I was surprised to see the WotC label as Sweet Baby Inc.'s client. I guess that explains why D&D content has been sucking sphincter for sales. I'm hypothesizing that this company supplied the censors that read WotC content three times and come up with more new "racisms" to censor creator content and to make WotC's content pablum. The dumbest thing you can do to content is to make it boring. And with sensitivity readers they only get paid by making content boring and they have to find new things to censor to justify their pay. It's a purity spiral of bad sales.
Sweet Baby Inc isn't the core of the problem. The blame for anything usually lies on the one top executive who makes the in-house decisions.
Just don't make your product a veiled lecture on how to think in the real world.

There is active campaigns against Sweet Baby Inc and the censorship and weird ideas they bring. By highlighting WotC's use of them, it can be brought up to the board of Hasbro about decisions being made by D&D executives and call them into question. The 5.5E release and banning of books to prevent earlier edition of play from being possible on VTT's is a problem.
I think the connection to Sweet Baby Inc proper is through the Dark Alliance video game, but that's probably just the tip of the iceberg--WotC has had a lot of diversity consultants over the years.
(On a somewhat related note, I just found out this morning that Baldur's Gate III introduced a devil named Raphael into the mythology of the Forgotten Realms. Using the name of one of the three canonically named archangels for a devil is rather tone-deaf and mildly offensive, IMO.)

You may not be aware of the DEI/cultural offense code of conduct but insensitivity towards Christians, whites, and anything related to western culture is actively encouraged by the wokesters.

Oh, I'm well aware of it. I'm just not used to it being quite so blatant, and I like to point it out to maybe shake some of their "We're good and sensitive people, really!" dupes out of their slumber. :)

Christians are punching up, so its ok. Leftards would look you square in the eye as they put you in yolks marching you to the firing line and tell you its ok because you are white. Leftards = Communists and their purges. Whenever you hear a jackass talk about "white privilege" they are using the same excuses to send the "privilege" classes of Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba to their deaths in work camps.
There's a video circulating where the co-founder of Sweet Baby Inc lays out their strategy. She tells the woke employees of video game companies to go to the marketing department and "terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen" if they don't hire a diversity consultant.
Even though the fault really lies with the top Hasbro and WotC executives, this strategy of going after the diversity grifters is a smart one. Find out who these companies are, look at their employee's Twitter, and report on all the racist things these people say. Because they ALWAYS say racists crap on Twitter.
Then bring this to the attention of the companies that hire them. That's the only way this will stop is by making corporations more afraid of using these diversity consultants than they are afraid of not using them.

How many more game studios do we need to shut down by not buying their products? It's looking like we need EA to go bankrupt to get the message through. Target got the message and backpaddled. Anheuser got the message too late, is refusing to put out titty ads again and is watching its bud light brand become the gay beer with a 5% market compared to having 100% of the market before. I mean who wants to be caught drinking the gender fluid now? I think the best way to resolve this is to create block lists, follow them and run companies into the ground financially. Leftards don't work and don't have spend, normies do have spend. If WotC changed its behavior it could be harvesting all the Gen Xer's but instead its pissed us all off by stating they want whites gone.

One of the other Sweet Baby employees was trying to defend what they did. And "they" asked, since all AAA companies use these services "What are you going to do? Stop buying games?" As if that was an impossible outcome.
This is what I've been saying for a long time now. Their plan was never to give consumers a choice, but make every game exactly the same so that gamers (or customers of any product) have no choice but to buy a woke product.

All of them. Why not? We don't *need* them. We don't need any of them. What we don't already have, we can make on our own.

That is the correct response.

That strategy won't work. There is more great non-woke media already out than I have time to consume in my lifetime, rpgs, video games, movies, music, books, whatever. If all of the new stuff is crap, then I'll just go with the old stuff I haven't done yet.
Amazing. So how much money did WotC give these stalinists?

No. WotC has been woke since possibly the late 90s early 00s. Its just it did not come to the fore till the current wave of the woke cycle kicked in, again, round 2010. And there was hints of the growing surge in WotC around the start of 5e's release. Well before Sweet Baby was ever a factor.
We are at a point; where anyone who doesn't already know where they stand, needs to hurry up and figure it out. I refuse to be called or labeled an oppressor, in print or audio. That trash talk will be rejected and opposed. I can spend my money elsewhere, or I can write my own, or I can just use what I already have. And even if the original works become unavailable; there's the OSR. The cat is out of the proverbial bag, now.

Well all of the original works are quite available and are not monetizable by WotC. Why give WotC money to buy older content digitally when they tell you its racist. Stupidest thing WotC did was to label content made by their betters as racist trash and the stupidest thing WotC continues to do is let its whore employees spread their leftard filth as advertising, its really malvertising. If Hasbro was worth studying, I wonder how much WotC has lost to piracy, probably enough to where they could have kept at least 100 head count a year easily.

Not just piracy. Of course, the stupid normies, after the OGL fiasco, just moved to other woketard companies like Paizo and Monte Cook Publishing. Thank God for the OSR and thank God for
TSR v Mayfair....
i'm more horrified by the seeming incredible reach this company seems to have exerted. And the damage they have done. They have certainly ruined a lot of games that I followed.

Yes! The idea that they are trying not to offend is ridiculous. They have no problem offending white people, Christians or many others. They in fact, actively try to do so.
They are Jacobins pushing their cultural revolution and nothing more.

I've heard them called the successful Feminist Frequency. They certainly flew under my radar. I never heard about them until a week or so ago.

TLDR: Just watch the full McIntosh video if you don't give a damn, greatest and catchiest troll video ever, we need to do something like that for Kyle Brink seriously. If someone has the talent, please do it to keep Kyle in the news and the pressure on Hasbro to do something.
Well if you watch fat Hangry Shoe, you can listen to him stand for Anita, I mean hard core, he wanted a piece of those hoop rings, maybe to use it as a funnel holder to shove lard down his fat ass. She put on a presentation that was taped where she said she wasn't a gamer and that she was going to go after video games for feminism. Really amazing white knighting seeing the old video. It would be like someone transitioning therpgpundit, putting him on X and an orchiotomy and having the pundit telling people to leave Perkins alone. Yeah it did a number on his subscriber base.
Hangry Joe knew that, saw it and stills supported the cunt. Oh there is a whole slew of lore on her. Gamers we hated the cunt because she was the first one to fuck up game studios, she contributed greatly to Biowares downfall. She used a dude she was fucking McIntosh to play the games and write the shit and she'd present. That was when Hangry Joe was about tree fifty lighter.
Don't go full McIntosh...
She ran a number of successful kickstarters and delivered less than half of what she promised but suckers kept giving her money. I guess McIntoss decided he wanted his pussy without a side of yeast and left Feminist Frequency and they collapsed thereafter. Anita tried to grift on her own, but not being a gamer she's tarded it. She went after a Doom release AND that finally got gamers including her stans like Hangry Joe to stop supporting her and she shriveled up to a channel with less than 5K views a video and she had to fire almost all of her staff.
Essentially video games came before RPG's for the amount of penetration and destruction of staff. Gamergate was the appropriate response and it did take her out, but the culture still went ahead. However game companies did eventually learn. And its helped with the blocklist on Sweet Baby Inc for instance getting built. There is a cultural antibody in gaming against these faggots. The tripple A game studios ignores low sales and we watch their studios shut down. It hasn't happened to WotC yet, but it's coming.
