Rest in peace Black Pigeon. I'm not surprised he was an early victim, his videos were very professionally produced and quite powerful in message.

Human Resources is transformed into a full Inquisition, imposing its policies without restraint and striking fear into everyone from the Chairman of the Board on down. The CEO regularly mouths social justice platitudes in the place of corporate strategies and the marketing materials are so full of virtue-signaling and social justice advocacy that it becomes difficult to tell from them what the company actually does or sells. The corporation now shows open contempt for its customers.

If they survive long enough, eventually they start attacking their existing customer base and business partners. Money really does become secondary to politics at a certain point due to convergence. Unfortunately the biggest have money to burn...
I've seen this happen with a few start-ups. Some nerds get together and try to bring a Great Idea to market. The people they hire as marketing consultants are more interested in Social Justice than in making a profit. Soon, the start-up becomes bloated with socially-conscious policies and people, and the nerds are either forced out or stick around to watch their Great Idea slowly dissolve into nothingness. The company loses its original purpose and becomes an Echo Chamber for SJWs who could not care less about corporate viability. There is no happy ending.


This is precisely what happened recently to EA/Dice, the gaming company.

Battlefield V Has Gone Full SJW And Gamers Hate It, Spawning #NotMyBattlefield

NotMyBattlefield

DICE and Electronic Arts have managed to get gamers to start trending #NotMyBattlefield. The upcoming first-person shooter’s first gameplay trailer makes it a priority focus put the point across that DICE has gone full SJW. The developer has made forced diversity one of the main promotional elements of the game, and repeatedly shoving in player’s faces that they’ve been listening heavily to the corrupt, anti-gaming media outlets who are intent on destroying the interactive entertainment medium.

In the latest trailer for the game we see a multicultural squad of soldiers assaulting a house and being shot up by the enemy. One of the recurring themes in the trailer is to highlight a woman with a missing arm somehow fighting in the thick of battle. Yes, there’s a disabled woman fighting on the battlefield in World War II… and the verdict is still out on if she’s a lesbian, but given today’s politically distorted promotion of degeneracy and regressive policies, don’t be surprised if she’s a one-armed, disabled, lesbian. https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/05/b ... eld/59548/
