| 2 months ago | mod | Removed Comment At least they get a trial... In the US "officer involved deaths" are the preferred method of state execution.
The best estimates I'm seeing are from https://worldcoalition.org/pays/china/. They are almost certainly inflated, but the last official count was back in 2009 by amnesty international which counted 1718 instances. (Compared to world coalition's estimate of 8000 for the same year.) that puts the per capita death rate at ~1-3 per million. [Police/extrajudicial killings in China are almost unheard of.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_China)
[Police killings alone](https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/) **([which it should be noted are also statistics which are also not publicly available](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States#cite_note-14))** were estimated to be ~1300 last year putting the *lower bound* per capita death rate at 4 per million. Capital punishment in the US is about as unheard of as extrajudicial killings.
Comparing "apples to apples" the US kills ~400% more of its citizens annually, but neither government is overly transparent about it. by @SinAdjetivos@beehaw.org reason: y'all this isn't politics |

| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment "which credibly and comprehensively lays out a history of sexism". There was nothing credible about this.
The wukong sexism allegations were all made up or based on severly mistranslated Chinese statements, and they magically appeared after the company behind wukong had refused to pay SBI a 7m dollar extortion fee. by @parpol@programming.dev reason: gamergater shit is not nice |
| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment And I'm sure you have at least one example. After all, there are a lot of rapists out there too, but we aren't going to accuse anyone until we have some evidence. by @parpol@programming.dev reason: gamergater shit is not nice |
| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Are these death threats in the room with us right now? by @parpol@programming.dev reason: gamergater shit is not nice |
| 5 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Almost every statement in this article is a complete lie, from the targeted harrasments to the sexism allegations and racism. Even the Hades 2 statements are completely out of context to misrepresent the problem.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Sweet baby Ink known to extort and threaten to push their agendas into videogames, (there is a video of the CEO Kim Belair explaining how she uses threats if game companies refuse to listen to her advice) was never targeted by harassment. A steam group was made that lists all games they've been involved with. (SBI already does the same on their own website). Never did anyone in this steam group go out of their way to harass anyone involved with the company. It is just a group of people who don't like this company and want to avoid buying games that they are involved with.
Then suddenly one of SBI employees started a harassment campaing against the steam group owner, and tried to get him banned from steam altogether despite no wrongdoing. He never retaliated, and instead just defended his own points.
In comes the game journalist allyssa Merchante who has historically made bigoted statements such as "you can't be racist against white people" and starts spreading lies of a harassment campaign against SBI. People call her out, and now suddenly she's a victim of harassment despite she being the one contacting people's workplaces to get them fired, or phonecalling their partners in an attempt to shame.
The controversy around Hades 2 is not around square jaws, but rather, linked to the smear campaign gaming journalists have had against stellar blade, citing sexism. People were upset that gaming journalists were being hypocritical with titles like "Hades 2 Gods somehow hotter than Hades gods" while they also criticized Stellar Blade for its sexy main character claiming it appeals to white males and that it is problematic.
Ubisoft being in bed with SBI is also not a lie, as SBI officially lists Ubisoft as their customers. The new assassins creed game is another example of these same journalists spreading misinformation.
Being a retainer does not automatically make you a samurai, and playing African-American hiphop music when playing as an African is incredibly stereotypical and innacurate since Africans and African-Americans aren't the same thing. Game journalists claim white people are just upset about there being a black character in the game (with no evidence). The game is disrespectful towards japanese, but to game journalists that doesn't matter because they're "white adjacent".
The controversy around Wukong is entirely fabricated. The developers of Wukong were being extorted by SBI for 7m USD for advice they didn't ask for, and when they refused, suddenly gaming journalist started digging around, and found past statements they claim are sexists. However, as it turns out, these statements were in fact mistranslated statements, and the original Chinese statements weren't even remotely sexist. Of course once people started pointing this out, once again "look at the harassment campaign against us journalists" started again.
These articles always are quick to spin the narrative and paint journalists as innocent, but every.single.controversy. was retaliation against misinformation and harassment campaigns by game journalists and DEI companies. Never was it "a bunch of sexist and racist white people being upset about diversity in videogames".
But of course the author of this article wouldn't tell you that she and many of her peers like, liked and retweeted all the false statements I'm bringing up here, or that she follows SBI.
