No shit, my stepdad works as a supervisor in a welding shop, and a new production supervisor thats black got hired and told everyone they cant use the term "jig" like welding jig, drilling jig, alignment jig, because its a short version of an "old derogatory term for a black person"........ i fucking cant.
I want to laugh at this comment but that’s seriously concerning. Stuff like that is why trump got re elected. Once you get a bunch of people who have never turned a wrench in their lives to start telling other people who work hard for a living that they’re racist it’s going to start pissing people off.
This is giving me flashbacks of the whole debacle between "master" and "main" branches used in software development. These people will always be insecure to make anything anyone else does a problem. Instead of tackling the root problems with racism, sure lets changes this words around to give ourselves a golden star that we did something. Idiots.
😮 My company did this. I had no idea that’s why we switched. I still love my job but man am I disappointed in whoever pushed for that change. It disrupted work for at least a week. Probably more for a handful of engineers.
My last job was for a company based out of California and they did this. I’m in the Midwest so it was a remote position. They had all the woke politics you would expect - they were constantly talking about how we could better cater to gay / trans / minority users, they tried to pressure me to get the vaccine even though I lived in a different state 2,000 miles away, etc. Now I’m working for a local company, we still use “master” for the main branch, we still use terms like “blacklist” and “whitelist”, and absolutely no one cares.
Same.. meanwhile, my corp only created about 12% of our repos as “main”, and now it’s just a crapshoot of you don’t know which it goes by half of the time when you’re doing git checkouts. So dumb.

Kala - कला - Art Kaala - काला - Black Kaal - काल - Time Kal - कल - Tomorrow or Yesterday Now here is the thing, there is no standard how these words are spelled, people spell them however they want but they are written in a different script and read differently than English. This whole thing is stupid.
Thanks for this. How is it you know about this, do you have SE Asian heritage? Asking in good faith. Judging of the spelling, they were aiming for “Art”desh
It doesn't just mean "black". "Kala" is a Sanskrit word that is THOUSANDS of years old, and can mean "black", but more precisely in that context means "darkness" as in the absence of light, but is also the word used for "time" and "death". Because it is such an old word, in use for such a broad timeframe, its meaning is broad, and ambiguous without context. It is where the Hindu god Kali the Destroyer derives her name. Kala is also the word used for Death in the famous quote of Robert Oppenheimer from the Bahavagad Gita(which he personally translated from the Sanskrit) when he described first seeing the atomic bomb: "I am Death, the Destroyer of Worlds"
True, I think they are the racists for changing it based on a word that means CAN mean black. Nothing to do with black people or not even a deragatory word.
Why? Because in 2009 the housing market crash was the last time that every economic class of Americans were truly bipartisan and united against the elite 1% at the very top of our economic pyramid. Very shortly after the Occupy Wallstreet movement, there was a coordinated effort by the federal government and media corporations to change public opinion from "99% vs the 1%" to "white people are all racist, all black people are victims." This came from the very top of government, too, when Barack Obama said that Dallas Police Dept. were all racists for shooting the black man that was actively killing people. Ever since then, the media has been constantly focused on reviving racial tension in the US so that the poors are squabbling amongst outselves in the mud while the wealthiest people in the world are watching from atop their ivory towers. The people telling you that "all white people are racist" are the very same ones that control the banks and the media corporations.
The goal is to drive a wedge between people to damage society. The left's goal is to shrink our population. How? Get half of everyone to annoy and ruin the other halfs life.

HR departments, in which I worked for a few years back in the early 90s, used to be the department in the company that maintained employee records, handled the W2s and I9 forms, settled disputes between employees, and were the first to interview prospective new-hires, screening out those with bad background checks or completely unqualified for the offered position. That was it. HR had six people, three being file clerks, one the receptionist and two who dealt with everything else. Today, HR departments have C-level executives, staff for those executives, multiple departments within the HR department... they create problems to solve in order to justify having so many employees. NONE of those employees actually bring in revenue to the company. Yes, you have to have someone to keep employee records confidential and organized. You need to have employees who understand how to have new-hires fill out all the employment forms, etc. There will always be that need of some employees who are not directly involved in making direct revenue. But having a fifty-member department with executives and sub-departments of HR is simply going too far. ... and this topic is exactly what HR has turned into. A bloated department with 4/5ths too many employees all trying to justify their being employees at the company. No company needs a C-level executive earning $500,000/year to direct the HR department. HR needs to be two offices. One in back for all the confidential employee records that is HR staff only, and the front office where initial interview screenings, reception to the company, uniform distribution, and other "paperwork" needs. Five people can handle a company with 3,000 employees. I know it because that's the number of employees we had and five HR workers is all it took (and that was back when typewriters were still in heavy use, not computers. We had one computer to deal with Excel spreadsheets and nothing else). Too many jobs/companies exist just to make up reasons to justify their existence.
their main function is to protect the company from the employees...that's why the idiot C-levels give them C-level fake jobs..because they have to protect the C-level fake jobs as well
$500,000 pa for someone in the HR is unheard of to be frank though. You can get to that level as a freelancer if you really work your ass off. As an internal, no way, unless things in the US are much different than here in the EU.
@@PerunsZGRevenge Agreed, $500 000 is a bit bloated of a figure. Still, I've seen the same happening (HR dept resp and staff overgrowth); with chief happiness officers and stuff like this
I used to love MTG and introduced it to my son. We played for a while until everything became about race. Then we came out of retirement to get the 40k and Godzilla cards but the game is just unrecognizable anymore from where it began and thats a real shame
If using the word "black" as a descriptive word without any malice as "racist" then that should apply to the inverse color "white". I'm Asian and white people being addressed as white take no offense. It's just a word to describe not as an insult meanwhile the other word have meaning?
that's the weird thing though most black people don't even support this crap. These consultants are speaking for _no one_ except people like them which is a fraction of people. It makes zero sense why companies are hiring these people.
to be fair, calling asian people "yellow" feels kind of cringe. There is definitely a double standard. Like it's okay for white people to be white, but the moment you point out any other skin color it's bad. It's just coded racism from the left as usual and they don't seem to realize it. they view anyone who isn't white as inferior.
Facts. Imo, if people see the world trough race, they are racist, easy. That's also why we hate this DEI/woke stuff, it recks of racism, discrimination and elitism, like we are too stupid to understand their manipulation.
As a black person who has never played magic the gathering, I’m so offended. I didn’t really have much to do today so I’m glad I have something to be angry about.
Its not just letting consultants amd HR control the game, WotC likely held a meeting to hire a consultant form because they felt they needed new ways to virtue signal. WotC WANTED them to contrive this for marketing and publicity.
At this point the reason an ideocracy remake doesn't come out that includes the internet is because we have surpassed what the writers have come up with.
Kaladesh doesnt even mean anything when joined together in hindi. Kala desh, would just mean black country by itself, which could be due to pitch black soil found there.
4:50 my melato friend never experienced any sort of racism in our small town; then he went to Wayne State in Detroit and got a lot of colorism from his black friends because he was too “white.”
Censoring language is the worst idea people could possibly have and yet here we are. Decades upon decades of evidence that it doesn't work and people are still trying it. I will explain to the children in the back of the class: Words are just descriptions of things. You can change how you describe something, but the idea of it won't go away. Instead, people will just describe the "thing" with a different word and in a decade, people will try to stop other people from using that new word.
"Colorist and racist connotations" Connecting irrelevant words in irrelevant ways to make it sound like something is relevant enough to their political ideology to impose it on a subject that has nothing to do with politics makes this a perfect example of modern progressivism. Colorist: an artist who emphasizes color relationships in a work of art, or a hair dye specialist. Racist: characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.
Words evolve and change. But in order to justify their existence, they probably do word research dating back to the dawn of time. One that ignores any and all usages of a given word that isn't racist. These people gotta learn the sentence, "Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". Because imo, words are only ever racist or bad, if the person hearing them think it is. I can call a fat person fatty all day long, but if that person simply owns his own lifestyle, the "insult" becomes meaningless to him. Like a merchant character from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. "The ladies call me "Oh god!" but you can call me Fat Larry with a F-A-T cause I know I got a weight problem and I just don't give a fuck!"
Asmongold literally explain the other meaning of colourist. It's discrimination within the same race, based on skincolour. Like, a high class pale white person discriminating against a lower class tanned white person. These things don't generally happen in white countries anymore, but it happens in Asia for example. In Jaoan a lot of people more north with lighter skin look down on people from for example Okinawa in the south because they have darker skin, and to them dark skin is considered "ugly", which is why you see so many Japanese girls do a lot of make up and powder to make themselves look paler.
@@JMPERager So when you combine racism and classism is called "colorism"? What you said honestly sounds like something someone would make up on the spot to sound in the loop but have absolutely no idea if what they're talking about is even what the original statement intended to convey.
It is really simple. If a company hires a group that bets paid for calling things racist to evaluate their product, that group will not only come back with multiple examples of how I is indeed racist 100% of the time, they will also have multiple tiered plans for how you can pay them to address the racism you just paid them to convince you was there. It then just depends on how much you are willing to pay at that point. You can give them all of their demands, sorry pay for the highest tier, in which case they will contact the media and assure them of how seriously you are taking things and what a model example you are for how things should be, or you can choose any other option which will result in them just making themselves look good while they leak negative information to the public and instigate protests and boycotts against you. To make it even simpler, no matter what you do or have done the second you involve any entity that makes money from calling things racist they are going to call you guilty and blackmail you. That is their entire business model, and they are VERY profitable at it.
I live in an island in the Philippines called "Negros" island which is divided into 2 provinces Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental. Spanish colonizers found dark-skinned native people here when they arrived in 1565 and decided to name it so. The name hasn't been changed for nearly 500 years now and not a single soul has been offended. Oh, and this is real world btw.
Guys, 10 years ago, i made a drawing and called it "pipapupa". Little did I know, this collection of words traslates to "neeguh faget" from the language i just came up with. I sincerely apologize to everyone affected by this vapid portrayal of cultural ignorance.

He's not looking healthy, he's put on quite a bit of weight since I watched him a year or so ago. It's that age you hit where the pizza and ice cream hangs with you.
the funny part is the reason kaladesh is so expensive isn't because it got "banned for cultural sensitivity" it's because the set contains invention which are special cards that have unique artwork and are ridiculously expensive. you get 1 or 2 inventions in a box and the box will have payed for itself.
1:03 yes, but really the correct translation is "we paid good money to have subversive activists engage in active measures to destroy our market share".
At least half of the sets coming out each year will be crossover stuff from a foreign ip from the mtg universe. So yes, in a technical sense of the game and how it is going forward, you are also right
yet another example of going looking for a problem in something nobody had a problem with for decades so you can feel like your fighting the good fight
I could see somebody totally stocking up on a set that has a similar situation (many chase cards so opened packs), creating a false outrage over a particular card or two to get it banned next, which thus increases the price of their inventory. Scary thought that this sort of manipulation could creep into this hobby.
10:16 This is such an important point. The proportion of productive people is getting smaller and smaller. Especially in large companies, there are “specialist departments” for everything now. Of course, each department has a manager, a deputy, an assistant, a trainee and so on. None of them provide any real added value for the company. These people are literally looking for problems where there aren't any and the worst thing is, they don't offer any solutions or suggestions for improvement. Meetings about meetings are held, which has already become a meme. At the end, the work week is over and the people have literally done nothing for the company other than driving up labor costs
*Hinduism has many black gods* Krishna - He was called Krishna Kale(Black) Kali Maata - Kali(female term for black colour) She is goddes of time, death, destruction Lord Shiva - He may/may not be black but smears himself in a dark color ash P.S. - People getting triggered for some made-up reason is getting annoying
It hurts everyone except the consultants. It hurts the company and employees. A company I did VO for was told to replace my voice with a female voice because they thought more female voices would be more desirable, they ended up paying twice for the projects I had done (unsustainable) and I ultimately lost a client and eventually career.
The thing is. this doesnt only affect Booster Packs. This is a statment that these Firms can soft ban words if they get enough influence no matter where.
So basically what Markus Allard here in Sweden called "transferiatet". A class of people who's only purpose is to create a need for their own existence. Basically a lot of HR, people working in communications, people selling certificates (that they made up), people doing courses in political activism and so on. They aren't creating any value anywhere and they keep like-minded people afloat by hiring and buying their ideas.
As a Swede myself, I was not aware of this term. After an albeit quick and superficial read, I must say I find this "theory," for the lack of a better term, unconvincing. Do you perhaps have any further insight on this topic that you would be willing to share? Thanks.
@itaintinnit Yeah, sure do. It's called the workforce, just go take a look at most fortune 500 companies in the USA, for example... lol. Read some press conferences.
@@matthewcarroll2533 ...I'm sorry, what? What's the relevance here? I'm specifically asking about the term "transferiatet," if that wasn't clear. I found the theory/explanation model I briefly read online to be unconvincing, but would love to hear from someone who knows more. That's all. Cheers.
@itaintinnit Oh sorry, if you were referring to the term itself then yeah, I don't know, I'm just telling you that how the person above described the term is basically the modern workforce in a nutshell.
I remember that consulting firms as a concept was introduced to me through 90's television and I thought it was incredibly stupid because it's basically the modern tarot card reader. They measure the market for your product...before your product even exists, which means they're a waste of money and claim to know things that they don't or can't.
Colorism is sooo real, us Hispanics have this as well which is just a double sided , double edged blade. The darker gets judged and the lighter skin don’t feel Hispanic enough and they get labeled as white. No one wins 😂
Ugh dont even get me started. When they made up the term "Afro Latino" because remember, if your akin is slightly darker, youre DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE ELSE AND SPECIAL AND STRONGER AND BETTER BECAUSE Afro Latino.
@@MaxSoininen 💀 I think you’re having a whole different conversation alone. But in general we are born without discrimination and then we’re fed words and ideas that make us believe we are different.
I honestly think it’s the set that signaled the end of everything that was good about Magic. This just reinforces that idea. It continued the insane powercreep that Gatewatch kicked off, pushed big money chase cards that weren’t in the set (Zendikar did this too, but it was more fitting with Zendikar’s theme and handled on a much smaller scale), and it just smelled like the modern corpo art and theater kid theming that all of the sets have today. The fact that they have come back to it because of this silliness extends its lead as the most damaging set in Magic’s history to anybody who was a long time player/fan.

The problem is the term consultant. If you're a writer and for a example you're writing a Tom Clancy like novel. Then you either need to be in the army or find a consultant that knows a lot about military, government and army.. Perfectly normal stuff.. And also with consultants you don't have to listen to them you hired them. They are not there to tell you what to do they're there for you to ask questions and give you answers and that is it.. If you don't like what they're saying fire them its that simple. If that is really their job as a consultant. You know what a language consultant really does? They help you translate words not tell you what to do with words. So these DEI Language consultants are not even real jobs.
It seems woke consultants are being used as scapegoats, the devs hire them, they tell them to inject woke shit into the game, they already were going to do it anyway, but now they can just claim it's the consultants who told them and they didn't know any better .. otherwise none of this shit makes any sense.
I think there is a difference between what you said and those DEI type consultants. In one case there is clearly a job to do, some kind of start and finish. In other, there is a "problem" to find and solve. And the issue is that you may fabricate that problem just to justify you being there. Damn, its like with car mechanics. If you know whats broken you can go there and ask them to fix that thing. If you dont know what/if anything is broken, they can charge you some bullshit rates and pretend that your entire car is fucked. Why? Because of money.
@@N4chtigall My point is you don't really need them. You can hire them and even if you do you don't have to listen to them at all. Their word isn't law. If I want to have a authentic cop drama but I've never been a cop I can either watch a bunch of movies about cops or hire a cop type consultant whatever that is but at the end of the day I never have to listen to them at all. Same as like a dentist, I've gone to a dentist who told me I had like 20 cavities. Guess what just because he said I had 20 cavities didn't mean I had to have him work on them.. And I didn't I had them checked out by a older guy who was another dentist and he told me I only had one tooth that looked problematic but wasn't a cavity. Just because a professional says something doesn't mean you need to hire them or take their word as law. A professional can easily be a con artist because most people don't question them or know better. At the end of the day these DEI people are con artist getting paid to do a nothing job and make up fake stuff.
Kala/cala actually means "colorless" by its oldest Sumerian root, and the more appropriate understanding of colorlessness would be white because black is all colors run together and white is the absence of all colors.
Love all the people on reddit stating "I don't have much stock in the game", but then go on to paint everyone else who's been playing for ages as r@cist for simply voicing their incredulity at this obviously shallow attempt to virtue signal. When did we as a society get to such a point? People can't even voice a reasonable, non-bigoted opinion without others frothing at the mouth to label them as some of (what used to be) the most heinously derogatory terms imaginable, all off one comment! We are wayyyy to quick to judge each other and dehumanize nowadays, a bit scary to be honest.
Some subs have become so cringy lately. It's like everyone is walking on eggshells. People need to relax with the race stuff. When we were kids playing MTG, race wasn't even on our minds.
They alienate everyone that plays their game and buys their product for a group of people who never had any interest in playing the game or buying the product.
Could this be insider trading? Like someone at WotC (or the consultant company) buys a ton of these boxes, probably at a company discount, then discontinues them for racial sensitivity. And when the value of the boxes goes through the roof they start selling them privately for insane profit.
Basically wizards of the coast gave 1 million people a new bad word to use. instead of using that word as intended.. They gave the dialect that uses it as a negative more power, gave the word more power.
As someone who works in marketing - it is quite normal to check if made up names are slurs or insults in other languages. Ohhh this is shit from the past???? That’s weird.
this sounds so miserable especially if it applies to non-roman based languages idk if i can explain this well, but if something is insulting in thai for example, and some random dude just so happened to make up a word using the alphabet, that is pronounced the same, I'd never consider that the same as using the thai slur, just like the spanish word for black isn't one of the n's

It doesn't just mean "black".
"Kala" is a Sanskrit word that is THOUSANDS of years old, and can mean "black", but more precisely in that context means "darkness" as in the absence of light, but is also the word used for "time" and "death". Because it is such an old word, in use for such a broad timeframe, its meaning is broad, and ambiguous without context.

Kala is also the word used for Death in the famous quote of Robert Oppenheimer from the Bahavagad Gita(which he personally translated from the Sanskrit) when he described first seeing the atomic bomb:

True, I think they are the racists for changing it based on a word that means CAN mean black. Nothing to do with black people or not even a deragatory word.

Holy moly this is like a nightmare i cant wake up from. Why has our society gone this way? Its so depressing.
Why? Because in 2009 the housing market crash was the last time that every economic class of Americans were truly bipartisan and united against the elite 1% at the very top of our economic pyramid. Very shortly after the Occupy Wallstreet movement, there was a coordinated effort by the federal government and media corporations to change public opinion from "99% vs the 1%" to "white people are all racist, all black people are victims." This came from the very top of government, too, when Barack Obama said that Dallas Police Dept. were all racists for shooting the black man that was actively killing people. Ever since then, the media has been constantly focused on reviving racial tension in the US so that the poors are squabbling amongst outselves in the mud while the wealthiest people in the world are watching from atop their ivory towers. The people telling you that "all white people are racist" are the very same ones that control the banks and the media corporations.
Yup, its sad.
The goal is to drive a wedge between people to damage society. The left's goal is to shrink our population. How? Get half of everyone to annoy and ruin the other halfs life.

HR departments, in which I worked for a few years back in the early 90s, used to be the department in the company that maintained employee records, handled the W2s and I9 forms, settled disputes between employees, and were the first to interview prospective new-hires, screening out those with bad background checks or completely unqualified for the offered position.
That was it. HR had six people, three being file clerks, one the receptionist and two who dealt with everything else. Today, HR departments have C-level executives, staff for those executives, multiple departments within the HR department... they create problems to solve in order to justify having so many employees. NONE of those employees actually bring in revenue to the company.
Yes, you have to have someone to keep employee records confidential and organized. You need to have employees who understand how to have new-hires fill out all the employment forms, etc. There will always be that need of some employees who are not directly involved in making direct revenue. But having a fifty-member department with executives and sub-departments of HR is simply going too far.
... and this topic is exactly what HR has turned into. A bloated department with 4/5ths too many employees all trying to justify their being employees at the company. No company needs a C-level executive earning $500,000/year to direct the HR department. HR needs to be two offices. One in back for all the confidential employee records that is HR staff only, and the front office where initial interview screenings, reception to the company, uniform distribution, and other "paperwork" needs. Five people can handle a company with 3,000 employees. I know it because that's the number of employees we had and five HR workers is all it took (and that was back when typewriters were still in heavy use, not computers. We had one computer to deal with Excel spreadsheets and nothing else).
Too many jobs/companies exist just to make up reasons to justify their existence.
bloatware except in business, sad to see... I say its about high time to cut the bloat
HR are useless and counter productive
their main function is to protect the company from the employees...that's why the idiot C-levels give them C-level fake jobs..because they have to protect the C-level fake jobs as well
$500,000 pa for someone in the HR is unheard of to be frank though. You can get to that level as a freelancer if you really work your ass off. As an internal, no way, unless things in the US are much different than here in the EU.

If using the word "black" as a descriptive word without any malice as "racist" then that should apply to the inverse color "white". I'm Asian and white people being addressed as white take no offense. It's just a word to describe not as an insult meanwhile the other word have meaning?
that's the weird thing though most black people don't even support this crap. These consultants are speaking for _no one_ except people like them which is a fraction of people. It makes zero sense why companies are hiring these people.
to be fair, calling asian people "yellow" feels kind of cringe. There is definitely a double standard. Like it's okay for white people to be white, but the moment you point out any other skin color it's bad. It's just coded racism from the left as usual and they don't seem to realize it. they view anyone who isn't white as inferior.
Facts. Imo, if people see the world trough race, they are racist, easy. That's also why we hate this DEI/woke stuff, it recks of racism, discrimination and elitism, like we are too stupid to understand their manipulation.

Censoring language is the worst idea people could possibly have and yet here we are. Decades upon decades of evidence that it doesn't work and people are still trying it.
I will explain to the children in the back of the class: Words are just descriptions of things. You can change how you describe something, but the idea of it won't go away. Instead, people will just describe the "thing" with a different word and in a decade, people will try to stop other people from using that new word.

"Colorist and racist connotations" Connecting irrelevant words in irrelevant ways to make it sound like something is relevant enough to their political ideology to impose it on a subject that has nothing to do with politics makes this a perfect example of modern progressivism.
Colorist: an artist who emphasizes color relationships in a work of art, or a hair dye specialist.
Racist: characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.
Words evolve and change. But in order to justify their existence, they probably do word research dating back to the dawn of time. One that ignores any and all usages of a given word that isn't racist.
These people gotta learn the sentence, "Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". Because imo, words are only ever racist or bad, if the person hearing them think it is. I can call a fat person fatty all day long, but if that person simply owns his own lifestyle, the "insult" becomes meaningless to him.
Like a merchant character from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.
"The ladies call me "Oh god!" but you can call me Fat Larry with a F-A-T cause I know I got a weight problem and I just don't give a fuck!"
Asmongold literally explain the other meaning of colourist. It's discrimination within the same race, based on skincolour. Like, a high class pale white person discriminating against a lower class tanned white person. These things don't generally happen in white countries anymore, but it happens in Asia for example. In Jaoan a lot of people more north with lighter skin look down on people from for example Okinawa in the south because they have darker skin, and to them dark skin is considered "ugly", which is why you see so many Japanese girls do a lot of make up and powder to make themselves look paler.
@@JMPERager So when you combine racism and classism is called "colorism"? What you said honestly sounds like something someone would make up on the spot to sound in the loop but have absolutely no idea if what they're talking about is even what the original statement intended to convey.
It is really simple. If a company hires a group that bets paid for calling things racist to evaluate their product, that group will not only come back with multiple examples of how I is indeed racist 100% of the time, they will also have multiple tiered plans for how you can pay them to address the racism you just paid them to convince you was there. It then just depends on how much you are willing to pay at that point. You can give them all of their demands, sorry pay for the highest tier, in which case they will contact the media and assure them of how seriously you are taking things and what a model example you are for how things should be, or you can choose any other option which will result in them just making themselves look good while they leak negative information to the public and instigate protests and boycotts against you. To make it even simpler, no matter what you do or have done the second you involve any entity that makes money from calling things racist they are going to call you guilty and blackmail you. That is their entire business model, and they are VERY profitable at it.
I live in an island in the Philippines called "Negros" island which is divided into 2 provinces Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental. Spanish colonizers found dark-skinned native people here when they arrived in 1565 and decided to name it so.

The problem is the term consultant. If you're a writer and for a example you're writing a Tom Clancy like novel. Then you either need to be in the army or find a consultant that knows a lot about military, government and army.. Perfectly normal stuff.. And also with consultants you don't have to listen to them you hired them. They are not there to tell you what to do they're there for you to ask questions and give you answers and that is it.. If you don't like what they're saying fire them its that simple. If that is really their job as a consultant. You know what a language consultant really does? They help you translate words not tell you what to do with words. So these DEI Language consultants are not even real jobs.
It seems woke consultants are being used as scapegoats, the devs hire them, they tell them to inject woke shit into the game, they already were going to do it anyway, but now they can just claim it's the consultants who told them and they didn't know any better .. otherwise none of this shit makes any sense.

I think there is a difference between what you said and those DEI type consultants. In one case there is clearly a job to do, some kind of start and finish. In other, there is a "problem" to find and solve. And the issue is that you may fabricate that problem just to justify you being there.

@@N4chtigall My point is you don't really need them. You can hire them and even if you do you don't have to listen to them at all. Their word isn't law. If I want to have a authentic cop drama but I've never been a cop I can either watch a bunch of movies about cops or hire a cop type consultant whatever that is but at the end of the day I never have to listen to them at all. Same as like a dentist, I've gone to a dentist who told me I had like 20 cavities. Guess what just because he said I had 20 cavities didn't mean I had to have him work on them.. And I didn't I had them checked out by a older guy who was another dentist and he told me I only had one tooth that looked problematic but wasn't a cavity. Just because a professional says something doesn't mean you need to hire them or take their word as law. A professional can easily be a con artist because most people don't question them or know better. At the end of the day these DEI people are con artist getting paid to do a nothing job and make up fake stuff.

Ohhh this is shit from the past???? That’s weird.
Yeah, the way they DIDN'T do that for Mad Max, lol "Root for the bad guy"
It literally doesn't mean anything
this sounds so miserable especially if it applies to non-roman based languages
idk if i can explain this well, but if something is insulting in thai for example, and some random dude just so happened to make up a word using the alphabet, that is pronounced the same, I'd never consider that the same as using the thai slur, just like the spanish word for black isn't one of the n's
