Microsoft unveiled more than just the future of identity-proofing when its presenters opened the Microsoft Into Focus: Security video presentation with arbitrary statements about their appearance and identity.

The future once looked like chrome buildings and flying cars. Now it's Big Tech megacorporations with cringeworthy PC politics. Microsoft tweeted out video footage of a massive presentation in front of a virtual audience inviting consumers to “Gain insights on how to react to security threats and prepare for the next frontier in identity proofing.” Gender and racial identity appeared to take center stage first, however. After introducing herself by name, Product Marketing Manager Natalia Godyla explained “I’m a Caucasian woman with long blond hair, and I go by she/her,” only then explaining her position at Microsoft. Co-host of Security Unlocked podcast for Microsoft Nic Fillingham followed suit, alerting the audience that he is “a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard. I go by he/him, and I’m a security evangelist here at Microsoft.”

Announcing appearance and race as an introduction to their respective appearance during the video presentation did not appear to be a fluke. Rather, it appeared to be a policy held by Microsoft, as even those following Godyla and Fillingham introduced themselves in a similar fashion.

Howdy,
My name is Dilly Whatnot. I’m a 6’4”, 250 lb., bowlegged, gut busting cow-humper from Pocatello, Idaho. My preferred pronouns are YIGHWAS, LSMFT, and OK. I shave five days a week a week. I like apple pie with licorice ice cream. My sexual proclivities tend toward steers n’ queers. I wear a silver Prince Albert made from an old Mexican 8 Reale piece. I take it off if it bothers ya. By the way, what is a security evangelist?

I was on a Zoom job training recently and the instructor asked us to put our pronouns next to our names on Zoom. I refused, but most complied. The next session nobody did it and the instructor did not insist on it. I’m guessing it was a directive from on high and she didn’t particularly care about it one way or another. The instructor was a black woman, by the way, supposedly one of the Rats’ most loyal constituencies. I take that as a good sign.

... By the way, what is a security evangelist? ...

Is that someone who walks around yelling:

"WEAR A MASK! WEAR A MASK!" at everybody?
