I guess he was the White Power Ranger all along, huh.

The conversation is about how they’re being accused of forcing studios to make things diverse. What David Bedard said ties into the official quote. Consultations on character accuracy IS part of their services and he brings marginalized people up specifically to counter the idea that better marginalized characters…

At the end of the day it seems like both sides are talking about the same thing. SBI’s right wing critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it, but says that it isn’t forced because including DEI characters is an integrated part of a great…

I think you’re right. SBI provides a service to interested parties and takes all the blame for being a niche service. Script doctors and editors are similar, but it seems like the whole point of SBI is to take someone else’s already-written work, and weed out any red flags that the original writer unintentionally or…

critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it

“SBI pretty much admits to it, but says that it isn’t forced because including DEI characters is an integrated part of a great storytelling experience.”’

My favorite qoute about being “woke” came from Howard Stern of all people, and I’ll all for it:

“At the end of the day it seems like both sides are talking about the same thing. SBI’s right wing critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it”

Did we read the same article because they didn’t admit to that at all? They said that the DEI elements…

No, what SBI said is that companies come to them for an extra polish, as well as consultation for their already existing characters to see if they read properly (this even includes a finnish company like Remedy checking that their white male american character consistently comes across as intended)

Like many, I loved this game and FF7 as a kid. I hate what was done with FF7 - splitting the game into three parts and changing the game mechanics. Not to mention taking so long to release the game - it will take over a decade for the game to come out in its entirety from initial announcement.

Wendy’s seems not to realize that consistency is an important reason people buy fast food from a recognizable brand. Consistency in food quality (ideally good, but even consistently not-terrible), sure. Also price, having the feeling you’re not being jerked around or getting ripped off.

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.

I’d never heard that one, I like it way better though.  The one I was familiar with was just meant to be a commentary on how terrible EA was when it came to studios they bought out.  Whenever I’d read about a studio being bought by EA in a magazine, I’d just be sad because I knew that was the end for them.

Even if she wins (which is far from certain), there is no court in the US which can force them to hire or cast her in a future role.

Tell me, which government agency is Lucasfilms part of?

lol. somehow contracted covid after getting the vaccine... Do you not realize that vaccines aren’t a force field? They’re designed to get your body to quickly produce anti-bodies to stop a virus from getting to full strength. Anybody with the vaccine that still gets symptoms from Covid, would have had far worse…

Your references to the Twitter files, “transgenderism” (lol), CIA bribes and assassinations, Wikileaks, Fauci, and Wuhan suggest you are pretty, pretty deep down the hole. Good luck to you and everyone in your life supporting you through this.

JC, there’s no escape of reading dumb shit everyday in this world. Fuck internet.

I acknowledge VII’s impact on the series as well as the fact that it was the first game in the series to be experienced by most...but from a story telling perspective it has nothing on the masterpiece that is VI, with VII being a confusing mess in comparison. I’ve played the vast majority of the FF games and VII does…
