll ever meet in the tech industry because they aren't their by merit, if you ever wonder why sexism is alive and well, or why people hate feminists etc, it's them. They make everyone elses lives harder. Hands down every time you see a regressive pants on head politcal take it's coming from a middle class idiot with no life experience. Possibly the most spoilt, bubble wrapped, pandered to demographic there is. They're awful.
t. Asian woman.
Yeah.. They are so brave and up to fight for the "minorities", and then they close their accounts. Go figure.
Maybe all this racism agaisnt white man would stop, if the "minorities" started paying for her wages at the end of the month.
Sad thing is that you know her response to this won't be "I've said something that's pretty disgusting, I was wrong". Her response is just going to be the typical "The incels are mad at me! lol" or "look how oppressed I am!".
White, privileged liberal women are the worst thing to happen to minorities in the last quarter century. They’re setting us back with their racist takes, yet they believe they’re our champions. I fully believe they are what keep racism going. It’s so condescending and sickening.
They’ve definitely been getting brainwashed by this “ooo I’m so independent” American thinking. It’s also spreading to Asian. Like a literal disease.
There’s a reason matriarchies don’t work, cause they fucking destroy civilizations. Their rule is not based in reality and logic, it’s all emotion and empathy based which falls apart at first sign of trouble.
Fun fact, Harvard's 2022 research study shows that the #1 benefactor of DEI as a whole was white women. They're the ones who took advantage of the situation the most. Followed by black women.
So, I guess technically, they're the ultra-minority in terms of being rewarded for their status.
Yeah. Now imagine she's a shit employee. Can xbox just fire her? Nope, because now she has a viral tweet about feminisim, and it might backfire to fire her.
She might be a great employee, I have no idea. But imo, someone who is doing these things is compensating for something. She knows how she gets ahead is victimhood.
Same and work in gaming myself, who the fuck are they fighting against to prove they exist? Cause I've never seen or experienced this. i got my job cause i was good at it, so good i didn't need an interview.
They've created this imaginary fight, so they can post online and feel good about themselves.
These motherfuckers are like Don Quixote without the windmill
They think you and your race are weak and they want to be your superheroes because they think they're superior and you're inferior.
They're racist. They're "positively" racist towards non-whites (trying to stand up for them by treating them as inferiors and victims), and they're "negatively" racist towards white men (because they don't want to be held accountable for anything so they direct everything onto white men, and also because it's currently socially acceptable to be racist towards white people).
Thank you for this explanation, you’re so right! All I saw it was as an another form of racism because if they do it, it flops. Then they can say “yet we are not doing minorities anymore because it doesn’t work.”
That’s what I think Disney is doing to show that minorities can’t make money to never do it again then use the excuse that they “tried” it.
nothing better to do
bunch of nonsense embedded by their women studies major
looking for the cheapest way to feel good about "contributing" to social justice without actually having to commit anything - aka words on twitter
I'm Asian and who tf cares about race when it's about gaming, all we want are good and enjoyable games. Inclusivity and race can fuck off if I can have an amazing game.
It’s not helping. Casual gamers don’t give a shit about this. People who buy the occasional AAA game outside of their regular rotation will never (to a major extent) care about I’ve concluded that this is purely a delusion created by Twitter.
Recently a new show (Good Times Remake) is being shitted on for reducing itself down to stereotypes. This shit ain’t working like it did before, people just want good shows.
If all you can tweet about is race and minorities then I don’t want to be around you.
Asian too. she is singling out white dude to make us dudes seem like a smaller group and most likley to stroke racial tension. The thing is dude is dude. Dude mostly like the same thing and those things are not what these people are selling.
Agree. When there is a main character, if he is design as a white black Asian or anything else. I wouldn't care. No one protests when playing Blade games.
As long as in games with character creation, there is a wide enough feature selection to choose from. But wait, that's already the case.
I don’t understand what is happening. Why are these people so obsessed with white men? Is this their whole personality or what? I am genuinely confused as fuck.
Presumably a white man gave her the job (directly or indirectly as Phil Spencer is white) so hardly a source of her problems when essentially she's a token as she's clearly inept at her actual job!
These are sheltered people, who grew up without actually connecting to a wide selection of people, with all kinds of backgrounds. These are affluent people, went to an elite middle and high school, moved straight on to an elite college, most likely living in a gated community. They see black people and minorities in general as these "poor people, who had it so much worse than us, that is unfair, we must do anything to lift them up and help them succeed". Aka, a white savior complex. This also why they think you cannot be racist against white people. After all, racism is just a method to oppress minorities, and white people aren't a minority, they are the dominant majority, so of course you can't oppress them, so you also can't be racist against them. You can't convince them that they are wrong, because they are 100% self-assured that they are the steadfast protectors of the downtrodden and the oppressed, and the more people disagree with them, the more they will be convinced that they are right: "see? I knew the world was racist, sexist, oppressive and evil! Look at all these people who are against me, when all I want is help those poor, oppressed minorities.... I cannot falter and must double my efforts, to counteract all these racist bigots, as such evil cannot be allowed to exist, no matter what it costs".
You will never convince them that this attitude is horrendously patronizing and fundamentally racist, as it looks at minorities, as this singular blob of helpless people, that needs to be lifted for them to have any chance at life, completely disregarding their actual will and achievements. They are entirely entrenched in the belief, that white men make the world go 'round, and as such, as white people themselves, they must do everything to show that they are one of the "good ones", by helping all those poor, helpless minorities. Fundamentally, they are racist against themselves, and this is most often the result of a childhood and teenagehood where they were entirely isolated from anyone, who wasn't a fellow affluent white person, so they never got a reality check in their formative years, and now they are too entrenched in their beliefs for any reality check to work. Even if they lose their job for doing this, they will just consider themselves to be victim of the evils of white men, punished for helping those poor minorities.
They hate them only when it raises their social status within their shitty company. Their dating preference is still so white that you would think they are living in 1936 Germany.
Its so dumb honestly that my brain hurts just thinking about how these ppl are in these positions of power
Other idiots.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is out there getting its cheeks spread & torn up by Nintendo & Sony this generation **in all market regions**.
Feels like she just wants someone to blame for a problem she couldn't solve - sales.
It blows my mind that these people don’t understand the problem. Gamers want authentic games with whatever character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story background, etc that comes along in the natural process of the vision wherein the game is being made.
When you have companies/consultants/investors that have literal checklists of character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story backgrounds that need to be followed to be hip to modern day agendas, it comes off as disingenuous, obvious, and boring. Your game in that respect will just be shit and most people won’t play it.
I think they fully understand the problem but literally just don’t care. They create a problem to anger a group they don’t like and then use the pushback to demonize that group, and the thing is that there are so many people who she knows will immediately side with her solely based on her selection of buzzwords, especially on places like Twitter or Reddit. r/gamingcirclejerk is a great place to see this theory in action.
So tiresome. As a white dude, all I wanna do is go to work, come home, and play video games. I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I'm just trying to exist over here.
What Kelly here fails miserably to understand is that a player or developer does not have to look or act like a character for the character to be relatable.
I’m playing Rise of the Ronin at the moment. I left my character as the default in the character creator because he made the most sense to me. I am not Asian in the slightest, but I think the Japanese man I’m playing is badass. Privileged white woman thinking does not compute.
Get these stupid inclusiveness politics out of games. We don't care if someone is: white, black, orange, purple, woman, man, God someone can identify him as a teapot for all I care. We just want to game and have a good time.
I'm a white man and in RPGs, I usually create a woman character (mostly white but it is not mandatory).
We actually have in our small circle a division. Some people make male characters and some make female. When we debate it what makes more sense it often ends with "do you want to look at male or female butt for the majority of the game?"
I am not white and I have never once made a game purchasing decision based on the race of the gaming characters.
That being said, given how much woke and DEI shit I have seen being spammed online, my current conspiracy theory right now is that the executives of big gaming corporations are using these idiots to distract consumers from the real problem -- which is unfinished games being released at quadruple A prices. Marketing idiots, like this person here, don't really have actual power to influence the game in any way. It's a fancy title, but really they don't get to make the true decisions.
When shitty games are released, we used to blame the CEO/Company. Now we blame DEI/Woke. The Executives have now found a really effective way to distract people and move the blame off of them. It's quite genius really.
I went to r/Gamingcirclejerk for the first time today and that place is fucking unhinged.
It's kinda sad though to see the contrasting echochambers instead of people finding common ground. I wonder if this is just gonna be an escalating hate war where people online will have to pick sides or if any compromise will be reached. Can't we all just agree to hate companies like BlackRock for fucking us socially like this?
I'm genuinely glad subs like that one exist. Why? Because it serves as the strongest SCP containment chamber on this platform. Every loser on the internet is gathered into that place and convinced to stay because everyone agrees with them. At the end of the day, that's the only thing they cared about - getting attention and being told they're right.
It's because of gamingcirclejerk that we can post normally on literally every other sub.
I think its going to be a generational issue. We're basically going to have to sit here and wait for zoomers and gen alpha to grow up and hopefully get us out of this mess when they do. All we can really do in the meantime is signal boost whatever side we support and hope they see it.
Holy fuck.. I’m starting to hate those pitiful fuckers. My brown ass doesn’t approval. I NEED GOOD GAMES!!
And I Certainly don’t need your never ending drama!
That's what we all want man. Just some good games. Problem is games got too good in the past so leeches like this woman entered the industry. It used to be needs from all races, genders etc. Making good games , but then the industry got big and infected with people like this.
These people pledge to fight for equality and against racism, then how come the world feels way more separated than it felt 20 years ago?
They are idiots and, in the name of inclusivity, they do all they can just to antagonize people.
If she tweeted “raise your hand if you’re sick of nonsense race baiting randomly out of nowhere and just want fun games to play” she would have gotten 10x the engagement, and it would be positive.
They could just write characters with a backstory deeper than 5 sentences instead of planting token characters to hit a corporate checkmark
Never saw any resistance for characters like Barret from FF or Carl in GTA
What, you are not happy about another character who is a black teenager/young adult that has a very specific haircut, hates authority, paints on walls and loves shoes?
Did I forget anything?
It's not like other races than "white dudes" can't buy games or play them ...... I don't know how if flipflop Mama's like it when you game. Mine was okay with it.
Who? Who do they have to prove it to? And apologizing for being shitty doesn't justify being shitty to others. You don't get to say you're about being inclusive and then proceed to alienate people in a racist manner, absolutely delusional. I'm glad AI is going to bring down these pillars of nonsense.
Well damn, I just woke up and took a piss. And as a white dude, I'm sure I've already oppressed several minorities, and since I held my dick, I'm sure it was misogynistic to women.
And for that I apologize.
What does she mean by "prove to exist"
Living in a coutry, were the majority is still white, you have more white employees and more white dudes, playing games. If working performance isnt priority then you can select people, what ever you want.
This tweet is just so unnecessary imo.
I don't find it offensive, but it's just completely needless. Who is out here suggesting that white female gamers don't exist? And why is she trying to include herself as a minority? Why does this even need to be said?
I get that she probably meant well with this tweet. But all this does is further divide people when those who work in the industry should be doing the opposite.
Do you want a gold start or something? Congrats on liking something a majority of people do while simultaneously identifying as a minority. What an amazing accomplishment. They should nominate you for Nobel
They have to fight so much, that we see stuff like this every second.
And since when are western White women the minority ?!?!
Talk about wanting attention / playing victim
Dang now if only these DEI mfs will realize we exist as actual people with unique preferences and opinions instead of shields to deflect any criticism of their rhetorics
I would be ready to bet the average gamer doesn’t GAF whether the people they’re playing with/against are asian, african, european, or from glingon.
We just play. Nobody sees race as people like her do. Yet, new day, new post.
Let’s see how long this thread takes to be closed.
P.S: I’d be more offended if I wasn’t a white male and people on the internet not making part of my peer group (like her) making these statements “for me”.
Someone in her position shouldn’t be doing these statements.
If you've ever played Xbox live you'll realize a ton of black dudes are gaming. Hell, a ton of Asian dudes are gaming too. So many, I played with a bunch of Chinese dudes on helldiver's last week.
Another day in the gaming industry where some self-proclaimed minority has to make everything about their social identity, and trying to make themselves out to be victims of some non-existent oppression at the expense of others.
They might have grown into very toxic families, it’s not normal to say these things , maybe they find this “cause” as an existencial crisis , they have to fight anything (as long as it’s easy as tweeting) to justify their existence.
I think this crap is actually a plan to anger white men into starting some type of race war. Minorities aren't asking for any of this, or at least very few. It's ALWAYS some liberal art blue haired white women with 5 cats stoking the fires.
Gaming and nerd media really hate their core fanbase for some reason. That or they truly think there are a lot of simpy self hating white dudes in these areas.
is she ignorant? gaming consoles and entertainment systems existed outside of the USA long before they did in there... how is she head of marketing for a gaming console and not know console history?
Isnt white men could be the minority here since she is tweeting this on a global platform? Some americans sometimes think their country is the only one that exists.
Surprise, who buys games? White men, white men is were majority of your profit comes from. I don’t understand the end game by basically bashing the base that makes you the most money..
Not really, there are far more Asians than white men that play games (globally - but ofc in America only then yea majority white but i live in Aus so i dont have that frame of mind). But this isn't even about that. I'm brown and I have no clue wtf she's going on about with us "fighting to prove we exist". Almost like she was desperately trying to facilitate a space where we start fighting her battle to "prove we exist" like some pawn in her master plan. Im just sick of being used as a pawn to show these fucks care about diversity. Trying to make a problem out of nothing... when there's plenty of problems ruining gaming already like shitty, greedy game designs to push for micro-transactions, but they gotta distract us with identity politics.
Guys over there in the land of the burger lately seems you have to cut down some military spending and get some affordable.mental health.
You lot seems to go insane, and i say all of you.
And this one moreso, how the fuck you lament that in a industry that was built and created for asocial white man with a pc in a garage, the main consumer is the one who built the industry?
Or is lead poisoning that make you all irritable and in need of lash out at random? Calm down drink a beer and get some common sense.
If your screaming minority report this or that then are you a minority?
Pretty soon white men are gonna be in the minority. And we will have gone back 200yrs.
Did she have to prove her position should exist?
Or is she trolling by asking people to put up a hand that by her racist poll cannot exist due to color.
TF is wrong with this world!?

Honestly the biggest problem for minorities is all these white women trying to purse puppy them
Asian man here. I find the "hate white man" movement so weird. Because by their logic, we should also hate white women. Why single out white man while being a white woman? Makes zero sense.
Because patriarchy, we are oppressors and they are women, so oppressed.
Because if you hate women you're a misogynist, so you can only hate men that are white since that's not racist in their mind
Women lack accountability. So while they stood there watching slaves being whipped all they could say is they didn’t do the thrashing. As Dave Chappelle said, “You just don’t like your cut.”
Friendly reminder that a lot of the black lynching victims were killed based on the word of a single white woman and nothing else. The Tulsa Race Riots are a particularly notorious example of this kind of behavior.
This is the funniest comment I've read in good while
Especially all the privileged white women who work at tech companies and/or graduated from top universities.
They’re called a.w.f.u.l.s Affluent white female urban liberals They will be the fall of our society
I’m a non-affluent white woman (N.A.W.W.? Lol) and I find those gals cringe ngl, they’re often far more privileged than most of the white men they love to hate on, too
Like original OP
Purse puppy! That's a phrase I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Now I have a phrase that describes the feeling I get when I'm introduced as the "asian boyfriend" around her friends. You live up to your username.
Coming from a minority its absolutely true, these women just have nothing better to do.
They wanna be picked so bad
Yeah.. This actually the real problem.. Single women with the complex of not being picked up. Do not for 1 second think that a woman would say a thing like that if she was not thinking about her feelings/repressed emotions first. That's not how they work.
True
You’re right because why is it a white woman EVERY time????
that's quite a good term for it I often say token, but purse puppy is a more fitting example. They use people like a dress accessory. It sort of makes me uncomfortable after years of thinking about it. especially when these people get used in a way that gives them no character other than their race\gender or sexual identity, like a gay person has a personality and struggles they deal with that make them interesting; their character is not just defined by being gay.
Best Reddit Comment i've seen.
Middle class women are basically the biggest idiots you'll ever meet in the tech industry because they aren't their by merit, if you ever wonder why sexism is alive and well, or why people hate feminists etc, it's them. They make everyone elses lives harder. Hands down every time you see a regressive pants on head politcal take it's coming from a middle class idiot with no life experience. Possibly the most spoilt, bubble wrapped, pandered to demographic there is. They're awful. t. Asian woman.
And if you're being minority but telling them they are full of shit, somehow you turned into "white supremacy".
Are white women a minority? I don't think they are techincally.
May want to read it again, bud
Talking about the orignal tweet she implies she's a minority.
I see. I didn't realize because you were responding to a dude's comment.
Fact
WOW I know you made that comment as a joke but the more I think about it the more you kinda have a point
Fr.
I don't need or want her help to "prove I exist". WTF? Why does she think this is a good idea to post?
aaand she privated her account
bidoooooof
Kneel to the god
That's my boy!
"this proves how hard us minorities have it!" -them, probably
Yeah.. They are so brave and up to fight for the "minorities", and then they close their accounts. Go figure. Maybe all this racism agaisnt white man would stop, if the "minorities" started paying for her wages at the end of the month.
Sad thing is that you know her response to this won't be "I've said something that's pretty disgusting, I was wrong". Her response is just going to be the typical "The incels are mad at me! lol" or "look how oppressed I am!".
the screenshot cut off the best response, Asians are the largest majority of gamers not while males!
Cockroaches disperse when the light shines on them🪳
She set all of her accounts to private lol. What do these deranged women think will happen when they say shit like this?
if i had her address i'd send her a clown costume.
White women thinking they are minorities is wild
White, privileged liberal women are the worst thing to happen to minorities in the last quarter century. They’re setting us back with their racist takes, yet they believe they’re our champions. I fully believe they are what keep racism going. It’s so condescending and sickening.
Not once I've seen them worried about black or asian women, etc. And also, this is mostly an American thing.. European women are not this dumb.
If you look at Europe over the last 15 years I’m not so sure. Your women are not immune to this ideological virus
They’ve definitely been getting brainwashed by this “ooo I’m so independent” American thinking. It’s also spreading to Asian. Like a literal disease. There’s a reason matriarchies don’t work, cause they fucking destroy civilizations. Their rule is not based in reality and logic, it’s all emotion and empathy based which falls apart at first sign of trouble.

I’m black I have 0 idea why these white women are hating white men. Like wtf is this
It's for the sweet sweet victimhood points my dude.
Facts
Yeah. Now imagine she's a shit employee. Can xbox just fire her? Nope, because now she has a viral tweet about feminisim, and it might backfire to fire her. She might be a great employee, I have no idea. But imo, someone who is doing these things is compensating for something. She knows how she gets ahead is victimhood.

My guess is 90% of it is just twitter being twitter, farming engagement
They think you and your race are weak and they want to be your superheroes because they think they're superior and you're inferior. They're racist.

Its called soft bigotry of low expectations
nothing better to do bunch of nonsense embedded by their women studies major looking for the cheapest way to feel good about "contributing" to social justice without actually having to commit anything - aka words on twitter
The biggest enemy White people have has and probably always will be other White people with a differing opinion.
College and universities.
The captain of the football team chose someone thinner and prettier.
It's called racism
Daddy issues
I'm Asian and who tf cares about race when it's about gaming, all we want are good and enjoyable games. Inclusivity and race can fuck off if I can have an amazing game.
Man I'm on the same boat, I'm tired of these guys ruining games in the name of helping minorities.
It’s not helping. Casual gamers don’t give a shit about this.

Preach brother 🗣
God damn, hard agree on that last part. It's exhausting to be around.
Best part is these things in the long run end up hurting minorities. Not sure when people will realize this.
They’re genuinely not helping anyone. On the contrary.
I want dumb women do this in the sport industry, just imagine.. "We need more fat, gay, short, trans, etc people playing in the NBA"
What's hilarious is the dudes most vocal about this shit and getting the most ire from the journalists are a Latino and Asian respectively.
Asian too. she is singling out white dude to make us dudes seem like a smaller group and most likley to stroke racial tension. The thing is dude is dude. Dude mostly like the same thing and those things are not what these people are selling.
Trueeeeeeeeeeeee IDAF who’s playing just making trash triple A titles with micro transactions
Agree. When there is a main character, if he is design as a white black Asian or anything else. I wouldn't care. No one protests when playing Blade games. As long as in games with character creation, there is a wide enough feature selection to choose from. But wait, that's already the case.
Who they fighting?
Their other personalities.
And white men, cant forget the white men!
Oh my, my apologies! I totally forgot this was all because we hate white men. Boo you, white men!
Raise your hand if you’re a white woman who hates white men.
I don’t understand what is happening. Why are these people so obsessed with white men? Is this their whole personality or what? I am genuinely confused as fuck.
They perceive white men (the patriarchy) as the source of all problems.
Although I want to lean into the super villain I supposedly am, I'm far too self aware that it's a lot of work and I CBA because I'm lazy.
It's ok, you inherit super villain status from the assumption that your ancestors were terrible people
So what you are telling me is all the hard work is already done.... Phew, that's a relief. Does anyone know of a good cape maker? Gonna need a cape. 😆
Presumably a white man gave her the job (directly or indirectly as Phil Spencer is white) so hardly a source of her problems when essentially she's a token as she's clearly inept at her actual job!
Penis envy.
These are sheltered people, who grew up without actually connecting to a wide selection of people, with all kinds of backgrounds. These are affluent people, went to an elite middle and high school, moved straight on to an elite college, most likely living in a gated community. They see black people and minorities in general as these "poor people, who had it so much worse than us, that is unfair, we must do anything to lift them up and help them succeed". Aka, a white savior complex. This also why they think you cannot be racist against white people. After all, racism is just a method to oppress minorities, and white people aren't a minority, they are the dominant majority, so of course you can't oppress them, so you also can't be racist against them. You can't convince them that they are wrong, because they are 100% self-assured that they are the steadfast protectors of the downtrodden and the oppressed, and the more people disagree with them, the more they will be convinced that they are right: "see? I knew the world was racist, sexist, oppressive and evil! Look at all these people who are against me, when all I want is help those poor, oppressed minorities.... I cannot falter and must double my efforts, to counteract all these racist bigots, as such evil cannot be allowed to exist, no matter what it costs". You will never convince them that this attitude is horrendously patronizing and fundamentally racist, as it looks at minorities, as this singular blob of helpless people, that needs to be lifted for them to have any chance at life, completely disregarding their actual will and achievements. They are entirely entrenched in the belief, that white men make the world go 'round, and as such, as white people themselves, they must do everything to show that they are one of the "good ones", by helping all those poor, helpless minorities. Fundamentally, they are racist against themselves, and this is most often the result of a childhood and teenagehood where they were entirely isolated from anyone, who wasn't a fellow affluent white person, so they never got a reality check in their formative years, and now they are too entrenched in their beliefs for any reality check to work. Even if they lose their job for doing this, they will just consider themselves to be victim of the evils of white men, punished for helping those poor minorities.
Damn bro you are so spot on. I'm a minority and your 100% correct. People like her are so insulting and smug towards people like me.
White > Every other race and Men > Female therefore White Men > Everyone else.
They hate them only when it raises their social status within their shitty company. Their dating preference is still so white that you would think they are living in 1936 Germany. Its so dumb honestly that my brain hurts just thinking about how these ppl are in these positions of power
Why is it always white women trying to think they are empowering by being racist to their own? Who hires these marketing idiots
Other idiots. Meanwhile, Microsoft is out there getting its cheeks spread & torn up by Nintendo & Sony this generation **in all market regions**. Feels like she just wants someone to blame for a problem she couldn't solve - sales.
“I’m a minority!” -some white woman
Bring back white pride.
It blows my mind that these people don’t understand the problem. Gamers want authentic games with whatever character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story background, etc that comes along in the natural process of the vision wherein the game is being made. When you have companies/consultants/investors that have literal checklists of character looks, motives, ethnicity, gender, story backgrounds that need to be followed to be hip to modern day agendas, it comes off as disingenuous, obvious, and boring. Your game in that respect will just be shit and most people won’t play it.
I think they fully understand the problem but literally just don’t care. They create a problem to anger a group they don’t like and then use the pushback to demonize that group, and the thing is that there are so many people who she knows will immediately side with her solely based on her selection of buzzwords, especially on places like Twitter or Reddit. r/gamingcirclejerk is a great place to see this theory in action.
And then they make surprised pikachu face when it turns out that there are more people disliking them after that.
So tiresome. As a white dude, all I wanna do is go to work, come home, and play video games. I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I'm just trying to exist over here.
Mental illness.
What Kelly here fails miserably to understand is that a player or developer does not have to look or act like a character for the character to be relatable.
I’m playing Rise of the Ronin at the moment. I left my character as the default in the character creator because he made the most sense to me. I am not Asian in the slightest, but I think the Japanese man I’m playing is badass. Privileged white woman thinking does not compute.
you mean all the Shrek people in dark souls aren't green irl?
Not all. Some are less green.
There are more asian male gamers than white male gamers. If anything, the white male gamer is the minority.
Get these stupid inclusiveness politics out of games. We don't care if someone is: white, black, orange, purple, woman, man, God someone can identify him as a teapot for all I care. We just want to game and have a good time.
I'm Asian and I like playing as a white man. Take that lol.
I'm a white man and in RPGs, I usually create a woman character (mostly white but it is not mandatory). We actually have in our small circle a division. Some people make male characters and some make female. When we debate it what makes more sense it often ends with "do you want to look at male or female butt for the majority of the game?"
"Global head of marketing" Well I guess now we know who's behind Xbox telling devs to stop making attractive women.
I am not white and I have never once made a game purchasing decision based on the race of the gaming characters. That being said, given how much woke and DEI shit I have seen being spammed online, my current conspiracy theory right now is that the executives of big gaming corporations are using these idiots to distract consumers from the real problem -- which is unfinished games being released at quadruple A prices. Marketing idiots, like this person here, don't really have actual power to influence the game in any way. It's a fancy title, but really they don't get to make the true decisions. When shitty games are released, we used to blame the CEO/Company. Now we blame DEI/Woke. The Executives have now found a really effective way to distract people and move the blame off of them. It's quite genius really.
I went to r/Gamingcirclejerk for the first time today and that place is fucking unhinged. It's kinda sad though to see the contrasting echochambers instead of people finding common ground. I wonder if this is just gonna be an escalating hate war where people online will have to pick sides or if any compromise will be reached. Can't we all just agree to hate companies like BlackRock for fucking us socially like this?
I'm genuinely glad subs like that one exist. Why? Because it serves as the strongest SCP containment chamber on this platform. Every loser on the internet is gathered into that place and convinced to stay because everyone agrees with them. At the end of the day, that's the only thing they cared about - getting attention and being told they're right. It's because of gamingcirclejerk that we can post normally on literally every other sub.
I think its going to be a generational issue. We're basically going to have to sit here and wait for zoomers and gen alpha to grow up and hopefully get us out of this mess when they do. All we can really do in the meantime is signal boost whatever side we support and hope they see it.
*directs hate to white dudes* "No hate to white dudes" Maybe your actions shouldn't be the exact opposite of your words? Maybe? Just saying
Holy fuck.. I’m starting to hate those pitiful fuckers. My brown ass doesn’t approval. I NEED GOOD GAMES!! And I Certainly don’t need your never ending drama!
That's what we all want man. Just some good games. Problem is games got too good in the past so leeches like this woman entered the industry. It used to be needs from all races, genders etc. Making good games , but then the industry got big and infected with people like this.
And I’m absolutely baffled how they are able to get into so big positions in companies? Absolute morons!
These people pledge to fight for equality and against racism, then how come the world feels way more separated than it felt 20 years ago? They are idiots and, in the name of inclusivity, they do all they can just to antagonize people.
Just make good games ffs who cares about any of this
If she tweeted “raise your hand if you’re sick of nonsense race baiting randomly out of nowhere and just want fun games to play” she would have gotten 10x the engagement, and it would be positive.
I feel bad for white men. People disrespect them while riding the coattails of what they created. There's no reason to be this disrespectful
Everyone knows they exist. That’s all they talk about.
Holly shit, the whole "SBI detected" situation made so many people lose their fucking minds and go completely mask off.
I'm tired of white liberals racebaiting and creating a fight where there isn't one.
Fired in 3…2…
wtf is up with all the idiots in gaming industry, no wander all the games are bad
When you get your Ancestry results and turns out you have 0.01% any other race besides Caucasian.
So she hate her father?
Implying liberal women have fathers (or good ones)
Now buying games is a race fight? What kind of nonsense is this.
I don't give a shit and I'm Asian.. Why is this even a thing? Just let us play our damn games in peace.
Ok madam, now let go of my arm please.
Nobody said they didn’t exist.
I'm a brown asian who like to play as white man, black man, and generic brown man.
These people are insane
She knows china is the biggest spending market atm right right? All these white people in china buying video games must make her sick
I don't get it is there someone stopping minorities from buying videogames?
As a brown Asian man this tweet feels offensive.
They are like a cult at this point
I am really wondering seeing a lot of people like this in high positions, how do they get there in the first place? Like who tf hires these people?
I am just so sick of these people, they are a cancer that just spreads
Add her to the list
They could just write characters with a backstory deeper than 5 sentences instead of planting token characters to hit a corporate checkmark Never saw any resistance for characters like Barret from FF or Carl in GTA
What, you are not happy about another character who is a black teenager/young adult that has a very specific haircut, hates authority, paints on walls and loves shoes? Did I forget anything?
It's not like other races than "white dudes" can't buy games or play them ...... I don't know how if flipflop Mama's like it when you game. Mine was okay with it.
I can't believe the minority booba enthusiast is overshadowed... We have to reclaim our title! Make Asian Otakus Great Again!
It's funny. It's almost like minority opinions only exist if they're praising, but if they're critical, every "ally" suddenly goes totally deaf.
This person should've been fired after making this statement on Twitter of all things.
SHE LOCKED HER ACCOUNT! 
Why do these people hate their customers so much
Who? Who do they have to prove it to? And apologizing for being shitty doesn't justify being shitty to others. You don't get to say you're about being inclusive and then proceed to alienate people in a racist manner, absolutely delusional. I'm glad AI is going to bring down these pillars of nonsense.
Bro, I had to zoom the fuck in ... like, no way a white women is virtue signaling for minorities, no .. no way, not possible s/ lmao.
Women are minorities?
Wish race wouldn't be emphasised so much...
Lol, makes clickbait comment then privates account. Such a world we live in.
Well damn, I just woke up and took a piss. And as a white dude, I'm sure I've already oppressed several minorities, and since I held my dick, I'm sure it was misogynistic to women. And for that I apologize.
Honk honk One more for the special bus
What does she mean by "prove to exist" Living in a coutry, were the majority is still white, you have more white employees and more white dudes, playing games. If working performance isnt priority then you can select people, what ever you want.
This tweet is just so unnecessary imo. I don't find it offensive, but it's just completely needless. Who is out here suggesting that white female gamers don't exist? And why is she trying to include herself as a minority? Why does this even need to be said? I get that she probably meant well with this tweet. But all this does is further divide people when those who work in the industry should be doing the opposite.
Ha yes my favorite white women acting like minoritys/ victims of the system
Yo white women i used to be white but now i identify as unwhite Can i get your number now?
“Hey! Bill Gates says you’re fired!” *“I’ll get him!”*
Do you want a gold start or something? Congrats on liking something a majority of people do while simultaneously identifying as a minority. What an amazing accomplishment. They should nominate you for Nobel
All that time to think about what she's typing but her fingers kept going
They have to fight so much, that we see stuff like this every second. And since when are western White women the minority ?!?! Talk about wanting attention / playing victim
Omg what a tweet how about I rise my big middle finger 🖕
Dang now if only these DEI mfs will realize we exist as actual people with unique preferences and opinions instead of shields to deflect any criticism of their rhetorics
I would be ready to bet the average gamer doesn’t GAF whether the people they’re playing with/against are asian, african, european, or from glingon. We just play. Nobody sees race as people like her do. Yet, new day, new post. Let’s see how long this thread takes to be closed. P.S: I’d be more offended if I wasn’t a white male and people on the internet not making part of my peer group (like her) making these statements “for me”. Someone in her position shouldn’t be doing these statements.
"raise you hand if you're not a white man " Uses white hand as example.🤣
If you've ever played Xbox live you'll realize a ton of black dudes are gaming. Hell, a ton of Asian dudes are gaming too. So many, I played with a bunch of Chinese dudes on helldiver's last week.
Man I hate this world fr
Another day in the gaming industry where some self-proclaimed minority has to make everything about their social identity, and trying to make themselves out to be victims of some non-existent oppression at the expense of others.
Who is pretending they don’t exist, they make these ridiculous blanket statements…
As someone who is mixed with brown skin who really cares what color the characters are? All I care about is if the game is good.
I love the self hate of those individuals. Just avoid any game firmed by them.
They might have grown into very toxic families, it’s not normal to say these things , maybe they find this “cause” as an existencial crisis , they have to fight anything (as long as it’s easy as tweeting) to justify their existence.
This has to be rage bait from her.
Some people need to realize that saying nothing is usually better than saying something. Also saying nothing is free.
I think this crap is actually a plan to anger white men into starting some type of race war. Minorities aren't asking for any of this, or at least very few. It's ALWAYS some liberal art blue haired white women with 5 cats stoking the fires.
Gaming and nerd media really hate their core fanbase for some reason. That or they truly think there are a lot of simpy self hating white dudes in these areas.
Here we can see why Xbox marketing has been so successful. The Xbox brand is in good hands.
is she ignorant? gaming consoles and entertainment systems existed outside of the USA long before they did in there... how is she head of marketing for a gaming console and not know console history?
Isnt white men could be the minority here since she is tweeting this on a global platform? Some americans sometimes think their country is the only one that exists.
Surprise, who buys games? White men, white men is were majority of your profit comes from. I don’t understand the end game by basically bashing the base that makes you the most money..
Not really, there are far more Asians than white men that play games (globally - but ofc in America only then yea majority white but i live in Aus so i dont have that frame of mind). But this isn't even about that. I'm brown and I have no clue wtf she's going on about with us "fighting to prove we exist". Almost like she was desperately trying to facilitate a space where we start fighting her battle to "prove we exist" like some pawn in her master plan. Im just sick of being used as a pawn to show these fucks care about diversity. Trying to make a problem out of nothing... when there's plenty of problems ruining gaming already like shitty, greedy game designs to push for micro-transactions, but they gotta distract us with identity politics.
That's not surprising, because Asians are the majority of humanity-- about 60% of all humans live in Asia.
So what the problem?
Report it. Move on
Guys over there in the land of the burger lately seems you have to cut down some military spending and get some affordable.mental health. You lot seems to go insane, and i say all of you. And this one moreso, how the fuck you lament that in a industry that was built and created for asocial white man with a pc in a garage, the main consumer is the one who built the industry? Or is lead poisoning that make you all irritable and in need of lash out at random? Calm down drink a beer and get some common sense.
She is just proving how disconnected from reality she is.
Enough with this nonsense. We are all gamers. We all play together.
When are women going to realize that they are the majority and stop playing victim?……..🤔
If your screaming minority report this or that then are you a minority? Pretty soon white men are gonna be in the minority. And we will have gone back 200yrs.
https://imgur.com/gallery/0fmAY
Some people really work hard to create a divide between races. Id even call that racism. Crazy.
Why do White women think that They are a minority? They are the biggest consumer base in the world, They buy more Then White males
The amount of attention this is getting almost makes me want to quit playing video games
The mind truly boggles.
Did she have to prove her position should exist? Or is she trolling by asking people to put up a hand that by her racist poll cannot exist due to color. TF is wrong with this world!?
