Lemme tell you something that really grinds my gears

There's any number of queer creators being thrown off platforms for "adult content" or whatever the fuck they've made up now

But shitheel Asmongold is chugging along totally fine everywhere, despite being the biggest piece of shit
Woke up to a *whole* bunch of YouTube notifications, and yup. Predictable.

Anyways! Thanks for the additional traffic and SEO, string bean ✌️

Ubisoft having to repay cultural funds because they used GenAI in the final product would set an extremely funny legal precedent
Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization.

It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

Don't worry, it reflects the creative intent of the team

Wow, I had no idea
I mean you can barely tell
Well, all my friends bought it
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.

For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

I’m sure by now you can see the through line from COD ubiquity to the bizarre hype reels of ICE/HS repelling onto buildings in Chicago in full tactical gear to kidnap citizens, even if you refuse to look at Palestine. This is manufacturing consent. This is the Hugo Boss “cool” nazi uniforms.

I understand this is a very unpopular position to voice in games but I’ve long held it and my first GDC talk was honed in on how it dehumanizes Arabs. It’s something I’ve been trying to fight in my own work for over a decade now to very little recognition. We need to face this head on post Oct 8.

BUT we’ve pivoted too far in the opposite direction. It makes my stomach churn to see queer (usually white, but not always) trans people latch onto “Ghost” or whatever and humanize him in extensive fanfics. It’s bizarre. There is no redeeming COD/mil-sims and we need to say so as artists.

Up until this AI shit I would’ve said hey sometimes you have to make money in a shit system and gotta take the job, but at this point, why aren’t we organizing against this? It sucks that Christian fundies have forever hampered the convo around these games by framing them as “creating IRL violence”,

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

the first swastika i ever encountered was spray-painted at my elementary school

i once had a neighbour that had the confederate flag prominently displayed in one of their windows

there has always been a clear hostility to non-white people the entire time we've lived here
there's an alarming presence of neonazism in lower mainland BC, especially around the parts I live in. It's a common sight for me to walk past patches of grass with "white power" or swastikas spray painted onto the ground. this exposure not only hits close to home but deeply appreciated.
On Monday, we published this investigation into "Exiles of the Golden Age," a fascist conference in Vancouver this July.

We identified 18 of the 50+ people our photographer captured outside the venue, including small business owners and neo-Nazis.

Here's how we did it. 🧵

I’ve heard that 4 in 10 cops are planning to leave the force.

Google “40% of cops” for more info.
"Hundreds of New York City police officers are ready to leave the force in the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s (D.) election victory, with some openly weeping after the cop-hating socialist seized the city’s mayoralty earlier this month"
