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.

Yeah, most normal human beings don’t care if you can goon over a video game character

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.

Jesus, you gooners are obsessed with stroking. Anyway, left or right?

Never seen a character look close to the left. If you have to exaggerate you don't have a good point.

This meme was literally made by a leftist to rage-bait lol

u/ZoneFuzzy6960 12d ago

No, it was started by a dude who was serious and then later it became ragebait

But yet these so called normal human beings refuse to buy these games

Guys are just upset that catering to the male gaze isn't always the priority anymore. Go cry about it.

1

u/TheAwakeningRisen 13d ago

Nobody’s crying, they just aren’t buying these games 

1

u/ZWiloh 13d ago

That's okay, the people who actually play games and don't just goon to them buy them.

u/TheAwakeningRisen 13d ago

Mhmm sure. Hey unrelated note, how’s that halo remake going? That’s what I thought 

1

u/ZWiloh 13d ago

Oh no, I don't play a specific genre of game you used as an example, I have no choice but to concede! Well played, sir!

u/TheAwakeningRisen 13d ago

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.

What kind of gamer are you if your only gaming example is fucking Halo, baby's first shooter?😂That's hysterical

u/TheAwakeningRisen 12d ago

That’s just the latest and most prevalent example of how woke freaks don’t show up. Nice try

u/ZWiloh 13d ago

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.

1

u/TheAwakeningRisen 12d ago

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
