Correct it is not dangerous to simply not recommend games, what a weird thing to be mad about
Search for a user called @legobutts on twitter & see the disgusting stuff he tweets & then say people are just making a fuss when this company employs trash like him lol
Here's what the Curator's author has to say in a pinned post, BTW:
Perhaps you should first decide whether you think there's nothing to fear about the list or you think the list is dangerous. They seem mutually exclusive to me.
Which one is it?
For the last decade we've had major videogame publications using their platform to relentlessly attack or block from exposure all the developers who refused to conform to "certain values", like Kingdom Come being called racist for refusing to put blacks in 15th-century Bohemia inside a historically-accurate videogame, or Hogwarts Legacy not even appearing in any award show because JK Rowling could make money off it.
But a single dude from Brazil makes a Curator list and all of the sudden it's "dangerous".

Yes. Exactly.

Good lord, where do people come up with these handles.

I stand by what I said, people are making a mountain on a mole hill.
The white rich people kissing tweet screams American tweeting lmao, humorous but it has no relevance.
I just did. His TL is only him complaining about transphobes, gamers telling him to cope, crying about the woke phantom and RTing cats. I really can’t see the problem.

There's much worse things he's said on there (he tweeted in 2012 'abort all jews' so he's also anti semetic) he admitted to illegally ddos a charity event that was trying to promote women indie Devs in 2014 , a real scum bag
I did not say that. You keep strawmaning this, showing you actually do not care about having a discussion. As we say in my country: take the bike.
It's right there in the sentence I quoted. Why would you claim otherwise?
Accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of strawmaning doesn't make it true.
Are studios that naive to actually think cancel culture can stop a successful game?
I don't think they have that much power in gaming.
It isn't like hollywood were you really need links to get somewhere and cancel culture can really damage your career.
Yep, these Sweet baby people are trash.
They don’t want to deal with the media storm regardless of cancel culture. Better be safe than sorry, I guess. They also have ESG goals to meet and I guess these are also easier achieved by this.
That's not the right question.
Cancel culture has been responsible for hundreds of people being fired from their jobs in the videogame industry. At that point, and because ESG scores looks at DEI parameters to determine whether or not studios/publishers get investment, they have all the power in gaming.
The right question is "do developers need bend the knee to cancel culture and the DEI inquisition if they want to avoid getting fired?" and the answer yes.
