@themarcv Look I don't mind if someone wants to help out some people, but you have to remember you can only go so far before it just looks like your pandering and making it looking the people are charity cases and basically telling them they weren't smart enough to figure it out for themself. I have a question. Why does one group get praised if they make a game or movie about historical white people but Change them to other, but if they did the reverse they get called bad things and say White Washing. To me they are Both Bad. This also reminds me like when upper management at NBA is saying speak your mind about some cause or crap, but oh don't say anything bad about China Government.
Oh ok Jack did that for twitter get ready to see the stock go down some points, and might get reversed later down the line. Let's see how long this last.

@acidtrip-69 I know I've never really got the negativity around the whole Woke thing, always seems like being 'Woke' was really just being open minded and more empathetic. Like I'm totally down for a larger variety in characters in media showing more woman and minorities. As long as the actor can really embody that character I don't really care what gender/race they are. Vice verse if they cast someone that doesn't embody the character it's just bad casting or writing or any number of other things that could cause something to be bad. I know there's a lot of push back on this stuff but it just doesn't bother me.

You may not see as anything bad, but that's just the surface. I can see some problems with it. Heck I might even say it's a bit racist. I'll tell you why.

• to me it seems are you doing is looking at someone's race or their sexual orientation.

• you are not just evaluating someone on skills. You are judging someone on something they can't control.

To me it gives off the vibe of " Oh I feel so bad that I'm so much better than you, so let me HELP you out." I may be the only here that thinks and feels that way, but I do know I'm not alone out in world that thinks that way.

@dipset What I don't like about this and don't get how the Unions don't understand that how and what they choose to write about is very off putting to many readers and will make them loose many readers. Theses websites are all ready BLEEDING readers and views, but some how theses unions still DEMAND more money not understanding that there isn't enough money cuz they ran the website to the ground. And yes some here may not like the saying Go Woke Go Broke, but sometimes it does apply to somethings. But it won't matter if theses companies are in CA, cuz the NEW law on free writers a lot of people are going to get fired or the company will move out of state.

@dipset let's say if I wanted to read about the NEW 2020 Shelby GT 500 so I go to Motor Trend but when I go to the website and all I see is Political things. Guess what I'm going to leave, so I go to Car and Driver website but the same story happens. So I go to Road and Track and they just stick to Car news. Guess what website I'm going to use for car news?Just for example. The same for gaming news, tech and science news.

In simplest terms... yes you can fire people when they suck. That isn't what is happening here. Also going back to the sports analogy that you made; if you buy a sports teams and a player sucks so you release them, you still very likely owe them "guaranteed money" which is often in the millions. That goes without even mentioning that there is the NFLPA, etc

If things were as simple as you make them out to be, we wouldn't have very many workplace conflicts would we? Teachers want more money - fire them! Pilots want to unionize - fire them!

Or you can spend 10 minutes to analyze a situation and attempt to understand it better.

I would be glad to have lawyer's make a deal for both party's to be happy to let go of the bad player if it means I can hire a great new player with better potential.

@dipset Lolz. The new owners didn't do anything wrong. If he didn't want to stick to what the NEW owners wanted for the SPORTS website you are going to get FIRED. AND if the rest of the union writers don't get it well as a owner will see it's better to fire them ALL then have to deal with unreasonable people.
