Companies Are Learning To FEAR Their Customers Again! Talking To Woke Media A "Lose Lose" Scenario

- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- The reason why our entertainment properties, gaming, TV and movies. Star Wars and countless other franchisees went woke was because their activists convicted companies like Disney that they would destroy them unless they obeyed. It was a fine bluff! But we don't need to bluff, our counter culture has demonstrated it can sink shows like The Acolyte and the media can not save them. At long last the corporations are starting to understand this too, that the future is ours.

We're the Schrödinger's Audience.
Somehow, we're the minority, yet we're somehow big enough to cause games, movies or shows to fail.
Like Godot
Couldn't have put it better myself. We're a reactionary fragment no one takes seriously and dwindling into complete irrelevance - but at the same time, a massive sinister cabal powerful enough to bring down massive franchises backed by megacorps.
Their claim that we are the minority is meant to be a gaslight in order to demoralize us to just "pony up and shut-up!" They actually want US to BECOME the mODeRn auDiEnCe!; To blindly buy their slop without question like good little consumers! It's Marxism 101.
However, that's obviously antithetical to business 101. We the customers are the majority and the woke are the fringe minority. That's why our boycotts work and theirs fail.
Revolutionary 101. The Boogeyman must be scary enough to give the tyr ant power, but not so scary that people call for new leadership and panic.
Games live by the grace of gamers.
Dear Industry:
The economic beatings will continue until product and behavior improves.
Sincerely- the majority of the fandom.
Yet FOSS will stay woke
It used to be that you would roll your eyes and it was a moment of cringe that you could ignore… now it is all you get cringe on top of cringe on top of cringe.
It’s not even worth it anymore I would rather not watch or play the entertainment they put out.
In the 21st Century, *BUD LIGHT* has become the new *DEUS VULT.*
(...NOTHING gets management's attention better than the annihilation of a multi-billion $$$ market share...)
Activists see themselves as martyrs anyway.
I just don't see anything happening when the giant hedge funds still wield all of the power. You think they fear you, but your pension funds go right back into their wallet through blackrock. You don't have to buy their stuff, they're still getting your money one way or another.
To quote Sovereign from ME1:
"You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it."
That has to be one of the *coldest* lines in all media.
Kinda wish we'd used that line on Bioware back when they went on the 'artistic integrity' attacks post 3 rather than trying to be nice about the whole thing
Sovereign was a villain in ME2, Saren in ME1
@@MrConredsX line is from the first interaction with Soverign as a Hologram in ME1 you see him throughout the game and he machine humps the Citadel at the end, Collectors are the enemy of ME2, clearly you didn't play the game
@@MrConredsX Sovereign was dead by ME2. Sovereign was the Reaper ship that had Indoctrinated Saren and was using him as a puppet to do his will. The boss battle at the end was against Saren, and the moment he died, it opened a chance for the Earth fleet to destroy Sovereign. Harbinger is who you are thinking of, who appeared first in ME2 and its DLC - he is the original Reaper, the first of them.
They haven’t even been brought to heel yet. Once ubisoft is a trophy on the wall _then they will know fear._
tfw I'm only ever going to be interesting in things that are "for me"
If not Ubisoft then some other big company. We need a major scalp like perhaps Disney, EA, Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, or some other company that was once a major player. Get Woke, Go Broke is absolute and a lot of these companies are barreling straight for the Broke stage. We need one of them to file for Chapter 11 and once that happens, we'll have that scalp and we can use it as an example of what happens to companies that embrace wokeness.
And same with LucasFilms.
As soon as Kathleen Kennedy becomes jobless, then they'll learn why you should never cross the line.
Destroying American stocks IS LOQUACIOUS PART OF THE PLAN. don't celebrate

It's hilarious how quickly corpos are going from making excuses for why they "can't" give us what we want, to suddenly being able to give us what we want and begging us to give them another chance.
They've done a similar flip before from forcing Nier to be middle aged in the west & banning Elizabeth from being on the cover of bioshock infinite cause "old white guys is what sells"
To current "only diversity sells" 😂
They just can't help themselves & have to push the "current thing" on Devs

Reminds me of a quote where a good man is not a harmless man.
We tried to tell them in good faith that we didn't like what they were doing with our beloved IPs. They started calling us names instead of listening to us. So this is the response they signed up for. You get what you give. These companies wanna throw hate at us, we'll throw it right back and not buy their crap.
Throw it back five fold.
The relationship between consumers and companies is fundamentally rooted in mutual respect and understanding. When corporations fail to listen to their customers-particularly regarding beloved intellectual properties-they create a rift that is detrimental to both parties. The name-calling and dismissive attitudes of corporate entities towards their consumer base reflect a serious misunderstanding of the market’s foundational principles.
In the realm of economics, consumer preferences dictate the success or failure of products and services. When firms choose to ignore these preferences, they not only risk alienating their loyal customers but also undermine the very principles that sustain their operations. The response from consumers, characterized by a refusal to purchase products that no longer align with their values or expectations, is a natural and justified reaction.
This situation illustrates the concept of reciprocity in human interactions, where "you get what you give" holds true. If companies choose to engage with their customers disrespectfully, they cannot expect goodwill in return. Instead, consumers wield the power of their purchasing decisions as a form of protest against corporate arrogance.
Ultimately, this dynamic serves as a reminder that the market is a two-way street. Corporations must learn to engage constructively with their customers and recognize that their survival hinges on consumer satisfaction. Ignoring this reality can lead to their downfall, as consumers will always seek alternatives that respect their values and preferences. In the end, it is through this process of feedback and adaptation that a healthy market economy thrives.
Money always speaks louder than words with corpos...
"People suffer what they tolerate." Terran Morale Officer Handbook.
Why else do you think that "Tolerance" has been such a cultish pursuit by these people the last few decades. Teaching people to 'put up with' things they otherwise know they don't want or need... a great way for the powers-that-be to be able to force more and more intolerable stuff onto us
Tolerance ia a virtue of a dying civilization
"The rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal."
For them "good faith" is just agreeing with their radical identity politics. The writers of this article are gaslighting, their arguments are bad faith arguments against the majority of the fans.
Yes, the 'Progressive Left' has never accepted any criticism of their ideologies as legitimate or good faith.
Is it any wonder Bridge, SBI, and DEI came from Canada?
Devs and media are wondering why they're all failing and players are turning up their noses at the "The Message"
the players: "The beatings will continue until Morale Improves"
It's very important to not take the things these people say as fact. They may claim to be getting rid of DIE people/teams but if they're still practising it or running it under different names, nothing has changed.
Like IBM
They are, by and large, getting rid of DEI teams much the same way early plants got rid of symbiotic cyano-bacteria.
Very true. Net Zero Wokeness. Don't settle for less.
Remember, when Arch gets Dev on the podcast: stick, stick, and more stick.
It's the only way he will learn.
The only thing he fears.
Sure, but if he still gets more money when dev is on vs when not....
@@icarusjumped2719 Did you somehow not realise that what I am saying is that Arch will drop Dev the moment people stop donating to complain about Dev and just leave the stream instead. Make Arch choose between Dev vs. donations and he will not disappoint.
I don't think Dev fears the stick he fears it not having tits also.
indeed, stop giving arch money when he brings on dev. BAN DEV.
I love that dev is there and that the podcast doesn't turn into a giant echochamber. WHen you're on the bad side of the stick, the movement attract those who want to help, to punch up and fight injustice. The moment you get the stick, you attack peoples who love hitting weaker peoples. With a stick.
About two years ago I complained about a service and got a sassy, b_tchy response, in writing, printed on paper and sent by snail mail! I didn't think much about it, let it be and cancelled the service. Just a month ago, I got an apology letter excusing for the behaviour of the one writing the letter. Two years later.
I won't return to using the service, but still...
Good times are coming.
Good, keep your wallet full and don't reward the window lickers 😂😂😂
I get a mail every year on a debt i dont have.
All because they coudnt/woudnt allow me to cancel my payment(the site didnt work and there only responds was cancel on the site, after two weeks i just had the bank block payment)
What was the service you were complaining about?
The original version of Harry Selfridge's often bastardized quote applies to this.
"The customer is always right, in matters of taste."
Hollywoke and most of California need to remember the long lost lesson that even media they are personally incensed about, if it is what the PAYING CUSTOMER wants then that's what you make. Just like the actors/producers of old often wanted to make a arty Shakespeare interpretation, the customer would not pay to watch that but would pay to watch action or comedy shlock.
The use of stick shall continue until product improves
we gonna need a bigger stick then

"Good faith dissatisfaction" That is the absolute corporate speak for 'oh, these people are unhappy but still going to mindlessly consume our product'.
The geeks/nerds are the ones that keep these customers alive. There's a reason why the insult of "I pray your favorite hobby goes mainstream" is starting to pick up among geeks/nerds these days.
It only works for so long. Look at how non-existent American comic book sales are compared to Manga. So of course they use their Jew money to buy an Anime studio to try to ruin that as well.
its not corporate speak its woke speak. Learn their words
"toxic"
"bad faith"
"grifter"
All words sued by woke loons. If these words are uttered, that person is woke and the institution is captured.
They make a some made up combo of words which sounds like has some basis but is totally means nothing make common man says fancy.
Good faith dissatisfaction was the first thing people tried. They bought the product, they didn't like it, they told the company what they didn't like, and they were called istaphobes.
Then they created another product, and people also bought and disliked that product, and again, tried to voice their honest feelings. They were again called istaphobes.
The left and the wokist does not engage in good faith arguments. They don't engage in argumentation at all, unless that argument somehow results in them accumulating more cultural and political power. Any other "argument" they have is outright communist propagand or pure propagandistic platitudes that they have never critically examined in their lives.
@@aa-yt7wo Why do think this even matters? The Japanese anime and manga market isn't an unhealthy and corrupt western duopoly. There is actual competition and meritocracy where the customer is still king. If "they" buy an anime studio it will simply collapse, because it's a healthy market with savvy customers, not mindless consumers, which cannot be forced to consume unpopular Californian political drek.
walked away from so many beloved franchises my wallet feels stuffed. they could have had that money if they hadnt pissed me off so many times.
Agreed. I've never felt so rich before.
I have a part of my budget set aside for hobbies and gaming. Almost all gets saved or spent on something at the local cafe now.
a stuffed wallet is bad because they gonna take it away from you with taxes. In fact the left winning elections is good because they ruin the economy so no more trash. They hate trump but he made them rich enough to make all that woke trash.

Might want to stockpile apocalypse supplies in the meantime though. World's gone batty.
Here we sit, having to (metaphorically) beat companies back into engaging in plain old honest capitalism...while they shriek in horror and anguish.
Times are strange, people. Very very strange.
Plain old honest capitalism takes actual effort and they lack the people
Why stop at metaphorically? They deserve everything they wrought upon themselves.
"Good faith" = "worships what I do"
Trying to move the Overton Window in their ideal direction.
Point of clarification here; Capitalism is you give me a product or service I like, and I pay you for it. You give me a product or service I do not like, and I just won't buy it. If you give me a product or service that hurts me, insults me, destroys other things I like, or threatens me, I will come after you with the wrath of God.
I figure that's all pretty fair.

And nothing but the quaterstaff.
The truly successful people have always said "the customer is king, you must always fear and court them".
Thanks Mr. Hershey.
Which, it must be noted, is not the same thing as gaslighting the customer into believing they're always right and kowtowing to their every demand. What the customer _says_ they want and what they actually _need_ may not be the same.
Note that this doesn't excuse the company that invents customers that don't exist and proceeds to cater its products to them.

Imagine trying to make a live action Barbie tv series while directly antagonizing all the women who have fond memories of their toys, constantly telling them they need to sit down and listen to men tell them what's what for a change.
Imagine thinking that those same women would want to remain part of that audience and wouldn't immediately shittalk the hell of out "misoginists" taking over the Barbie IP and trying to brainwash them into certain behaviors.
Imagine building said tv show on the assumption that it would attract enough male viewers and those viewers would start to become Barbie fans and form a core marketbase?
Women have almost zero self awareness as a rule. They don’t recognize or care about double standards.
Jedi Outcast...I assume you meant Jedi Survivor? Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast was a blast back in the day...
'good faith dissatisfaction' = dislike things the way I, the precious media, dislike them. Perfect example, "I didn't like the Joker 2 because it didn't have enough Lady Gaga singing in it." That's a good faith dissatisfaction to them.

Cause they are getting money elsewhere now.
@@Blunthammer No, they are getting loans from elsewhere. And that is why this will break them.

But they too, will not pay, if their are no customers to affect.

Unfortunately so many people still buying Warhammer and subbing to Warhammer + despite all their woke bullshit and anti consumerism. GW needs their bud light moment in the sun.
The problem with GW is their sales model expects attrition, they constantly recruit new customers to replace the ones who leave the hobby or swap to 3rd party because of the woke BS, the endless price hikes, their awful community relations or because some new badly scribbled together rule set by an intern has at the stroke of a key rendered thousands of dollars/pounds/Euros of investment in mini's absolutely worthless. As GW target the younger demographics, they don't know any better, so you can never really hope to turn the customer base, there's always more replacements being given to intro games
This is why the Custodes thing was so good, it hit the Daily Mail, the paper read by the parents of those new recruits and ain't not Daily Mail reader warehousing there spawn at a GW games night if there's a chance they'll be brain washed into a leftie, that was the real damage and why GW got so worried it risked the new customer recuritment by gaining attention of the parents who pay for it, but it was fleeting would need to be a big scandle with longer staying power to do the bud light sort of damage
I heard it was doing poorly
A new costumer doesn't know the company is acting worse than it used to, for them it's just as is. Same goes for people who bought total war warhammer and never played Rome or medieval 2, they lack the perspective.
@@maddlarkin I enjoyed reading this reply thanks mate. Unfortunately I just torrented the Warhammer tithes tv show and Jesus Christ that was woke and boring.

@@deangoldenstar7997 I see the point you're trying to make here and I think it's somewhat correct however people do pay attention to shitty things companies are doing.

@@Sgt_Glory it's just pure trash ever since reality TV was born
"Toxic fandom" = passionate fans that want the products to be good
These companies just want everyone to be apathetic about their trash and just be mindless drones attracted to the big name brand so they can churn out the same garbage over and over again without ever trying to entertain the very audience that built them - that's why "Just consume product and get excited for next product" has become such a prominent phrase.
If these companies really want to see a toxic fandom, they need to see just how the weirdos from Tumblr and Reddit behave once they change one tiny Progressive thing they clamour for.
Applying the stick as instructed. Will continue until Dev reforms or disappears.

I was hanging out with my ex who is normie af and not at all involved in any of these ideologies and even she was saying “Yeah, everything they’re making is shit lately. I mean, I can’t even remember the movies we’ve seen this year that were good. Godzilla? (minus one) uh, Beetlejuice sucked, A Quiet Place? I know we saw more but I honestly can’t remember because they were crap”
I am an appreciator of art rather than a consumer of products, Although there has been a severe shortage of art for some time.

i'm not a conservative and i'm sick of the woke DEI pandering trash
The biggest problem imo is companies keep acquiring established IP and then changing everything about it. Instead of just releasing their own new fantasy series Amazon pays millions of dollars for the scraps of Tolkien, but then does their best to ignore everything in its lore.
Amen, brother! ❤❤❤
Do they not realize they are absolutely not essential in any way? I have a backlog of video games to play, I dont need any more games for a long time, and I dont mind starving them out. I'm currently playing snowrunner and I'm loving it. The latest dlc comes with two huge maps and four new vehicles and more things to do than you could cram into one weekend, costing a grand $7.00. Compete with that.
Back in 90s a show would not make it to live television unless it was breaking test audience expectations. Remember Tv Pilot Mondays? When on the off season networks would test out shows and if they got massive ratings they would get a spot in the coming season. Remember the test half hour of TGIF? they would save test shows at the end of the program block for new shows, and if ratings dipped they would get replaced by next week. American Television used to use a harsher version of the Weekly Shounen Jump method.
If the customer is King.... how can you not fear the King?!
Because they look at the example of the UK, where the King is a figurehead that rubber stamps the government's actions.
so apparently square enix has experienced forspoken, and have not learnt the lesson
Stick it is then
It's amazing the cognitive dissonance seen in these companies. They talk about the reaction from customers as though they were just doing what they were always doing and then suddenly they started to get these "toxic fans" as if nothing changes on their side and as if it's not a reaction to something they have done.
"You make a good product, I give you money " This is why any business that gives samples as advertising is confident
Stick, stick, stick, stick!
He who spares the Stick spoiles the producer. 😊
It's crazy to me how people think we like owe these companies our money and support or something.
They think its the social media that is driving the sales, but it's not. The products are genuinely bad because of the lack of talent. We wouldn't be complaining so much if they were good at their jobs. Entertainment has always had progressivism in it. The entertainment used to balance out the wokeness with quality content, like hiding the carrot in the potato to use an analogy.
Make what we want or go out of business. Period.
When aren't Journos upset? Along with those that whine in their favor with "You're acting no better." Or "muh both sides" to stop us from gaining leeway. Couldn't be that the outrage makes them more money.
I follow the ASoIaF community very closely and they are NOT happy with season 2 of House of the Dragon. Even George has come out to criticize it very strongly and most people agree.
Most of the issues we noticed in season 1 simply didn't become apparent to them until now. There are plenty of videos covering George's reaction to the show in his blog, so you can just search for that and you will find your answers.

I like the 'you have no power here', but like LOTR, that is mostly what the journalists say, and then cackle evilly, while we, the 'evil toxic fans', throw off our robe to the astonishment of all, point our staff(opinion) at them and say' We will draw you, as one draws poison from a wound' even as they say 'If i go [this franchise] dies!' Then we both yell and they are expelled.

House of the dragon should have been ignored the minute they swapped the Velaryon family from their intended look.
Velaryons and Targaryen’s are meant to resemble one another to a near perfect degree. It affects a crucial plot point in the story, which was promptly tossed out the window in favor of modern casting choices.
All we got were excuses though when we pointed it out, from our own side and the left, no less.
And now they’re complaining that the second season sucked?
They let the nonsense in and encouraged it by subscribing to HBO during the first season!
do not feel bad for the consoomer. they arent human.

13:31 Here's a great example of the entertainment being better in 1995. I recently looked up the scene where Scar is introduced in The Lion King to show someone an example of what a "sneering tone" looks like. As I was rewatching that scene, it struck just how tightly polished it was. Every line, both from the words spoken and the intonation, immediately characterized the characters. The dialogue was very natural as well - no awkward exposition dumps, it just literally cuts from the title screen to scar monologuing and then trading barbs with Zazu.
It also immediately sets up the core premise driving the conflict - Scar's jealousy of his brother and nephew. And it's all done very subtly and naturally.
I remember enjoying the movie as a child, but I hadn't really gone back as an adult to witness just how well executed it was.
It won awards for a reason.
Free market is ALL that matters, studios are over-complicating things. Find out what the people want and give it to them, 0 politics and ideology involved.
Yup the legacy media is powerless now, places like Epic game store is losing because they proudly display reviews from game journalist instead of users review like Steam.
Now let's take this lesson and apply it to our governments.
ALL government, just to clarify. In basically EVERY government.
I'm gonna say it, Jefferson was WRONG when he said that. Look at Donald Trump. Do you think he fears MAGA? Absolutely not. We - they - are his loyal subjects who follow his lead because he's demonstrated his capability. He fears the ones who want him down in the ground - and he FIGHTS the ones he fears.
If your government only refuses to tyrannise you out of FEAR, you need a new government. The governments we should strive for are ones who would not tyrannise us, even if we were rendered powerless to stop them. An ideal that cannot always be realised, but the one we should strive for.
The office of the store I work in has an image hung up there of two hands shaking with a caption. That caption?

It's f***ing absurd that we, the customer, have to teach corporations how capitalism is supposed to work.
Good faith dissatisfaction = shut up and consume the product, even if you don't like it, so they can push the message and pick up their pay and awards.
They're trying to piss on us while telling us it's raining.
Stick! stick! and more stick, for good measure.
It's hilarious how companies have forgotten how capitalism works, you make what people want to get their money, not make what you want and tell people it's what they want.
They should fear alienating their audience. This show doesn't run off hopes and dreams, the companies need money. From fans.
