Latest / Honey Badger Radio / Gamers Have to Be Purged? Black Girl Gamers Threatens to Sue For Criticism? | Badger Pod GamerGate 3
Transcript
- 0:00All right, hello everybody, and welcome to Honey Badger Radio. Something a
- 0:05little bit different. This is the second in a series of videos I'm gonna
- 0:09be doing every Wednesday around this time covering the events of Gamergate two or Gamergate
- 0:16or gamer Gate two point zero, I don't know whatever people are calling it
- 0:20some For some it's like a continuation of Gamergate from before. For some it
- 0:25is indeed a sequel. But we are live, and I am here with
- 0:31problematic White Guy because well, first of all, it's because I like the
- 0:36work you're doing, so I've I've been involved with Gamergate since before Gamergate,
- 0:42Like I was talking about stuff like this in the culture. Some people refer
- 0:46to it today as the culture war or whatever, the fandom menace, the
- 0:50fellowship, whatever it is that they're like responding to. But I've been talking
- 0:54about this for over ten years, and from the beginning, I've always said,
- 0:58and I maintain that the shoes that we're facing are not in fact a
- 1:03product of just like you know, a general sort of like miscommunication between UH
- 1:10journalists and the consumers or or whatever, right, and that it was for
- 1:15me, yeah, it was always an ideological problem that we were gonna have
- 1:19to confront at some point. You know, there is a saying that like
- 1:23if you if you have fundamental value differences between people, whether you like it
- 1:27or not, it's going to become a conflict. And that's what we're starting
- 1:32to see now. I mean, I think again, it could get a
- 1:34lot worse. So when I looked at your videos, you know, and
- 1:38I was watching some people doing videos, and most people they report on the
- 1:41drama, they talk about an article so and so said this, I can't
- 1:45believe they did that, et cetera. Right, And I'm sitting there going,
- 1:49yeah, I can totally see that. Like, nothing surprises me.
- 1:52Nothing. The journalists have done nothing, The games journalists have done nothing that
- 1:55these like consulting firms have done. None of it surprises me. But yeah,
- 2:00it takes people, you know, it shocks people. So when I
- 2:04well, while I was looking at what other people were saying, I came
- 2:07across a couple of channels that were actually seeing, you know, like these
- 2:12the kind of root not just the root causes, but the various connections to
- 2:15things that have nothing to do with or you wouldn't think have anything to do
- 2:19with gaming, you know, that are connected. And you were one of
- 2:22those channels. So I'm just that's like a long way of introducing you to
- 2:27to my new series on gamer Gate where I want to talk to people who
- 2:30are actually doing really good work looking at the research and seeing all of the
- 2:37sort of connective tissue on this on this cancer. So welcome to the show
- 2:42Problematic White Dude. Oh well, thank you, thank you for having me.
- 2:46It's really nice to get an introduction like that. I've been dealing with
- 2:51this for decades now, to be quite honest. Yeah, well, like
- 2:59I have my back. I'm like, I went to Savannah College Write and
- 3:01Design twenty years ago and I got in their game design program, and so
- 3:06I was at GDC back in two thousand and nine, and I've seen this
- 3:08stuff from its inception point basically, And you know, that's why I'm not
- 3:13in the game industry is because I just I knew I could see the writing
- 3:15on the wall from fifteen twenty years ago. You know. It's yeah,
- 3:20it's an interesting thing to watch. Some people just try to, you know,
- 3:24chase after the algorithm and like you know, add their little two bits
- 3:29here and there. You know, I've currently got no real following, but
- 3:32I think it's more important to actually blaze a trail and see where the evidence
- 3:36leads. So that's thankfully why you invited me on here today. So I
- 3:40definitely appreciate the invitation. Yeah, so let me know, guys that are
- 3:46watching, how things sound. Somebody says you are roboting in the space.
- 3:51I mean, on my end, everything seems to sound fine. So if
- 3:53it's an issue that you guys are here that you can't even like hear us
- 3:58talk, let me know and I'll see what we can do. It might
- 4:00be an issue with Twitter spaces. Twitter spaces is a little bit janky.
- 4:03Uh, seems like there's some lag, you know, and I don't know,
- 4:09like it's a little unreliable. So if that becomes a problem, we
- 4:13may have to Uh oh it's in the stream, We're okay, So it
- 4:15seems in the space only that's weird. All right, Well, thank you
- 4:19anyway, So all right, let's let's look at some of these links.
- 4:26So I watched your videos and I guess i'd like to I kind of put
- 4:30a couple of things in the in our our d MS that I wanted to
- 4:35bring up because people were talking about it. So I will I will make
- 4:40a mention of those really quick because but I think it's connected to the the
- 4:46the these kind of broader things that we were looking at. So what we
- 4:50got here is, first we have this new thing. So, uh,
- 4:57Black Girl Gamers threatens to sue. This is that Black Girl Gamers is a
- 5:03I guess you could say they are a what what's the word I'm looking for
- 5:08consulting firm? I guess indeed, you know, yeah, and this comes
- 5:12from fandom pol So. My my friend John Dela Ros, friend of the
- 5:15channel, writes for for Phantom Pulse. He used to write for Bounding in
- 5:19the Comics. You guys might know Bounding in the comics, but the Bonding
- 5:23in the Comics got bought by China and so he left the company along with
- 5:26Jonathan Trent, who I also have had on the show before. Jonathan Trent
- 5:30now writes for a different website. I'm trying to remember what it's called.
- 5:35It's it's that park Place, which is another resource that people have been using
- 5:41a lot when discussing these things. So so speaking of that park place,
- 5:47black Girl Gamers is threatening to sue them. This is because he accused them
- 5:53of something that they were in fact doing, which is you know, hiring
- 5:57discrimination and what the The reason why I want to bring this up is because
- 6:00everybody's talked about this already. They've talked about how hypocritical is and all that,
- 6:04and look, I get it, hypocrisy sucks. But the thing is
- 6:09is that the people we're dealing with don't care about hypocrisy. They're completely indifferent
- 6:14to it. All they care about is the revolution. All they care about
- 6:15is their goals, right, But it is telling that they were hiding like
- 6:20they didn't like the fact that he revealed this, even though they had said
- 6:26that they discriminate, like they've openly, you know, boasted about this on
- 6:30other you know, in other things that they've written and talked about at speaking
- 6:34engagements, but they didn't want us to know about it, the people who
- 6:38actually give them money. And so this is like, what I think is
- 6:43most interesting is that they have admitted to this, they have said it themselves,
- 6:47and yet when when we point out and say, oh, look,
- 6:50they're doing that thing that they said that they're doing, they get upset and
- 6:54say, no, that can't be proven. You don't know that we're doing
- 6:57that. And also we're suing you. So this is and so it makes
- 7:01you, So you got to ask, like, why do they believe that?
- 7:04Why is it okay for this hypocrisy to go on? So I don't
- 7:09know if you have any thoughts on that, Oh totally, yeah, Yeah,
- 7:13Well, I mean a lot of what we're seeing from actually emanates from
- 7:17the HR hiring practices that began back in the nineteen nineties, quite honestly.
- 7:21You know, like a lot of these companies, you know, the game
- 7:26design industry has had game colleges available for people to go to for twenty years,
- 7:30and yet the number of percentages of women that come out and get into
- 7:36the industry to do technical positions is still what it was twenty years ago.
- 7:41So this whole idea that they can reinforce representation through sheer gross number percentages is
- 7:49a form of conceit. And since there's not actual women who want to be
- 7:54in the game industry, they start bringing them in through HR first, and
- 7:58then they're all kind of rinking the same kool aid, and they look for
- 8:01people that fit into their ideological molds, and that spun out into these consulting
- 8:05firms. You know, that's where Kim bel Air came from, was marketing
- 8:09and HR are the primary area and production is where they'll hire women and they
- 8:16become mid level managers, and so they kind of get to be like gassed
- 8:20up mids and get way too into their position, and then they just you
- 8:24know, they're led by their heartstrings, and this ideological you know, kind
- 8:30of nudging that they do really speaks to them, and they're able to just
- 8:35kind of not see past the delusion or the haze of their own delusions.
- 8:41And so you know, they'll sit here and they'll they'll do what they do,
- 8:45and then they'll try to use you know, little catch words or things
- 8:48like that to not be held accountable for what they're doing. And then when
- 8:52you go and actually break it open, then they freak out and then they
- 8:56start throwing out the lawsuits because this whole thing that they're doing right now is
- 9:00to try to keep people silenced in a civilized way. But I always I
- 9:05always say that you know, like no matter which side of the spectrum you're
- 9:09on at the extreme polar ends, you know you're going to encounter censorship and
- 9:13brutality just in different forms, in different levels. One side does more censorship
- 9:18than brutal, the other side does more brutality than censorship. And so you
- 9:22know, to get yourself out there on either extreme is kind of you know,
- 9:28you don't really want to live in those polar opposites because everything just becomes
- 9:31so you know, diametrically, you know, just it's a i know,
- 9:37they hate this word, but binary kind of yes or no right or wrong
- 9:39kind of thing, and there's no actual humanity left where you can have wiggle
- 9:45room and just you know, be a person. And so it's like star
- 9:48bellied sneeches, you know, like everybody just sitting here like assuming that they
- 9:54see the thing on the other side being the correct way, and everybody should
- 9:58just fall in line with that. Anybody who doesn't is somehow, you know,
- 10:01utterly evil. But there is something that I've been saying for years and
- 10:05that you know, it's far more polite to it's well, actually, an
- 10:09honest threat is far more you know, considerate than a disingenuous promise any way,
- 10:16any shape or form, you know. And that's what we're going through
- 10:20right now, is we're seeing all these people who try to use their vaulted
- 10:24positions, their you know, inflated sense of self importance because they have degrees
- 10:28from academia and you know, like they just assume that they know better,
- 10:33not that they know different. And anybody who tries to give them a little
- 10:37bit of perspective and you know, open up their mind's eye and their purview
- 10:41to this whole matter, it pisces them off and they just get they double
- 10:46down and like they become more extreme in their you know, vitriol and you
- 10:50know, like that that woman that we're going to bring up in that other
- 10:52article, you know, like calling for a purge openly and actively. I
- 10:56mean, you know, just because they divorced them selves from the brutality,
- 11:01they see themselves somehow being you know, civil and better. And you know,
- 11:05I used to work in a holistic naturopathic doctor's office for like seven years,
- 11:09right because you know, like I said, I didn't want to go
- 11:13in the game industry because I saw what it was going to be, and
- 11:15so I tried to take my talent, skill and ability in to a forum
- 11:18that I thought would be appreciated and I would talk to people about these matters
- 11:22and ultimately, you know, over the course of because I was living out
- 11:26in the West Coast at the time, the ideological woke mind virus overtook the
- 11:31office and I became like, you know, the weird creepy white dude in
- 11:33the corner, you know that. You know, I'm just like, yeah,
- 11:37you know, And and so I had my own you know, getting
- 11:41sidelined and having a diverse woman of color reboot story happened and play out right
- 11:46in the middle of COVID hell world, and you know, like they they
- 11:52offloaded me when you know, it was one of those things I kind of
- 11:54said, you know, I may be like, you know, rough around
- 11:58the edges, but that's what people kind of need in a holistic setting so
- 12:01they can actually understand that it's not just this cult of positivity and this delusional
- 12:05way of thought, because to be too you know, negative is just as
- 12:09bad as being too positive, because you don't allow yourself enough, you know,
- 12:15of a spectrum of experience and everything has to be a certain way,
- 12:18and you end up just losing your humanity and losing the whole plot of living
- 12:24a life and encountering people. So yeah, this this thing that's with black
- 12:28girl gamers, it's really just you know, it seems to be an evolution
- 12:33of that kind of mindset, just taking out to the n degree thirty years
- 12:35beyond where the inception point was, and so now you know, they think
- 12:41that anything they say, think and do is completely beyond reproach and we're all
- 12:46just repugnant and deplorable. But you know, I've been called the extreme right
- 12:50by people who are on the left, and been called extreme left by people
- 12:54that are on the right. So it's just kind of like, I'm just
- 12:56a dude, you know, I'm a automatic white guy, you know,
- 12:58like that's why, that's why, that's that's why I use that name,
- 13:01quite honestly, is because it's just like I don't mind. You know,
- 13:03yeah, I am problematic, but we all are, you know, ultimately
- 13:07at the end of the day. So I don't know, it's it's it's
- 13:11an interesting situation and the way that these women are just utilizing the legal system
- 13:16in arbitrary ways, you know, that's that's the issue, is like I
- 13:18believe in freedom and liberty not you know, a law in order is okay
- 13:22to a small degree, but we're getting into a world that's way too caught
- 13:26up in the idea of this is a land of law and order, and
- 13:31you know that's where the lockstep, you know, kind of jack boot mentality
- 13:35starts to come in. As well, and you just you can't, you
- 13:37can't have that much you know, law and order without removing the whole concept
- 13:43of being able to just live free and you know, actually having unabla little
- 13:48human rights. But you try to explain that to either side of this situation
- 13:54and they freak out, you know, like I mean, I could say
- 13:58something like incredibly content reversal to the degree of you know, like when it
- 14:03comes to like pro choice, I'm like, hey, I believe in body.
- 14:05It's on me rights. That's why I didn't go along with the COVID
- 14:07mandates, you know. But they hear that, and then they freak out
- 14:11when a couple of years later, the Supreme Court goes and says, well,
- 14:16you you did this, you bid off. You know, you're you're
- 14:20getting exactly what you deserve because this is what you put other people through.
- 14:24And so if we have a system of equality and fairness, if we're going
- 14:26to put it into a security state mindset, then this is going to be
- 14:31the ultimate outcome of the situation like that, and it's it undermines everyone's civil
- 14:37liberties and it makes us all divisive, and we've become like this pit of
- 14:41vipers and that just you know, keeps us all distracted on each other while
- 14:46the actual danger that's coming from this, you know, globalist deception, conspiracy
- 14:50from high level financiers and things like that, they just get to go by,
- 14:56you know, unnoticed. But that's you know, magic isn't the woman
- 15:01in the red dress. She's the distraction. Magic is the mundane stuff that
- 15:05you're not paying attention to. And that's why I wanted to do my research
- 15:09in the area where no one else was doing it yet, because to me,
- 15:13it was just one of those things where it's like, well, everybody's
- 15:15just walking right over this and looking right at like, you know, the
- 15:16woman in the red dress and freaking out and sure, you know, and
- 15:20and that's what they want, you know, for us to actually start having
- 15:24conversations and get to the deeper heart of the matter and find our humanity again.
- 15:30You know, then we could all actually come together and undo a lot
- 15:33of this uh, you know, control state mentality, because we would actually
- 15:37understand that our rights are our freedoms and liberties are far more important than security
- 15:43states. But I'm meeting up the air so well no, no, I
- 15:46hear you, I hear you. Yeah, So let let's establish a couple
- 15:50of ground you know rules here just for the people who are inside of the
- 15:56spaces. I see a Phoebusch, Kat and in q Cel are in there,
- 16:02and I have at least one request to speak. So what I'm gonna
- 16:04do is I'm I'm here mostly to talk about the work that Problematic has done,
- 16:11some of the He's given me some links, and this is about talking
- 16:15about like the there is a much bigger thing happening. So one thing that
- 16:19I'm really happy about is that this time around, people who are reporting on
- 16:23this stuff are starting to like look behind the curtain. They're seeing, you
- 16:29know, the the d I stuff, which sounds that with DEI, which
- 16:33stands for what is it didn't earn its equity and inclusion? Well yes,
- 16:40but I also call it didn't earn it Yes, totally Ultimately boils down to
- 16:45so yeah, DEI stuff and the you know, the the ESG scores and
- 16:52black Rock and the investment firms, and the fact that you know, this
- 16:56is unique because this kind of you know, woke stuff as people call it,
- 17:00wokeness creeping into their into their hobbies and video games. This has been
- 17:06going on in our in media for a long long time. But the thing
- 17:08is in Hollywood and in our television and even in our music. It was
- 17:15a slow process that we didn't really like keep an eye on. But that
- 17:19was because at the time those particular entertainment industries were kind of like guaranteed to
- 17:26grow, right, Like, you knew TV was going to be big,
- 17:29you knew that the films are going to be big. But video games for
- 17:33a large part of the early you know, if it's early life, like
- 17:37when you had like pixels on an arcade machine, people thought that that was
- 17:41just like a children's just diversion, right, It was just it was a
- 17:44childish thing. It wasn't really a big thing until you know, the games
- 17:48started to get more deep and the stories became more complex, and you could
- 17:52bring them home and you could play them on your computer and so on.
- 17:56And suddenly these people that wanted to use our culture they were interested in the
- 18:03arts, which is a whole other subject that I could get into, but
- 18:07I won't on this show indeed, because I will, but but not on
- 18:11this one. Maybe another one in the future. They said, oh,
- 18:12we can use this to push our messaging, and but they had to jump
- 18:17on it quickly. And so they did. And this is the thing about
- 18:21gamer Gate. One was that you had people that were you know, uh,
- 18:25bloggers that wanted to like write about stuff they cared about. And they
- 18:29and but and they were activists, and they wanted to bring that into you
- 18:33know, whatever job they could get their hands on, and some of them
- 18:34became games journalists. And so they would they would use their you know,
- 18:40their sort of like education or their programming to essentially like try to tell everybody
- 18:45else what, like you said, what what the right thing to believe is,
- 18:49what the right thing to do is. Uh. And you know,
- 18:52if you if you have like moved beyond this, you might have like seen
- 18:57that. Like guys have written about this for a long time. I like
- 19:00Thomas Soul for example, and he has written about these people. As you
- 19:04know, he calls them the anointed. They're basically people who are they're smarter
- 19:07than you, Therefore they know what's best for you. Therefore they get to
- 19:11decide, you know, how to use power, how to influence your life.
- 19:15And of course they never have to take accountability for when it becomes a
- 19:19catastrophic outcome. And so that's what we are seeing in the gaming space.
- 19:26So anyway. I will allow people to give their comments if they want to
- 19:30speak, but I'll give you You're gonna have a time limit, maybe like
- 19:33thirty seconds or something, just to make a quick point. So I saw
- 19:37that some people left, It's okay. You guys can can you know,
- 19:41raise a hand and say something if you wish, But I'm gonna limit your
- 19:45time this time because we are going to be going through quite a few things
- 19:48on the show today. So if you guys could please give this video a
- 19:52like, no matter what stream you're watching it on, because I do have
- 19:56it going out to Badger Live Streams, which is our mainstream channel, and
- 20:00also Honey Badger Arcade, which is my gaming channel where I typically talk more
- 20:04about gamer Gate stuff. But this is big enough that we should be addressing
- 20:08it on both, So please hit the like button. And again, if
- 20:11you want to send us a message, I will read your superchats and super
- 20:15chows over on Bachelor live Streams. Just go to feed Thebadgel dot com for
- 20:19slash just the tip to send us a super chow. Albertina Retro just gave
- 20:23us a super chat and says Melanie Mack is apparently at the top of the
- 20:27hit list for this purge. Yes, that is something else we can talk
- 20:32about a little bit. She is essentially a gender trader, and our channel,
- 20:38mostly bagel lized streams, talks about men's issues, and so we end
- 20:42up kind of like opposing feminism to be to be quite honest, you know,
- 20:48like that's that's kind of what we have to do. And that's what
- 20:49this is, that this infiltration, it comes from feminists. It as that's
- 20:55how it always starts off. And but it is something bigger than that.
- 20:59Even so anyway, I just wanted to get that out of the way.
- 21:03So let's look at the first thing. So I'm gonna look at Black Girl
- 21:07Gamers we already touched on. I just wanted to say that they are trying
- 21:10to sue that Park plays because he told the truth. And the main reason
- 21:15is essentially they they they don't want to get the attention that they're getting and
- 21:21that's why they're doing it. And then we have this other story. BBC's
- 21:25Jules Hardy calls for purge against gamers, opposing Sweet Baby Inks forced DEI and
- 21:32what does she mean by purge? Does anyone know? Did we cause I
- 21:36mean they could they could just say this is just being hyperbolic. Well what
- 21:38does she what do you think she means by that problematic? Well, you
- 21:42know, I think that it's a thinly veiled threat that's done behind softer language,
- 21:49But purge is not exactly the softest language to use, you know,
- 21:56I mean, and that's and that's just like we're a month into this thing,
- 22:00and that's where they're already at. And so like you know, with
- 22:03the you know, say, like with the work that I'm doing, if
- 22:07this actually picks up and starts to go a little bit more mainstream, which
- 22:10is why I brought it to nerd War's attention, because he's got a larger,
- 22:14much larger following than I do. Because you know, this is when
- 22:17you're going to start seeing. Once this actually gets into the point where people
- 22:19understand that this is a globalist threat that's infiltrating us, you'll see them try
- 22:26to throw little, you know, like little smaller entities like your sweet baby
- 22:30inks and black girl gamers under the bus because then at that point in time,
- 22:33you know they're just going to try to save themselves. But for right
- 22:37now, what you're seeing is this reaction point happening where you know they back
- 22:44back in you know, the twenty sixteen election when they came up with the
- 22:48oh well, you're just deplorable and like, you know, it's always fine
- 22:52to punch a Nazi and all this kind of insanity, you know. And
- 22:56I'll be honest, like I was living in the Pacific Northwest of the time.
- 23:00I've been there for nearly a decade, and you know, the wof
- 23:03mind virat and oh yeah and land and shit, oh my god, yeah,
- 23:07oh yeah. Did I lived in Kirkland, which is the clean side
- 23:11of Seattle, which is even more that's where I worked at the doctor's office.
- 23:14So I was, you know, I myself was you know, becoming
- 23:18more and more incepted by the wo wokies and whatnot because you're there with people
- 23:22that you think that you can get along with whatnot. But it took what
- 23:26happened with COVID to really kind of open my eyes and make me realize that
- 23:30you know, allies are all lies and as soon as you step out of
- 23:33line, just barely, you know, that's you, you know, yeah,
- 23:37And and so like you know, that's where like I'm back in the
- 23:41Midwest now, and you know, like there's people that I don't necessarily see
- 23:45eye to eye with ideologically or anything like that. But that's the way it's
- 23:48supposed to be. We're all humans, like, you know, like the
- 23:51the ability to actually have disagreements and use that as a way to refine your
- 23:55own ideas and beliefs, that's an important thing. And they just they can't
- 24:00go along with that. And so now that you know, this is a
- 24:03month in and they're losing you know, their sensibilities left and right. At
- 24:10every turn, you're seeing them ratched up way way quicker. And we're just
- 24:14like, well, we're not going to pay for your crap, and they're
- 24:15like, well, we're obligated to, you know, give them money so
- 24:22they can maintain their jobs, even though you know, on the other end
- 24:26of the part of it, you've got the financiers who are telling them,
- 24:29yeah, don't worry, we'll still you know, we still got you backed.
- 24:32Even if you don't have money coming in from this one end, We're
- 24:34still going to do it because ultimately, the money is just a means to
- 24:38an end, you know, like this is about power and control money,
- 24:42you know, money. We've been living in a zombie economy for forty years,
- 24:47and so you know, we the more inflation that happens, the more
- 24:51we become financially debased, and the less purchasing power we have. It's not
- 24:53that things necessarily cost more, it's just our money is completely worthless. And
- 24:57I still attest that that's what the whole COVID Hell World situation was about,
- 25:02was to destroy small businesses and create this ideological situation where they're going to try
- 25:07to, you know, leverage their power and might against anybody who can't you
- 25:12know, have the capacity to compete. And that's why I always tell people
- 25:15you need to start a garden. You need to like, you know,
- 25:18like look around you and see, like, you know, what it is
- 25:21that you can do for yourself or learn for yourself to improve the situation,
- 25:25because if you leave it to the powers that be currently, then they're just
- 25:29going to keep putting more poison into your food supply, more poison in the
- 25:32water, more poison in your entertainment. They're trying to get us to be
- 25:36completely sick and tired and you know, fatigued and just completely unbearable and reactionary,
- 25:42which is what they become themselves, you know. And so that's that's
- 25:47part of the whole conceit is like if you don't go along with it,
- 25:51then obviously you're like the worst thing that ever happened. We're just like,
- 25:55no, man, I just have like opinions that I you know, I
- 25:59have no problem like with contextual based stories, but content driven narratives are not
- 26:04that. And that's what they're trying to force onto us with all these agendas
- 26:10and all this nudging. And this woman, you know, I'm sure at
- 26:14some point in her life she wasn't so you know, insane. But you
- 26:19know, like I say, it is, it is totally the mind virus.
- 26:22It gets inside your head and you just get in your echo chamber and
- 26:26like you are, you know, told to be afraid of everyone and everything
- 26:30and like you know, and all this kind of stuff, and so oh,
- 26:34I was just gonna say, it's so like, you know, to
- 26:37kind of comment on the Melanie Mac thing just slightly. You know, that's
- 26:41like modern feminism is anything but feminine, and so like when they see a
- 26:45woman like Melanie Mac, it drives them insane because she's actually, you know,
- 26:49a real woman, you know, and attractive in every way. She's
- 26:53completely beautiful from her soul outward, and all these you know, modern feminist
- 27:00who do everything at the surface level to hide their conceit and all the things
- 27:03that are like, you know, right behind that thin veneer of makeup and
- 27:07you know, expensive clothing and shoes and all that kind of bullshit. You
- 27:11know, not to say that, you know, women can't do that,
- 27:14but the way that it's kind of you know done, and and even feminism
- 27:18now doesn't even represent feminism. It represents men pretending they're women. You know.
- 27:22So well, I think I don't want to go into a conversation about
- 27:27feminism because different right, No, no, no, I problem with it,
- 27:30because I'm very well equipped. But all I will say is that I
- 27:34think that feminism as it exists now was always going to be the inevitable outcome
- 27:40of feminism from the past. So it was it wasn't like some like like
- 27:44no one. I mean people will look at it and say, wow,
- 27:47where did we go wrong? And it's like, well, you were always
- 27:49wrong and this is the reason why we're here. So and but that's that's
- 27:53decades. Go ahead, yeah, well hundreds of years. Actually it's very
- 28:00old. It's really really old. Oh yeah, so but but go ahead.
- 28:07Well, I was just gonna ask you that, why do you think
- 28:08without before we get into because I want to get into the sustainability goals and
- 28:12like the other things that are planned that they're gonna end the nudging in particular,
- 28:17because that's the thing that's happening with gaming or with the all of our
- 28:21entertainment, and I think it's an important thing for the people that are here
- 28:25because they support GG two and so that they know, you know, what
- 28:29what is going on, because that's what I want to do running this channel.
- 28:33My goal is to not to talk about every single time somebody tweets something
- 28:37and they they say something that they think is racist or sexist, because that
- 28:41would be that's an ongoing thing that's gonna always happen. I want to talk
- 28:45about, like what are the long term goals? And I saw that in
- 28:48your video. You, for example, had several clips from James Lindsay's appearance
- 28:53on Joe Rogan's podcast recently. And I've been watching James Lindsay since since the
- 29:00the Grievance Studies, you know, hopes that they did with Peter Bagosian and
- 29:06Helen pluck Rose, and I even had Helen pluck Rows on my show and
- 29:10I talked to her at the time was it was years ago, and he
- 29:14is doing really good work analyzing like all of this stuff about stakeholder capitalism versus
- 29:21shareholder capitalism, which I've talked about, by the way, neither of those
- 29:23things is capitalism, but I digress. And and also like things about you
- 29:30know, these the the the carbon emissions and the green you know, the
- 29:36climate change stuff and all of these other things in black rock, et cetera.
- 29:40So this is what really is important. I'm glad because I do see
- 29:45more people talk about it. You mentioned nerd Wars. I thought that his
- 29:48videos are really good. They go very in depth. It's it's not conspiracy
- 29:52theory, it's not crazy. It is the culture and they know that,
- 29:56and and culture has a massive influence on people. This is why we have
- 30:00to clean it up. So anyway, I was going to ask you,
- 30:03though, why do you think it's almost exclusively women that are doing this.
- 30:11Uh, well, I think that there's a certain level of you know,
- 30:14like I I jokingly refer to them, not so jokingly, but it's like
- 30:18guilt written woke white women will be the death of humanity. And it's because
- 30:22you know, like, for as much as they want to talk about white
- 30:25privilege and all that kind of stuff. Women are white woke. White women
- 30:30are right now perhaps the most privileged, uh you know subset of people in
- 30:36America right now, because they sit here and they try to do white nighting
- 30:38for all these people that they don't actually believe in as people and they need
- 30:42to have our you know, like they're they're also caught up in their emotional
- 30:47connection to this thing that they have no understanding that you know about logic and
- 30:52reason and legitimate discernment, and it's it's crazy, you know. Uh,
- 30:56but uh, I think that you know, they want a world to be
- 31:03so much that you know, like I always say that, you know,
- 31:07if you really want something, you're going to go after it, but if
- 31:10you only want to want something, then you're going to stop right there at
- 31:14that level. And so for all the things that they think that they want,
- 31:17they just want to want those things. And so they're actually in their
- 31:21you know, idealization point where they have a struggle. They can you know,
- 31:25be activists towards these things. They can point to the people that you
- 31:29know around them that they see something wrong in, but all those things they
- 31:33they point out in other people. It's a cracked reflection of the shadow that
- 31:37they're hiding inside themselves, and until they actually take the time to actually realize
- 31:42just how infested they are with like you know, these judgments and you know
- 31:48these you know, just hardline kind of oh it's got to be this way,
- 31:52and like, you know, like you can't trust anything. The more
- 31:53that they create a world that's divisive like that, and it does no one
- 32:00any any benefits in the long term. And so you know, I think
- 32:02that in some ways, you know, like equity is not equality, equity
- 32:07is revenge. And if they actually wanted to, you know, like uh
- 32:13talk about like feminism being such this great thing, then they wouldn't be committing
- 32:16the exact same you know, sins as it were that they rail against.
- 32:22And so they're no better, They're just different, and they're actually even more
- 32:25blood thirsted. Like I remember on just a couple weeks ago International Women's Day,
- 32:30I saw so many posts that if a man said anything like that,
- 32:32there'd be a cop busting on the door before the sun rose, you know,
- 32:37oh yeah, that was that. They do that every year and wait
- 32:39until International Men's Say comes around. See what they then now check check on
- 32:45Twitter when international men's say comes around. See if there's a Google doodle for
- 32:50that, right. I mean, I'm not angry about it. I mean,
- 32:52I don't care. It doesn't change my life much, but you know,
- 32:54it's it is an obvious, stark thing you can see. But let
- 32:58me ask you this because you mentioned of woke, like guilty white women,
- 33:02and I hear this a lot. But like there's a lot of really angry
- 33:06non white women out there, Like yeah, alystamer Conte, probably I don't
- 33:09know if she would consider herself white or her last name sounds Latina. You
- 33:14got Kim Bellair, you got black girl gamers. There's plenty of this,
- 33:17So like, what's I mean is that that's not the same, is it.
- 33:22I guess I should refine. Like when I say white, I don't
- 33:24even necessarily mean Caucasian. I mean like white Devil's white. You know,
- 33:28like white white collar women that have like no sense of self because they you
- 33:32know, they have they have a job with like you know, privileged women.
- 33:36Basically women live in the first world, right, and they had no
- 33:40you know, understanding or connection to the world that's around them. And you
- 33:44know, I worked in this, you know, like I said, work
- 33:45in a holistic doctor's office. Of our clientele was women. I was the
- 33:51only guy who worked there other than the doctor who owned the practice. Her
- 33:55husband was there with me to keep an eye on me basically, you know,
- 34:00and even though like because I might say something out of turn or like
- 34:04this or that, or I might like you know, like actually give people
- 34:07perspective. And you know, because when I was first hired, it was
- 34:10like, oh, well, we want you to talk about like you know
- 34:13these you know, things that aren't mentioned, you know, And I was
- 34:16like, oh, I get the opportunity to be a wizard and naturally to
- 34:19spend some you know, good advice along with this medicine. So I used
- 34:22to like, you know, I was the guy who mixed their teenstures together
- 34:25and like I did all the kind of stuff and so you know, like
- 34:29if you took me back to like the nineteen hundreds, I would be ostensibly
- 34:32a doctor. But yeah, in today, in today's modern culture, you
- 34:36know, I'm just a guy who like you know, knows how to like
- 34:38mix things well and actually like you know, I could run their systems and
- 34:44everything like that. I had all these talent skills and abilities that none of
- 34:46them could have. But they were all, you know, just unyielding in
- 34:51their politeness and their kindness and their willingness to come off saccharine suite. But
- 34:55you know, like when I wasn't in the meetings that they were in,
- 35:00the woman that I was involved with at the time, she would tell me
- 35:04like how much they just loaded and tested every little bit of me, you
- 35:08know. But anytime I tried to talk to him, you know, they
- 35:12either like you know, would put on a false front or they just didn't
- 35:15have time to actually carry out a conversation, because ultimately I was just there
- 35:20like a pet, you know. And that's kind of the crazy thing that
- 35:23we have going on with like this whole you know, where is this leading
- 35:28to. That's the reason why there's robots taking over jobs and doing all this
- 35:31kind of stuff right now, because they want robot butlers. And the hilarious
- 35:36thing is that ultimately the women themselves are also being exploited in this whole endeavor,
- 35:39the ones that we're talking about, the ones that are kind of white
- 35:42collar, because they were all hired as cost saving measures and this idea that
- 35:47it's to you know, balance things out. Yeah, it's to balance the
- 35:52books, not you know, representation. That's just a good way to sell
- 35:55it. You know, Like the show and tell is the show and tell,
- 35:59the reveal is the reveal, and generally they are not the same thing,
- 36:02you know. So you know, I would try to like talk to
- 36:06them in you know, legitimate terms, and they just at a certain point
- 36:09they couldn't take it. And so like that's when the doctor that I worked
- 36:15or started looking for a woman to replace me, and it took five different
- 36:21women coming through the doors, and ultimately I ended up coming down with COVID.
- 36:25When I finally took a break after two years being you know, frontline
- 36:30deep into the madness, and while I was you know, at home sick
- 36:35recovering, the doctor, she just sent me an email and said don't worry
- 36:38about coming back, and she threw some money at me, and just like,
- 36:42you know, that was it. You know, it was like I
- 36:45was like, all right, so when push comes to shove, when it
- 36:47ultimately mattered most to actually have quote unquote a community and show care and love
- 36:52and compassion for your fellow man, you pushed me out in the colt and
- 36:55shoved needles in your arm. And so you know, however, anybody wants
- 37:00to take care of themselves. It's not for me to tell them. But
- 37:04for if you're working in a holistic, naturalistic practice that is completely against vaccines
- 37:09as kind of like the founding the foundations of it. When you, you
- 37:15know, go against that, that shows you to be a virtue signaling ass
- 37:19hat that means nothing and has nothing more than just a surface veneer of polish
- 37:22on you. I may be rough around the edges, but I'll tell you
- 37:25straight up, like you know where I am, and you know what's going
- 37:29on with me currently, and as I progress through my life, I change,
- 37:32I ev and I flow, you know, like I actually have you
- 37:36know, experiences to draw from. But a lot of these women they just
- 37:39get locked into their little safety bubble and they just want it to be like
- 37:43that for always, you know. And I think that that's where some of
- 37:45the conceit starts to seep in. So yeah, well there is there is
- 37:50definitely a problem with pride in our society. Like people that like are extremely
- 37:57prideful and they get ego invested in things, and I think think it's one
- 38:00of the reasons why so much bad can happen and no one will, you
- 38:04know, very few people will have the courage to say, you know what,
- 38:07I was wrong and I've like contributed to something that's you know, that's
- 38:10how you get like that silent that silent majority, that that they don't speak
- 38:16out because they're afraid that they're the only ones, and so you know,
- 38:21they keep it to themselves. You know. But if that's we can get
- 38:24like I don't want to go to out of the way here, but let's
- 38:27let's look at Okay, so let's talk a little bit about this nudging thing.
- 38:31So I saw this article this I didn't I sent that to you,
- 38:36but we can look at some of the ones you sent, because you sent
- 38:38some similar ones and it was from footprintmag dot net and I started reading through
- 38:43it. For patrons, uh, that's if you want to join us.
- 38:46By the way, as a patron, guys, go to feedbadger dot com

- 39:08our discord. Be sure to follow and check out problematics stuff. There's a
- 39:15link to his a YouTube channel and his Twitter in The Problematic White Guy.
- 39:22There's a link to that in the description of this video, So give him
- 39:24a sub He's very small, but you know, it doesn't matter to me,
- 39:29Like I prefer that there are people doing good work, and I think
- 39:32that there's a real honestly, just to get a little bit conspiratorial, I
- 39:36think the people who do some of the best work that that have the most
- 39:40to say, that's probably like a real gem of information that people can use.
- 39:45They tend to be smaller channels, and I think it's because they're less
- 39:51they have less mass appeal. You know, like if you want it to
- 39:52be really big, you could just tow the line and you'll be you'll be
- 39:57huge. But if you're if you're going either in depth in something like where
- 40:01maybe beyond what people want, like a lot of people just want surface level
- 40:05stuff, it's gonna be really hard for you to grow. But I think
- 40:07I find that, you know, you just don't know where you're gonna get
- 40:10the good stuff. And I think that this guy has good stuff. Nerd
- 40:14Wars also really good stuff as well, and I'm trying to get him to
- 40:17come on, but he's he's really busy. So anyway, this article is
- 40:22from footprint dot footprint maag dot net and it's called green Nudges for Gamers and
- 40:27it reads can video games really encourage sustainable behavior? So do you any guys
- 40:35in the chat know what they mean when they sustainable behave? When they say
- 40:37sustainable behavior? And I mean, obviously you can't answer right away, but
- 40:42you know, right problematic? Oh yeah, Like when they talk about sustainable
- 40:46behavior, they're they're talking about like, you know, all this stuff goes
- 40:50back to financing ultimately, and they're talking about like the longevity of the business,
- 40:55and so you know, I used to tell people in the doc office,
- 41:00like, you know, a lot of this stuff comes down to like
- 41:01matters of supply and demand. And if you can artificially, you know,
- 41:06deflate the you know, demand, then you you know, actually increase the
- 41:12supply. And so you know, when they talk about carbon credits and offsets
- 41:15and all this kind of stuff, you know, the leveling or actually the
- 41:20widening of the gap is so that we can't actually compete. And that's part
- 41:23of the reason for making all these things, you know, so subpar and
- 41:29substandard on the mainstream kind of level, because you know, like if you
- 41:32were to talk about what is legitimate capitalism, it is small businesses that compete
- 41:37and you know, keep each other sharp and actually have to you know,
- 41:40viy for their audience. Whereas if you get into this corporatist kind of construct
- 41:45that's taking shape, and there's less people that are able to platform and compete
- 41:51on that level, which is kind of like going to like, you know,
- 41:52my YouTube channel being small, Like my last two videos have both been
- 41:57flagged by YouTube as you know, being information, and so I take that
- 42:00as a sign of pride because it's like, dude, I have like under
- 42:04one hundred subscribers on my channel, you know, like I'm one away from
- 42:07sixty nine sixty nine. But yeah, you know it's right right, But
- 42:14you know, like for them to come at me like that when I have
- 42:16like so little voice in this whole thing just goes to show that I'm saying
- 42:21stuff that they're erotic, erotic, erotic, erotic, indeed, like like
- 42:28I'm evidently no, it's all right, I'm evidently saying something that they don't
- 42:30want people to hear from themselves. To actually discern and make a choice and
- 42:35decision. They just want to like, you know, paint me with this
- 42:37brush, you know, and just say, oh, you can't listen to
- 42:39anything this guy has to say because clearly he's like, you know, off
- 42:43the wall and like. And that's part of the reason why I go buy
- 42:45a problematic white guy as well, because it's they're framing techniques. I just
- 42:51go and I completely dismantle it because it's like I walked through the door and
- 42:53was like, yeah, I'm problematic. What are you gonna say about it?
- 42:55You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, what right? Yeah?
- 43:02Absolutely, and yeah, sustainable behavior is essentially a lot of it has to
- 43:07do with you know, like climate stuff, or at least that's the excuse,
- 43:14but ultimately it is it is about control. And you're right. From
- 43:16before, I wanted to mention this because a big mistake that a lot of
- 43:20people that talk about this stuff make is they think that everything is about money.
- 43:23And I've been saying for a long time that it can't be about money,
- 43:27because why are they all for printing our money into oblivion? They're obviously
- 43:31more concerned with power. In fact, if you have power, you don't
- 43:35need money because like you can just get what you want, Like, why
- 43:38is it there are people like, oh, I don't know Jeffrey Epstein,
- 43:40what was his job? Does anyone know? Well, but we know he
- 43:45was really rich, right, Like I mean like, if you know the
- 43:47right people and you do and you do favors for people and you get favors
- 43:52done for you, money just doesn't exist for you. So yeah, I
- 43:55mean that's I think that ultimately people should know that when and even when Blackrock
- 44:00spends you know, billions of dollars on companies if they follow these ESG guidelines
- 44:07that they set because they want to force behaviors. As Larry Fink said,
- 44:13you have to recognize it is not about money. And this is important because
- 44:15people make this mistake of saying, oh, this is the fault of capitalism,
- 44:20and it's not. First of all, capitalism is a non word.
- 44:23Again, read some Time of Soul and you'll understand. But it's it's about
- 44:28power, because if you have power, you don't need money. Money is
- 44:30simply a measure of the value of your labor, right or your value you
- 44:37bring right. It's like whatever it is, whether that's an invention or a
- 44:40service or what or you grow something, whatever, it is so. And
- 44:45yeah, like you said too, in a real market society, there are
- 44:50no corporations because corporations are a marriage of government and a company. But the
- 44:55but the government aspect immediately cancels out it being a free market entity. So
- 45:01another thing that often gets blamed on the quote unquote capitalism is corporatism. But
- 45:07that's that's just not the same. Corporations couldn't exist in a free market.
- 45:10So this is an important distinction to make because unfortunately, if you're involved a
- 45:15gamer Gate and you were like one of these people that was like, oh,
- 45:17I don't want to deal with politics, you have to, like it's
- 45:21it's being forced on you, so you might as well be equipped. And
- 45:23the best part is, guys, we can win this. I mean we
- 45:29can win this. We can we can do real harm and I think we
- 45:32have to, so you know, So that's what the green nudgets thing is
- 45:37about. So what's going on with Let me see what do you got here?
- 45:43I looked at some of the stuff Atlantic Council, Adriann rsh Rockefeller Foundation
- 45:47Resilience Center. What's this one billion resilient by twenty thirty? Is this the
- 45:53the another climate thing that they're doing oh most step lately, like their whole,
- 45:58their whole methodology of pushing forward is under the guise of trying to prevent
- 46:02the climate crisis. That's actually how I was able to make the direct connection
- 46:08of all this stuff being tied back to the United Nations and the World Economic
- 46:13Forum through this you know think tank that's owned by the Rockefeller Foundation, and
- 46:17so the Atlantic Council, they have multiple smaller divisions, and so this push
- 46:25for resilience. The woman who's there, head of Finance directory or the director
- 46:30of Financing, she was part of the UN, part of the WF and
- 46:36then she count into this government think tank and then for whatever reason last week
- 46:40on Tuesday, her and a whole bunch of other people that are connected to
- 46:44this think tank had a eight hour long session at GDC on Tuesday in the
- 46:51middle of everything. And so, like I've been saying since then since I
- 46:53kind of like did the research and realize what was happening, this was being
- 46:57hidden right out in the open, that GDC doesn't mean Game Developers Conference,
- 47:00it is you know, a globalist reception conspiracy, and like the event itself
- 47:06is just a sock puppet event to you know, have a deflection, like
- 47:08I say things like you know, like precious gems are like you know,
- 47:13because I think about things like in terms of magic, I love Lord of
- 47:15the Rings, right, And there's a huge difference between being a wizard and
- 47:19being a sorcerer. They both use magic, but a wizard will share his
- 47:22ideas freely and let anybody run well with him. Where's a sorcerer needs their
- 47:28source of power to hold it over you. And so, you know,
- 47:30back in two thousand and nine, the Women's International it's called the WIGSIG Women
- 47:37in Gaming was the first Yeah, this was this was the first special interest
- 47:43group that like the IGDA itself is also a special interest group and they're based
- 47:47out of the UK, and so that's the International Game Developers Association. And
- 47:53so they started going into these measures and endeavors to you know, enact change
- 47:59based on representation. The program director we had the college I was going to
- 48:04at the time was this woman who had been in the industry for a number
- 48:07of years. She actually had a little bit of like you know, like
- 48:07she had experience and this and that, but she was all about trying to
- 48:12promote women and at the behest of like you know, actually teach anybody talent,
- 48:16skill and ability and having that be the thing that we were supposed to
- 48:20be learning in art school. And so this does tie into academia right along
- 48:24with it. I like in my video, I said, you know what,
- 48:28academia is the indoctrination point, and then the industry is the inception point.
- 48:34And so they try to get people that already are drinking you know,
- 48:37the kool aid to come into it, and then it becomes easier to do
- 48:40the inception. And then once the inception happens, anybody who doesn't you know,
- 48:45measure up to where their standards are at, they get forced out or
- 48:49their lives just become unbearable to the point that they walk away. And that's
- 48:52you know what was happening to the you know, even in the doctor's office
- 48:55setting, Like these things happen in all sorts of uh, you know,
- 49:00spaces, and with the gaming industry specifically, the way that it has kind
- 49:07of taken hold is through this back channel financing. And this was all instituted
- 49:13under the ideas of, well, since we can't get to the women who
- 49:17have the skills, will put them there and they'll give the oversight and you
- 49:22know, they're they're just kind of trying to force the narrative, you know,
- 49:28and and have a content based kind of outcome, rather than actually trying
- 49:32to contextually tell better stories and use this technology for what it was meant for,
- 49:37which was supposed to be you know, artistic integrity and free artistry and
- 49:40you know, giving people more of a voice. I have no problem if,
- 49:44like, you know, you want to tell a woman's story. I
- 49:46like, uh, you know, last week I was watching Bound Again,
- 49:50which is an amazing movie from when you were actually yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 49:54Jennifer Tilly and Jennifer indeed indeed you want to and Joey Pants but yeah,
- 50:01indeed indeed, and and that movie is that movie's great, and like,
- 50:05you know, and you're talking about like two lesbian leads in the in
- 50:08the story, and it's about like, you know, how they're doing all
- 50:10this stuff. And I have no problem with that, you know, but
- 50:15like when they try to force this issue and make it about anything other than
- 50:17who the context of the character is and they just like you know, go
- 50:21out these you know, archetypes. But you see the problem with Bound is
- 50:24is that Jena Gershawan and jenn and Jennifer Tilly are really attractive, which means
- 50:30they are all about the male gaze, which means that men benefit too much
- 50:35from watching it, which means it's problematic. So we can't have that.
- 50:37That's they would they would ban that movie, or they would remake it with
- 50:42like, you know, Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer, and then then we'd
- 50:46be subject to that. You know, we're like, oh, like Monique
- 50:51and uh, you know, I'm serious and like and like outrage, you
- 50:55know, and that's yeah, that would be That's what we would be be
- 50:59saddled with because it because the logic, it's a it's a never ending cycle
- 51:05of like oh this, you know this, this is enough, you know
- 51:08of this like wokeness or this is enough, and then like in two years
- 51:13it's not enough. Oh that was way too problematic. We got to step
- 51:15it up. Like the problem with progressivism is that it doesn't have an ending.
- 51:20It's just like a constantly spiraling thing. That's why they always eat each
- 51:22other because inevitably somebody is gonna step out a line. It's like a it's
- 51:27like a reverse earlier, you know, that spits everybody out that doesn't that
- 51:30doesn't like cling to the center as much as possible. Oh yeah, No,
- 51:35it's like I said earlier, allies are all eyes and it only takes
- 51:38one fraction and all of a sudden, you're part of the marginalized troglodites and
- 51:43deplorables that you know, need to know better, like you know that should
- 51:45be perched. Yeah, exactly, and so like and and as long as
- 51:50they can divorce themselves from the dark aspects of their dealings, they feel as
- 51:54though they're above it all and like it's not them, it's just you know,
- 51:58the societal ills that have to be done away with. And that sounds
- 52:00a lot like, you know, we are kind of you know, Germany,
- 52:05and like, you know, it's like they don't want to hear that,
- 52:07because it's like when you talk about like what is fascism, Fascism is
- 52:10you know, this conceit that you know, you can just use too much
- 52:13law in order to keep everyone in line, and that goes against the basis
- 52:17of actually, like you know, being able to well life. And it's
- 52:21the end product of statism. Everything outside this everything within the state, nothing
- 52:25outside of the state, right, everything for the state. So and they're
- 52:29okay with that because what I think the thing is, like, why are
- 52:32women drawn to fascism, because that's what we're talking about. Really, they
- 52:36are because fascism or a large, all powerful government is a good substitute for
- 52:44a man. It is essentially the replacement. And you can see this in,
- 52:50for example, the welfare state. So a single mom or a woman
- 52:54is on welfare, she has babies, the government tells her, the more
- 52:59babies you have, the more money will be abjected as long as yeah,
- 53:01as long as there isn't a man in the home, and so the government
- 53:06replaces a man. And women want a man that will keep them safe.
- 53:10So in the event that there is no man, then they want the government
- 53:14to do it. And that means that if the government says we will protect
- 53:16you, but you have to keep voting for you know, this guy or
- 53:21this party or whatever, then women will as long as they're in that position
- 53:24where they're in need of the state to replace a man, they will vote
- 53:29for that. And there is an incentive then from the government and then goos
- 53:32and the United Nations all these other groups to keep women in that position of
- 53:37being without a man so that they will continue to vote for that. And
- 53:40that's why we have a lot of the social problems we have today is a
- 53:45byproduct of that, and at no point does anyone have the courage to say,
- 53:51you know, women, we got to do something about this. Like
- 53:53it's getting out of like birth rates are falling and these kids are dying really
- 53:58young and there's no one protecting them and all kinds of problems. But yeah,
- 54:01it's it, is it. I think that's the one. And also,
- 54:06by the way, it's another thing I was gonna mention is educated women
- 54:10are a big part of this as well, because they go to school you
- 54:16were saying, you know, they go to university, They get indoctrinated public
- 54:20schools. It starts really early, and they go to university and they and
- 54:23they get these ideas in their head and they go out into the workforce and
- 54:27they're told that they're smarter than everybody because they have a piece of paper that
- 54:30says that they're smarter than everybody, and they start playing that out and they
- 54:32only learn this kind of like this maoist education about that teaches them about their
- 54:42world, that they're oppressed, that that men are out to get them,
- 54:44and that they're the enemy, but they're smarter than them, and they're empowered
- 54:47and they can you know, make change in the world, and so they
- 54:50go out and do that. And I think that this is the you know,
- 54:53there was a statistic not long ago that came out that said that in
- 54:57the United States, black women are the most educated demographic, which means the
- 55:05most indoctrinated like demographic, because like, to get a degree is not hard,
- 55:10like the standards are in the toilet. And I'm not saying anybody's dumb,
- 55:14but I'm saying that if you go to get a degree, you're gonna
- 55:16get one. You're gonna be six figures in debt, and you're gonna feel
- 55:21smarter than everybody and you're not. Like I think I've learned way more just
- 55:23being on the Internet than I ever did go into college. And I did
- 55:27go to college, you know, most definitely. I tell my nephews right
- 55:30now, like they're interested because like, you know, I went to game
- 55:34design school and all that kind of stuff. It's like they're kind of like,
- 55:36you know, like, oh, I'd like to do that. And
- 55:37I'm like, don't you know, buy a steam deck, you know,
- 55:40buy a steam deck and get some open source software that doesn't cost you anything,
- 55:44and for undre one thousand dollars you can. You know, as long
- 55:46as you got the talent, skill and ability and the drive and the passion
- 55:50to do this thing, that's what matters most about getting the job. You
- 55:53know that that degree is completely superfluous, especially when the most that they were
- 55:58trying to teach us was to prepare to go to GDC every where every year
- 56:02to do networking. And you know, it was about selling the sizzle,
- 56:06not the stake. And you know, like that and of itself was just
- 56:08kind of like, all right, this is completely inverted and what does this
- 56:13lead to? And you know, and so you know that's why I said,
- 56:16by the time I got out of out out of college, I was
- 56:21just kind of like, you know, I'm going to go focus on like
- 56:22using my talent, skill and abilities and arenas that can actually utilize it,
- 56:27and you know, maybe I'll get to the game industry again at some point
- 56:30in time. And you know, I had a small opportunity because one of
- 56:35my friends works for a rock star and they tried to bring me in and
- 56:39I told them, all right, can I just start in QA? And
- 56:42They're like, well, you got way too much background for that. You
- 56:44should be in design. I'm like, if I, if I'm good enough,
- 56:46I'll end up there eventually. And if you just try to make me
- 56:50run with the people that are coming out right now, I'm not gonna be
- 56:52able to compete with that because that's not who you're looking I'm not who you're
- 56:55looking for in those roles, you know. And and that's the thing is,
- 57:00like I firmly believe you want to make something better, you have to
- 57:02know how to break it and then fix it and like you know, make
- 57:06it more robust and actually deal with all these things. But what they teach
- 57:09now is you know, easy buttons and like this whole drive like you know,
- 57:14like I have no problem with a little bit of robot assistance. Like
- 57:15I couldn't do half my research if I didn't employ, you know, using
- 57:20an AI search bot to go and verify some stuff, because like that was
- 57:24the way that I was able to uh completely connect the dots between the WEF
- 57:29and the United Nations to the stuff I was researching, and really, like
- 57:31you know, just gave me a reason to just go on to it fully.
- 57:35And you know, but ultimately, the like like I was saying,
- 57:38the interesting thing that we're finding is that you know, a lot of these
- 57:42women that think that, you know, because it also plays the sensibility that
- 57:46women want the top ten percent of men. Well, when the man is
- 57:51a conceptual idea that's actually the government, then you know, it's just that
- 57:57that's like the hypergamy take into its lag basically, yeah, right, right
- 58:01right. It's just like how small, small, small businesses can't compete with
- 58:05this corporatist kind of world that's evolved, you know, from the clown show
- 58:08that you know, got incepted in twenty nineteen, and so like we're creating
- 58:13all these situations where you know, like everyone's just finding it easier just to
- 58:16go along with what's at the surface level, because to actually have depth and
- 58:21build character and struggle, nobody's built for that. By and large, that's
- 58:25not what they reinforce. They don't they don't try to teach you to like,
- 58:29you know, take the slings and bruises as they may come, and
- 58:30try to find a way to like rise above the difficulty, you know.
- 58:34Like, and so we end up with all these these cry bullies who you
- 58:37know, talk a big game, but then when push comes to shove,
- 58:40they immediately start looking for the brute squad to come in and like take care
- 58:44of their problems for them, you know. And that's to go back to
- 58:46that whole statement about the purge. That's what that's about. She doesn't want
- 58:50to necessarily end anybody herself, you know, she doesn't want to taken to
- 58:53mindcraft world by her own doing, but she'll certainly be glad to have like,
- 58:59you know, a security they come in and do that for her if
- 59:00necessary, you know, and if not today, definitely within five years.
- 59:06And that's like the whole kind of initiative behind like can we do this twenty
- 59:09thirty society where you'll own nothing and be happy and just be complacent and docile,
- 59:15you know, like and and so when they see men that are actually
- 59:19still men and women that are still women, and that goes against this whole
- 59:22kind of you know, top down kind of mentality of the control state.
- 59:29That's why we're the people that they, you know, try to rail against
- 59:31the most, because we're actually the legitimate competition for you know what they are
- 59:37trying to artificial and make artificial and superlative. Yeah. I think especially the
- 59:44men, because men generally tend to be more independent, more willing to take
- 59:50risks, more more able or willing to like sort of like you know,
- 59:53live on their own terms, and they are less sort of codependent. And
- 1:00:00the state hates that because a woman that is with a man like that is
- 1:00:06also going to be more likely to vote against the government. That's why I
- 1:00:08said, single women generally vote more for more government. Married women vote for
- 1:00:15less because they're concerned about their family and the role that the state plays in
- 1:00:20it. So they generally tend to vote that way. And I think that
- 1:00:22independently thinking man is a very dangerous thing to these people. And this is
- 1:00:29I think one of the reasons why male spaces have been They've been getting broken
- 1:00:32up for you know, a long long time, like way before video games
- 1:00:37existed, if you think about it, you know, going back to like
- 1:00:39when men would go to like you know, hunting lodges or golf clubs or
- 1:00:45fishing trips or whatever, and they go with they get away from the house
- 1:00:49for a while and go hang out with their buddies. And from that point
- 1:00:53there have been initiatives most excuse me, mostly led by women to break that
- 1:01:00up, you know, like the whole abolitionists not is no abolitionist movement,
- 1:01:05no no, not the abolitionists, I'm sorry, the you know, the
- 1:01:07the prohibition. Prohibition movement was set up and run by women that didn't want
- 1:01:12men going out and getting you know and drinking with other men. And the
- 1:01:15reasoning that they said was because they would come home and beat their wives.
- 1:01:19But that wasn't really the case. It was actually a very rare thing.
- 1:01:23They just didn't like that men were fraternizing with each other. Because when men
- 1:01:27spend time with each other, they start talking about stuff. They start talking
- 1:01:30about stuff that's important, they start talking about like you know, like what
- 1:01:34like, they start to organize, you know, and yeah, and fractentize,
- 1:01:37and so all of that stuff gets broken up, you know, either
- 1:01:40by people you know, engaging in entryism and then destroying it from the inside,
- 1:01:45which is what's happening here, or they just break it up in general.
- 1:01:47This is why you get you know, like just as a quick aside,
- 1:01:52you know, you have like these forums where men are talking to each
- 1:01:57other about dating and they're talking about fitness, talking about sports, or they're
- 1:02:00talking about whatever, right girls, and all of that is like considered they
- 1:02:06treated as dangerous. They're they're afraid the government monitors them. I don't know
- 1:02:09if you know this, but like you probably do. You know that the
- 1:02:13CIA and the Department of Homeland Security and these other groups, they they monitor
- 1:02:16these male uh, these majority male spaces. That's why they they're they're involved
- 1:02:22with this stuff on Steam, but they're also on on forums for Manisphere content
- 1:02:29or in cells or whatever it is, political discussions. They're on Reddit,
- 1:02:34they're on four Chan, and they're doing that because they're monitoring male behavior because
- 1:02:37and they're and they often you know, will make that an issue and you'll
- 1:02:43see activists will start coming out and journalists will start coming out, and they'll
- 1:02:46base, Oh, this is this is a problem, isn't it These men
- 1:02:49all hanging out to get together. It's really just about control. It's about
- 1:02:52breaking this up because men are that are organized and they're working cooperatively. I
- 1:02:59mean, they're things they can do that you know, not the state can't
- 1:03:02do because it's generally inefficient, you know, and it also is run by
- 1:03:08men. So like this. I think that that's the reason why I think
- 1:03:12the gamers got targeted because it's something that men were doing mostly and they were
- 1:03:15doing it without anybody's like, they didn't need anyone helping us out. We
- 1:03:21were having fun over here doing our thing, and they were like, well,
- 1:03:23they can't have that. So they start problematizing it and they start to
- 1:03:28you get people that want to they say, oh, would you Liz let
- 1:03:30me, you know, join you or whatever, and then they join,
- 1:03:34and then all of a sudden they're like, oh, you know, this
- 1:03:36is all great and everything, but could you guys change this thing and this
- 1:03:39thing and act this way and stop saying this thing? And all of a
- 1:03:43sudden it's nothing like it was when they first joined. So this is the
- 1:03:47thing that I think people have to respond to. Oh you dropped, you
- 1:03:52dropped. Oh let me let me invite you to as co hosts. You
- 1:03:58didn't get quiet, and I'll invite you to speak again too. Sorry about
- 1:04:02that. See space is a little jankie. Thanks for telling me, though,
- 1:04:08John, he should be joining in just a moment. There's a little
- 1:04:13lag. So if you guys have any questions or anything, and I'm watching
- 1:04:18the folks that are on Honey Badger Arcade, what's up? Uh? If
- 1:04:23you guys have any questions, send me, you know, a super chat
- 1:04:26or a super chow and I will be sure to read it. I did
- 1:04:29get a super chat from a thunders. He says gamers will win because we
- 1:04:31have the power of God and autism. That's right, Christ is King real,
- 1:04:41the real. Bob Newban says Gamergate needs game devs too. Well,
- 1:04:44yeah, well we got we got grums. Drums is a you know,
- 1:04:46he's been very vocal. Let me see if it looks like he dropped out.
- 1:04:53So I'm gonna wait and see if John gets back in. Uh,
- 1:04:58let me see. I see that the q sel are you You're still there?
- 1:05:00I see so, Uh, let me let me just ask him to
- 1:05:05join again. Let's see if he Let's see if he gets in. Yeah,
- 1:05:14this thing is a little bit jank elon musk. You need to get
- 1:05:16on that. Fix this. This is. This is this could be a
- 1:05:19really good tool. Could be a really good tool. Ragie Raht says,
- 1:05:25why, I don't know what you mean. I checked the links for the
- 1:05:29guests. Neither are working. That's weird. I may have to do another
- 1:05:36one. I guess that doesn't make sense. One guy is better than none.
- 1:05:42Uh let's see, uh problematic white guy. Yeah, I see that.
- 1:05:49I'm gonna wait and see if he comes back in. I sent him
- 1:05:54a message. Still nothing. In the meantime, I can look at some
- 1:06:00other articles. I do have a bunch of stuff. As you can see
- 1:06:04though, if you look at the GDC conference, which is supposed to be
- 1:06:09the Game Developers Conference, they don't talk about video games. So we got
- 1:06:13this workshop. It's a climate crisis workshop. Use your game developer superpowers to
- 1:06:17fight the climate crisis. Again, it presumes that there is one. All
- 1:06:20right, oh and there you go. You're back. Okay, it's all
- 1:06:27right. It was it was I think I think it's it was Twitter.
- 1:06:30What was the last thing you heard me say? Geez yeah, don't worry
- 1:06:36about it. Don't worry about it. We'll we will. Let me see,
- 1:06:43Brian, you should invite Turning Points Ryan Grimm to fireside. Well,
- 1:06:46I'll look him up. I don't know who that is, but just tell
- 1:06:49me in the comments after, you know, put a comment in, oh
- 1:06:53oh, you were talking about the temperance movement and h and how oh yeah
- 1:06:57it was it was actually the prof they were using it to break up,
- 1:07:01you know, basically men going to bars. I was just basically remarking that,
- 1:07:04like you know, it's all about breaking up like male spaces, so
- 1:07:09like right now. You know, you got like the Department of Homeland Security,
- 1:07:12and they're like monitoring male spaces like the like the Manisphere or you know
- 1:07:17or read it or four chan or gaming on Steam, you know groups,
- 1:07:21And this is known. So it's not like they'll tell you like, oh,
- 1:07:25it's because we're worried about violence or whatever. But they're just monitoring where
- 1:07:29men are at, you know, most definitely, you know what, Like
- 1:07:33up until twenty nineteen and maybe into twenty twenty, I used to have like
- 1:07:39a group of guys that I've known for you know, decades, you know,
- 1:07:43and we would play online games all the time together, right and you
- 1:07:47know, now, like one of them is like my oldest friend, and
- 1:07:51he's the only one that I still am able to even talk to in the
- 1:07:55chat room that we had specifically to meet up and do gaming all the time.
- 1:07:58And I know, like people's lives kind of ebb and flow and like
- 1:08:00you know, you go out and get things. But yeah, no,
- 1:08:03what you were saying is specifically an outgrowth of that whole idea of they don't
- 1:08:08want men to be able to have like camaraderie and just like some fealty to
- 1:08:13actually you know, be able to let off steam, be able to like
- 1:08:15you know, say things in a manner that kind of gives them a little
- 1:08:18bit more uh, you know, understanding of you know, being in this
- 1:08:24world and mentor each other, you know, past wisdom along that kind of
- 1:08:28thing, right right right right yeah, and that and I swear that's part
- 1:08:30of like that was also part of the push of putting us into clown world,
- 1:08:34was you know, break up small businesses, break up you know,
- 1:08:40fellowship and like you know, like people's actual ability to uh connect because you
- 1:08:45know, it's not one of those This is where I'm gonna get it like
- 1:08:46a little bit wooshu. But I firmly believe that there's nothing solid in reality,
- 1:08:50including us, Like we're made of particles or made of energy fields and
- 1:08:55everything like that, and so you know, like uh and we'd set back
- 1:08:59to the real anversations just like but I just kind of want to get this
- 1:09:00out there. Is like part of that whole thing about the six foot distance
- 1:09:04between each other was you know, friction happens no matter what you know,
- 1:09:09and if it's solid things, we understand it. Like two sticks revenue together
- 1:09:13is really easy. But if you're in someone's you know, energetic field you're
- 1:09:18having energetic friction and parts of you, you know, cascade into each other.
- 1:09:24And the more that we're able to actually have this communal aspect and be
- 1:09:27good with it, the more we can actually appreciate other people's perspectives and viewpoints.
- 1:09:31And so that that was half the reason for doing the dismantling and putting
- 1:09:34people outside of their sphere of actual you know, energetic field space, so
- 1:09:41that they could make the detachment more more pliable. And and I swear that's
- 1:09:46that's ultimately what's happened is like men have been from this whole event that's taken
- 1:09:53place, that we've been divided down to the spiritual level, it seems.
- 1:09:57And you know, and if you look at trends of what's going on in
- 1:10:01the world, like, you know, like they don't want to talk about
- 1:10:03it, but you know a lot of a lot of men are ending up
- 1:10:06in Minecraft World these days, you know, as an outgrowth to this inability
- 1:10:12to actually just be able to you know, release their stress and vent and
- 1:10:16actually be able to deal with it in a manageable way before it gets to
- 1:10:19that point. Yeah, when you say Minecraft World, you're not talking about
- 1:10:23the video games. So yeah, I know, I know what you mean.
- 1:10:26Yes, yeah, well we like this again. You know, a
- 1:10:29Bagel live streams we talk about men's issues, and that is one of the
- 1:10:31primary ones, and it's one that a lot of people don't want to hear
- 1:10:34about, but it is true. You are absolutely correct. I think that
- 1:10:39when we have something we don't have something like I don't know, hired to
- 1:10:45strive towards or work towards, and there's no purpose to our life, then
- 1:10:48yeah, that starts to look really appealing. And I think that in particular
- 1:10:53that's the case with men because men are basically excluded from like almost everything,
- 1:10:58Like there's no there's no support system, there's no there's no encouragement of friendship,
- 1:11:01there's no uh you know, community, and and I think that it's
- 1:11:06absolutely necessary. I mean, gaming is what's left. Like, why do
- 1:11:10you think, just as an aside, let's talk about some gamer shit.
- 1:11:13Why do you think Hell Divers two is so popular? Oh, Hell Divers
- 1:11:16too. It's it's it's got a twitch factor that's immediate, but it's also
- 1:11:20just got like an opportunity, like you know, like it's rampant chaos,
- 1:11:25you know, like the people that are complaining about, well, why is
- 1:11:28it always got to have like you know, like a no friendly fire going.
- 1:11:30And it's like, because that's the way the games built. Everything in
- 1:11:32there responds to bullets, bullets or bullets, you know, and you know,
- 1:11:36like and so like there's this actual kind of you know, visceral appeal
- 1:11:41to it that and like you know, Starship Troopers. Even though the movie
- 1:11:45is very different from the book, the movie is great because it's one of
- 1:11:49my wife's favorite movies. That's how that's that's she loves it, Like we
- 1:11:54watch it together sometimes because it is so like I don't know, like,
- 1:11:59OK with what it is. I guess so yeah, And I think that
- 1:12:02that's kind of the thing too with Hell Divers. It's like, you know,
- 1:12:05do we actually want to live in that reality? No, but no,
- 1:12:09it's a fantasy. It's an escapism. It's not connected to all this
- 1:12:13other stuff that they're trying to keep us locked in all the time. And
- 1:12:15that's why it works so well, is you know, Yes, I mean
- 1:12:18and I think that there is because it is you know, like there's no
- 1:12:24competitive mode. It's a completely cooperative thing, you know, like men or
- 1:12:29I mean, it is mostly men playing, but not exclusively, but like
- 1:12:32we we get to go on there, we get to play with our bros,
- 1:12:34work together, Hey, people die, whatever, we keep going.
- 1:12:38It's a laugh. I think I think it's because of the fact that there's
- 1:12:42like a serious bond that can happen, you know, Oh we lost him
- 1:12:46again. Shit what Oh No, I just got a message from you saying
- 1:12:50that loss audio. I don't know, I just got that. Oh.
- 1:12:54I think I think maybe it might have been my Internet because like, oh,
- 1:12:58it might and it's just like a slow delay on the message that or
- 1:13:00like, yeah, I'm spending too much truth in like the my none.
- 1:13:04It could be the algorithm doing things. But I think I think that what
- 1:13:09I'm getting at though, is ultimately I think it is because it's like the
- 1:13:13last It's it is a last bastion for you know, people to like talk
- 1:13:17to each other and spend time together. And that's what to me, that's
- 1:13:21what Honey Badger Arcade is all about. Like I I have a gaming channel,
- 1:13:25but I use it to form community, to to talk to people in
- 1:13:29the chat while I play a game or if I can I play with people,
- 1:13:32you know, at every opportunity that I'm able to, or I'll play
- 1:13:35games with my wife and I'll expose her to stuff, or I'll let her
- 1:13:39play and I'll just hang out and watch and talk to her, because I
- 1:13:41think that that's when, you know, we can we can like share something
- 1:13:45together, and I think that is it's a really great thing. I mean,
- 1:13:47you were talking about how you were in northwest, the northwest part of
- 1:13:54the States, right did you leave there? Are you still there? Uh?
- 1:13:58Yeah? Yeah, no, no, no, when when COVID hell
- 1:14:00World, when that push came to shove, I wasn't vaccinated, so like
- 1:14:03I couldn't even get a new apartment. And the way that my job was
- 1:14:08situated, Yeah, the way that my job was situated, my apartment comp
- 1:14:13the apartment that I lived in, Just to give you kind of like the
- 1:14:15state of reality that we are living in and how techno feudal it already is.
- 1:14:19You know, I was living in one of the most gilded cities that
- 1:14:23there can be. I couldn't afford to like, you know, be on
- 1:14:25the lease myself. They wouldn't allow me to live there. And so part
- 1:14:28of my work contract was the doctor that I worked for, she had the
- 1:14:31lease on my apartment. So when she gave me the boot. You know,
- 1:14:35there was no way that I could afford to even like go and look
- 1:14:39at a place, let alone, because of the health world situation that was
- 1:14:43in play. People wouldn't even allow me to come look at anything, even
- 1:14:46if I had money in the bank account. And so I was like,
- 1:14:48all right, So, you know, like like this week, I was
- 1:14:51supposed to be up there closing out my storage units, bring my stuff back
- 1:14:56to the Midwest finally after two years, and you know, and instead,
- 1:15:00like we had this weird freak blizzard at the beginning of the week and now
- 1:15:02all the snow's melted and so like that makes me kind of question it,
- 1:15:05but you know how that even happened. But uh m hmm. But you
- 1:15:11know, uh, it was one of those things where like I just kind
- 1:15:13of was like, all right, well, you know again to go back
- 1:15:15to them. Like my thing about wizards. You know, wizards rarely go
- 1:15:18wherever they want to or choose to. They're called and like you know,
- 1:15:24beckoned into the situations that they're they're needed for. And the last few days,
- 1:15:28once I realized I wasn't gonna be able to to take my trip,
- 1:15:30you know, uh, the video that I released today is by far,
- 1:15:34it's my best work since I was in art school. And like, I've
- 1:15:36made a video back in art school that made somebody so angry they broke my
- 1:15:42heart, they broke my hard drive and so like, and so like that's
- 1:15:45that to me, is like the definition of a real artist is when you
- 1:15:47can get such a response out of somebody that you know, it goes beyond,
- 1:15:51you know, just the norms and and so you know, when I
- 1:15:56was like, all right, well, I'm stuck here. I've already done
- 1:15:58this much work, I've done this much research. What happens if I go
- 1:16:00and like, you know, try to learn key frame animation again that I
- 1:16:03haven't done in ten years and all this kind of stuff. And I just
- 1:16:05want to push myself and like better my craft so that you know, like
- 1:16:10people will actually because one of the one of the biggest criticism I got last
- 1:16:15week was from my video about just reading the documents making connection from you know,
- 1:16:20the game to the game Developers Conference to the inception of the WF from
- 1:16:26the un and you know, the Rockfeller Center. All these think tanks and
- 1:16:29people are like, your video is way too long. It needs to be
- 1:16:30twenty minutes and needs to be And I'm like, okay, okay, I'm
- 1:16:33not trying to chase algorithms. I'm not trying to like, you know,
- 1:16:35make trends. I'm not trying to do any of the stuff that other people
- 1:16:39are doing. But if that's all you want, you don't understand that you,
- 1:16:43yourself, are fueling and exacerbating this situation that's at hand. Because I
- 1:16:47had some people sitting here saying, oh, well, he's just a truther
- 1:16:49and he's just gonna like I'm like, no, I think I Like,
- 1:16:53there's no cutaways in that video or anything like that. It's just an hour,
- 1:16:57a little over an hour of me just reading documents, and and I
- 1:17:00have all the documents right there in the description so people can go do their
- 1:17:03own research verify that I'm you know, actually saying something that's valid because it
- 1:17:08comes from the various sources that I'm talking about, and you know, and
- 1:17:12that's the thing is, like we need to learn to be more discerning.
- 1:17:15We need to open ourselves up a little bit, because, like I was
- 1:17:17saying earlier about like the whole thing about star Belly sneeches, they want us
- 1:17:20to be just as reactionary as they are, because that keeps this whole thing
- 1:17:25moving forward and keeps the focus off of where it needs to be, which
- 1:17:29is the centralized control state that's taking shape through the back channels until we lose
- 1:17:34every ounce of freedom and liberty we have and we're in a complete, you
- 1:17:39know, control state that's able to be locked down by you know, digital
- 1:17:44currencies, limited range, electric vehicles, social you know, like your social
- 1:17:49score kind of driving, all that kind of stuff. And that's why they
- 1:17:51use video games actually, is because all the things that they need to program
- 1:17:56that stuff into the system they're already doing in service model games, yeah,
- 1:18:00you know. And so like this is the you know boiling of the frog
- 1:18:04and just doing a degree by degree until like you know, the frogs unable
- 1:18:09to like even like you know, save himself at that point. And that's
- 1:18:13where it's so important for us right now to actually use this time and opportunity
- 1:18:17to learn to come together in good faith and fellowship. Like I don't care
- 1:18:21like what your you know, belief system is entirely in that kind of thing.
- 1:18:25The only thing as long as you're a human and you're willing to give
- 1:18:28me a little bit of wibble room. I will allow you to have your
- 1:18:30own perspectives on things and you know, opinions, and you can be completely
- 1:18:35at odds with me on certain things. And you know, like yeah,
- 1:18:39and now I can actually do that again. Whereas you know, ten years
- 1:18:43living in the Pacific Northwest, I was I was amongst those people that was
- 1:18:46like sitting here saying, oh, you know, they with all the vitriol
- 1:18:50and kind of like you know, saying, oh, these people are deplorable
- 1:18:53and they just you know, it's like and then I had to like,
- 1:18:55you know, actually like deal with the situation. Was like you know,
- 1:18:57John, like you're you're getting caught up in the fire and you need to
- 1:19:01step outside the fire and actually, like you know, take the time to
- 1:19:05reconnect with your humanity, forgive yourself so that you can forgive other people,
- 1:19:11you know, and and and I mean like that's that's I mean, it
- 1:19:15seems like simple little things. But they want us to live in a complex
- 1:19:18world and all that complexity, like they say, the devil's in the details,
- 1:19:23and we live in this highly highly detailed reality now where everything is ultra
- 1:19:28high death and like you know, you know, all these kinds of things,
- 1:19:30but like the actual the binding force of it all is we're all just
- 1:19:33simple people, and if we could actually appreciate that, we wouldn't you know,
- 1:19:39allow ourselves to be led by you know, like we're living in a
- 1:19:42world that is trying to steer the ocean from the boat, and that doesn't
- 1:19:46make any sense. You know, like like the ocean, if it wants
- 1:19:50to topple the boat, it will do it, and you know for the
- 1:19:55boat to you know, like my last video, I was talking about the
- 1:19:58fleas and the dog analogy, and you know, it's kind of like it's
- 1:20:01kind of the same principle of you know, if you're inside the micro of
- 1:20:05the macro, to sit here and try to talk about like the macro as
- 1:20:10though you have control over it, like this whole idea that they're going to
- 1:20:13use climate change to you know, enact these policies and things like that.
- 1:20:17It's it's just pulling at people's emotional heartstrings and getting It's like putting a penny
- 1:20:24in a fuse box so you can arc the breaker and just get electricity to
- 1:20:30go through and eventually it will work. But eventually it's going to burn the
- 1:20:33whole house down. And that's yeah, that's what we're seeing take place slowly
- 1:20:38but surely. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I was originally I was born
- 1:20:43and grew up in Chicago, and when twenty twenty came and we got the
- 1:20:49Summer of Love, that was when I left because the chaos and violence was
- 1:20:54too much. And my wife, who I who emigrated to this country from
- 1:20:59Canada, you know, she was like experiencing this stuff firsthand and was really
- 1:21:03afraid. So we moved to Virginia, which is where we are now,
- 1:21:06to get away from the craziness. And it's actually, you know, I
- 1:21:09wouldn't say it's really rural, but it's definitely more rural than Chicago was.
- 1:21:13But yeah, so I feel your pain. I'm basically saying that I was,
- 1:21:16you know, I experienced the same. Oh yeah, I actually lived
- 1:21:19in Virginia for a time there myself. I've been all over this country actually,
- 1:21:24Oh okay, wow, that's cool. I think that's part of the
- 1:21:26reason why I'm able to have a little bit more discernment about some of the
- 1:21:30stuff is because I've lived in small towns, I've lived in giant cities.
- 1:21:31I've you know, I've known people of all kinds of different levels of the
- 1:21:35socio economic status and whatnot. And you know, like I've had very you
- 1:21:41know, like I've been in the tallest tower when I was living in Seattle,
- 1:21:45able to look down over the entire city and like this, you know,
- 1:21:47like prestigious kind of restaurant as Like what's prestigious about it? Because like,
- 1:21:51you know, it's like my last video where I was talking about the
- 1:21:54Center of Excellence. That's a name they gave themselves, you know. Yeah,
- 1:21:58and and so much of this stuff is done in the concept of framing.
- 1:22:00And if they can just get you to go along with the show and
- 1:22:03tell in the cell job, you never take the time to actually investigate what
- 1:22:06it's all really about. Yeah, this is why they always defer to expertise,
- 1:22:12right, And I think people have figured this out after the COVID thing.
- 1:22:15They're like, the experts say this. And at first, maybe years
- 1:22:18ago, people just said, oh, yeah, well the experts, I
- 1:22:20mean they sound smart. I mean the word expert is in the name.
- 1:22:25But now people, I think more people are like, well that doesn't mean
- 1:22:28shit, Like, you know, show me some receipts, and I think
- 1:22:30that's like, I'm glad. I think that people's consciousness and yes, it's
- 1:22:39they're becoming more critical and I'm here for one hundred percent. It has already,
- 1:22:44like twenty twenty four, it's only March. It's been a crazy year
- 1:22:45so far. And I mean in terms of like people's awareness of what's going
- 1:22:50on. So I got a super chap. I gotta read it. Iggy
- 1:22:55Thunders gave us five bucks. Thank you, Iggy and says, why does
- 1:22:59Hardy have a shiner? And why did they select that photo to can coincide
- 1:23:01with an article about gamers? Gamers didn't touch her? Liars? Well,
- 1:23:04this is actually no, no, This picture is from Phantom Polls. Phantom
- 1:23:10Polse is a friend. This is John Dela Ros. He writes books and
- 1:23:14comics and stuff. He was involved in Comics Gate early on. I don't
- 1:23:16know why this is the picture is used. I'd have to ask him.
- 1:23:19But this was an artistic decision or well she was making a claim. I
- 1:23:24don't know. You know, it could be along the same lines as me
- 1:23:27being problematic white guy. You know, it's kind of like yeah, yeah,
- 1:23:30here, well there is because there's a lot there's a lot of people
- 1:23:32who think that words are violence these days, and like they want to get
- 1:23:35across that, and it's like, you know, words are words are words.
- 1:23:39Violence is violence, and only people who have never actually experienced violence will
- 1:23:43conflate the two as being the same, you know, And so you know,
- 1:23:45maybe maybe and and and this is just you know, like my artistic
- 1:23:48guy, it's like, I mean, I see it, and it's kind
- 1:23:51of like, oh, it draws you to the thing, but when if
- 1:23:55you actually read the context, you know, and that's what the article is
- 1:23:57about. Is the context, not the bioline, not the picture up this
- 1:24:00or that, and so you know, the small details are just that,
- 1:24:03they're small details, and if you get too caught up, it's like it's
- 1:24:06like missing the forest for the trees, you know. Mm hmmmm hmm.
- 1:24:10So yeah, you know I love too closely at this. Yeah yeah,
- 1:24:13but yeah, for sure. Somebody said something funny in my chat over at
- 1:24:16Badger Arcade. Heiner lige. I hope I'm not butchering that. I'm sure
- 1:24:21I am, says uh in gig One, I was in a very different
- 1:24:25place rejected their accusations. Now for the most part, I'll just be chad,
- 1:24:30yes, yes, gotta thank those people kicking up a fuss against gamers
- 1:24:34back then for awakening the lions, Well that that's it. That's what it
- 1:24:38is, right, Like I was saying this back then, and I got
- 1:24:41accused of this or that thing, you know, because I was like staunchly
- 1:24:45against it. But I think the reason was because I was starting my awakening
- 1:24:49before a lot of other people were. And now and so and I believe
- 1:24:54And I don't know what you think about this, but some people who are
- 1:25:00or were involved with Gamergate and have sense I think that I believe that gamer
- 1:25:05Gate when it happened in twenty fourteen, and the sort of the conversation going
- 1:25:10on at the on the internet about you know, ideological possession at the time
- 1:25:15so more broadly, not just like Gamergate specifically, but just like the way
- 1:25:18things were being reported, et cetera. Was it led into and I think
- 1:25:25there is a a a river. I guess you could say that flows from
- 1:25:29that into things like Brexit, into Trump, but also into COVID, into
- 1:25:34Ukraine and everything else, into like the growth of all of these like various
- 1:25:41alternative media platforms that people started, like Lotus Eaters and you know these other
- 1:25:47ones. What do you think about that? Do you think that that has
- 1:25:50legs on it that theory, oh most most definitely, because I mean,
- 1:25:54like it even goes like gamer Gate. The first gamer Gate itself was an
- 1:25:58extension of the stuff that I was talking about early about like the GC two
- 1:26:00thousand and nine where it became a celebration of women. And if you just
- 1:26:05look at the way that GDC has contorted and shaved and changed its shape and
- 1:26:10its motives over the last fifteen years since that happened. If you go to
- 1:26:14the front page of GDC right now, the dropdown menuon there about section has
- 1:26:16two different things on there about like diversity, equity, inclusion, insanity and
- 1:26:21sustainability efforts. And so that's what it's about. And that's where I talked
- 1:26:26about it, like just being the soft puppet that's there to gesticulate and act
- 1:26:30like it's still this thing that is supposed to be for gamers, but the
- 1:26:32entire time they're working on you, and they're trying to undermine your sensibilities and
- 1:26:35get you to like, you know, like believe that you know red is
- 1:26:39blue and like up is down and all this kind of insanity and like and
- 1:26:43you know, the work that this arched Rock Think Tank did specifical you sent
- 1:26:51me the did you send me that link? Which I believe it? Oh,
- 1:26:57I see it. Yeah here it is Innovative and Finance Solutions. Yes,
- 1:27:02yeah, go ahead, and so like and so like you know,
- 1:27:06this arch Rock think tank, their their whole idea, Like they were paid
- 1:27:11to, uh make a prototype for a virtual reality simulation so they can go
- 1:27:15and they can put people artificially in the place where they want their mind's eye
- 1:27:19to be. And so you know, and and so in that video,
- 1:27:23I'm talking about how like you know, twenty years ago they were talking about
- 1:27:26how we were going to be underwater and California was already gonna be gone,
- 1:27:29in Florida was going to be under the ocean and all this kind of stupid
- 1:27:30shit and inconvenient truth. And the truth is that is that it was just
- 1:27:35a cell job by a con man who wanted to like you know, start
- 1:27:39this you know, means to an end, and we're just seeing the outgrowth
- 1:27:43of that, just like the zombie economy through inflation that you know, when
- 1:27:45you talk about what is the deep state, it's it's the stock market,
- 1:27:49you know, it's all this stuff that doesn't have to deal with being elected
- 1:27:54or having to be you know, accountable to anything. They just make you
- 1:27:56beholden to their dealings. That's why they did the whole thing with Too Big
- 1:28:00to Fail. All these things that we're seeing are like, you know,
- 1:28:03it's like looking at a plate of spaghetti and you can pull any one individual
- 1:28:09noodle and it's gonna have like a whole bunch of like spice and sauce and
- 1:28:13stuff like that to go with it, but all of it together is mishmashed
- 1:28:16and weird kind of web that you know, makes it what it is,
- 1:28:20and you know, and to untangle it all, you know, like you
- 1:28:25would go crazy. And that's where a lot of people just, you know,
- 1:28:28they become desensitized to it almost because it involves more time, trust,
- 1:28:32and consideration in themselves to actually work through it than to just become debased and
- 1:28:39numb and you know, comfortable with like all the insanity that's going on around
- 1:28:44us. And it's the thing that kind of drives this kind of snarky kind
- 1:28:47of you know, sense of what comedy is now and you know, it's
- 1:28:53like god, yeah, I mean it's just like there's no nuance, there's
- 1:28:58no like sophistication in the way that people can have a dark laugh. Everything
- 1:29:00has to be so like you know. But I will say I think comedy
- 1:29:04is starting to come around. I think that it's starting like that. What's
- 1:29:09that guy he was on SNL not long ago, I forget his name,
- 1:29:14kind of a fat guy he does like yeah, I know, my god,
- 1:29:16so hilleous. I was dying. I was like, dude, this
- 1:29:19guy is going to be a legend because the field is so dry. I'm
- 1:29:25sure if somebody in the chat's gonna very funny guy. But anyway, I
- 1:29:30but I agree with you one hundred percent on that. Yes, I mean
- 1:29:32every every area where we would be able to find a release valve, because
- 1:29:39that's what is. You know, A lot of this is right, whether
- 1:29:42it's like, oh I had a long day at work, I want to
- 1:29:44play some video games. I want to listen to this, I want to
- 1:29:45listen to the radio. I want to watch some TV. I want to
- 1:29:47watch a movie. I want to listen to some a comedy special. All
- 1:29:50of these things are like completely like like just it's it's like a boulder was
- 1:29:57dropped on them, you know, and and you can't enjoy it. There
- 1:30:00has to be a sermon crammed in there somewhere, And I think the purpose
- 1:30:03of it is to demoralize us until we normalize it. We're just like,
- 1:30:08well, that's just the way it is. Now, that's just comedy.
- 1:30:10Now, you know, it's not funny on purpose. We're gonna go,
- 1:30:13yeah, it becomes a new normal. Let's go watch some Hannah Gatsby.
- 1:30:15It's okay, you know, right right, so, but yeah, so
- 1:30:23and well I will say this because I mean, and a lot of the
- 1:30:26people I know are pretty demoralized. But what do you think is something that
- 1:30:32people like, what do you think is something that people can do to cope?
- 1:30:39And I and I and I know that cope is sort of seen as
- 1:30:41a bad thing, but I think that there is there there is like some
- 1:30:45use in finding a means to hope while they're being doing it right now.
- 1:30:51Yeah, like you have to you have to be able to You just have
- 1:30:54to be willing to engage with people and actually get a little bit of,
- 1:30:57you know, deference from your own experience. Like we used to commiserate through
- 1:31:00the misery, and now since lockdown Hill world began, like everybody's just supposed
- 1:31:04to be in their own little bubble and not like actually like be concerned about
- 1:31:08their fellow man on that race, right, and so you know, like
- 1:31:13you know, like I was saying, it starts with like forgiveness of yourself
- 1:31:16and like finding like you know, some compassion to like actually, like so
- 1:31:19many people eat food like products, but they don't actually eat food anymore,
- 1:31:24Right, And so I'm constantly extolling to people the virtue of starting a garden
- 1:31:28and like having it be organic and not because like you know, I'm some
- 1:31:31you know, hipster jackass from the Pacific Northwest, although I've been called up
- 1:31:35plenty of times, but it's because, you know, like when someone like
- 1:31:40Bill Gates owns the majority of the farmland in America and the majority of the
- 1:31:44food is filled with pesticides and he's trying to like, you know, also
- 1:31:46blot out the sun and everything like that, there's a certain revelation point where
- 1:31:49you're like, maybe that's not the stuff I should be putting inside of me,
- 1:31:53because you know, yes, the more you reinforce a thing, I
- 1:31:57firmly believe that, you know, people's bad diets create people's bad thoughts because
- 1:32:00there's so much clouded kind of bullshit running through their system that they can't you
- 1:32:04know, actually discern anymore. And so and the way these food like products
- 1:32:09are made, you know, it just it it jumps their circuit breaker,
- 1:32:13and like they're unable to actually process things appropriately. And so you know,
- 1:32:16like I say, start a garden, play some games with your friends,
- 1:32:19like actually find that way to break from the madness, because you all,
- 1:32:24if you have the madness to steer you, it's it's got us exactly where
- 1:32:28it wants, you know. And this is what I was saying earlier about
- 1:32:30like the want to want you know, and they want us at this tipping
- 1:32:34point of insanity rather than like you know, actually being able to say,
- 1:32:38you know what, maybe I can like step back from some of the things
- 1:32:41that I hold to be so true, like the importance to be able to
- 1:32:45laugh at yourself is you know, like that's that's again that's another reason why
- 1:32:49it's problematic, White guy, because it's like, why would you call it
- 1:32:51yourself that? You know, I've been asked it's like because it's funny.
- 1:32:55You know. It's in twenty twenty three when I actually say, I think
- 1:32:59it was tail in twenty two too, is when I made the name.
- 1:33:00You know, it was such a you know that that phrase came out of
- 1:33:03nowhere all of a sudden, everything was problematic this and that, and so
- 1:33:06like I was just like I was in a chat room in Friday night tights
- 1:33:10and uh we were railing on uh rings of prime as I like to call
- 1:33:15it, yeah and uh yeah and uh and it just kind of like it
- 1:33:20it just hit me like a lightning bolt that day, and I just changed
- 1:33:24my name right there, you know, in the middle of the chat.
- 1:33:26And that's why it's actually John Richards slash problematic White Guy is because I didn't
- 1:33:30want people, you know, because I kind of developed a little bit of
- 1:33:32a following in the chat, so I wanted people to know that I was
- 1:33:35still that same guy. I was just like I was taking on this handle
- 1:33:39now and and so you know, I often say, you know, Gary,
- 1:33:44uh you know inspired me to get involved with like doing a YouTube thing,
- 1:33:47but nerd Wars really kind of, you know, just instilled in me
- 1:33:51like the you know, this is why you need to do this, and
- 1:33:55you need to do it now because it you know, because because he does
- 1:33:58talk about things that other people aren't taking the time to dive into. And
- 1:34:02I saw that he was just kind of like he had a little bit of
- 1:34:05you know, a following because you put out like a really good video or
- 1:34:10two and I and I just tried to get involved in because I was like,
- 1:34:14you know, this guy's like a kindred spirit, and you know,
- 1:34:17I feel like I could talk to him about things that nobody else is going
- 1:34:20to want to talk about, you know, and we both, you know,
- 1:34:25we both have a backstory that kind of involves being an audience to Alex
- 1:34:30Jones, you know, because he's got a sunglasses that he always has on
- 1:34:32most of his videos and yeah, and so and so I was like,
- 1:34:34all right, well, you know, this is like the perfect fusion between
- 1:34:38Nerd Rotic and Info Wars. That's why it's nerd Wars. And I just
- 1:34:41I you know, and so I I started to support him, and then
- 1:34:45he got involved with Angry Badger, and I started support Angry Badger, and
- 1:34:48you know, I'm like, but surely, you know, like since we've
- 1:34:50all kind of been working together, they definitely have far more success so far
- 1:34:55than I have. But you know, for a guy who's you know,
- 1:34:58in his mid forties, who just kind of like, you know, as
- 1:35:01spent the last two three years of my life trying to undo the damage of
- 1:35:04being cast aside. This is the most I felt alive in years. And
- 1:35:10that's what I mean by you know, you have to just learn to live
- 1:35:13again and learn to do the things that like are good for you, just
- 1:35:15as a in terms of being an artist, like I went to art school,
- 1:35:17you know, and I spent ten years working in an office and they
- 1:35:20were just drilling it out of me, and like trying to take away my
- 1:35:24sense of humor and my sensibilities and my ability to just kind of laugh at
- 1:35:27myself. I was becoming one of those rigid jackasses with a stick of his
- 1:35:30ass who you know, was taking things far too seriously and thankfully disconnecting from
- 1:35:35all that and kind of like having this experience, you know, like I've
- 1:35:38been humbled by the world in a way that you know, uh, you
- 1:35:43know, like I don't necessarily adhere to any specific religion, but I do
- 1:35:46have good faith, and I believe that, you know, no matter what
- 1:35:48you call it, as long as you have good faith, ultimately we all,
- 1:35:53you know, can work together. And actually, like, you know,
- 1:35:56see the thing that we're all kind of focused on together, and I
- 1:36:00think I think that's the other thing that that is lost in the world right
- 1:36:02now is people are just they're told to just trust in the government, not
- 1:36:06have faith in your fellow man. That's right, And well, well,
- 1:36:13well they're yeah, they're basically being they're basically being conditioned to see the government
- 1:36:18as their god. And so like they're they're there were they're just substituting,
- 1:36:23you know, whatever religion they had before with this status religion. But well,
- 1:36:28I will say that I really appreciate the all that you have said,
- 1:36:30and welcome to this community because I'm all about making that grow. And I
- 1:36:34I would say also, when this is over, you guys share this around.
- 1:36:38Please share it with Angry Badger. I'm following him on on X and
- 1:36:42share it with Nerd Wars. Let him know that you know, this conversation,
- 1:36:45this one we're having this conversation like this, These are crucial, you
- 1:36:50know. I mean, I love Nerd Rotic, I I you know,
- 1:36:54I tried to get him on the show. I love Melanie Mack. I
- 1:36:58love that she pisses people off. I think that she's great for that.
- 1:37:01I love the honesty you know, Shad and Sargon A Sargon, I know,
- 1:37:06like I mean, you know, Carl Benjamin, but I mean,
- 1:37:10I I hung out with him multiple times, you know, like uh,
- 1:37:15and I'm I'm I feel like blessed if I could say to have known them.
- 1:37:20But I do think that like this is a really good opportunity to form
- 1:37:24community. This is why I'm doing Bachelpod Gamer game. This is why I'm
- 1:37:27bringing it back because I think that these conversations are the crucial ones we have
- 1:37:33to and and I think that it's going to consist of making people aware of
- 1:37:38what is really going on behind like the cultural vandalism, which I think is
- 1:37:42also important to talk about why it matters that we talk about it and how
- 1:37:46to spot it. So like this is what I want to do. I
- 1:37:49want to help people see you know, when you when you get something and
- 1:37:54people are like, oh no, no, this isn't woke, they'll be
- 1:37:56able to discern like, well, let's see, you know, because sometimes
- 1:37:59it's not obvious. Sometimes it's not just like pink haired, you know,
- 1:38:02trans character or whatever. Maybe there's like something subtler that you should be able
- 1:38:06to identify. Maybe there's just like something in the spirit of it. Because
- 1:38:12ultimately, I think that because I believe in property rights, you should be
- 1:38:15able to choose what you spend your money on, what you spend your time
- 1:38:18on, what you spend your effort on, and that you shouldn't be doing
- 1:38:21that for people who hate you. So it's pretty simple. Yeah, so
- 1:38:27I got this. Speaking of witch, I'm gonna add another consulting firm to
- 1:38:32the list of consulting firms that probably should be, you know, added like
- 1:38:38sweet Baby inc. This was sent to me by chitchat Cat. Thank you
- 1:38:42chitchat Cat. I saw that you were in the Twitter space, but then
- 1:38:45you left. I don't know if it's because you were having issues. I
- 1:38:47know that this thing dropped and I had to restart it at one point,
- 1:38:51but I am still here. If you guys want to pop in, and
- 1:38:54I'll give in q sell an opportunity to say something. If you want to
- 1:38:57say something in qsel, let me know just a if you like, you
- 1:39:00know, a thirty second chance to say something to what we've been talking about.
- 1:39:05Just like, give yourself some time to think it over. But this
- 1:39:08is from a Twitter account called at Evil Shannon, and the name is Shannon
- 1:39:14Ingles wants to save New College and this is what it says. I'm forty
- 1:39:19two but in games for ten years now. I run a narrative design and
- 1:39:23writing studio called Martian Brothel. I went to Martian Brothel. It's not set
- 1:39:28up yet, so there's no website. This is very very new. But
- 1:39:31apparently they're going to be setting up a website on WIS because that's where it
- 1:39:35took me and I have a few games releasing soon. So she's working on
- 1:39:41some games, but the website's not set up yet, Marvel's Midnight Suns,
- 1:39:45God of War, Regnarock, so she did work on that God of War
- 1:39:47Ragnarok read only memories. Neurodriver redacted at ghost Story Games, redacted at Redacted,
- 1:39:55so I guess some things that got redacted. I also worked at Telltale
- 1:39:59Games, mainly on both seasons of their Batman franchise, but also a little
- 1:40:02on Walking Dead, Minecraft Story Mode, and Tales from the Borderlands. I
- 1:40:06started off as a journalist, editing my college paper and majoring in cognitive psych
- 1:40:11at New College of Florida. I then moved to Austin and ran an easine
- 1:40:15called Recharge before attending UT Austin on a Michener Fellowship for screenwriting. Yeah,
- 1:40:21there's a whole story, but if you're concerned about like any of those games
- 1:40:27are on your list, just bear that in mind. I understand, by
- 1:40:30the way, with God of War Ragnarok, people have asked me about that
- 1:40:34game because I had the privilege and honor of interviewing and talking with the developer
- 1:40:41of the original God of War, David Jaffe. And David Jaffe now runs
- 1:40:45a YouTube channel where he talks about the gaming industry and he gives people some
- 1:40:48inside baseball and stuff like that, and he has his views, and I
- 1:40:54remember when I brought him on, we actually got into a bit of a
- 1:40:56debate about you know, like sort of like woe this in video games.
- 1:41:00This was back when Gamergate started, so this is ten years ago, and
- 1:41:02I was talking about like, you know, the things that I could see,
- 1:41:05but I was I was having I guess at that time. I wasn't.
- 1:41:09I didn't want to just start saying cultural Marxism because I think it just
- 1:41:12turns people off, like they're like, oh, you know, it's like
- 1:41:14looking for a boogeyman. So you want to like try to help people see
- 1:41:16it the way you see it. And I wasn't. He wasn't really that
- 1:41:19receptive, and he kind of called us me a sexist and stuff, and
- 1:41:25I was like, okay, well whatever, I you know, I said
- 1:41:27my piece. And then later he left the company, and you know,
- 1:41:32the studio took over God of War and they remade it, and he had
- 1:41:38a little bit of He had some criticisms about the reboot because he felt tonally
- 1:41:43it didn't it wasn't the same. And I was like, well yeah,
- 1:41:45and obviously they wrote articles about it because it was they were saying, oh,
- 1:41:48well, the old God of War games promote toxic masculinity, and we
- 1:41:51want to get away from that. So we're making a softer Crados and you
- 1:41:56know, we're gonna change the tone and make it and make it more mature.
- 1:41:59This is a one of the buzzwords I uses. Are saying they're gonna
- 1:42:01make it mature, which basically means like they're just gonna, you know,
- 1:42:05make it the way they think it should be. It comes from the same
- 1:42:09kind of elitist we know better attitude, we know what mature means, right,
- 1:42:14and so that's that's what they did. And he didn't like it,
- 1:42:15and I try to tell him. I was like, well, they're gonna
- 1:42:18destroy your legacy, right like this this game, okay, is your baby,
- 1:42:24like like George Lucas, like he said, you know, Star Wars,
- 1:42:27those are my kids, and I gave I sold my kids to the
- 1:42:30White Slavers, is how George Lucas described it. And now that they've done
- 1:42:32what they've done, it's it is that because when you think about it,
- 1:42:36you know, if you're a creative I'm an artist. If you're a creative
- 1:42:40person, you create something that is like your child in a way. And
- 1:42:45if it becomes popular, like stan Lee creates Spider Man, that's his baby,
- 1:42:49right, if someone else takes over and they completely like bastardize it,
- 1:42:56or they they take the skin off of it and put the skin on something
- 1:42:59else like they would they like they did with Ghostbusters, then you're gonna you're
- 1:43:02gonna see that what you made is not what it was, even if it
- 1:43:06has the same name and it's the branding and it's got like all these other
- 1:43:10things. But but but it has no soul. And so when they made
- 1:43:14God of War Ragnarok, and they they actually made a scene in the game
- 1:43:18that explicitly shits on the old Credos and Javid Jeffy lost, he he kind
- 1:43:24of blew his top, you know, and ranted about it, and I
- 1:43:27was just saying, they're shrugging. Like I tried to reach out to him.
- 1:43:30I was like, well, you want to talk about it, but
- 1:43:30he never got back to me. But I was like, well, this
- 1:43:32of course this was gonna happen because what you made they didn't like. And
- 1:43:38the reason was because it was popular with people like us that wanted to just
- 1:43:42play fun games. Right. So this is why I say, you know,
- 1:43:45you got to protect your your the things that you love, especially if
- 1:43:49you created them, because you can't trust that other people are gonna treat it
- 1:43:54with the same respect, you know, Like look at Tolkien. His son
- 1:43:58Christopher Tolkien guarded that ip with until he died, and the moment he did,
- 1:44:02the rest of them just they just treated it like Amazon. Yeah yeah,
- 1:44:06yep yeah. And so like this is the thing, like you know,
- 1:44:11of course these things inevitably will happen because even if you pass it on
- 1:44:15to someone like before you die, like your son that loved it as much
- 1:44:18as you did. Because literally Tolkien read these stories to his children, eventually
- 1:44:24there will be a generation that comes along that doesn't have the same reverence for
- 1:44:28it, and they will treat it like garbage, and it's it is a
- 1:44:30shame, it's tragic. It's like a death, you know, most definitely,
- 1:44:33most definitely. And that's like, actually the thing that I was talking
- 1:44:36about this all the way twenty years ago when I was an art school saying,
- 1:44:40you know, trying to point out to people what was happening. Because
- 1:44:43these intellectual property branding houses, you know, like Warner Brothers isn't Warner Brothers
- 1:44:47anymore, you know, like how many times has been sold in the last
- 1:44:49ten years, you know, like and ultimately, so like you just have
- 1:44:53all these hedge funds that own the intellectual property brands, and like people who
- 1:44:58lack creative skill and ability and have no talent, they rely on the familiar
- 1:45:03of those logans, brands, slogans and like, you know, just the
- 1:45:08things that people already know because they can only work at that surface level.
- 1:45:13And so everything gets agenda platformed because that's the only thing they know and they
- 1:45:17have no actual experience to draw from, and they, you know, they
- 1:45:20usher in more of these glad handing yes men, you know, of all
- 1:45:25shapes and sizes and races and creeds and genders and whatever, because ultimately,
- 1:45:30what they're looking for are people that are you know, malleable and like easily
- 1:45:33replaceable and you know, just willing to just like follow orders, and so
- 1:45:39like this whole corporatus conceit that is overriding while you know, undermining. You
- 1:45:45know, it's it's getting us from both ends, and so it's using the
- 1:45:49weakest amongst the strong to try to convince the the you know, weak that
- 1:45:54they are strong and the strong that they're weak. And you know, and
- 1:45:58that's why what's happening right now, Like conversations like this are the most important
- 1:46:01thing that can take place in all of this, because you know the idea
- 1:46:04that Brock like like, uh, Creatos used to be like Brock Sampson to
- 1:46:10me, you know, like when you play that game, just like you
- 1:46:12know, and it was so visceral and it was so great and it was
- 1:46:15just like you you were not Creatos. You were getting to enjoy this story
- 1:46:19of Creatos, just like I used to tell people, you know, when
- 1:46:21I was in art school. Uh, we had this debate about what's better
- 1:46:25game Metal Gear or Halo, and I was like, well, they're completely
- 1:46:27different kind of situations, and truly the Halo have like you know, master
- 1:46:36chief kind of have his story in it, But initially when that game was
- 1:46:40made, it was about like you are master Chief, whereas you know,
- 1:46:44you have never been Snake. You've seen all the variations of the snake,
- 1:46:48you know, timeline and all the you know, but even Snake isn't snake.
- 1:46:53Snake is you know, like what snake finds his humanity through? You
- 1:46:57know, actually like just with these things that are you know, confronting us
- 1:47:02and in many ways, like you know, like when you talk about a
- 1:47:04game that was ahead of its time in terms of telling everybody what was going
- 1:47:08to happen, you know, I swear we're you know, the Patriots Solid
- 1:47:13too, right, yeah, oh yeah, most definitely, yeah, absolutely,
- 1:47:15yeah, yeah. I remember when I first experienced the end of Metal
- 1:47:19Gear Solid Too, I was like, what the hell is going on in
- 1:47:24this game? And then like later Max Darret, friend of the channel who
- 1:47:28used to come on here all regularly, he has a really successful channel where
- 1:47:30he does like these video game analyzes, and he put out a video about
- 1:47:33Metal Gear Solid and I was like, dude, this guy you know,
- 1:47:36so yeah, totally weird, totally weird, definite, totally totally, but
- 1:47:43but yeah, like these these ip branding houses like they're the Finance that's the
- 1:47:47Rockefellers, you know, and things like that that ultimately that's where this stuff
- 1:47:51comes from, and it goes all the way back to the days of the
- 1:47:54Bible. These are money changers, and like we were saying earlier, they
- 1:47:57can always print more money because the money is you know, the we're beholden
- 1:48:02to the people that print it, and they're never going to not have enough
- 1:48:05for themselves. They just want to make sure that we don't have enough to
- 1:48:09compete, you know. And so that's why they have inflation models and all
- 1:48:12this kind of stuff to create the debasement. And so you know, everybody
- 1:48:15keeps talking about like you know, oh, well we can get Star Wars
- 1:48:17back. It's like, no, you can't. I mean, I understand
- 1:48:21your appreciation for it, but you know, like I used to be married,
- 1:48:26and you know, like I've been divorced now for more years than we
- 1:48:29were actually together, and so like, you know, I have no ill
- 1:48:31will towards my ex wife or anything like that. I wouldn't want to go
- 1:48:34back to that life. I wouldn't try to pretend, you know, I
- 1:48:36wouldn't try to put on that old skin again, because you know, I'm
- 1:48:40so much better, you know, because like when you talk about like,
- 1:48:43you know, when I talk about the guilt ridden woke white women, my
- 1:48:46wife is kind of like the ex wife is, you know, at least
- 1:48:49when I was in art school, because she's the one who sent me to
- 1:48:51art school, I was happy to just kind of try to get in through
- 1:48:54the back door, and she was like, oh no, you got to
- 1:48:57go to like this elitist school and all this kind of stuff, And ultimately
- 1:49:00she was kind of using it as a way to siphon funds until I think
- 1:49:03she had a couple of different bank accounts or separate from me. And towards
- 1:49:05the end of my school, she she, you know, got involved with
- 1:49:09this guy who was a crane operator and had a you know, six digit
- 1:49:13kind of income. And I was like, it's like what you're saying about
- 1:49:15when talking to David Jeffie, It's like you didn't see the writing on the
- 1:49:18wall, Like I told her straight up, Like I was like, you
- 1:49:21know, she's like, I think you really like this guy. You guys
- 1:49:24have something in common. I was like, what you you know, and
- 1:49:26and and she's like she was just taken back by it, and I was
- 1:49:30like, I know what you're doing. You can sit here and try it,
- 1:49:31like unless I unless I walk in the house and catch you. You
- 1:49:35know, in the act of what you're doing. You just think that you
- 1:49:38can just get away with this. But when I graduate, this is over
- 1:49:41and done with, you know. And yeah, and that's openly what it
- 1:49:44is. Is like you know, like people have to you know, not
- 1:49:47just go through the motions and not just be there, you know, putting
- 1:49:50on false fronts. And that's the problem that we have. We allow all
- 1:49:55these giant level corporate entities to try to tell us what stories we should care
- 1:49:59about. If our stories get completely destroyed, then let's make more stories like
- 1:50:04like you and I, like we're we're having this great conversation right here in
- 1:50:08and of itself. This is more contextually based and you know, informative entertaining
- 1:50:12probably than half the ship that like people are sitting around watching on TV right
- 1:50:15now. Oh absolutely, And I think we reach more people too. Actually
- 1:50:19I mean maybe not this show, but but no, but generally, like
- 1:50:24I think more people watch like YouTube videos that are that have like insightful and
- 1:50:28interesting information or discussions way more than they turn on the boob Tube. And
- 1:50:32that's and that again, that's why there's a push to not just control our
- 1:50:36video games and not just like our television and our film and our music,
- 1:50:41but also the internet social media itself, the discussions going on there, because
- 1:50:45I mean, wherever there are people acting, you know, freely and talking
- 1:50:49to each other freely, there's there's danger because that means we could exchange knowledge
- 1:50:55and information with each other and you know, organize and become friends and you
- 1:50:59know whatnot. So yeah, they're gonna have to shut that down. So
- 1:51:03yeah, yeah, anyway, Uh, that was really good, thank you.
- 1:51:10I should wrap it up because it's almost been two hours. I don't
- 1:51:13want Yeah, absolutely, is there anything that you wanted to like really like
- 1:51:21maybe you didn't get to say that you were I mean, I mean,
- 1:51:25we we covered so much. I would say that if you are interested in
- 1:51:28the stuff that I've been talking about in researching, by all means, go
- 1:51:30check out Problematic White Guy on YouTube. Uh. And uh, you know,
- 1:51:34my insert token series is specifically about all this gamer Gate insanity. And
- 1:51:41you know, it's it's such a wide, huge thing that hasn't even been
- 1:51:45fully broken open yet. Like I've just I've cracked the egg and then I
- 1:51:49you know, handed a big chunk of it to nerd Wars because he's you
- 1:51:54know, he's got a much better following. I'm like, dude, this
- 1:51:56is this is more important than me. I don't you know, Like if
- 1:51:59I find a way to sustain myself through this work, awesome, But ultimately
- 1:52:03I'm concerned about freedom and liberty actually, like you know, getting truth to
- 1:52:08the masses in a way that like, you know, don't trust me,
- 1:52:11go and double check my work. That's why I put all the links right
- 1:52:14there in my descriptions, like do your own investigation on it, make your
- 1:52:16own videos about it. Get to know how these things interoperate, because ultimately
- 1:52:21that's how we take away their capacity to undermine us, and then you know,
- 1:52:26we can actually be a fellowship of people who are people again, you
- 1:52:30know. So that's that's like my main thing. That and like I said,
- 1:52:33grow a garden and you know, like get people around you to grow
- 1:52:38gardens and grow different things. We can all exchange and so we can have
- 1:52:41you know, like parallel economy where we don't have to rely on their their
- 1:52:44poison and all this. You know, lots of people are working on parallel
- 1:52:47economies too. There's a lot of stuff going on that's pretty exciting honestly.
- 1:52:53So yeah, thank you problematic white guy. Let's stay in touch. And
- 1:52:58there's definitely you know, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be around every Wednesday.
- 1:53:01I'm gonna be hosting a Badger pod gamer Gate, and I will also be
- 1:53:05doing regular videos on a Honey Badger Arcade, a lot of mobby game streams.
- 1:53:11But occasionally when I get a piece of news that's interesting, I'll put
- 1:53:13that up there as well. Most definitely, yeah, I like I say,
- 1:53:15anytime you want to welcome me back, this has been a great experience,
- 1:53:19one of the best experience I've had in years, And you know I
- 1:53:24will. I will be giving you my gamer tag. If you have a
- 1:53:27PlayStation, we can do some hell Divers together. I have a I don't
- 1:53:30have a PS five because I'm poor, but I do have hell Divers on
- 1:53:33my PC and I know that, Yeah, we can do cross play on
- 1:53:39that, so yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, yeah, well
- 1:53:41uh yeah, And like I say, if you need another mod at any
- 1:53:44point in time, like that's kind of how I'm just building myself up right
- 1:53:47now, is through the work you know, like I like cloud Chasers Chase
- 1:53:51Cloud. But you know this has been great and yeah, I will definitely
- 1:53:58be back next Wednesday and if it's all right, man, thanks yeah please.
- 1:54:02And also, guys, if you are watching, I'm gonna wrap it
- 1:54:05up here. I did get one more super Chow from Albert Nata or super
- 1:54:09chat sorry from Albert Nata retro. I'll give you a Badger chan Anyways,
- 1:54:12there you go. H He gives us five dollars Canadian and says something subtle
- 1:54:16like Deadpool getting pegged by his girlfriend on an international Women's Day, because that
- 1:54:20couldn't possibly be woke, right, Yeah, I mean it's a joke.
- 1:54:24I don't know. I mean, I guess it's like I thought it was
- 1:54:28forgettable. But I know what you're saying anyway, not that subtle. So
- 1:54:34thanks guys for coming on the show. Please subscribe to our channel, Badger
- 1:54:40live Streams. But also I really like it if you subscribe to mine,
- 1:54:44which is Honey Badger Arcade. It is where we do the gaming stuff and
- 1:54:46it's a little bit more focused on culture, just because Badger live Streams has
- 1:54:50plenty on its plate as it is, and I don't want to weigh it
- 1:54:54down. But I do think the gambergate's important because we the Honey Badgers,
- 1:54:58have been involved like since it's started. And also we were kind of like
- 1:55:01big central figures. We spoke to a lot of people in the business.
- 1:55:04We were very lucky to have that opportunity, and so like this, it's
- 1:55:09special to us because we're all very you know, creative people that are that
- 1:55:13are are very interested in culture. But anyway, with all that said,
- 1:55:18if you guys like this video, please hit like subscribe. If you're not
- 1:55:20already subscribe, hit the bell notifications, leave us a comment, let us
- 1:55:24know what you guys think about what we discussed on the show today. Links
- 1:55:28to the Problematic White Guys stuff is all in the description. I understand that
- 1:55:32the YouTube link doesn't work. I think it's because I, like you,
- 1:55:35When you put in a YouTube link, YouTube tries to auto complete it,
- 1:55:40and so I only completed it and it looked right, but when you go
- 1:55:43there, it doesn't work, which is stupid. So just just go to
- 1:55:45his Twitter and you'll see you can just search problematic yeah white guy. Right,
- 1:55:49yeah, so it'll come up that that era if you include insert tokens
- 1:55:55with dollar signs instead of Essa's insert tokens problematic white guy. I'll take you
- 1:55:59right to the work that I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah check it
- 1:56:02out. So yeah, please do that. And thanks guys so much for
- 1:56:06coming on the show. If you can get my channel to five hundred subs,
- 1:56:11I will start a discord server and that way we can have we can
- 1:56:15form community, because that what I is, what I think is important.
- 1:56:17So thanks so much for coming on today's show. Thank you so much for
- 1:56:20joining us. Thank you in QSL even though you didn't say anything, I
- 1:56:24was hoping that you would, but that's okay. And yeah, see you
