In that case show me an example of SBI spreading hatred and discrimination against white (caucasian) hetero males, seeing as they're so Woke and all.
Open YT write sweet baby inc and you get tons of videos giving you some examples. But in case you are that lazy, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4p_O9dSJHw
The first half of the video is about context-less tweets that a consultant for the company made a decade ago, and the second half is about how they don't like how some things were phrased at a GDC talk. The guy in the video also talks a lot about Sweet Baby Inc supposedly wanting to exclude straight, white, male characters, but one of the anecdotes they play from the GDC conference was about how some game studio had made a cast of all straight, white men and were thinking of diversifying by making one of those characters very stereotypically french, and so SBI consultant tried to get a little more diversity out of them by also making that character black.
I'm not seeing a lot of hatred or discrimination against white people, or men, or heterosexuals in this video you linked.
But there is the end segment, in the last 3 minutes or so, where he doesn't understand that there's a difference between being a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consulting firm, and a narrative/writing consulting firm that helps promote diversity and inclusion, so that's fun. He also ends the video by saying that the consultant with the bad tweets from a decade ago is one of the company's leaders.
All in all, not a lot of evidence that Sweet Baby Inc is doing anything wrong, really.
Oh no! They had a cast of 12 straight white men, considered making it 12 straight white men with one who might not be American and in the end its 11 straight white men and one who is not white! Wont someone please think of the poor white children!
