How the panel was pushing back on blabs on the DEI thing in helldivers is crazy. Removing Male and Female and swapping in type A type B is 100% a form of DEI.
TBF, Elden Ring also has Type A and Type B and it's also one of the greatest games ever made. The idea is DEI shouldn't deter your overall game experience and should not be something in your face constantly like say Dragon Age: The Veilguard for example.
I pulled over from driving my rig to back Blabs regarding Helldivers 2. If it doesn't occur naturally in life or language, it's woke, and DEI. Just use natural language, create engaging moments, and make them fun. It's so simple, yet people are so stupid. Terraria and Palworld collab is live now btw.
Body Type A and B existed long before DEI or Woke were a known thing. DEI is when they focus on those aspects before gameplay and story. When their story is built around "Ok, we need 2 black characters, 3 transams. I guess there's a white dude or chick named Ray." You see it all the time. A game is announced and/or the first articles about it and the first thing they talk about is the character's gender, color, race, bedroom preferences, etc. A game simply using Type A or B (or 1 or 2) body types and saying none of the things I mentioned above is not Woke or DEI. Often it's just to avoid UI issues.
"I don't care about type A or type B body type if it doesn't have any impact on the gameplay loop" has to be one of the most consoomer takes I've heard in a long time.
And it allows the people behind DEI to get what they want. They outrage us with the more extreme stuff to distract from the more subtle things and people end up allowing stuff like this because they think it's okay if it's not the extreme stuff. The frog keeps getting boiled and people are proving it's working when arguing "It's not that bad as it doesn't affect the gameplay experience".
You haven't played video games for very long. Type A or B existed long before DEI or woke. Tons of Japanese games had it and Asian games in general. It takes up less space and is readable when the button or UI is generally small.
@@covahredro8370 No it isn't. It did affect the gameplay. It sucked. DEI is when they focus on those aspects before gameplay and story.

Wait, none of you have ever heard of Jazz Jackrabbit? It was one of a few platformers I played a lot as a kid. I also loved Bucky O'Hare, another game about a green, blaster-wielding rabbit.
Have to agree with Blabs here. If it is such a minor thing with zero effect on gameplay, why was there a need to change it in the first place? Why didn't we apply the same rules on those who pushed for these changes that we are now reacting to if it was so insignificant? And we are supposed to accept the change as the new status quo without questions? Sorry, but no, that's exactly how they get an in into X, Y or Z. Start small and slowly escalate. Borderlands 3 forums threatened bans for misgendering an IN-GAME character (FL4K). We've been seeing this strategy in action for the past decade+. It's a symptom, which if left unattended, can get out of hand easily. So pointing it out is not a bad thing.
Stop battering Blabs about what she's trying to say, she is right. Don't argue that "oh it doesn't affect the gameplay" then why change it from male and female options to begin with? The fact that it has that pretty much just tells you that there's still nonsense in there. If you truly want to take games back that means making no exceptions and rejecting even the faintest whiff of this absurdity. Or rather, we could simplify it as: it's a modern Sony property, therefore it will have some DEI infused in it no matter how small. If it's a game with a character creator it must have male and female options and not this "type A and type B" BS. Otherwise it't not properly "rejecting DEI" as you claim. I know we want some victories but don't let that make you celebrate victories that aren't there yet.
@EremitaJ 💯 If you give these people an inch, they will take a mile. Don't allow the slightest wiff of their dog pile to exist. As Gandalf said, " You cannot pass! You shall go no further!"
UHF has been my long term commitment movie. I saw it at the theater, got the VHS, Then the Laserdisc, then the DVD, then the Blu-ray and now I have the 4K. So yeah, everyone should see it if you like Al or his awesome sense of humor.
1:47:00 The best way to illustrate what's being said here is basically that there's a difference between politics in art and art that has politics inserted into it.
LOL I didn’t hear any of these creators wanting a class action against BetterHeath or that scam lords/ladies title thing. We barely heard any of them even mention the FTC going after Betterhelp. But we hear the “poor fans” approach as soon as one of these scams cheated them. On a side note, maybe Legal Eagle will actually get into a courtroom? Or likely not.
Why? There's proof honey is spyware and what they're doing is scummy to content creators and they dont even give us the best discounts. So why again is he suing Honey bad?
I'm with Blabs, she is 110% correct. It's subtle wokery, and it's got to go. A and B type bodies are DEI. Also, it isn't "what is DEI to you", it has an objective definition. It's strange for people to be like "Oh yeah, get woke out of games" then say "Oh well, I like that game, and it isn't THAT big of a deal". That's mealy mouthed hypocrisy. Also, the FF7 comparison was pure cope.
I don't think I'll ever post content videos over on X/Twitter. I can't afford to be throwing money at premium subscriptions right now when I'm nowhere near big enough to get any payback from the algorithm boost. Elon might want to create an everything app, but the problem I see with that idea is that it's very difficult to do everything well. X/Twitter is going to have trouble competing with the platforms which already do certain things well, like video. I don't watch videos/interviews on X unless they're short. I don't browse specifically for videos on X. It's just not efficient compared to video-only platforms.
Hold on... which website are guys using for those release dates? Condition Zero came out in march! It was leaked in january... And apparently google says that Mech Platoon is november, while Vanishing Point is december... Something ain't right with that list.
I have to agree with Blabs regarding shrimp. The hour of the day doesn't matter, if you're hungry for a particular food, that's the right time to eat some. Better to eat it when you want it, than to have it go to waste.
Uncommon, but not rare, Blabs W with helldivers 2 being woke. It absolutely is. Not to mention Sony's meddling and the 'problem folk' that are still employed at arrowhead. As such, I have no difficulty continuing to not give them money.
I just have to, once again, express my frustration at Blabs and her attitude. It's one thing to make jabs in jest or to joke about opinions, but another to criticize others and mock them, or an idea, simply because it's something you personally find different/funny. Shrimp for breakfast is weird, but fine you can live your life however you want. Acting like 10am is not breakfast time? That's almost universally contested. Restaurants generally keep breakfast open until about 11 am. (Yes these are silly things, but silly little things add up) Regardless, the way Blabs laughs and cuts people off when making objectively and purposely irritating statements, like "yeah, mhmm, you're weird for not liking what I like" is just off-putting and annoying. Picking obscure or unknown games for gaming history is silly, it was funny but is getting old. Generally it is getting harder to put up with her. It's not cute, and it's not funny. For the record I do not hate her, but she's making it more and more difficult to watch the show in peace.
I do love how there was the whole you need a psn account to play helldivers outrage. And when it was walked back but the game on pc was made unavailable to the countries that didnt have psn access. People celebrated it as a win and are still praising the game.
If the us g ov is so concerned about c hina, why do they allow i mporting and a merican companies to do b usiness with them? The vast majority of things s old are made in c hina.
Can you not laugh ridiculously at animal torture and death. I watch this podcast to chill down and relax I don’t wanna hear about animal deaths let alone make jokes of it I just feel depressed now
if they reject dei why do they hired a ton of blue hair people that cant fix the game for the past 6-8 months without breaking the rest of it hum i wonder... Also ALL the npc in the ship are really really dark skinned not a single white person in it.... So yeah tell me you didn't but there is the facts showing the opposite.

Blabs is a woman. You can't expect any actual reason out of her.
It's because they're ok with it as long as it's done subtly

@@soumakbasumallik2399 DEI is intrusive by its nature. The whole point is to check off boxes and demand certain types of people and ideas be included.
As a software engineer, type A and B sounds exactly like variable or class names in programming LOL.

Jazz Jackrabbit never heard of it, but I about Bucky O'Hare, at least the cartoon show.
Type A and Type B were used by FromSoft even as far back as Demon Souls on the ps3
I do not own the 2012 Remake of NFL Blitz and I am offended that Blabs thought would play that filth!

Great Stream. Life Hack If you wrap shrimp in bacon, it then becomes a breakfast food, so go eat a sandwich and take a nap.
For ages Asian culture wasn't kind to cats, dogs and other pet animals. In fact they were/are often a food source.

Not really. It’s a pretty bad take. It’s not even type a or b body type and she’s making assumptions.
