So, an art directer for Obsidian's upcoming video game Avowed apparently clowned on Elon Musk and offered Black artists some help, and now the usual chuds are screeching once again about "go woke go broke" and "down with DEI" and whatever other typically asinine horseshit that they like to shriek about.
Since I don't have either Twitter-I-mean-卐-I-mean-X or Bluesky, this rancid piece of shit was the first and closest thing to a "source" that I could find on Google that, apparently, even sort of showed what the guy actually said, rather than just being a link full of chuds on Reddit or Youtube or whatever bawwing about it, and that "source" is also laughably framing it as bad that he said such things. If I could have found a non-shitty, non-obviously-Gamergate-related source in the two or three minutes I spent searching Google, I absolutely would have, but apparently no source with an ounce of actual credibility has yet to bother touching this "story" with a ten foot pole.
Speaking as a white guy, I love this shit. More power to that Matt Hansen dude, and to hell with the chuds. Clown harder on Elon Musk and the knuckledraggers who stan him, Matt Hansen. It's great. Keep it up. And hey, Obsidian, don't fire the guy over this, because the only purpose that would serve would be to try (and fail) to placate chuds, who are notoriously impossible to placate (and, moreover, don't deserve to be placated to begin with).
I was vaguely interest in Avowed before, and I'm still only vaguely interested in Avowed now, but this makes me the slightest bit more interested in it. I'll still be waiting for a sale at some point, though, as usual, if I end up getting it at all.
