There it is, the woke tokenism last boss

"With this innovative new system, the character design process now has a tangible way of avoiding tokenism, stereotypes, and exclusion"
They literally developed a "diversity" tool
"the team at King spent the last few years honing and developing it, mostly as a volunteer effort. People were spending their off-hours working on the tool, simply because they believed in its potential so much."
“The intention is to inspire game teams not just at King, but throughout the Activision Blizzard King network, to think outside the box and challenge pre-conceived notions around how characters should look and act. As a result, hopefully we will create more characters that break the mold, and better represent women, non-binaries and other under-represented minorities in the industry.”
There it is, the ultimate by the numbers diversity abomination, just like the memes made it out to be, but even worse. This is not just a figurative to literal checklist, this is the diversity piecharts. An absolute fucking abomination, one that in its "supposed" goal to not tokenize character, manage to tokenize it as much as ever
I once described people who goes on about this shit as undesirable dick wagglers that signals to other dick wagglers, annoying self-masturbator high on their cum, but this is such an insane thing that has exceeded all possible meme potential that we have reached the "Hospital visit for a Garfield toy in a lubed condom stuck too high in the colon"

@coolboymew this is, unironically, kinda interesting - particularly if it was used to reflect/analyse the demographics of a culture
I remember reading an article about how some social scientists had analysed the relationships in the Norse Sagas and shown that the structure was what you would expect to see from a genuine community of people. they concluded that it suggested the sagas were more than a little based on real people
pretty cool
