Yep. There was this guy in a forum who said he was not really comfortable with a male/male shipping pair in a certain fandom. Immediately, calls for cancellation of him. Anti lettuce bacon garlic tomato and queso, they said. Fortunately, a bunch of others gathered together and fought back and said that not everything must always be gay. As for the OP, turns out he was uncomfortable because he was groomed by an older male relative and that ship reminded him of a traumatic childhood.
My question to all of this is: What were the higher ups doing while all this was happening? Why are they simply letting the CM have free reign on moderating the community with zero oversight?

This just shows how “out of touch” these companies have become from their actual customers. Look at NIANTIC and WARHAMMER for example. All of the customers are screaming to fix the mess, yet they see REDDIT praising the ridiculous changes and go “well, if REDDIT likes it, then it’s okay, despite going DEAF by the screams of 95% of the customers.” It’s quite frankly, baffling as to how detached they have become…
Yeah, and reddit seemingly praises it because other voices are silenced and banned. Those reddits are ruled by woke activists who use them actively to push the agenda.
Reddit echo chambers are incredibly toxic and shouldn't be taken into consideration at all. Sadly every fan reddit gets infiltrators like these creatures and they slowly take over because normal people have other things to do then spend 24/7 online talking about what they like instead of doing it. I will give one example, Warcraft Rumble reddit is a niche fandom right now, because Blizzard has not added anything interesting for months to the game or anything extra to do all people talked about is asked questions about what talent is the best to buy for X minion. From time to time in these posts creatures would roam in to complain people only post questions like this ... like how toxic can you be to click on something you don't like at all, that you could have overlooked and just click on a thread you were interested in ? Better yet why not create one yourself if there are none. I know the answer to why not create one, because evil destroys and corrupts, never creates. Creatures like these need to be gatekept, they are the same ones who start crying when there are problems with a game and people posting about it are toxic because there is no positivity! You are not allowed to voice your opinion unless it's positive! And this is how they slowly turn everything into an echo chamber. People leave because they care about the product or fandom but don't want to waste time dealing with creatures and move on... and in the end, only creatures are left and you either conform and submit to complete echo indoctrination or leave!
So much easier for small business owners like myself to stay in touch with my customer base because I literally live with them in the same community, go to the same places, my kids plays with and hangs out with their children and we belong to same groups, I don't live in a gated community isolated from them.
Most execs don't know social media. And I have to say, those commies knew this and I have to grudgingly admit that it was a genius move to corrupt the communities. This created the false impression that their ideology represents the customer base.
The players arent helping either. Uninstall those games if you want to make a real statement. As this video here mentioned, sticking around means you are consenting to those changes. Vote with your wallet folks.
For the most part Most Women treat other women poorly in social groups. They’ve created animosity online and IRL in their spaces and have decided to branch out to men’s hobbies as there is money and clout in it. Not to mention men love being around women for the most part though it doesn’t always go both ways. They played men like a fiddle and continue the concerto as well speak. I’ve learned to just do things in my own spaces and entirely offline. There’s some pretty cool groups in my town so I keep it to that.
The people controlling these male brands, these male franchises are the ones who hired these undeserving intersectional feminist activists into these positions of power. These are not just regular "women". They are political activists, radical feminists who want to push an anti male agenda and take over these decades old franchises in tabletop gaming or in video games or in entertainment. They have been allowed to do that by stupid weak minded men and also weak minded women in executive positions who were pressured by the political branch and also their own environment to allow ESG and DEI to take over regardless of how this move would be illogical from a commercial and financial standpoint.

And people keep saying gatekeeping is a dirty word. We need more gatekeeping. You either guard the gates of your hobby or sooner or later it's you who will be on the outside looking in. Remember, just because you're gatekeeping on your hobby doesn't mean the door doesn't open sometimes. It's not a wall. We get to choose, as the fandom, whether and when the door opens. If we don't, we get BS like this and our hobby dies.

Search for "warhammer helldivers miniatures.' The work needed is relatively minor to create a squad of Guardsmen that look like Helldivers, complete with capes, a Guard Dog drone and heavy weaponry. And, if one were to look on...certain flag-waving sites...one could find 'convincing replicas' of GW miniatures that can be 3d printed.

You either mock and ridicule the scum and creatures at the gates or end up being gatekept from your own thing. All that is happening right now is bullying on the playground but under the guise of virtues and holier then thou. Back then bullies saw you playing with your toys with a friend or 2 on the ground, happy, laughing. They came and made you leave so they could "play" there, the way they played was just to trash the place so nobody could enjoy it anymore. At one point this happened to a friend when we were kids, we searched for the bullies, surrounded them and started making fun of them and picking on them. We were a lot more so they no longer had the numbers. Of course their eyes got teary and we laughed even more. Guess what, after that we never saw them again anywhere near we played.
Never tolerate evil, that's why they made so many buzz words to make you feel bad about your anger.

Also, funny how those clowns in charge of Pokemon Go for instance are ignoring the female audience that is angry that they cute avatars now look ugly. It was never about women.
It was also never about groups of marginalized races, sexual orientations or identities, because whenever someone who has those very same labels (black, gay, trans, etc.) speaks out against them, they have no issue hurling at them insults that would make the n-word and the f-word seem like kindergarten insults in comparison. Identity was always the front, the thing that actually makes them part of the same group is unconditional loyalty to ideology.
"You know, you Americans have funny ideas about life under communism. Apparently you think there's a communist soldier standing on every street corner with a rifle and bayonet to keep the people in line, but this isn't so. I lived in the largest city in the country. We had a large park there directly across the street. Anytime I wanted to, I could have gone into that park, stood on a bench, and spoken out against communism, and I wouldn't have been arrested or bothered in any way. But you can be sure I did not do these things, because if I had, the very next day the wheels of the bureaucracy would have begun to turn, and I would have been informed that my quota of food stamps had been cut, that my allotment for clothing and shoes had been reduced, that my allocation for living quarters had been downgraded, and finally that my job assignment had been changed from the kind of work for which I'd been trained to menial labour, at lower pay. So none of us did any of those things that we were theoretically entitled to do because of the tremendous power that the communist party had over our economic existence. "You know I came to America expecting to find a nation of free men, but instead I find exactly the same thing. Everywhere I look, I see men and women who know that communists are making headway in this country. They know that something must be done, and that someone must stand up to them, but they themselves do nothing. They remain silent, because they're afraid that if they speak out, or take a stand publicly, it will be bad for business. They might lose a client. They may even lose their jobs. Or, perhaps they're receiving a regular government cheque, and already are too dependent upon some of the very people and programs they know they should oppose. These men, voluntarily, have gone behind the iron curtain. They're already taken over by the communists. The only difference is that for the present at least, they can still get out any time they really want to, and we could not." - G. Edward Griffin, 1969

There is a step in this process that that Grummz missed. This community manager's takeover of the Battletech Subreddit and Discord wasn't some sneaky, behind-the-scenes thing that the company wasn't aware of. She was HIRED by CGL specifically to do it. CGL wants to "fix" the fan-base to be more in line with the vast, teeming, chomping-at-the-bit-to-spend-money "modern audience" that's been avoiding the franchise because of all the conservative types infesting the fan-base. Look how well it's worked for Star Wars and Star Trek (and terminator and Dr. Who and Indy and Willow and Transformers and Tomb Raider and Marvel comics and DC . . . )
"ESG money" is a red herring and irrelevant to GW. People don't seem to know how shares etc. work. GW do not care if blackrock, vanguard pull out. There are 10,000s of investors lining up to take GW stock. GW do not care about ESG and only pay lip service to it (which is why the ESG sections of their reports to investors DO NOT MENTION the woke BS other than a few meaningless lines). If you're a tiny company - like a video game company with few staff - yes, "ESG money" is a good idea. Companies the size of GW do not have to give a sh*t - and they don't. GW are woke because they were captured by woke people and chose to be so. End of story. Pretending this had anything to do with ESG (GW actually hate ESG) is barking up the wrong tree and allowing the real culprits to hide themselves.

When they came for the X, I said "I don't mind". When they came for me, there was nobody else to mind.

I had an attempted Marxist takeover of my Discord server back in 2020. The irritation around the election season caused one of my former friends to talk around with a few others until he found other Marxists. From there, he had grouped with them in the server and started DMing me that I should ban all the right wingers in the server, including the libertarian ones. They were being incredibly toxic and demandy, especially to me when I would try to stay neutral. Ironically, it was a liberal they were going to let stay. Take that how you will. 😂 Anyway, instead of banning my friends I made the hard decision of banning the Marxists instead, which is how I think we have to fight this shit. Stand up to them and purge them like how they'd purge you. Now my small community of 150 friends are a haven from this culture war.

(It was really just people like you or I who aren't politically correct aka normal) Anyway get this: after kicking the offenders, one of them a girl, caused her simps to go off in my server spamming it, calling us all fascists, and throwing whiny tantrums until I had to ban them too.

@@Justmonika6969 I learned this perspective in college from overzealous professors. They tended to view everything through a political lens and saw everything as propaganda. If something did not align with their beliefs, they considered it a tool for the opposition and sought to control or destroy it. This is why entertainment companies do not care if their franchises fail, as long as the franchises are not perceived as supporting the opposition. Essentially, in their minds, everything is political.
Oh man, if it happened to BattleTech, being a "no politics" company, now there's no guarantee it won't happen with Arrowhead and Helldivers. They already have a woke community manager of their own
Its not about the pulse of community, its about whatever will get you that ESG money, that Black Rock and Co's was handing out like free condomes during drugs, now they are addicted, people are going outside, cost of everything is increasing, people are constantly aging out of the hobbies, and kids are addicted to cell phones without much time for anything else their parents/schools haven't preprogrammed into their day.
As a person who has experienced this first-hand, I will explain how these things actually happen: ___ First off, the majority of Marxists are feminists. Marxism is a popular left-wing ideology and over 70% of women identify as leftists. What happens is as follows: A product either becomes popular, receives a fair degree of marketing or the company hires a consulting firm for the purposes of marketing a product to a particular demographic. At some point, the company (who is almost always ignorant of culture-war and wokeness) sets out to make the product "inclusive" to maximize sales. These "consultants" are brought in to review the product and recommend changes as needed. Because the aim is "diversity" and "Inclusivity", *these consultants are almost 100% of the time (black) women or gay men/trans-women,* as they are now considered the face of "diversity, equity and inclusion" *(DEI).* These groups recommend politically-motivated changes, as well as hiring other activist organizations, greatly expanding the development of said product. The company or investors are told (routinely) that, *while there will be some criticisms of these changes,* the product will largely be successful. These investors/companies; *who do not know their fanbase or are afraid of social backlash* agree to the changes. The product either tanks with its intended market or does not meet sales expectations, and these activist groups quickly take to social media to do damage control while having internal discussions about next steps. They are then either quietly fired, resign (after they are paid for their "services") or kept on for future releases until another situation leads to the previously mentioned scenario. ___ I have seen this happen (twice) in real-time, I was in a company when this happened. Also, when these activists leave companies/projects, they rebrand or join other companies and will outright lie on resumes and things like that. They will also outright lie to gain control of the direction of development. ___ *EDIT:* There is a solution to this and it's not "leave", running away is not a solution. The solution is to "fight back", something gamers do not do. The reason that this is happening is because gamers (as a collective) do not fight for shit. They complain or run away and expect that to fix the issue. These activists *FIGHT* for what they want and you normies *DO NOTHING* about it, some of you even support it. For example, *ALL* of you supported JKR and Hogwarts because you incorrectly thought she was some anti-woke freedom fighter. JKR is a man-hating feminist, who hates the trans community because they infringe on women's rights. *JKR took the money that you MEN gave her and poured it into feminist companies and groups like Sweet Baby Inc.* These corporations will not fight these activists if they don't see a reason to. Until *YOU* gamers fight for what you want, this will not stop or change.
It's like a modern day Mao's Great Leap Forward where every single hobby big and small gets co opted and infiltrated and subverted by communists until there's nowhere to turn to to escape it.

Grummz was the ally we needed back 10 years ago when this whole thing first started. Happy that he is speaking up now, but I went through absolute hell after getting my Games/IT Degree just to get a job interview for a Quality Assurance position in a Games Company that does existing Game Ports onto other platforms. I failed to get the position in 2017 but saw on a private FB-group in 2018 that these people in Games Industry are activists.
A good thing about Model trains is that it is fairly hard to infiltrate. Same goes for most minaturism such as war diorama or others that does not stop at ready made models and does not have a monopoly dictating how the hobby is enjoyed ( cough Warhammer 40 K ), because it requires you to put a large amount of time and skill into something apolitical in order to have anything that gives you a platform in the community. Delayed gratification hobbies and masculine hobbies also lacks an appeal to these people.
Give it time. Tangentially related, but even the Talyllyn Railway just put out a promo video highlighting how queer friendly they are to try and phish for financing.
"First they came for the D&D community, and I did not speak up because I was not a D&D fan, then they came for the Battletech community, and I did not speak up because I was not a Battletech fan, then they came for the Warhammer 40k community, and I did not speak up because I was not a "true" Warhammer fan. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." (Inspired by Martin Niemöller's quote)
I'm not sure there's anything that can be done unless most of the fans agree and boycott. If you're a tabletop 40k player, just refuse to play against a femstodes, for instance. But again that requires that you are the majority.
It doesn't always have to be a boycott The best way to stop people pirating is offering a good product & caring for fans so fans want to get official merch But now? Why shouldn't people 3d print & find rules online cutting GW out of their own revenue It would be interesting to compare how many custodies players pirate the new codex compared to those that bought it
What I'm seeing clearly is the recruitment/networking angle now. It jumped out at me during the Game Designers Workshop when they had their little "scream-in". Yeah it looks ridiculous, but if you want to show your part of the crowd, there ya go. Just saw an email to join a group meeting IRL this Friday for a moment of silence to "call attention to bullying of LGBT+". Pretty specific, just the bullying of those people. Come genuflect at the altar.
See the bigger mistake was the damn reddit making changes to get "access" to exclusives from the company. Fuck that, that's a devil's bargain no matter what and it always backfires when you take from any company, If it was bad for 4chan, it's going to be bad for any fan site to do that.
The others have given good answers, but the best is perhaps YOU. Of course don't sell your house and max out your credit cards, but if you've ever had a favorite homebrew system, or an idea on the "best" way to do a particular genre, now is the best time to assemble it together and put it out there.
Both Warhammer and battle tech are going to or have already lost a lot of revenue due to people 3D printing their models. They are just trying to squeeze the last bit of ESG money from their IPs.
We must encourage companies to embrace wokeness like never before so they can lose money that much faster when nobody buys or consumes their garbage. Financial assaults are the only language these out of touch companies know, they clearly aren't listening to the real and paying customers.
We have to ask ourselves this question. Despite being extremely unpopular and generally financially bad, why is it that companies and entertainment keep hiring these people and adopting these policies and politics? It's because these people for 1: have control of the education system, meaning they have a large influence on the people who will go to work in these companies, 2nd: they have the backing of massive investment funds that promote them in order to get their political projects implemented, 3rd: these people are true believers in the ideology. Its essentially a religion to them and will follow it even if it burns the company down. And 4th: they have the backing of anti-discrimination laws that make any gatekeeping against them basically illegal. To fix these issues, we must first fix academia and law.
A lot of us here may have, but do you think any normies had a clue? Most normies still don't have a clue. That's why people like Grummz continuously exposing this to more and more people everytime is important.
To be honest, the Catalyst Battletech forums have always been a place for nepotism and toxicity, particularly from the moderators. You show them wjere you've been harassed in a screenshot, and if it's someone on their friends list, or if they agreed with the perpetrator, they'd let it ride and ban the victim. I left after a row with their upper echelon, even after Weisman himself got involved to try and calm things down. I appreciate his efforts, but he needed to get rid of that toxic bunch, they were terrible and Im more than sure they're the same bunch allowing this current era politics in to ruin the game.
I was the lead moderator for the facebook Space Opera group for years, taking it from around 2k up to around 20k by the time I turned the reigns over to the other mods. We had a very strict no politics rule, excepting only the politics discussed within the work itself. No real-world contemporary politics. One warning, then banned. When we did ban someone, there was a post describing the orbital strike that took them out :) Some of those were pretty funny too. Regardless, it was effective and kept the group as apolitical as possible. I bowed out in 2018 as I'd taken a job that didn't give me as much slack time as previously AND, honestly, I could see just how devisive Star Trek Discovery was going to be. I didn't realize that was the least of our worries at the time :)
I tried giving Battletech a chance... and I regret it... I'm coming back East to enjoy my Super Robot Wars, Front Missions, SD Gundam G Generations and Armored Cores.
IIRC we had the same thing at the student club at uni. Marxism-Leninism, pronoun wars (transing didn't exist yet), anti-fascism, occupy empty buildings, and boycott actions against the MIC came slowly, then ever faster until it became unlivable and a second club had to be created. Not that there is anything wrong with sticking it to the (now) MICIMATT complex.
Also, they might try to take W40K, but thanks to fan works, we can avoid these clowns retooling of the franchise and do our own stuff. Good luck trying to patch a written book on paper or model kits that we already own.
Also to note. Bricky being of the biggest 40k channels defedned these idiotic retcons to 40k, even doubling down on it with the same arguments GW and the rest of these fake fans are stating. Which is to why i recommend unsubbing from him.
The issue is why are these companies hiring someone who doesn't even play or like their game to be their 'community manager'... that's where it starts.
I think it's not just a matter of recognizing and not supporting these insidious takeovers, but building and gatekeep alternatives of what they did take over. Because they have been rather smart about what they took over, choosing targets that would cause great inconvenience if avoided. Sarna aka the most popular battletech wiki is also following the steps of this community manager. I've been avoiding that site but looking up anything battletech is quite troublesome. Same with Nexus mod, I've been avoiding it but it means getting any mod requires word of mouth and tracking down the modder's site/git if it even exists outside of Nexus.
Check out the novel "Fallen off the Bifrost" on kindle. It is written by Jay Barrell, the same guy who is writing the based-as-FUK alt-d20 game "The Harrowed Earth" from *DaemonEye Publishing* and takes place in the same game world. It is the total OPPOSITE of this woke crud 😂
Now that you're making a game of your own you probably understand the value of having a personal and direct line to your customers. As soon as some filter gets in between the two is when issues start to arise. Not to mention that subversive types will always target any such filter positions. Considering it's now easier than ever I'd say that every creator should do exactly this: Have a direct line of communication with their customers. No managers, PR, journalists, etc. Bypass all filters and only use unmoderated (as much as such a thing is possible) platforms. Which is another issue as well, the subversives will also target moderator positions in order to shape what appears to be the popular narrative.

People leave because they care about the product or fandom but don't want to waste time dealing with creatures and move on... and in the end, only creatures are left and you either conform and submit to complete echo indoctrination or leave!
So much easier for small business owners like myself to stay in touch with my customer base because I literally live with them in the same community, go to the same places, my kids plays with and hangs out with their children and we belong to same groups, I don't live in a gated community isolated from them.

For the most part Most Women treat other women poorly in social groups. They’ve created animosity online and IRL in their spaces and have decided to branch out to men’s hobbies as there is money and clout in it. Not to mention men love being around women for the most part though it doesn’t always go both ways. They played men like a fiddle and continue the concerto as well speak. I’ve learned to just do things in my own spaces and entirely offline. There’s some pretty cool groups in my town so I keep it to that.
Too many Simps raised by single mothers and weak fathers.
The people controlling these male brands, these male franchises are the ones who hired these undeserving intersectional feminist activists into these positions of power. These are not just regular "women". They are political activists, radical feminists who want to push an anti male agenda and take over these decades old franchises in tabletop gaming or in video games or in entertainment. They have been allowed to do that by stupid weak minded men and also weak minded women in executive positions who were pressured by the political branch and also their own environment to allow ESG and DEI to take over regardless of how this move would be illogical from a commercial and financial standpoint.

And people keep saying gatekeeping is a dirty word. We need more gatekeeping. You either guard the gates of your hobby or sooner or later it's you who will be on the outside looking in. Remember, just because you're gatekeeping on your hobby doesn't mean the door doesn't open sometimes. It's not a wall. We get to choose, as the fandom, whether and when the door opens. If we don't, we get BS like this and our hobby dies.

Back then bullies saw you playing with your toys with a friend or 2 on the ground, happy, laughing. They came and made you leave so they could "play" there, the way they played was just to trash the place so nobody could enjoy it anymore.
At one point this happened to a friend when we were kids, we searched for the bullies, surrounded them and started making fun of them and picking on them. We were a lot more so they no longer had the numbers. Of course their eyes got teary and we laughed even more. Guess what, after that we never saw them again anywhere near we played.

It was never about women.
It was also never about groups of marginalized races, sexual orientations or identities, because whenever someone who has those very same labels (black, gay, trans, etc.) speaks out against them, they have no issue hurling at them insults that would make the n-word and the f-word seem like kindergarten insults in comparison.
Identity was always the front, the thing that actually makes them part of the same group is unconditional loyalty to ideology.
"You know, you Americans have funny ideas about life under communism. Apparently you think there's a communist soldier standing on every street corner with a rifle and bayonet to keep the people in line, but this isn't so. I lived in the largest city in the country. We had a large park there directly across the street. Anytime I wanted to, I could have gone into that park, stood on a bench, and spoken out against communism, and I wouldn't have been arrested or bothered in any way. But you can be sure I did not do these things, because if I had, the very next day the wheels of the bureaucracy would have begun to turn, and I would have been informed that my quota of food stamps had been cut, that my allotment for clothing and shoes had been reduced, that my allocation for living quarters had been downgraded, and finally that my job assignment had been changed from the kind of work for which I'd been trained to menial labour, at lower pay. So none of us did any of those things that we were theoretically entitled to do because of the tremendous power that the communist party had over our economic existence.
"You know I came to America expecting to find a nation of free men, but instead I find exactly the same thing. Everywhere I look, I see men and women who know that communists are making headway in this country. They know that something must be done, and that someone must stand up to them, but they themselves do nothing. They remain silent, because they're afraid that if they speak out, or take a stand publicly, it will be bad for business. They might lose a client. They may even lose their jobs. Or, perhaps they're receiving a regular government cheque, and already are too dependent upon some of the very people and programs they know they should oppose. These men, voluntarily, have gone behind the iron curtain. They're already taken over by the communists. The only difference is that for the present at least, they can still get out any time they really want to, and we could not."

ESG money mixed with the tears of non-fans seems to be a potent combination.
`
"ESG money" is a red herring and irrelevant to GW. People don't seem to know how shares etc. work. GW do not care if blackrock, vanguard pull out. There are 10,000s of investors lining up to take GW stock. GW do not care about ESG and only pay lip service to it (which is why the ESG sections of their reports to investors DO NOT MENTION the woke BS other than a few meaningless lines). If you're a tiny company - like a video game company with few staff - yes, "ESG money" is a good idea. Companies the size of GW do not have to give a sh*t - and they don't.
GW are woke because they were captured by woke people and chose to be so. End of story. Pretending this had anything to do with ESG (GW actually hate ESG) is barking up the wrong tree and allowing the real culprits to hide themselves.

I'm reminded of another quote from Kotor. "Apathy is death". Whenever something in a hobby gets subverted or rewritten and people go "I don't mind", that's the signal that the hobby is about to be dead. The "I don't mind" mentality is apathy. When they came for the X, I said "I don't mind". When they came for me, there was nobody else to mind.

I had an attempted Marxist takeover of my Discord server back in 2020. The irritation around the election season caused one of my former friends to talk around with a few others until he found other Marxists. From there, he had grouped with them in the server and started DMing me that I should ban all the right wingers in the server, including the libertarian ones. They were being incredibly toxic and demandy, especially to me when I would try to stay neutral. Ironically, it was a liberal they were going to let stay. Take that how you will. 😂
Anyway, instead of banning my friends I made the hard decision of banning the Marxists instead, which is how I think we have to fight this shit. Stand up to them and purge them like how they'd purge you. Now my small community of 150 friends are a haven from this culture war.
I find it ironic how they fight for justice, fairness, equality, yet all they leave in their wake is division and destruction. They're worse than the bullies they supposedly fight.
@@Commanderhurtz1 Yeah it was an awful event in my servers history. I didn't like having to lose friends over this but I had no choice: It was either they went or my other friends they kept claiming were fascists went. Even if true, the "fascists" were being civil and only presenting opposition to their beliefs. (It was really just people like you or I who aren't politically correct aka normal)
Anyway get this: after kicking the offenders, one of them a girl, caused her simps to go off in my server spamming it, calling us all fascists, and throwing whiny tantrums until I had to ban them too. It was like, once they couldn't take over my server and it's community, they decided they would destroy it instead.
@@Justmonika6969 I learned this perspective in college from overzealous professors. They tended to view everything through a political lens and saw everything as propaganda. If something did not align with their beliefs, they considered it a tool for the opposition and sought to control or destroy it. This is why entertainment companies do not care if their franchises fail, as long as the franchises are not perceived as supporting the opposition. Essentially, in their minds, everything is political.
Oh man, if it happened to BattleTech, being a "no politics" company, now there's no guarantee it won't happen with Arrowhead and Helldivers. They already have a woke community manager of their own
Its not about the pulse of community, its about whatever will get you that ESG money, that Black Rock and Co's was handing out like free condomes during drugs, now they are addicted, people are going outside, cost of everything is increasing, people are constantly aging out of the hobbies, and kids are addicted to cell phones without much time for anything else their parents/schools haven't preprogrammed into their day.
The moment any company gatekeeps against these people is thr moment thry run to thr courts and scream discrimination.
They want to ruin all table RPGs we must stop them at all cost
As a person who has experienced this first-hand, I will explain how these things actually happen:
___
First off, the majority of Marxists are feminists. Marxism is a popular left-wing ideology and over 70% of women identify as leftists.
What happens is as follows:
A product either becomes popular, receives a fair degree of marketing or the company hires a consulting firm for the purposes of marketing a product to a particular demographic.
At some point, the company (who is almost always ignorant of culture-war and wokeness) sets out to make the product "inclusive" to maximize sales.
These "consultants" are brought in to review the product and recommend changes as needed.
Because the aim is "diversity" and "Inclusivity", *these consultants are almost 100% of the time (black) women or gay men/trans-women,* as they are now considered the face of "diversity, equity and inclusion" *(DEI).*
These groups recommend politically-motivated changes, as well as hiring other activist organizations, greatly expanding the development of said product.
The company or investors are told (routinely) that, *while there will be some criticisms of these changes,* the product will largely be successful. These investors/companies; *who do not know their fanbase or are afraid of social backlash* agree to the changes.
The product either tanks with its intended market or does not meet sales expectations, and these activist groups quickly take to social media to do damage control while having internal discussions about next steps.
They are then either quietly fired, resign (after they are paid for their "services") or kept on for future releases until another situation leads to the previously mentioned scenario.
___
I have seen this happen (twice) in real-time, I was in a company when this happened.
Also, when these activists leave companies/projects, they rebrand or join other companies and will outright lie on resumes and things like that.
They will also outright lie to gain control of the direction of development.
___
*EDIT:*
There is a solution to this and it's not "leave", running away is not a solution.
The solution is to "fight back", something gamers do not do.
The reason that this is happening is because gamers (as a collective) do not fight for shit.
They complain or run away and expect that to fix the issue.
These activists *FIGHT* for what they want and you normies *DO NOTHING* about it, some of you even support it.
For example, *ALL* of you supported JKR and Hogwarts because you incorrectly thought she was some anti-woke freedom fighter. JKR is a man-hating feminist, who hates the trans community because they infringe on women's rights.
*JKR took the money that you MEN gave her and poured it into feminist companies and groups like Sweet Baby Inc.*
These corporations will not fight these activists if they don't see a reason to.
Until *YOU* gamers fight for what you want, this will not stop or change.
It's like a modern day Mao's Great Leap Forward where every single hobby big and small gets co opted and infiltrated and subverted by communists until there's nowhere to turn to to escape it.
They even did it with the SCP community, for crying out loud.

Grummz was the ally we needed back 10 years ago when this whole thing first started.
Happy that he is speaking up now, but I went through absolute hell after getting my Games/IT Degree just to get a job interview for a Quality Assurance position in a Games Company that does existing Game Ports onto other platforms.
I failed to get the position in 2017 but saw on a private FB-group in 2018 that these people in Games Industry are activists.
A good thing about Model trains is that it is fairly hard to infiltrate. Same goes for most minaturism such as war diorama or others that does not stop at ready made models and does not have a monopoly dictating how the hobby is enjoyed ( cough Warhammer 40 K ), because it requires you to put a large amount of time and skill into something apolitical in order to have anything that gives you a platform in the community. Delayed gratification hobbies and masculine hobbies also lacks an appeal to these people.
So you are telling me there will be no TRANs representation there? Just you wait...
They don't want anything that requires merit and/or effort
Most anything skill based is a barrier to entry for these people which is why they nerf everything in their wake essentially ruining it.
Back in 2016 I thought the same thing, fast forward to 2024 I was proven wrong.
Give it time. Tangentially related, but even the Talyllyn Railway just put out a promo video highlighting how queer friendly they are to try and phish for financing.
"First they came for the D&D community, and I did not speak up because I was not a D&D fan, then they came for the Battletech community, and I did not speak up because I was not a Battletech fan, then they came for the Warhammer 40k community, and I did not speak up because I was not a "true" Warhammer fan.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
(Inspired by Martin Niemöller's quote)
This video was posted to the "Battletech community" facebook page, and it had an effect.
Well then its time to take them all back, take back EVERY community.
how are you going to do that from your bedroom? cry about it on 4chan? 😭 😭
It's sad to see that most people are willing to help these wannabe tyrants. The problem is not just one person.
I'm not sure there's anything that can be done unless most of the fans agree and boycott. If you're a tabletop 40k player, just refuse to play against a femstodes, for instance. But again that requires that you are the majority.
If you're a 40k player... Just stop.
It doesn't always have to be a boycott
The best way to stop people pirating is offering a good product & caring for fans so fans want to get official merch
But now? Why shouldn't people 3d print & find rules online cutting GW out of their own revenue
It would be interesting to compare how many custodies players pirate the new codex compared to those that bought it
That will be very hard as you know GW will buff femstodes harder than they already are and meta try hards will eat that slop up regardless.
Just 3d print and pirate books. Avoid new rule books, stick to the old. Reject their changes and never again give them any money.
Stop it.
Always assume malice. They are your enemies. Treat them accordingly. Tolerate them not for a second.
What I'm seeing clearly is the recruitment/networking angle now. It jumped out at me during the Game Designers Workshop when they had their little "scream-in". Yeah it looks ridiculous, but if you want to show your part of the crowd, there ya go. Just saw an email to join a group meeting IRL this Friday for a moment of silence to "call attention to bullying of LGBT+". Pretty specific, just the bullying of those people. Come genuflect at the altar.
See the bigger mistake was the damn reddit making changes to get "access" to exclusives from the company. Fuck that, that's a devil's bargain no matter what and it always backfires when you take from any company, If it was bad for 4chan, it's going to be bad for any fan site to do that.

Both Warhammer and battle tech are going to or have already lost a lot of revenue due to people 3D printing their models. They are just trying to squeeze the last bit of ESG money from their IPs.

We must encourage companies to embrace wokeness like never before so they can lose money that much faster when nobody buys or consumes their garbage. Financial assaults are the only language these out of touch companies know, they clearly aren't listening to the real and paying customers.
We have to ask ourselves this question. Despite being extremely unpopular and generally financially bad, why is it that companies and entertainment keep hiring these people and adopting these policies and politics? It's because these people for 1: have control of the education system, meaning they have a large influence on the people who will go to work in these companies, 2nd: they have the backing of massive investment funds that promote them in order to get their political projects implemented, 3rd: these people are true believers in the ideology. Its essentially a religion to them and will follow it even if it burns the company down. And 4th: they have the backing of anti-discrimination laws that make any gatekeeping against them basically illegal. To fix these issues, we must first fix academia and law.

To be honest, the Catalyst Battletech forums have always been a place for nepotism and toxicity, particularly from the moderators.
You show them wjere you've been harassed in a screenshot, and if it's someone on their friends list, or if they agreed with the perpetrator, they'd let it ride and ban the victim.
I left after a row with their upper echelon, even after Weisman himself got involved to try and calm things down. I appreciate his efforts, but he needed to get rid of that toxic bunch, they were terrible and Im more than sure they're the same bunch allowing this current era politics in to ruin the game.
They have the backing of anti-discrimination laws.

I was the lead moderator for the facebook Space Opera group for years, taking it from around 2k up to around 20k by the time I turned the reigns over to the other mods. We had a very strict no politics rule, excepting only the politics discussed within the work itself. No real-world contemporary politics. One warning, then banned. When we did ban someone, there was a post describing the orbital strike that took them out :) Some of those were pretty funny too. Regardless, it was effective and kept the group as apolitical as possible. I bowed out in 2018 as I'd taken a job that didn't give me as much slack time as previously AND, honestly, I could see just how devisive Star Trek Discovery was going to be. I didn't realize that was the least of our worries at the time :)

IIRC we had the same thing at the student club at uni. Marxism-Leninism, pronoun wars (transing didn't exist yet), anti-fascism, occupy empty buildings, and boycott actions against the MIC came slowly, then ever faster until it became unlivable and a second club had to be created. Not that there is anything wrong with sticking it to the (now) MICIMATT complex.
Surely there must be other ways. Leaving is not enough we need to start our own fan forums with strict anti-woke rules.
This shit is everywhere! E V E R Y W H E R E !!!
Same way country's fall. Let women in
My favourite Marxist takeover was that of the Italians on the Western during the 60s
bro, that's a ma'am!
I can almost see the nose on that thing
Oyy veeyyy
community managers are when Karens become the manager.
Also, they might try to take W40K, but thanks to fan works, we can avoid these clowns retooling of the franchise and do our own stuff. Good luck trying to patch a written book on paper or model kits that we already own.
The main game I play will never be taken over by these freaks. They wouldn't last an hour in Rust, given how we treat each other in the game.
Get rid of anti-discrimination laws.
So glad I found this channel
Also to note. Bricky being of the biggest 40k channels defedned these idiotic retcons to 40k, even doubling down on it with the same arguments GW and the rest of these fake fans are stating. Which is to why i recommend unsubbing from him.
i'm glad somebody final fricking ly talked about the digital marketers.
How evil
Don't ask men about their salary
Don't ask women about their age
Don't ask Grummz about their involvement in tanking Firefall xD
The issue is why are these companies hiring someone who doesn't even play or like their game to be their 'community manager'... that's where it starts.
voting with my wallet isn't working. we need something more drastic.
Do you remember when a comunity manager killed mighty no 9 ?
💯
I think it's not just a matter of recognizing and not supporting these insidious takeovers, but building and gatekeep alternatives of what they did take over.
Because they have been rather smart about what they took over, choosing targets that would cause great inconvenience if avoided.
Sarna aka the most popular battletech wiki is also following the steps of this community manager. I've been avoiding that site but looking up anything battletech is quite troublesome.
Same with Nexus mod, I've been avoiding it but it means getting any mod requires word of mouth and tracking down the modder's site/git if it even exists outside of Nexus.
More like fascists taking over hobbies.
It's Weimar, not the Reichstag.
Fascism is the antidote to Marxism.
Fascist and leftist ideologies bloom from the same seed so it's easy to understand why you think it's fascist.
Check out the novel "Fallen off the Bifrost" on kindle. It is written by Jay Barrell, the same guy who is writing the based-as-FUK alt-d20 game "The Harrowed Earth" from *DaemonEye Publishing* and takes place in the same game world.
It is the total OPPOSITE of this woke crud 😂
Now that you're making a game of your own you probably understand the value of having a personal and direct line to your customers. As soon as some filter gets in between the two is when issues start to arise. Not to mention that subversive types will always target any such filter positions. Considering it's now easier than ever I'd say that every creator should do exactly this: Have a direct line of communication with their customers. No managers, PR, journalists, etc. Bypass all filters and only use unmoderated (as much as such a thing is possible) platforms. Which is another issue as well, the subversives will also target moderator positions in order to shape what appears to be the popular narrative.
9:00 Damn, the Marxists got him
These types have been targeting people like Grummz hard lately because they have been exposing them. Secrecy is their weapon.
whats the discord of these community managers? Game Journos Pro 2?
