Wow. They got the department of homeland security defending sbi. What a load of horse dung.
See, this is the kind of thing that really pisses me off.
Unlike gamergate, which I did not pay any attention to during its occurrence (and I still don't really know what it is now), I have seen pretty much all of what the Sweet Baby backlash entailed. Not only is it a big nothingburger, but it does not warrant a fucking FBI-supervised company to "speak out" in their defense. Some spanish gamers simply published Steam Curator of games that have Sweet Baby. Inc. within its contacts, some dumb man-hating employee started playing the victim and wanted the people to doxx themselves over it, and she was simply humiliated for her own choice of words. That's it. The employees made fools of themselves, started deleting evidence of bad things they said publicly, and doubled down by saying stupid points in midst of it. The criticism was all warranted.
Look, I get there are actual basement dwelling harassing incels out there (fuck them, I'll never make excuses for those people) but the majority of people are not harassing the employees; they're simply just calling out lame woke bullshit for what it is. It's such a blatant attempt at playing victim and I refuse to believe even the idiots defending them are actually that gullible. I think they know they're not actually being oppressed, they know they simply fucked up by reacting unprofessionally, and they know playing victim is an easy card to propose more upcoming virtue signaling bullshit.
