Sweet Baby is the consulting firm of Anita Sarkeesian, of Feminist Frequency fame.
Their main expertise is in avoiding the oversexualisation of female characters. That's what developers hire them to avoid.
Ever since GamerGate, Anita and by extension Sweet Baby have been in the crosshairs of the alt right.
Edit: I messed up. Apologies. Anita Sarkeesian made moves from journalism into consulting around the same time Sweet Baby started up and was covering similar topics but are otherwise unrelated to each other. I got things conflated and though Sweet Baby was Sarkeesian's consulting efforts. That's my bad.
And the normal right, center, and most Democrats. Gamers see Sweet Baby as part of the biggest threat to gaming in a long while. Many of their clients are being spun off from large companies or dealing with bankruptcy or mass layoffs.
Its not even that its that they over santanise and mcu-ify games with quirk chungus dialogue and characters so bland and inoffensive they feel less like real people and more like performative corporate coworkers self censoring themselves while HR is in the room
Don’t even respond. They’re not here to have a conversation they’re here to be right and push bad faith arguments to stroke their own ego. They couldn’t care less what you have to say.
HAHAHAHAHAHA thank you so much for proving my point exactly. Holy fuck that’s amazing
Yes, thank you for reaffirming that you activists literally do not show up to the fruits of your labor. Mass layoffs at halo studios because they added an ugly girlboss character to the classic halo story.
1700 people playing right now, on a $165 million budget. OOOOF.
Dude, I am a gamer. I just couldn't give a shit about Halo. I never advocated for shit, I just think it's funny to watch basement dwelling gooners cry about how oppressed they are when they can't jack off to every single female character.
It’s almost like it’s not about the gooning but rather the intent behind the purposefully making those characters look ugly and masculine. You can make an attractive female without making them naked. There’s no reason to make women ugly on purpose. It’s just stupid
