00:00

what's up everyone it's IND demion and

00:01

there's a massive culture War battle

00:03

currently raging across various

00:05

platforms and it's becoming clear as day

00:08

that the consumers that actually keep

00:10

the game industry up float are fighting

00:12

back and the people who want to ruin our

00:14

favorite hobby are not pleased at all

00:16

and they're demanding that these

00:17

individuals be silenced there's quite a

00:20

bit to go over so let's get to it this

00:23

all started because a user on Steam

00:25

decided to release a curator which if

00:27

you don't know what those are they're

00:28

essentially filter tools that you can

00:30

use to find things more effectively on

00:32

Steam like you could have a curator that

00:34

automatically Combs through steam's

00:36

thousands of games and looks for Souls

00:38

likes or jrpgs you get the idea it's a

00:41

handy tool and it makes life for many

00:43

much easier it can also be used to

00:45

compile list of games that have other

00:47

things in common besides genre and this

00:49

curator tool in question compiles all

00:51

the games that sweet baby Inc has worked

00:53

on into one handy comprehensive list

00:56

this has of course pissed off a few

00:58

people who work it sweet baby but let's

01:01

dial back a second here since not

01:03

everyone knows who or what sweet baby

01:05

even is to quickly give you the lore

01:07

surrounding them sweet baby is a

01:09

consulting firm that works primarily on

01:11

video games and their sole mission is to

01:13

bring inclusivity and diversity into the

01:16

games that they work on by handling

01:18

things from character interactions

01:20

dialogue how concepts are presented and

01:22

so on basically when a company doesn't

01:24

know how to properly convey a culture or

01:27

the Small Things included with a

01:28

character so they don't end up making

01:30

something racist by accident they call

01:33

these consulting firms to ensure they

01:35

don't do things in a toned deaf way

01:37

obviously from hearing that you might

01:39

well think that doesn't sound too bad

01:41

right well that's of course the opposite

01:43

of what's Happening Here seeing as how

01:46

pretty much every game that sweet baby

01:47

has touched has been to varying degrees

01:50

made worse with their involvement the

01:52

latest case would of course be Suicide

01:54

Squad kill the Justice League which if

01:56

you compare that game to the previous

01:58

ones is attached to that being of course

02:00

the Batman Arkham games the tonal

02:03

differences not to mention how

02:04

characters are treated couldn't be any

02:07

more different and whenever sweet baby

02:09

gets involved it becomes evidently clear

02:12

that these products suddenly without

02:14

question give favorable care to any

02:16

character that isn't a straight white

02:18

male Batman and Arkham compared to Squad

02:21

is of course one really good example

02:24

however the other one that disappointed

02:25

me greatly was how Peter Parker was

02:27

treated from Spider-Man 2018 compared to

02:30

the most recent game in the 2018 game

02:33

which had no sweet baby involvement to

02:35

my knowledge anyway Peter Parker was an

02:37

extremely capable heroic young man and I

02:40

would argue that version of Peter and

02:42

Spider-Man to be an incredible depiction

02:44

of what a modern-day Spiderman should be

02:47

so much so that I honestly wish the MCU

02:50

Spider-Man was more like that Spidey in

02:52

the 2018 Insomniac game then when you

02:55

play Spider-Man 2 suddenly Peter seems

02:58

weaker and not as capable as a hero

03:00

seemingly out of nowhere and Miles

03:02

Morales who is clearly a person of color

03:05

starts to quickly overshadow Peter and

03:08

by the end of Spider-Man 2 miles is

03:10

confirmed by Insomniac to be the main

03:12

Spider-Man going forward which if you've

03:15

played the Insomniac Games miles being

03:17

the main character doesn't make really

03:19

any sense at all especially considering

03:22

that the main villains of the next

03:24

inevitable Spider-Man game will

03:26

obviously be Green Goblin and Dr Octopus

03:29

and F who played these games would know

03:31

that Miles has no personal connection to

03:34

either of these villains yet of course

03:36

Peter obviously does but that doesn't

03:38

matter because Peter Parker represents

03:41

everything sweet baby and their

03:42

Consultants actively work to undermine

03:44

or ruin in their entirety so this

03:47

company has essentially made video games

03:49

across the board more inclusive but

03:51

retroactively has also made every single

03:53

title they've touched worse because of

03:55

their involvement and this steam curator

03:57

tool compiles a list of every game that

04:00

has had sweet baby involved here I'll

04:02

show you some of the games as you can

04:03

see they've worked on quite a few AAA

04:06

titles already including the son

04:08

Spider-Man games Ratchet and Clank which

04:10

of course introduced rivet who outshines

04:12

ratchet quite often in that game because

04:14

she's a girl so that's a part of their

04:15

objective too and interestingly enough

04:18

you'll also notice quite a few games

04:20

that have either not resonated with fans

04:22

such as Starfield or games that have

04:24

outright bombed and closed Studios like

04:26

for spoken in Saints Row even other DC

04:29

games that got terrible receptions like

04:30

Gotham Knights have also been worked on

04:33

by sweet baby as well which is a game

04:35

that felt like a pale imitation of the

04:37

Batman Arkham series and went out of its

04:39

way to make sure that you knew that

04:41

Nightwing and Robin are not straight

04:43

because ESG reasons as you can see this

04:47

tool is also gaining a lot of steam no

04:49

pun intended in terms of followers last

04:52

night it was around 9,000 follows now as

04:54

the making of this video it's around

04:56

24,000 and as you can see in real time

04:59

here as I refresh the page over and over

05:01

again the number of follows is steadily

05:04

increasing at a healthy rate so this

05:06

curator tool is becoming quickly popular

05:08

and it's clear fans are happy that it

05:10

exists of course the people at Sweet

05:12

Baby think its existence is harmful and

05:15

actively want it removed and are

05:17

resorting to trying to strong arm steam

05:19

into Banning the user in question and if

05:22

that were to happen Not only would this

05:23

user lose their curator tool but access

05:26

to their entire library of games on

05:28

Steam as well so what are these sweet

05:31

baby boys and girls saying exactly well

05:34

before I do that just a reminder don't

05:36

harass these people let's just analyze

05:38

and look over what they're doing and to

05:40

be frank with you guys these sweet baby

05:42

employees are doing more damage

05:44

themselves by bringing attention to this

05:46

to begin with but anyway one of these

05:48

Consultants is someone named Chris

05:50

Kindred who here as you can see tells

05:52

their thousands of followers to report

05:54

this tool and they also made it apparent

05:57

here that they're hoping it works so

05:58

that this user user loses their game

06:00

Library access Kindred is basically

06:04

jangling keys in front of their

06:05

followers to mass harass and report

06:07

someone that they don't agree with which

06:10

is technically against the terms of

06:11

service on Twitter and that's why I tell

06:14

you to not harass these people because

06:16

we cannot stoop to their level there's

06:18

also another sweet Bing Bong baby here

06:21

whose username is Lego butts that name

06:23

might not be familiar to many of you but

06:25

let me catch you up on some lore shall I

06:28

so thanks to grum over on Twitter he's

06:30

the guy who led the original team that

06:32

made World of Warcraft produced Diablo

06:34

II in Starcraft and more well he's on

06:36

our side fellas he thinks sweet baby's a

06:38

cancer as well so he's been calling out

06:40

all of these people who have all to

06:42

varying degrees locked their replies or

06:45

accounts entirely but don't worry I got

06:47

all the receipts already fellas we're

06:49

good over here anyway back to Lego butts

06:52

they work for sweet baby as well and

06:54

they're of course echoing what that

06:56

Kindred person said and wants the

06:57

curator to gone and the user banned on

07:00

Steam for simply making a curator tool

07:03

that does what it's said to do however

07:05

it turns out Lego butts is a veteran of

07:08

the gamergate era as thanks to Grumps so

07:12

back in February 2014 people like Lego

07:14

bots who's embed with people like Zoe

07:16

Quinn who if you know anything about

07:18

gamergate Zoe Quinn is an Infamous

07:20

figure during this time she's a raging

07:23

feminist who actually through

07:25

accusations that weren't true ended up

07:27

getting a game developer to how do I see

07:29

this on YouTube well they un alive

07:31

themselves because of her and she has

07:33

been known to use her influence to get

07:35

positive reviews on stuff she's worked

07:37

on too so back in 2014 Zoe Quinn along

07:40

with this Lego buts user launched a Dos

07:43

attack against a site they didn't agree

07:45

with called the find young capitalists

07:47

which was a targeted attack that brought

07:49

the site down to its knees because

07:51

people like Quinn and Lego didn't agree

07:53

with them and Zoe Quinn was even quoted

07:55

saying when this happened at Lego butts

07:57

oops we dos something on accident then

08:00

Quinn said I like how a conversation

08:02

between me and Lego butts resulted in

08:04

accidentally killing an exploitative

08:06

startups website so who are these young

08:09

capitalists exactly apparently they were

08:11

a charity that was working to get women

08:13

to work in video games and through

08:16

sponsors and charity they would create

08:17

games with the goal of promoting women

08:19

for whatever reason Zoe Quinn Lego butts

08:22

didn't want this to go through and

08:24

though those tweets are still available

08:25

on Twitter as of the making of this

08:27

video anyway they decided to dock a

08:29

charity which resulted in that charity

08:31

losing $10,000 in sponsors due to those

08:34

companies pulling out due to the docks

08:36

and Lego buts went out of their way to

08:38

dox people who worked with this charity

08:40

because they wanted to I'll link a

08:42

Reddit thread in the description if you

08:44

want to go over yourself since it's a

08:47

lot and obviously since I don't want

08:48

this video to be like an hour long I

08:50

won't delve too deep into it but the

08:53

point here is that people like Lego

08:54

butts are intrinsically tied to the

08:56

gamergate era and they now work as a

08:58

consultant with sweet baby ink so this

09:01

is someone who's been heavily involved

09:03

with suppressing free speech and

09:04

enforcing ideological ideas for a long

09:07

time over 10 years at least at this

09:08

point anyway so here's what Lego butts

09:11

had to say concerning this curator tool

09:12

that exposes them again all from Twitter

09:15

so let's read together which listen I'm

09:17

not sure who uses curator list my guess

09:19

is it's people who would never ever buy

09:21

the games any of us work on except they

09:23

do and don't list those particular games

09:25

here but there's just nothing preventing

09:27

this even though it's clearly not

09:29

curators are for it's doubled in

09:31

followers overnight and we get to see

09:33

exactly what people are describing it as

09:35

a way to avoid inclusivity they're just

09:37

saying it and there's no one challenging

09:39

them that isn't a complaint it's just a

09:41

fact and I can't stay quiet about it nor

09:43

should I have to for example at steam

09:46

doesn't have guidelines for curators as

09:48

far as I can tell that would prevent

09:49

someone from starting a curation group

09:51

that focuses on say sweet baby Inc and

09:54

warns people to not buy games they're

09:55

associated with which could just list

09:58

any game at all anyway remember that

10:00

these people do exist and while ignoring

10:01

it goes a very long way boosting those

10:03

you know are affected and targeted is

10:05

the other side of it that needs to also

10:07

happen not even sweet baby just everyone

10:10

existing that they are angry at for

10:11

existing it's pretty funny to see a note

10:14

on my steam curator post I guess they

10:16

need to defend themselves because

10:17

they're completely wrong about

10:18

everything sweet baby or any narrative

10:20

team does and have no interest in

10:22

finding out Lego butts is clearly

10:24

attempting to save face and try to paint

10:27

sweet baby as this righteous cause but

10:29

we know that's anything but the case in

10:31

reality the truth is that everything

10:33

sweet baby has touched has been ruined

10:35

or downright destroyed and it's obvious

10:37

that when they are involved with

10:39

something things can even get so bad

10:41

that they actually end up closing shop

10:44

like with fores spoken or Saints Row

10:46

which are two games whose Studios Clos

10:47

down to how poorly they sold and

10:49

reviewed of course users on Twitter then

10:52

began replying to these consultants and

10:54

they had some good things to say like

10:55

this person for example I'm confused why

10:58

would this be a problem no matter what

11:00

your thoughts are I don't see why it

11:01

shouldn't be allowed for a curator to

11:03

identify games with some specific

11:04

companies involved I'm sure other cators

11:07

do similar things for different reasons

11:09

cringe I thought you were proud of your

11:11

work why hide it this one especially

11:14

resonated with me cuz it's true if a

11:16

consulting firm like this is so proud of

11:18

their work on the video games that they

11:20

create why wouldn't they want their work

11:22

to be more publicly known the only

11:24

reason why you wouldn't want your work

11:26

to be known is because you know deep

11:28

down in your heart part that what you're

11:29

doing is disingenuous and actively Works

11:33

to ruin the products you're involved

11:35

with there simply can't be any other

11:37

reason and that's what many users are

11:40

clearly pushing back against everyone is

11:42

tired and annoyed of their favorite

11:44

games getting destroyed like this time

11:46

and again all I wanted was great

11:48

Spider-Man games that didn't sideline

11:50

Peter Parker or make him seem pathetic

11:53

yet as soon as we baby got involved with

11:55

Spider-Man it was obvious that anyone

11:57

who is white straight or male must be

11:59

ruined to make way for the new age of

12:02

progress in their minds I guess and

12:04

we're clearly all tired of it and it's

12:06

clear that when consumers voice their

12:08

opinions they just get attacked and

12:10

belittled constantly so the only real

12:12

course of action that will actually

12:14

change things is for consumers to vote

12:16

with their wallets which is clearly what

12:18

they've been doing and remember that

12:20

stuff like Saints Row or for spoken

12:22

failed and imploded long before anyone

12:24

even knew what sweet baby even was at

12:26

the time those games were not boy Ed

12:29

because of these Consultants being

12:30

involved as like I said their name in

12:33

existence was largely unknown at the

12:35

time but it was clear that the messages

12:37

and handling of these games were

12:38

considered so poor that users rejected

12:41

them anyway so to say that players

12:43

rejected games like those in order to

12:45

stick a middle finger to this consulting

12:47

firm when again no one really knew they

12:50

existed during those game's releases is

12:53

just not true at all but now of course

12:55

we've been made more aware and that

12:57

worries them and they lik are angry cuz

13:00

now their name is being attached to

13:01

something that will instantly Mark those

13:03

games for failure and if the hard work

13:05

of the games made are rejected and fail

13:08

because of sweet baby's involvement then

13:10

obviously going forward less Studios or

13:12

Publishers would want to actively work

13:14

with sweet babies so their games aren't

13:16

marked and rejected in a mass exodus by

13:18

Future fans but really that isn't the

13:21

fault of the fans or this curator tool

13:24

either because sweet baby could have

13:26

been a positive change in the games that

13:28

they work on but it's clear that their

13:30

ideology and group Collective mindset is

13:32

anything but what fans want in their

13:34

games so really if these people are mad

13:37

about this they can't blame anyone but

13:40

themselves because I didn't tell these

13:42

Consultants to do what they did nor did

13:44

any of you watching why is it our fault

13:47

that these Consultants have ruined so

13:48

many great franchises already then of

13:50

course the question becomes well what do

13:52

they have to do in the future then of

13:54

course this consulting firm will want to

13:56

keep getting paid and exist but if they

13:58

their name being tied to a project will

14:00

instantly flag it for Mass rejection

14:02

what do they do now the likely scenario

14:05

is they work on future projects in an

14:07

uncredited fashion or they get listed in

14:10

the credits of future projects with

14:12

different names like instead of the

14:13

credits of a game just saying sweet baby

14:15

in it it'll just say consultants and a

14:18

name or something like that but I would

14:20

argue going forward now that people are

14:22

hyper aware to the existence of this

14:24

group and every single game being made

14:26

now especially those of Western Studios

14:28

will have their credits and development

14:30

examined with a surgical lens and every

14:33

single game being made will be examined

14:35

and studied by literally thousands of

14:37

people to ensure each game made is not

14:40

stained with the mark of the stinky poor

14:43

baby and their woke consultants and

14:45

maybe even then they'll just forgo their

14:47

name being attached to anything and will

14:50

simply work as an invisible Boogeyman in

14:52

the industry going forward but then

14:54

whenever a game comes out and the

14:56

writing seems off or the characters

14:58

especially especially straight white

14:59

ones start to feel as if they're being

15:01

undermined players will likely then

15:03

collectively start theorizing if the

15:05

game they're playing has been marked so

15:07

really there's no realistic way that

15:10

sweet baby in my opinion will be able to

15:12

operate going forward without their

15:14

existence being called out constantly

15:16

and if they truly believe they can

15:18

Strongarm the industry into parading

15:20

around while being attached to them then

15:21

we're going to see more Studios close

15:24

we'll have more massive failures and

15:26

franchises being destroyed and then some

15:28

in the future because at this point the

15:30

only way to rid the industry of a cancer

15:32

like this is by starving it and propping

15:35

it up for all to see it does break my

15:37

heart that The Rock stad I used to love

15:39

has been reduced to a sniveling pile of

15:41

disappointment in ashes like there was

15:43

this article from Paul tassi about

15:45

suicide squad recently titled it no

15:47

longer seems possible Suicide Squad will

15:49

last the year I mean just reading what

15:52

Paul says here is brutal he said and I

15:53

quote I have never seen a game with this

15:56

much time invested with this much money

15:58

invested from from such a talented

15:59

developer self-destruct this quickly and

16:02

now things have gotten so bad with

16:03

Suicide Squad that it no longer feels

16:05

possible that the game will get out the

16:07

year of content it has already announced

16:09

for the game as Warner Bros does not

16:11

seem like a company that is in any mood

16:13

to throw good money after bad reviews

16:16

and they've already commented that the

16:17

game has performed below its

16:19

expectations which has set them up for a

16:21

tough year in their gaming division

16:23

Suicide Squad did not debut well on PC

16:25

or Xbox to start with as the game was

16:27

doing half of Marvel's event debut

16:29

numbers on Steam and it never got higher

16:31

than top 20 on Xbox it did get to number

16:34

one on PlayStation for a time but after

16:35

a short while fell out of the top 10

16:37

entirely and we don't know where it is

16:39

now but after a month things are just

16:42

Bleak I haven't seen Suicide Squad

16:44

inside Xbox's top 50 for a week at least

16:47

and now on Steam which yes should be a

16:49

solid place to play the game I have 60

16:52

hours in there now has hard to believe

16:54

player counts the game peaked at just

16:57

593 players yesterday an hour ago there

17:00

were just 287 players online reviews

17:03

remain 80% positive but it simply

17:05

doesn't matter it's an utter ghost town

17:08

I did not like suicide squad much at

17:10

launch I still think it's full of

17:11

massive problems but I did enjoy making

17:13

builds and moment to moment gameplay

17:15

over time I would like more characters

17:17

more missions and course correction from

17:19

what's gone wrong but this game is

17:21

performing badly at a level RAR scen and

17:23

it does not at all seem like this is

17:25

going to work and I fear about future

17:27

layouts at Rock St given recent industry

17:29

Trends and just how poorly this has gone

17:31

it's a brutal Saga and it may be about

17:33

to get worse end quote and as we've seen

17:35

with the layoffs in the industry which

17:37

are coming pretty much daily at this

17:38

point I don't think it's a matter of if

17:40

but when Rock Steady gets hit with major

17:42

layoffs and I wouldn't be surprised if

17:44

by the end of this year that the name

17:46

Rocksteady ends up ceasing to exist

17:48

entirely and it's not just because Squad

17:50

is live service which is a dying genre

17:52

already but that it like many other

17:54

games I've shown have been marked with

17:56

the stink of the sweet baby and it's

17:58

proof that now going forward if you want

18:00

to push identity politics and nonsense

18:02

like this you're probably going to fail

18:04

I truly do think that we're seeing a

18:06

turning point in the industry and the

18:07

culture war in general right now I think

18:10

we're going to see the entire industry

18:11

changing its tune and realizing that

18:13

this moronic push for these ideas are

18:15

going nowhere but a race to the bottom

18:17

of the barrel and I think what these

18:19

sweet baby Consultants are trying to do

18:21

won't work and will just result in the

18:23

stzen effect which just means more

18:26

people will become aware and support

18:28

this curator tool and actually by

18:30

attempting to silence this user and the

18:32

tool in question these stink sweet

18:34

babies have just exposed themselves to

18:36

an even greater audience than they

18:38

normally were already so they screwed

18:40

themselves over and kind of made it

18:42

worse for themselves also in terms of

18:44

those Consultants attacking that user

18:46

this person said it best this is

18:48

targeted harassment by the way and

18:50

they're right if they're actively trying

18:52

to send a mob to strong arm a platform

18:54

into silencing or Banning someone that's

18:56

harassment bullying and and against the

18:58

terms of service but it's not surprising

19:01

considering people like this Lego butd

19:03

person has a history of doxing bullying

19:05

and using influence to silence others

19:08

but I hope what this video has done has

19:09

shown you to not be silent don't be

19:13

afraid and don't ever think you're not

19:14

good enough to speak on something or

19:16

stand up to someone that's how the

19:18

bullies win and I just want you to know

19:19

that I stand with the people against

19:21

these Fanatics we're stronger together

19:23

and we can change things through talking

19:25

to each other and by being positive and

19:27

helping one another let's never stoop to

19:29

their level after all that's what they

19:31

want us to do but we're better than that

19:33

aren't we and finally just to really

19:36

drive this home I don't think that

19:37

inclusivity is a bad thing in video

19:40

games but it's very clearly being used

19:42

by people like the stinky babies to ruin

19:45

this industry for their own reasons I

19:47

think it's okay to want representation

19:49

but it should never come at the cost of

19:51

belittling or ruining another group in

19:54

order to make it happen and I think

19:56

that's really what is the core of this

19:57

fight anyway and it's very obvious that

19:59

the only real reason these Consultants

20:01

are mad are because they will not be

20:03

able to operate at the same capacity

20:05

that they used to and are likely fearful

20:08

that this very public backlash against

20:10

them during an era of layoffs mind you

20:12

is quite simply the worst timing

20:14

possible for someone like sweet baby

20:16

because of these Studios and Publishers

20:18

are already slashing so many jobs due to

20:21

mismanagement bloat live service

20:23

failures and low sales what competent

20:26

company will look at the track record

20:28

and built in disdain of a Consulting

20:30

Group like this and genuinely think

20:32

including their name attached to one of

20:34

their future projects is a good idea and

20:37

like I said if what needs to happen to

20:39

change things is to burn everything to

20:41

the ground to start a new it's very

20:43

clear that consumers and even the

20:46

executives in charge of big IP are

20:48

willing to do just that it's a losing

20:50

War and the consumers will win this

20:53

regardless you never attack your

20:55

audience like this and sweet baby like

20:57

many others before them are learning the

20:59

hard way but maybe that's a good thing

21:01

because this needs to change and if it

21:03

means by burning it all to the ground it

21:05

looks like that's what's going to happen

21:07

whether any of us want it to happen or

21:09

not so thanks for watching subscribe

21:13
