This is HBr News number four four seven rip Akira Toriyama girl hospital wized by
0:11
Dei, Gamergate two, Sweet Baby Boogoloo, where we discussed the news of
0:15
the week and give it the Badger treatment. Hello everyone, and welcome to
0:23
Honey Badger Radio. Hope you guys are doing well this week and that you're
0:26
laughing at all of this absurdity, which is a lot, and it's constantly
0:30
piling on, so that you are not consumed by it. I am your
0:35
host, Brian Martinez. I'm joined by, as always, my lovely co
0:38
hosts Hannah Wallen and doctor Randa mcam. We have a great show line up
0:43
for you guys today, so please be sure to continue the conversations both in
0:46
the chat as well as the comments section. On this week's HBr News show,
0:51
We're going to be talking about the latest regarding the case of the Armorer
0:58
from Rust and the unfortunate accident that occurred on the set of that film,
1:03
the passing of manga and anime titan Akira Toriyama, a girl is hospitalized after
1:10
a brutal assault, and there is some information about this that is not really
1:14
being shared that much that I thought is worth bringing up and more so,
1:19
stick around, it's going to be a good time and be sure to join
1:23
us afterwards for the Patron Only Show. So on this week's Patron Only Show,
1:27
in honor of everything that's been going on regarding Gamergay two and Sweet Baby,
1:33
inc et cetera, there is this article from Dual Shockers, which is
1:38
supposedly one of our trusted sources for games journalism, and it is about another
1:46
mod that is apparently bothering this person, Jack Coleman, and the title of
1:52
the article is Baltis Kate three mods that glow up faces are my pet peeve,
1:57
forcing of conventional beauty sets. Everything is tiring, so we'll find out
2:02
what he has to say about, you know, what people do with their
2:07
own property in there, in the privacy of their own home, and how
2:10
that is just like driving him crazy. I mean, it's I'm assuming it's
2:15
a it's an x y because the name is Jack Coleman. But who what
2:19
do I know, I'm just a bigot. I'm asking you any questions.
2:22
Are there any trusted sources in games journalism anymore? Is a thing? Is
2:27
there any I thought they went extinct like ten years ago? The only one
2:31
is gamigate. Yeah, well one would think, but apparently they're still fighting
2:39
for relevance, and I mean they are fighting hard. But we'll we'll get
2:45
to that in a little bit. And uh, you guys want to join
2:47
us for that patron only content, you have to become a Badger yourself by
2:52
going to feed the Badger dot com and setting up a monthly subscription. Five
2:55
bucks a month will get you into our discord where you'll be able to enjoy
3:00
hours and hours of additional content, which includes other patron shows and some videos
3:07
that you know, like Alison or prim Reaper or others are putting out before
3:12
they are ready, and so this will give you like early access and you
3:16
can even be sort of like you know, involved in helping Alison with feedback
3:21
on things. But there's also lots of groups that you know, we have
3:24
a writer's retreat, we have little clubs, we do have game nights,
3:29
we have movie nights, et cetera. So there's lots of going on in
3:31
the discord servers. It's very active with lots of fun activities. So to
3:37
do that, go to feed the Badger dot com and set up a monthly
3:39
subscription, or you can do it on our Patreon, which is also linked
3:43
in the description, and if you don't want to wake up one morning to
3:46
find it, we've been removed from the mainstream internet space like YouTube, then
3:52
find our content at badgerfeed dot com. That's badgerfeed dot com, or you
3:55
can go to Honeybadger Radio dot com because that is where our content lives,
4:01
all right, So, without further ado, we are going to get into
4:04
today's stories. So first we have a little follow up that I you know,
4:12
we just have to get that out of the way. So Alec Baldwin,
4:15
in case you guys don't remember, accidentally killed someone on the set of
4:19
a film called Rust, or at least I don't think it's ever going to
4:24
come out now. But so the the Hannah Katirez read is the name of
4:29
the woman who was the armorer. It is the person that's supposed to prepare
4:31
the props or you know, for filming and for and for the for their
4:38
job. She was the armor on the set of Rust when Alec Baldwin shot
4:42
a gun with live ammunition that killed cinematographer he Hawl Helena Helena Hutchins. The
4:48
jury deliberation lasted three hours at a New Mexico Courthouse. Katierrez Reid faces eighteen
4:55
months in prison and up to five thousand dollars in fines. That's pretty generous,
5:00
according to Special Prosecutor Carrie Morrissey in her closing comments, quote, Anna
5:06
Katirez knew that Baldwin was loose. She knew it. She didn't do anything
5:11
about it, even though it was her job. It was her job.
5:14
It is her job to say to an a list actor if in fact that's
5:17
what you want to call him, Hey, you can't behave that way with
5:20
those firearms. That is her job. That is what they pay her for.
5:26
That is the job that she applied for. That is the job that
5:29
she accept Did she mention that that's her job? Sorry, this it's a
5:32
weird quote because she's being a little she's repeating herself quite a bit. Katiras
5:35
Reads lawyers said in response that quote, whoever put that live round on set
5:41
and then mister Baldwin in the end going off script and doing what he did.
5:46
Those are outside events outside of missus Katia's reads control, that she didn't
5:49
know was going to happen. Now, far be it from me to insinuate
5:56
that Alec Baldwin got away with murder. To repeat, I would never even
6:01
insinuate that Alec Baldwin got away with murder. I wouldn't even insinuate that he
6:08
got away with manslaughter. The courts have spoken, and the courts never lie.
6:13
The only thing that possibly can have happened here is a carriage of justice,
6:20
the wholly uncomplicated live birth of a perfectly healthy, bouncing baby off justice.
6:27
Nobody was thrown anywhere, especially not under a bus that there just happened
6:31
to be a bus, and somebody other than Alec Baldwin just happened to find
6:35
themselves under that bus. Now that we've established that this incident was entirely the
6:42
fault of Hannah Katiera's read, now that we've established that the buck stops with
6:46
her, is there any chance we could count how many bucks are at play
6:50
here and how many directions from which those books might be traveling? Was Hannah
6:57
Katia's read a diversity higher? Was she there because of her vagina or whatever
7:04
it is she identifies as having? Did this matter come up in court any
7:11
point? I'll go ahead and make an educated guess that the answer we're being
7:15
given to all of these questions is no, of course not that never happens.
7:19
I mean, it does happen, and it's a good thing when it
7:23
can't happen here, it would never happen here. Well in Hollywood, bastion
7:28
of meritocracy. That it is so that there's no way that the phenomenon we
7:34
call DEI was the one that got away with manslaughter on this occasion. I
7:40
suppose it's a compound impossibility that Alec Baldwin and communism both got away with killing
7:47
someone that day. And yeah, maybe not. Maybe DEI isn't an official
7:55
doctrine in the corridors of Hollywood, at least not this particular horridor. They're
8:01
not being incentivized to hire incompetent women into positions they have no business occupying because
8:07
they do it already voluntarily. They're ahead of the curve like that. They've
8:11
been marginalizing and demonizing men since before it was cool, never mind mandated.
8:20
They haven't had to be not so gently persuaded into it like Boeing has.
8:26
And I'm sure it's a coincidence that so many planes are falling to pieces mid
8:30
flight at the moment. And I'm sure if some old white guy blows the
8:33
whistle on what's happening. It's another amazing coincidence if he becomes inconsolably suicidal as
8:39
the result of his forthright and highly inconvenient honesty regarding the situation. To repeat
8:46
and reiterate, no one ever gets away with murder, especially not communist revolutionaries
8:52
who are determined to turn society inside out by all measures and at all costs.
8:58
I would never insinuate such a hair brain conspiracy theory. And even though
9:03
I can assure you I'm not suicidal, I'm sure if I die anytime soon,
9:09
it will be from the leading cause of death among all demographics and age
9:13
groups right now. A coincidence. Yeah, thank you again for not making
9:18
us famous. Oh, merciful gods of RNG, your benevolence is keeping us
9:22
alive. You know, the Tate Brothers got arrested again this week, this
9:26
time by the UK government in its power to directly tell an Eastern European government
9:31
what to do with those who are indeed dangerously famous. Yeah, yeah,
9:37
I don't think I'll be going to Eastern Europe for this year's I cemi folks.
9:41
It feels ever so suspiciously like a tarp. Yeah, I know,
9:43
it's not in remain. It's in Hungary, and Hungary is supposed to be
9:48
one of those last holdouts of a non communist stronghold, but so was Poland
9:56
until quite recently. Now they're already gulagging the farmers. It's remarkable how quickly
10:01
the tables can turn like that. Sorry, I got off on multiple tangents
10:05
there, but hey, it's it's it's the news show. Might as well
10:07
he had some ground to cover. Yeah, all the doomed scrolling I been
10:13
doing lately. Day, did you hear about the cannibal holocaust going on?
10:18
To aborder me? You? I love this. I think I think the
10:22
rapture already happened and we're just stuck here. I think a Curatorriyama was the
10:26
last one to leave. We the raptor happened and we were not informed.
10:31
Uh anyway, you know, I just want to say one thing that I
10:35
think is ironically funny about this russ thing. Alec Baldwin was famous in recent
10:45
history or his ability to do an impression of Donald Trump. Donald Trump was
10:54
lambasted by the media when he jokingly boasted that he could shoot someone in Times
11:01
Square in the middle of the day and he probably would get away with it,
11:07
and then Alec Baldwin, who does a Trump impression, shoots and kills
11:13
someone on the set. I don't know, is that like, is that
11:18
karma? It's just there is something about that that I think is interesting.
11:24
It's an interesting set of circumstances. And to my knowledge, Trump has yet
11:30
to shoot anyone, but his impersonator did. So there you go, Hannah.
11:35
Do you want to say anything about this? Yeah, I it's it's
11:37
good to see a woman held accountable for something that she did. She seems
11:45
to also be being held accountable by mister Morrissey, or by miss Morrissey in
11:54
you know, for something that she didn't do, which was controlling mister Baldwin.
12:03
I think I hope that holding this woman accountable doesn't prevent holding mister Baldwin
12:09
accountable. Because nobody should put their hands on a firearm without understanding what they
12:18
are, what they're capable of, and how you should respect them. Even
12:24
if you are using blanks, you should be very careful. Even if you
12:31
are using just a noise maker and smoke, you should still be very careful
12:39
because they're not toys and they shouldn't be played with. And it seems like
12:43
that's what he was doing, was playing with it like a toy. And
12:48
it seems like it's always gun grabbers that want to do that. Oh,
12:52
this isn't a big deal. I can handle it. I'm going to play
12:54
with this like it's a toy. Kaboom, Gee. I accidentally hurt someone
12:58
or kill someone, It's it's the gun's fault. It's the fault of the
13:03
person who put it in my hands. It's the fault of the person who
13:07
failed to control me, not it's my fault for pointing this at a person
13:15
and pulling the trigger. He should he should still be charged. She should
13:18
still be facing a jury too. She it was It was right that she
13:24
was charged and was facing a jury because she handled things incorrectly, But that
13:31
that isn't a zero sum game. Just like if I leave my keys in
13:41
my running car and somebody steals it and they run over somebody with it,
13:46
we are both guilty under Ohio law. I believe it's state law and not
13:52
local law, but I know it is true locally either way that both of
13:58
us would be charged and both of us would be economically liable for any losses
14:05
by the family, even though all I did was try to warm up my
14:11
car, and I shouldn't have had to anticipate having it stolen from me.
14:16
If I do facilitate that by making it easier, I'm still liable and I'm
14:24
still considered guilty. You are responsible for the effects of your actions, and
14:33
it is, like I said, it is good to see accountability here.
14:37
At least you know she didn't get out of it because she's female. I
14:43
wish that would happen more often. Yeah, I don't know if this sentence,
14:50
just to reiterate, eighteen months in prison and five thousand dollars in fines,
14:54
I don't know if that is like standard or close to the stand for
15:00
this crime for involuntary manslaughter. It might be because of the involuntary nature and
15:07
slaughter, right, I mean, it's it might be, but eighteen months
15:11
it's like, what is that like a year and a half, So it's
15:13
not too bad at all. She might get out earlier for good behavior.
15:20
I have seen other cases locally that were similar in how short the sentence was.
15:28
Where in Ohio, if you are the person that that administers the dose
15:37
in somebody's overdose, that's considered manslaughter and I'm I'm not sure if it's involuntary
15:45
or not. But some of those sentences are that short as well. Somebody
15:48
in the chat is saying that eighteen months of the max you can get in
15:50
New Mexico. Ah, so that we gave her a max month. Yeah,
15:56
yeah, all right, Well, I guess wanted to give you guys
16:02
the follow up. I don't know if what's gonna happen with Alec Baldwin,
16:07
if there's charges against him or whatever. I remember us reporting on it before.
16:11
As far as as far as Hannagata's read goes, I don't think she's
16:18
DEI higher, but I do think she's a nepotism higher, so pretty darn
16:22
similar. I think she she got the job because she knew somebody and didn't
16:26
really have a lot of experience with that position. I think that's well,
16:32
that's sort of the same reasons why DEI stuff, you know, goes to
16:37
shit. So there's that, all right. With that said, we'll get
16:42
into the next story because we have a couple that are going to be pretty
16:45
big. So let us know what you guys think about this in the comments.
16:48
But I did get a super child from Richard Pierre. He gives us
16:52
five bucks and says, so after the foot licking in Oklahoma, another clip
16:56
surface showing armpit licking, Well, that was something I didn't need to know,
17:02
was it in the school? In the school? Why aren't there Why
17:08
aren't there FBI agents like kicking the door to out over there? What the
17:12
heck is going on? Anyway? So let us know what you guys think
17:18
about this one in the comments. We're gonna move on to the next story.
17:22
So let us know what you guys think, and I look forward to
17:26
seeing your thoughts on this. Okay, So this is kind of a sad
17:30
one, but we got to share it. So the anime industry mourns the
17:37
sudden and tragic loss of Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, who
17:42
passed away at the age of sixty eight due to acute subdural hematoma. A.
17:48
Chiro Oda and Masashi Kishimoto, which are other mangaco or creators of One
17:56
Piece and Naruto, respectively, wrote Geez expressing deep respect for Toriyama's influence on
18:03
the anime world. Toriyama was involved in multiple projects, including the ongoing Dragon
18:07
Ball super manga. Shonan Jump collected various tributes from creators, highlighting the significant
18:14
impact of Toriyama's work on Shonan manga and the international spread of anime during the
18:19
nineteen nineties. The future of dragon Ball may involve collaboration with Toriyama's son,
18:25
Saske Toriyama, and Dragon Ball super artist Toyotaro. The anime community mourns a
18:30
loss of a legendary creator. And you know, I know that this was
18:37
like last week. I think late last week that we learned about this news.
18:41
There was a story going around that I wish was true that said that
18:48
for twenty four hours there was a ceasefire amongst cartel gangs over the death of
18:52
Toriama. And I was like, oh, man, because you know,
18:56
we Latinos love dragon Ball. Yeah, it's funny because uh, dragon Ball
19:04
Z. It's not the only thing he did, but it's obviously the most
19:08
popular. Was it was basically loved globally, universally by everyone. It literally
19:15
like spits in the face of all of this, like DEI representation garbage,
19:21
because it was just loved universally, like in a to a degree that I
19:26
thought was almost unreasonable. But but like my brother loved dragon Ball, and
19:32
I like dragon Ball, but I didn't I never got into it like they
19:36
did so, and it had an influence on all manga in Japan, like,
19:41
not just there, probably all over the world ever since. Like it
19:45
was, it's not just a show, right, it was a phenomenon.
19:51
It was a you know, a milestone in creative artistic history. There's nothing
19:56
like it. So, yeah, man in the chat for Oriama, So
20:02
I don't know if you guys have any thoughts on this guy, but now
20:07
people are mentioning in the chat, you know what could be the cause.
20:11
And it can be from something like that, from falling and hitting your head,
20:15
or it can be from causes of medicine that you've been put on for
20:21
high blood pressure, or from a stroke, or from car accident inflicted injury.
20:27
It's rare that it's just spontaneous with an unknown cause. But I didn't
20:33
see any reporting on what was the cause, so I would advise against speculation.
20:38
And the only thing I'll say about the potential causes for it is that
20:44
it's a good idea to be aware if you have family members that are,
20:49
you know, maybe over over the age of fifty, over a little overweight,
20:56
or have high blood pressure and stuff like that of the signs of stroke.
21:00
And and obviously if you have someone close to you that's been in a
21:04
car accident and had something like whiplash or hit their head and you know,
21:10
or been assaulted and had their head hit, just be aware of the signs
21:18
of brain injury or or traumatic brain injury because that can cause this this type
21:26
of side effect. So, but it's it's not something that we know,
21:34
or at least I missed. If there was an article that explained how it
21:37
happened, I missed that. Yeah, I don't think there's anything goes into
21:44
specifics. It's a thing that happened that. Yeah, it's very tragic,
21:52
very missed that. Yeah, he will be missed for sure. And yeah,
21:56
it just reminds you, you know, like you never know when your
22:00
time has come, like we are not promised tomorrow. And it kind of
22:04
reminds me of in a way, another men's rights activist that used to make
22:11
content on YouTube named Prince of Queens, who I met at ICMI twenty nineteen,
22:17
and shortly after he spent the whole weekend there with us in like the
22:22
summer heat of August in Chicago, and shortly after he returned, he fell
22:26
in the shower and died. You know, it was just like out of
22:30
nowhere. So yeah, it is. I don't know, it is a
22:37
shame, but I'm glad that I was alive for and I'm around for this
22:42
kind of stuff. You know, the work that Prince of Queens did,
22:48
I think you can feel still find his videos on YouTube, I'm not really
22:51
sure, and they were good. And also you know Toriyama, which is
22:56
really what we're talking about here. I mean again, uh, you know,
23:00
it's like other manga create artists or creators like the guy who made One
23:07
Piece and the guy who made Naruto, which are huge right now. You
23:12
know, they said that Toriyama's work was like a great tree that branches out
23:18
into like all you know, all four corners of the globe, and it
23:22
has influence. And everyone loved this stuff universally. You go, you go
23:26
to you know, like the hood, and people like they got like you
23:32
know, uh, dragon ball z stuff like tattoos. You know, everyone
23:36
loved it. It didn't it united people, is what I'm saying. And
23:41
and to to add, well, we'll get to it later, but like
23:45
the wokies hate this stuff. They hated it. Like when when he died,
23:48
there were people like making comments about how racist his content was. I
23:53
mean, because like, you know, no, there's no there's no such
23:56
thing as like honoring somebody or understanding that they come from like a you know,
24:02
a completely different culture. No, no, no, we have to
24:04
measure them by our subjective standards. But anyway, I'm not trying to make
24:08
this about rage. I'm just saying that, you know, his work was
24:12
loved, He was loved. It's it's a sad thing to see him go,
24:17
but what he's left behind will probably stick around for a long time,
24:21
and thoughts go out to his family and his loved ones, and yeah,
24:26
just thanks for thanks for the memories, you know. On that note,
24:30
I thought i'd look up a few quotes from you. What I looked up
24:36
a few quotes from the man himself, a few tidbits of poetic wisdom to
24:40
to sort of play us out. I mind doing this every time we're in
24:42
obituary mode. Seem sorry, sort of a poignant possibly lifted. Yeah,
24:48
that's nice. There's a few that I found. Quote nightmares never lost.
24:52
One day you'll wake up and there and they're gone, simple but true,
24:57
based in white build to a real degree. Quote too much fantasy loses reality
25:03
too much. Hope may seem somehow empty. End quote, based and billed
25:11
to a reasonable degree, a balanced diet. It's what you really need in
25:15
life, being in the yang. Indeed quote move well, study well,
25:21
play well, eat well, rest well. That is the Turtle Master way.
25:26
End quote. It is, it's generally the way. Quote. You
25:34
can't just look at someone and determine whether or not they're a good person.
25:38
End quote. So true. I see far too many people doing that and
25:42
calling it a physiognomy check. And it's almost always just phrenology. It's random,
25:48
superstitious judgment, like a horoscope that you pulled out your house or something.
25:53
Listen to Toriyamasan. He knows all about faces. Quote. I am
26:00
not at all particular about things like hairstyles and colors, especially with women changing
26:06
their hairstyle or color. Is a bit too commonplace, don't you think.
26:10
End quote. Indeed, the loll it's just asking for a physiognomy check or
26:15
a fashion check, if you will. That's probably the old point. Quote.
26:21
I believe that comics are entirely for entertainment. End quote. That's all
26:26
we need to know regarding where he might stand on comics gay or the other
26:30
case, I think I would certainly hope. So quote. I'm personally not
26:37
terribly interested in designing wholesome characters, so I don't have many variations to offer.
26:42
End quote. Good lad. Wholesome is cringe and gay. In any
26:49
case, it can't be forced. It only happens incidentally. And you know
26:53
he creates something that is weirdly wholesome because he wasn't trying. That's the point.
27:00
Quote. I'm not the kind of person who enjoyed, who enjoys big
27:03
crowds very much. End quote based quote. When I look at it,
27:10
I don't really like people, and socializing is really awful. Outside of my
27:15
family, friends and those connecteds of my job, I don't think I actively
27:18
want to meet anyone. I've always lived in the country, after all.
27:21
End quote, so based soupers, I love this guy. Quote. Come
27:27
to think of it, even though I've received tons of fan letters and presents
27:30
from everyone, I've never written anyone back. How rude of me. End
27:34
quote. Unbelievably based beyond belief, based beyond my comprehensions. All right,
27:42
one more for the road quote. I'd want to be born once more as
27:48
myself, but more talented end quote. M there you go. Maybe he's
27:53
being reincarnated as we speak in another wee Japanese badass. We are out in
28:00
the country, this time with an IQ of over nine thousand. Oh all
28:11
right, that's good. Any other final thoughts before we move on? Okay,
28:17
Well, rest in peace, Toriyama, and you know, yeah,
28:22
just your legacy is pretty much secured. I won't let them like dump dunk
28:30
on you, all right, So I got a super chow from Rip.
28:34
Toriyama gives us five bucks and says on trivia fact, the original design of
28:40
the Super Saiyan did not have golden blonde hair nor blue eyes. Toriama was
28:44
just working under a tight schedule and decided to not color in the hair or
28:48
the eyes to speed up the work. Okay, because mangas are done in
28:51
black and white, so they don't usually have color. So what he's saying
28:55
is he just drew the outline of the hair, did not color it in,
29:00
and put it out like that in the eyes as well, because normally
29:03
you would give them black eyes and black hair. So I guess that was
29:07
a happy accident, to be honest, Thank you for that bit of trivia.
29:12
Rip, Toriama. All right, so let me know what you guys
29:15
think about this one of the comments and we will move on to the next
29:21
story. I look forward to your thoughts. So, all right, next
29:23
story. This is kind of a bigger one, a bit more meat on
29:29
this bone. So you might have seen this like viral video that was all
29:33
over Twitter of this violent fight and there's but I'm going to go into that
29:41
now. So, a violent fight near Hazelwood East High School in Saint Louis
29:45
has left a student in critical condition with severe head injury. The incident,
29:49
captured in disturbing video, has prompted community leaders, including James Clark from the
29:55
Urban League of Metropolitan Saint Louis, to call for an end to violence.
29:59
The Hazelwood School District express condolences and emphasized the need for collective efforts to address
30:03
bullying and fighting in the community. Saint Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell described
30:08
the video as sickening and a student wishing to remain anonymous, emphasized the importance
30:14
of ending violence and seeking justice. The Hazelwood School District School District Board of
30:18
Education has been selected to receive the twenty twenty two North County Incorporated Diversity,
30:23
Equity and Inclusion Leadership Awards. So I want to Okay, so there was
30:30
this video you probably saw it of these two children, these two girls,
30:34
they were fighting on the street and there was like a brawl going on around.
30:37
And now different people have shared this video in like different like lengths,
30:42
like some people cut off the beginning, but it was from what we know,
30:48
it was two girls that intentionally started to fight. So it wasn't like
30:52
somebody sucker punched somebody else or there was a knockout game or anything like that.
30:56
And there was a lot of like buzz because it was a black girl
31:00
and a white girl, and so this became a kind of racialized issue based
31:06
on that. But the way the fight goes is the black girl pins the
31:10
white girl of the ground. She gets the upper hand and she starts bashing
31:12
her head on the concrete and the girl is convulsing and spasming and laying on
31:18
the ground. Okay, if you guys have seen the video, you know
31:22
it's violent. I don't want to show it on here because I don't know
31:25
what will happen if I do, so I'm not going to I'm just gonna
31:26
have to describe it. From what I understand, the white girl who had
31:30
her head bashed in, she ended up in a hospital. She's still in
31:33
the hospital. There were people saying on the net that she died, but
31:38
but as far as we know, that's not the case. She is in
31:41
critical condition according to the last report. Unless there's something new that recently came
31:48
out. Okay, now, all of that being what it is, it
31:51
became a discussion about, you know, racial violence and this other stuff.
31:56
And sure there is some there is we can talk about that because it's it
32:00
was only made available or like made known by social media, not the news,
32:06
like the mainstream sort of like you know, what do you call it,
32:09
cable news, like like CNN's, the MSNBCS. They weren't covering it.
32:14
It was only local news and people sharing on social media, which of
32:16
course is convenient because you know, unless white people want to burn down a
32:22
target, that's not like going to be a problem. However, that's that's
32:27
not really what I'm interested in. What I'm interested in is this. I'm
32:30
gonna share this with you guys. So this school district received an award.
32:37
So and this is the the link here, and it says the Hazelwood School
32:42
District Board of Education has been selected to receive the twenty twenty two North County
32:46
Incorporated NCI Diversity Equity and Inclusion Leadership Award. The Board has spent many hours
32:54
working to provide strong governance and support to the district and community in the areas
33:00
diversity, equity and inclusion. Doctor Nettie Collins Heart, Superintendent of HSD,
33:05
seid this award recognizes the Board's commitment to ensuring that our district respects and appreciates
33:10
the diversity in our employees and students and provides an inclusive environment. This is
33:15
the board's second award for its work and diversity, equity and inclusion. In
33:19
November of twenty twenty one, the board received a twenty twenty one Outstanding Government
33:22
Achievement Award from the East West Gateway Council of Governments. So is this DEI
33:30
award And this whole thing is set up around the not only the staffing,
33:38
not only the hiring, but also the treatment of the students. So if
33:44
there was a girl, this black girl that smashed this white girl's head in,
33:49
if she had a history, because I don't think this came out of
33:52
the blue right of of this kind of behavior. The DEI policies would make
34:00
it difficult to correct the behavior because they have to essentially like she is of
34:07
a protected class. And I'll say, like I did some substitute teaching,
34:12
and in the schools that I've subbed for, you're not supposed to put like
34:16
we're not allowed to touch the students at all, but the students are generally
34:22
like well behaved. You know around here, this doesn't really happen, but
34:27
I think here you have a well, let me see if I can explain
34:31
this. So since there was a racial equality policy that they passed in twenty
34:37
twenty one, it's stemmed from the statement of solidarity. The board has engaged
34:39
in vigorous exchanges of ideas and taking concrete action steps to progress diversity, equity
34:45
and inclusion efforts in the district. Throughout the process, the board has been
34:47
insistent that HSC stakeholders be an integral part of the process. So this this
34:54
is like think okay, think of it like this. A lot of blue
34:58
cities across the country after the Floyd Riots, there were policies that were changed
35:06
at the state and city levels to essentially ensure that there would not be any
35:10
more police violence or police brutality, Okay, and to do that, they
35:15
went soft on crime. This is the same policy, it's just applied at
35:20
the school level. So this incident that happened probably couldn't have been avoided completely
35:27
if it weren't for this DEI ESG stuff in the schools, because it's affecting
35:32
how the teachers and how this faculty and staff can essentially discipline the students,
35:39
which is to say, if they're black, they can't because that would be
35:44
targeted, you know, targeted based on race. Right, even if the
35:46
odds are higher that black students are going to be more violent, which statistically
35:52
avoided, it was arguably caused by these Yes, I'll get into that when
35:57
you finish the run. Yeah. Well, anyway, I'll let me let
36:00
me just wrap this up because I'm pointing out why this is unique because I'm
36:06
you know, people are just looking at the violent act, but I'm saying,
36:07
like this is a policy issue. Okay. So the Hazelwood School District
36:14
or the board, recently improved the district's first diversity, equity and Inclusion Action
36:17
plan. The Hazelwood School District Board of Education is built for this journey,
36:21
said Diane Livingston, President of the Board. We are firm in our commitment
36:24
to create a nurturing, diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment for all
36:30
HSD students and employees. HSD Board of Education will accept the award at the
36:34
forty fifth Annual NCI Leadership Breakfast on May sixth, twenty two. The last
36:37
thing I'll say to that, to add it is that this DEI stuff,
36:42
this like you know, approach is it's in schools across the country. This
36:49
school won an award for it, so it's like extra extra hands off,
36:53
get it. So anyway, that's the rite up. I don't know if
36:55
you guys follow what I'm saying, but yeah, yeah, but always till
36:59
after Mike has his say, Like you said, I should think we've all
37:04
seen the footage by now, maybe even with the sound on. Oddly,
37:07
the sound is kind of the most disturbing thing about it, that ringing crack
37:14
of skull against concrete. It was it was a pose, a poor choice
37:20
of words when they said the Board has engaged in vigorous exchanges of ideas and
37:25
taken concrete action steps to progress diversity, equity and inclusion. Yeah, that's
37:31
kind of exactly what we saw and heard in that video DEI taking action right
37:37
on the concrete steps. It's like that one scene in American history X,
37:42
except it's race swapped, as so many things are these days. Also generous
37:50
also, it's what is it real? It actually happened. It is not
37:53
fictional. It's very real. A very similar thing happened to George back in
38:00
the day, if he wasn't armed, would have been the exact same thing,
38:06
and we never would have heard about it because because the white guy would
38:08
have died. I mean, although we only have have Zimmerman's word for it.
38:15
So yeah, I guess I'm speculating. But by now we've I'm sure
38:22
we've all seen many many videos online of men fighting in the street of all
38:27
ages, and I've never seen them do that. Even when men are mortal
38:35
enemies, they still have enough of a conscience, enough of a sense of
38:38
fair play not to use a concrete slab as a weapon. If your opponent
38:45
so much as accidentally hits their head on the ground hard enough to make a
38:49
noise like that, the fight is over. This chick was I don't even
38:55
know what was going on in her mind. How do you not know that
39:00
you're killing someone at that point? I mean, maybe she was actually trying
39:05
to kill her one way or another. She clearly just didn't give a shit.
39:12
It's almost as though she's been taught that other people don't matter, just
39:16
as though she somehow got it into her head that she can do no wrong
39:20
because she's female, and she can do no wrong to white people because they're
39:24
white. Might that be exactly what she's being taught in that school? So
39:30
sometimes it's called DEI, sometimes it's called CRT. Sometimes it's called something something
39:37
studies. It doesn't matter what you're renaming it to. In the latest attempt
39:43
to worm out of what you're doing. How many times can the people you've
39:46
designated as lower on the hierarchy get brutally beaten by the people you've designated as
39:53
higher before it occurs to you that this caste system of yours is in some
39:59
way response for any of this at the moment is looking like never, because
40:05
every time it happens, you push it even further. These people never ask
40:08
themselves when has it gone too far? They never even think to ask it
40:14
because they don't have an answer other than never. No matter what happens.
40:19
It's never too far. When you've reached that point, you have chosen the
40:23
form of your destructor. You cannot and will not realize the error of your
40:29
ways until the moment it is killing you. And even then you'll just blame
40:32
it on white men. With your last fucking breath, you will still cling
40:37
to the lie that has killed you. We just we need to walk away
40:44
in any capacity in which we're still allowed to walk away, and that very
40:49
much includes never letting your children anywhere near a school, especially not a school
40:53
that does this, that deliberately divides its students into this hierarchy and turns them
40:59
against each other, and forever claims they're doing the benevolent opposite of the evil
41:06
they're clearly committing. Because there is no end in sight to that madness.
41:10
It will persist beyond the excesses that you thought were even possible. Let's break
41:19
out the C. S. Lewis quote. I'm sure you'll know the one
41:22
things that it too describes, a nightmare of which the man himself could not
41:28
have predicted its aptitude. Quote of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for
41:35
the good of its victims. May be the most oppressive. It would be
41:38
better to live under rubber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The rubber baron's
41:44
cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated. But
41:49
those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for
41:54
they do so with the approval of their own conscience. Quote discuss. I
42:04
will point out a few things in regard to violence. There there are there
42:10
are guys that will be this violent. They're usually messed up in some way
42:15
or another. That's not normal, but uh, it is sadly normal for
42:22
for girls and even women in fights to do shit like that. Guys grow
42:31
up testing each other's boundaries and learning that you don't do you don't cross certain
42:37
boundaries in a fight unless you want to give the other guy permission to cross
42:43
those boundaries too. And and like I said, it's it's the guys that
42:47
are truly messed up that that cross them. And they're usually the ones that
42:52
will mug you in the street and uh, or or fight back when there's
42:59
no way of winning against a mugger in the street, or get violent when
43:06
they're drunk and then there's another behavior that happens with fighting. There's a level
43:12
of rage you can hit or a level of fear you can hit that causes
43:16
you to completely lose your mind in terms of your actions, where you don't
43:23
think about what you're doing, you don't have an attachment to what you're doing.
43:30
And it's the most dangerous state of mind because you lose the ability to
43:37
moderate your actions in that circumstance. And you're very lucky if you if you've
43:46
experienced that, you're very lucky. If you've been stopped, or if you've
43:52
come to your senses before you kill someone, then you only have to remember
44:00
the look on their face and the way they screamed before you stopped. But
44:09
unfortunately, with this particular situation, that type of rage and that type of
44:16
fear are being indoctrinated into people on the basis of race, and on the
44:23
basis of sex, on the basis of religion, every aspect of DEI.
44:31
They're not just telling people that this or that demographic doesn't matter. They're telling
44:38
people of certain demographics to hate them, to be afraid of them, to
44:45
resent them, to want them dead, to feel not just hard done by,
44:53
but damaged wounded constantly by them, wounded by their existence, wounded by
45:01
their presence. And they're telling those demographics to view the perpetrator demographics, the
45:13
oppressor demographics, whatever the label is, as tainted by virtue of existing in
45:19
their demographic. So you're not just looking at when you look at this,
45:27
you're not just looking at a fight. You're looking at a political history.
45:30
You're looking at one girl who may have been taught to view the other girl
45:37
not just as someone who doesn't matter, someone she can take her frustrations out
45:43
on, but someone who actively deserves punishment for who she is and what she
45:51
is, and someone who has, by virtue of existing, caused her harm
46:00
that she should be retaliating against that kind of rage. Inflicting that kind of
46:08
rage on someone falsely artificially. It's every bit as cruel as what they're doing
46:16
to the kids in sex education, who they're convincing, oh, yeah,
46:22
you you have gender dysphoria, when they don't. This is demographic dysphoria.
46:30
In a way. They're putting upon children and adolescents an experience that nobody should
46:39
have to go through, and they are putting upon their compatriots in class who
46:45
could have been their friends who they could have good memories with, who they
46:51
could have great reunions with, five, ten, fifteen, twenty years later
46:55
and catch up. What are you doing now? Oh I'm doing this?
46:58
What are you doing now? Oh? I'm doing this. Isn't that great?
47:00
Right? No, they are killing their childhood, killing their good spirit,
47:09
their healthy spirit, their chance to be happy together as as people who
47:15
enjoyed the same experiences growing up. They're destroying their childhood and they're robbing them
47:24
of experiences that I had relationships that everybody has a right to choose how they
47:31
form. It is one of the cruelest things about modern politics. What is
47:39
being done to our children in the name of politics. I wouldn't wish that
47:45
kind of memories on anybody, and I wouldn't wish being on the other end
47:47
of it on anybody. And now two kids have permanently learned to hate and
47:55
fear each other. And I will bet that if the adults in their lives
48:01
hadn't interfered, they would never have developed those reasons. That breaks my heart.
48:14
Yep, that's true. Well, And I think two lives have been
48:21
ruined by this because I'm guessing that the girl who did the assault is going
48:27
to be you know, tried for something will follow up when we learn more.
48:31
And the girl who's in the hospital, if she survives, she's probably
48:35
never going to be the same. If she survives, well right now we
48:38
don't know, but we'll see. It didn't look good one of them.
48:43
Neither one of them is never going to be the same. If even if
48:45
a girl who engaged in the violence isn't held as accountable as she should be
48:51
held, she will still she'll hit she'll hit our age, and she'll have
48:57
those memories, and she'll have a filter of adulthood to look back through at
49:05
those memories. Ya, and she will never forget what she did. She'll
49:12
just have to be ashamed of it for the rest of her life. Well
49:15
hopefully she might not be, which is even more darker. But also it
49:22
might make her a harder, more yeahs, less readable person too entirely,
49:30
and she could take that out on her kids or god knows what. So
49:34
we'll see, but yeah, let us know what you guys think about this
49:37
in the comments. And I got a big super chow from Meredith gen I
49:44
got it to it fits though, so that's cool. She gives us ten
49:46
dollars. Thank you, Meredith, and says HPI News four four seven.
49:50
Gatara's read was a diversity slash nepotism higher. Here is my problem with the
49:57
verdict. I'm concerned that Baldwin and other producers will not be held accountable.
50:01
The job in question calls for two armorers, not one that is also doing
50:06
other prop work. That decision meant instead of spending thirty thousand dollars per person,
50:10
they got one person who the jobs of all three, and an experienced
50:15
armorer would have cost more. This is the advantage of diversity hires. They
50:19
can be cheap. Who made the budgeting decision the producers of which Alec Baldwin
50:22
was one, along with his agent who has also budgeted a six figure salary
50:28
for the film. And it's a perfect storm because a young female with hypoagency
50:32
is the right kind of idiot to be at the center of a tragedy that
50:36
would have been prevented or could have been prevented by hiring experienced men who have
50:40
no problem enforcing safety on spoiled movie stars. This was about getting cheap labor
50:45
and diversity points to maximize profit and make sure their egotistical asshole who is behind
50:52
this project is never told. No, Yeah, that's I think that's right.
50:57
And I mean Alec Baldwin is the producer, so he the buck stots
51:00
with him, which was what we said, you know previously as well.
51:04
So we'll see what happens. I think that I think they are going to
51:07
try and pass the buck though, thank you, Meredith, really appreciate it.
51:12
Mitchell Bierre gets is five bucks and says, at least the black girl
51:14
didn't catch a bullet from a police officer to trying to intervene in the equivalent
51:19
of a teenage knife fight like happened in like what happened to Ohio. Yeah,
51:22
I remember that from like a while back. Every time something like this
51:25
happens, there's basically just the media just sees it as an opportunity and the
51:30
grifters and the race vaders and the ambulance chasers and all of that, and
51:36
it just it just needs to be the right kind of scenario, you know.
51:40
But it didn't didn't work out. I mean, it's a it's a
51:45
really tragic thing that happened, but at least I guess it's not resulting in
51:50
a spring of love. But we'll see and know, I've been saying this
51:55
for since the beginning of the year. Something will inevitably happened this year and
52:00
it will be used to create a gigantic crisis, and I mean, like
52:07
worse than twenty twenty because it is twenty twenty four. Anyway, let us
52:14
know where you guys are cheering up for it. Oh, absolutely, there's
52:17
well they've they've already created the conditions for it, Like why do you think
52:21
the border's open? Yeah? Yeah, So let us know what you guys
52:25
think about this one in the comments. I'm going to move on to the
52:29
final story, and I look forward to seeing what your thoughts are. So
52:34
all right, so we're gonna be talking again about gamer Gate, but now
52:39
it's official, and this is kind of a big story and I think it's
52:45
important. So I've been covering a little developments on the channel Honey Badger Arcade.
52:51
Please subscribe to Honey Badger Arcade. There's a link in the description so
52:54
you can see, like, you know, lots of the little stories that
52:58
I've been covering, as well as things that are sort of related but not
53:00
directly, like the notion or the ideas of stochastic entryism, you know,
53:07
as a means to like get in to these industries. But anyway, Mike
53:13
J provided this write up. So it's amazing to think that it's been a
53:17
decade since the consumer revolt focused on ethics and video game journalism better known as
53:22
gamer game began. But an unexpected series of events, a dodgy video game
53:25
consulting firm, a community of fed up gamers, one Steam curator group,
53:30
and a bit of sleuthing has reignited the supposedly dead firestorm. It all started
53:36
towards the end of January when Steam user Cabrutis started both a Steam group as
53:42
well as a curated Steam list. Steam is, you know, it's a
53:45
program you can use. It's like an online store you can use to buy
53:50
and play games. So in case you don't know what Steam is, some
53:52
of you guys are boomers. So theemes curator function allows users a place to
53:58
have all of their reviews or games collected in one area so that other users
54:01
can see it. So I can make a durrated you know, Steam page,
54:06
and I can put like, oh, here are all the games I
54:07
played, and here are the ones I like, and here are the ones
54:09
I don't like or whatever right, pretty pretty straightforward. It's basically like a
54:14
good way to advertise your products to but through word of mouth, because if
54:19
my friends like something, then I'm probably more likely to like it or whatever.
54:22
Strangely, Cabrutus only had one metric in his reviews if the game in
54:28
question had any relation to the video game consultancy firm, Sweet Baby Inc.
54:32
Or not. In fact, the only games reviewed were games that had some
54:38
connection to Sweet Baby Inc. And none of them were recommended by him.
54:43
But there was no malice implied by these reviews, no calls to action,
54:46
no harassment against the consultancy firm or the game studios that they were linked to,
54:51
not even a suggestion of boycott. The about section was simply one sentence
54:55
that reads a tracker for games involved with Sweet Baby Inc. To brutus esteam
55:00
curation page and Steam group page, both of which use the same name Sweet
55:06
baby Inc. Detected and both remained rather inactive for most of February, but
55:09
then it was picked up by the wider internet and Sweet baby Inc. Themselves.
55:15
Before we continue, it's important to learn exactly what sweet baby Inc.
55:19
Is, and that can be rather confusing. If you trust Sweet Baby Inc.
55:23
They are nothing more than the Canadian based video game Narrative Development and Consultation
55:28
studio, and their mission is to help bring inclusion and diversity into the narratives
55:32
of the games that they work on. For example, if a game is
55:36
to feature a group of people from a certain ethnicity, they would look over
55:38
things such as character dialogue and interactions to make sure none of it is accidentally
55:44
racist and therefore protect the game developers from their own ignorance. And while on
55:49
the surface that is what they claim to be, in practice they do the
55:52
opposite, from shoehorning in so called diverse characters, deriding straight white male characters,
55:58
which the CEO openly does all the time by the way, she hates
56:01
straight white men, and overall making the game worse. Sweet Baby Inc.
56:07
Has had their fingers in some of the worst games of the last few years,
56:10
such as much of such as the much derided Suicide Squad Kills the Justice
56:16
League. If you find it strange that a company like that can exist or
56:21
is even instill in business, it's important to know just who is pulling the
56:23
strings and making these payments. Looking behind Sweet Baby Inc. We find another
56:29
company, Baby Ghosts. Baby Ghosts bills themselves as a peer accelerator, offering
56:34
grants, mentorship, and professional connections to marginalized developers in order to combat bias,
56:38
barriers, and systemic norms. Looking at the eligibility for such a grant,
56:44
recipients must be Canadian from a minority group, have at least two members,
56:49
and be building a video game studio with a cooperative model. Applicants must
56:52
also be interested in making a social impact and place an emphasis on community.
56:58
So we have a company that plays this is a large emphasis. I'm bringing
57:00
in non white, diverse minorities to work on game design, and they seemingly
57:05
have a lot of money to throw around as they are offering grants of up
57:07
to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But the question must be act asked,
57:14
who is behind them? Behind Baby Ghosts, we find Weird Ghosts.
57:19
Weird Ghosts is yet another funding group dedicated to empowering Canadian minorities to shape the
57:23
feature of games. So very much like Baby Ghosts. Looking at the people
57:28
behind Weird Ghosts, one name in particular stands out Eileen Mary Helloka. Aside
57:36
from referring to herself as a queer and disabled, white settler living on Treaty
57:38
one Territory in Winnipeg, because when you're Canadian, you have to tell us
57:43
what whose who's stolen land you live on? She is the sister or I'm
57:49
sorry, she has only one notable connection to the video games industry. She
57:53
is the sister of Alec Holoka, who is Alec Holoka. Alec Heloka,
58:00
for those who don't know or who have forgotten, was responsible for the smash
58:04
hit indie games Night in the Woods and Aquaria. Alick is also known for
58:07
being accused of abuse sexual in nature by former girlfriend Zoe Quinn, a name
58:15
most people should recognize. Alec would eventually because his life was destroyed by this,
58:20
commit suicide over the allegations. And we now know that his sister inherited
58:24
his multi billion dollar gaming company and created all these ghost startup companies in order
58:30
to further infect gaming with her progressive rots. Fast forward back to the scene
58:36
creator curator group Sweet Baby Inc. Detected. Once they caught the attention of
58:39
the media and Sweet Baby Inc. Themselves, they became the victim of a
58:44
campaign of harassment which aimed to see both the Steam page and the creator banned.
58:49
So just I don't know if he points this out because Mike J did
58:52
the write up for this, but I interviewed Cabrutus on my channel Honey Badger
58:59
Arcade yes yesterday. There is a stream. We went for about an hour
59:01
and I spoke to him and he lives in Brazil, and he was telling
59:06
me that in Brazil video games are very expensive and so because Brazil money is
59:12
shit because they have a commie in power right now because they apparently stole the
59:16
election from Bolsonaro like a while back when they took over recently. But that
59:22
is another conversation entirely. But the point is his games are really expensive,
59:27
and if they banned from Steam, he will lose access to all of his
59:30
games, his whole library. So they're not just like kicking him out of
59:34
in a community they're taking. They're literally stealing from him if they kick him
59:37
off off the platform. So anyway, I'm gonna go. I just wanted
59:43
to put that out there so they aim to see him both the Steam page
59:46
and the Curator band. This charge was led by another ghost from gamer Gates,
59:52
pass Maya Felix Kramer aka Lego Buds, former crony of Zoe Quinn and
59:58
Anita Sarkisian and Kiss Chris Kindred yet another ghost with connections to all the aforementioned
1:00:05
companies. Despite the rallying efforts, Steam officially announced that no action would be
1:00:09
taken against either the Curative Page, the Curator's Page, or Cabrutus himself.
1:00:15
In the wake of this, the usual progressive gaming website started up again decrying
1:00:19
the Steam Creator group and its creator while defending Sweet Baby Inc. Oh they
1:00:22
called them harassers, sexists, misogynists, racist, conspiracy theorists for you know,
1:00:30
basically saying this is what's happening. And there's more to that too that
1:00:35
I could get into later. But ultimately this drama could have been a great,
1:00:38
big nothing, But due to the meddling of the terminally offended and the
1:00:43
srisean effect that prompted such armchair detectives to do some digging, we might just
1:00:46
have ourselves a gamer Gate two point zero. And I want to add to
1:00:52
this as well that Sweet Baby Inc. And all of the affiliates associated with
1:00:55
it are not simply trying to get remove people removed from the platform, and
1:01:00
they're not only you know, going to all the usual suspects Kotaku, The
1:01:05
Guardian, the Gamer, PC Gamer, there's lots of others. They people
1:01:09
on LinkedIn have been threatened if they discuss this topic. They have the Department
1:01:16
of Homeland Security looking into it. So this is like turning into something pretty
1:01:22
major. But on the plus side, I will say that, unlike in
1:01:25
twenty fourteen, people that are involved in this appear to be well aware of
1:01:30
what we're really up against, and that it's not just about ethics and journalism.
1:01:36
Okay, but anyway, that's all I will say about that. It's
1:01:39
interesting you're a terrorist now if you have a profession or a hobby and area
1:01:47
of interest, right, a major thing in your life that's very important to
1:01:52
you. And when somebody from outside of that that's not involved with you,
1:02:00
that doesn't have your interests in mind, that doesn't have the welfare of the
1:02:08
area of interest in mind, doesn't have the welfare of the hobby or the
1:02:13
profession or whatever in mind, They're just they've got a totally different thing in
1:02:16
mind and they want to insert it in that. If they attempt to do
1:02:22
that, and you notice like not even object, not even say you're not
1:02:28
welcome here, not even say I'm not participating in what you're doing. Just
1:02:30
you notice, now you're a terrorist for noticing that's where the goalposts have moved
1:02:37
for them. That should tell you how much consent means to them. They
1:02:45
don't just want to do it without your consent or against your will. You're
1:02:53
not even allowed to express awareness that it's happening. That's that's pretty nefarious right
1:03:01
there. Yeah, and they can't stand the notion that the could look Cabrutus
1:03:08
I interviewed him yesterday. Okay, I gotta tell you about this guy.
1:03:12
He is not a political like philosopher. He is doesn't he doesn't have an
1:03:19
interest in any of the stuff that we talk about. He's just a guy,
1:03:23
just a regular guy. He's about as regular as it comes. And
1:03:27
all he just cares about, like you know, when he invests money in
1:03:30
a game, he wants it to be good. And he had a bad
1:03:34
experience and he was like, who's behind this? And he saw a pattern
1:03:37
and he shared it and he was like, look, you know, I'm
1:03:39
not into this stuff. No one ever called for a boycott, no one
1:03:44
ever said you can't support these people. All they did was say, here's
1:03:47
a list of games that they've worked on. And by the way, Sweet
1:03:52
Baby Inc. Is not the cause. They are simply a symptom because there
1:03:55
are plenty of companies just like them all over, not just the video games
1:04:00
industry, but basically every industry. It comes back to that they do this
1:04:05
stuff to get money from companies like Black Rock. That's what that's what they're
1:04:12
doing. Because they're not selling games, just like the movies, like the
1:04:15
movies that tank, it doesn't matter because they get their payola from Blackrock,
1:04:19
from these gigantic conglomerates that are trying to Essentially what they're doing is they're trying
1:04:26
to engineer culture by changing behavior. And so when you say look as a
1:04:30
as a you know, a person who lives in a market where I can
1:04:34
still decide how to spend my money, I'm not going to spend it on
1:04:38
that. That's what they don't like. So it's not it's not that they
1:04:42
don't like that you don't like their product. It's that they don't want you
1:04:45
to be able to choose. They want to force you to do what they're
1:04:48
going to do. You know, live in the pod, eat the bugs,
1:04:51
and play the shitty games. So that's what I's no that's not what
1:04:57
I think. That's what's happening. That's why they're mad. It's a it's
1:05:00
the same thing is happening in other areas with other things, like there's there's
1:05:04
a local grocery store that I will not name in this area that is slowly
1:05:09
eliminating products that are not their store brand, and it's I've been watching this
1:05:15
happen for the last ten years, Like all of the cheese that is not
1:05:20
their store brand of cheese except a few select choices, have have disappeared.
1:05:27
And I have a feeling that those few select choices have paid to be on
1:05:31
their shelves or given them a break to be on their shelves, because when
1:05:35
I worked in grocery distribution in a pharmacy of all places that sold groceries,
1:05:45
that's that's how a lot of things got on the shelf, was that they
1:05:48
gave a deal or gave a break, or gave a kickback in order to
1:05:56
get there. But it's interesting to watch because you know, you make an
1:06:01
effort to get the things that you want, and you know you complain,
1:06:06
well, these things aren't on the shelf anymore, and they will tell you,
1:06:10
well, it's because nobody's been buying them for the last so many months.
1:06:13
Well, yeah, you haven't had them on the shelf for that long.
1:06:15
It's been off the shelf for six months now. Well, it's been
1:06:19
off the shelf because nobody's buying it, And when it's really the other way
1:06:24
around, it's nobody's buying it because it's been off the shelf. If they
1:06:29
take over every corner of your hobby or your profession or your area of interest
1:06:35
and find ways to insert a thing you don't want into every available outlet and
1:06:43
every available product, every available interaction with the thing that you're interested in,
1:06:49
that takes away your ability to choose their absence, It takes away your ability
1:06:57
to choose engagement with your interest without their interference. And that's what's happening here.
1:07:05
Different companies come in and insist that every outlet, every product creator,
1:07:15
every publisher, every engagement with you the public be done through them, or
1:07:24
include them, or involve them, or be guided by them. And now
1:07:29
they're mad because people are noticing, and people might object, people might want
1:07:34
something they didn't have control over. And that is basically how that they force
1:07:41
you to comply by taking away your option of non compliance, and again,
1:07:51
consent doesn't matter to them. That is essentially how you override someone's consent without
1:08:00
them realizing it, How you override someone's objections without them being able to stop
1:08:06
you, is you cut off every avenue they can take to object You cut
1:08:14
off every alternative until there is no way for them to do the thing,
1:08:20
whatever the thing is, there is no way for them to have the thing
1:08:26
without complying with your demands. And it's when they insert it into hobbies and
1:08:33
people complain, well, you know, the argument is, it's just a
1:08:36
hobby, why are you so mad? Except it is some people's profession,
1:08:41
right, And they're not just inserting it into hobbies. They're inserting it into
1:08:46
your workplace. They're inserting it into your banking, they're inserting it into your
1:08:51
media, they're inserting it into your social media, like there is no area
1:08:58
of your life. They're inserting it into your medical treatment. You can't go
1:09:02
to the doctor without consenting to this by default because you don't have an alternative.
1:09:14
You can't go to a pharmacy and get medication for your medical conditions without
1:09:17
this. You can't go to the grocery store and buy food without this interference.
1:09:25
There is no place left that is not being interfered with, not even
1:09:30
your church. So when people act like this is something that's not nefarious,
1:09:41
that people are going overboard objecting to that, you're not being tolerant of other
1:09:46
people when you don't allow this to take over your hobby, your area of
1:09:54
interest, your workplace, whatever it is that you're looking at at the Momentuly
1:10:00
doing is pretty much the same thing that child molesters do to children when they're
1:10:04
grooming them. They make you the bad guy for saying no. They make
1:10:10
you a bad guy for having boundaries right. They make you a bad guy
1:10:15
for noticing what's going on and noticing that something might be wrong about it and
1:10:25
speaking up about it, even just quietly, even saying you're doing this to
1:10:30
me. Not I object to you doing this, just you did this,
1:10:34
that's it. They're objecting to you even being aware of what is happening.
1:10:45
That is terrifying. And again, you know, I'm glad that you pointed
1:10:53
this out. If you know, it's easy to dismiss this as simply affecting
1:10:59
video games, but like Hannah said, this is much bigger than that.
1:11:02
So I'm if you are here because I know that there are some people there
1:11:09
that might know me from or are here because of like Honeypatcher Arcade stuff that
1:11:14
I've done. I hope you realize that the scale of this is bigger and
1:11:18
there are there's plenty. This is the thing that I think is a little
1:11:21
bit heartening is that there are content creators more that are more vocal, and
1:11:27
they're more hardcore, and they're less cucked that I'm talking about this, and
1:11:30
they're really sick of it because it's you know, this has been a pattern
1:11:35
in our culture for like the past decade at least, and people are really
1:11:41
sick of it, and they're doing some digging and they're and they're figuring this
1:11:44
shit out. I'll make some recommendations. I would look up Kyle l See
1:11:48
uh it's I'm gonna spell this wrong. See why A. E. L.
1:11:54
Nerd wars Is is very good. Uh. And I think even the
1:12:00
side scrollers has been doing some stuff, so you know, check that stuff
1:12:03
up. Cabrutus is cool. I think that he's just a normal guy that
1:12:06
got swept up in something. He's probably gonna be like backing away, and
1:12:12
I get it because it's there's a lot and it's very heavy. So all
1:12:15
I would say is, you know, in the meantime if you are.
1:12:19
And oh, by the way, it's worth pointing out that this stuff only
1:12:21
happens in male hobbies like this, this stuff only happens when men invest in
1:12:28
something and men get excited about something. That's the first thing to go because
1:12:32
women are not going to stand up for them so or at least not in
1:12:35
not in droves. Yeah, that's the thing. It's happening in male hobbies
1:12:40
because when people approach women with this stuff like they they don't, they don't
1:12:46
object to it as as much. They don't, They just go along with
1:12:50
it. Right, You have to change what you're doing. You have to
1:12:57
basically change your hobby so that even the nothing in your hobby is about politics.
1:13:02
Our whole political set of ideals has to become entrenched in it and part
1:13:09
of it, and your hobby has to become about that primarily, and the
1:13:13
hobby itself is now secondary to it. Right. Uh. For for silvertongue
1:13:18
who doesn't understand what this is that we're talking about. If you go back
1:13:24
to the point where we read the gamer Gate two article, where Brian read
1:13:30
the gamer Gate two article that explains what this is. Yeah, but I
1:13:36
just kind of gave a summary there as well. We're just we're just trying
1:13:41
to protect ourselves from cultural vandalism iconoclasty. It's like you remember when was it
1:13:46
isis that went into temples and were like destroying, you know, statues.
1:13:51
This is that you know when like when like environmental activisations of that. Yeah,
1:13:57
like you know when environmental activists like based like put you know, like
1:14:01
grease or paint all over like classic works of art like the Mona Lisa.
1:14:06
Yeah, that's what this is. It's just in our in our well,
1:14:10
in our culture and our popular culture. So yep, unless but yeah,
1:14:16
it's it's Dave Well you yeah, you can what he says. You're broadcasting
1:14:24
live. I can't go back until the stream ends. How long have you
1:14:28
been listening to this stream? You can go back a little there the stream,
1:14:30
because I would advise starting at an earlier point. You can do that.
1:14:34
You actually can click back and re listen, and you can even set
1:14:39
it on a faster speed so that you can hear it faster. If you
1:14:43
can listen faster, some people can, some people can't. But that then
1:14:47
that would catch you up eventually, So go ahead, brief point, don't
1:14:57
forget last time this happened, the small domino became the big domino and we
1:15:02
ended up meme magicing ourselves into a Trump presidency and Brexit. It's so yeah,
1:15:11
it's long overdue. Oh I don't look at Yeah. I know people
1:15:16
that are in denial about the connection, but I can tell you this is
1:15:20
why, by the way they're getting they're freaking out so much. I've gone
1:15:24
through a number of articles where, well, we'll get into it in the
1:15:28
Patron Show, but there's definitely a number of articles where the journalists are like,
1:15:32
oh my god, no, not the harassment campaign. And it's an
1:15:36
election year. We're all going to die, you know, Orange Man.
1:15:43
So yeah, we might we we. I don't. I don't want to
1:15:45
say anything. All I'm saying is these people should be out of our hobby.
1:15:49
And I don't know what to do other than tell you, guys,
1:15:53
to make sure that you are are are informed before you spend your money.
1:15:59
That's all. I'm not gonna tell you what to spend your money on them.
1:16:00
You can do whatever you want, but be informed before you make a
1:16:05
decision. And you know, I would say, look, at double A
1:16:10
developers or even like indie developers more if that's what you're interested in. But
1:16:15
anyway, with all that out of the way, I guess we will look
1:16:20
at your superchows and wrap it up. Let make sure I didn't miss any
1:16:24
rumble rants, because for some reason the rumble rants don't come through. No,
1:16:26
I did not get any, and I don't think there's any super chats
1:16:30
either. All right, so I did get one superchow. Yuh, Vivian's
1:16:40
gonna leave. Oh, that's the wrong one. She goes bye. I
1:16:43
got a superchow from Richard Bierre gives us five dollars and says perhaps this is
1:16:47
a factor in why so many games are online only and you won't be allowed
1:16:51
to have a physical local copy in your possession because the copy in your possession
1:16:55
can't be altered post purchase. The online update process is some case does alter
1:17:00
appearance of characters super particular developer preferences and can override what is stored on the
1:17:04
physical media. Non network devices are becoming the best options. Yes, I
1:17:10
think that's right. If paying for a game means you don't own it,
1:17:15
then pirrating a game is not theft. I would certainly never insinuate that you
1:17:21
should pirate games. Pirate games. I would never insinuate those two. Was
1:17:28
that an echo? Is there an echo in here games? I'm just repeating
1:17:31
the words pirate games because they was in my senses that I'm saying you should
1:17:35
never do that. Pirate games. That is the thing you should never do.
1:17:43
Don't ever pirate games. All right, Well, anyways, so thank
1:17:48
you for the super child, and we're going to wrap this up and head
1:17:50
into the Patron Only Show, where speaking of gamer Gate two, we're going
1:17:56
to be looking at this article from well, this is from Dual Shockers Dual
1:18:02
Shockers entitled baltos Key. Three mods that glow up faces are my pet peeve.
1:18:10
There's a couple of other ones, but they're a little too deep.
1:18:13
But all I'm saying is get ready because the gamers are dead. Articles are
1:18:17
here and they're gonna keep coming, and we are doing this dance again,
1:18:23
but hopefully this time we will finish it. So thanks guys so much for
1:18:28
coming on the show. I hope I see you in the Patron Show,
1:18:30
either in the live chat on YouTube or the Discord chat. If you guys

guys think about what we discussed on the show today, and please consider subscribing
1:18:49
to Honey Badger Arcade. I will be giving regular updates. I don't want
1:18:54
to burden the main channel or this channel with that news because this channel has
1:18:59
a specific focus, so I'm trying to do more stuff over there. Anyway,
1:19:03
Please consider doing that, and please please please share this video because Sherry
1:19:08
is caring. Thanks so much for coming on today's episode of the news show,
1:19:12
and we will see you next Tuesday.
