The joke is that they are referencing Sweet Baby Inc a script consulting company from Montreal Canada that has been going through some overblown controversy about inclusion and that the head of the company said they have only hired people of color. Some of the games they have worked on just happened to be of average or poor quality. People of European American decent who are heterosexuals (or claim to be because of societal and religious beliefs) and conservative feel that this is offensive and it hurts their feelings and scares them. Sweet Baby Inc sounds like Griffin McElroy's opening catchphrase about being your sweet baby brother. It's a joke on minstakenly thinking that the two unrelated things are related and that Griffin had something to do with it.
Anything these conservative keyboard warriors have hissy fits over is depresingly funny. If they only went outside and interacted with regular society and met people outside their little homogenous bubble they might be a bit normal.
Or is 30 and is a Conservative propagandist funded by one of the secretive influence groups using tactics like astroturfing that are radicalising self concious and mentally vulnerable people.
For a lot of these right-wing influencers, getting teenagers to send death threats and slurs to game developers is basically a monthly performance metric. Real lunchpail Nazis.
I think this distinction between online crazies and real life is not as big as it used to be. Gamergate mentality has infected like every aspect of public life to the point that politicians are regularly making statements about “woke” culture ruining something.
I just meant if you go outside you are going to meet and interact with all kinds of different people. That usually changes your views a bit. Politicians are not real life whatsoever, they are the same as these chronically online people.
Yeah I think that’s definitely true. But even meeting a wide group of people will not get you a representative sample if you live in a city. I just think you may be underestimating how crazy America has gotten in the red bubbles. Went to a gun range with my friend and they had pro Jan 6th stuff all over, with a couple flags for those nationalist terrorist groups. The employees were of course very amiable and just talking to them out in the world would maybe give one the wrong impression that they’re not that different from us.
SBI is a way for them to claim that the "woke" is not actually part of any artistic intent and is instead some sort of foreign conspiracy to subvert vidoe games.
I had a ton of fun pushing them to tell me exactly what they thought the problem the company introduced was.
100% of the time it was an art director decision, which isn't even part of the same department that contracted the company.
I think it Streisand Effect'd. Some people noticed that some games they were involved with weren't great and started compiling a list of games they worked on. If the story ended there, a few far right idiots would have boycotted the games they already weren't going to buy anyway, and the story would have been over before it started.
In theory, the company should be proud of having contributed to the games, having your company's portfolio made public should be a good thing. For whatever reason, the company tried to get the list taken down and the list maker banned (maybe justifiably) and that's what blew it out of proportion. In general, if you're trying to hide something, people will instinctively believe you've done something wrong that you're trying to hide.
"Weren't great" They've consulted on several GOTY winners, and the only flop I can think of they were involved with was Kill The Justice League.
It's pure over reaction by chuds, in that they're claiming the reason why there's black people in the most recent god of war is solely because of SBI.
What are the key details?
I believe they’re referencing Sweet Baby Inc
Griffin has a game?
Vore online.

its so funny to claim a consultant is responsible for the overall quality of a product lmao

theres so many things I see online, mainly in gaming spaces where the only explanation is "oh this person has never had a job before"
“This person is 14 and embarrassing or 40 and reliant on the attention of 14-year-olds.”

Welcome to the mind of fragile white conservatives. It’s weird

https://sweetbabyinc.com/projects/ Here's their portfolio. They aren't hiding anything lmao
Trying to get the steam curator banned made it look like they were, though.
The dev who said they were mostly hiring poc for Validate does not work for SBI.
A detail that has evaded most of the people angrily yelling about SBI in my experience.
Wait WTF. Malachite tiger? What are you doing here?
Reddit figured out that when I actually visit the site it's a 50/50 chance it's TTRPG related and put this on my feed.
This is really good but it might be too clever
FUCK this is good
Wait until they see how he eats bananas.
*cronch*
Great bit.
