Microsoft Wants to Make Xbox Safe for Gamers Who Aren’t White Men
Yahoo Finance ^

Posted on 06/13/2016 2:33:44 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

In March, a team of Xbox managers held a roundtable lunch with a dozen lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender gamers. During the session, held on the sidelines of the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, the Xbox team heard why Microsoft’s online gaming platform could be a hostile place for people who aren’t heterosexual, white, and male.

Just 12 hours later, Xbox hosted a party during the same conference. To the team’s horror, company organizers had hired women dressed as school girls to dance and socialize with the mostly male crowd—a choice that undercut the company’s outreach to women and seemed to signal a return to the bad old days of “booth babes” and caveman marketing.

Everyone is so needy and helpless except white males.

Looking at the state of the world, and the media narrative of biblical PC, I think it’s obvious that the devil’s minions have an issue with White Males.

Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Fedgov, seem to just be hellbent on stigmatizing Whitey.

Best guess is that there are executives with shares in those companies that want to sell their shares in those respective companies and are using Microsoft as a means to maximize their share value before they get out.

I’m sure they’d write their own games. The problem is that 3, maybe 4 people will buy then. As a result, they have to force their trash into legit software and call you names if you don’t like it.

I found the comment “caveman marketing” in this editorial hilarious. If I were in charge of Microsoft, the next expansion for Halo would take place on a futuristic cavegirl planet where the smallest cup size is C. I’d license the jiggly physics from that Dead or Alive volleyball game that the SJWs loathe. Sure those physics are useless in a first person shooter, but so are the various rants from these self righteous freaks.

Marketing booths at shows would have no less than 2 very attractive, voluptuous women (real ones, not those in-trans or self mutilated former male kind) decked out in cavegirl garb ... garb that would blow away the garb worn by Rachel Welsh. Any replies to criticism would be met with the reply, “Shut up and iron my shirt, bitch!”.

See, they’ll never stop. They’ll always make these things an issue. Why not give them what they want (more fuel for their fire) and what customers want, make a killing, and make them look like asses at the same time.

Hey, I got an idea for a game that has minorities and homosexuals in it. It’s a first-person shooter game that takes place in a bar.......

Too soon?

Just curious... it is a gaming console... why should it need to be made safer for non-white males? Are all non-white males morons? How is one unsafe behind a screen in their own home with an identity created out of electronic cloth?

Totally missing something here...

Apparently they do.. they always lower standards for minorities and treat them like morons who can’t achieve anything in life on their own.
