the joke sucks but it feels way more likely they're just ludicrously out of touch tonedeaf 47 year olds like most aaa video game writers. why the hell is doom trying to do political commentary anyway. it's doom.

babypolis posted:id like someone to show me a single loving example of a corporation talking about refugees and melting pots I work for the government and that's totally the language that's used. Every month there's some reflective email on diversity and how the federal government employs people and foreign nationals from all around the world including asylum seekers (granted the number of these emails took a sharp decline around February 2017). The irony of course being a lot of these foreign nations the government regularly recruits from (Vietnam, Korea, Pakistan) have a history of being crushed by Imperial powers. I don't really know where this conversation is headed but the important thing about the UAC is that they acknowledge demons exist and are the inevitable result of solving earth's energy crisis. Doom 2016 from the very beginning shows that their entire corporate structure and corporate facing was built around dealing with hell. The message here isn't a jab at social justice, it's a corporation saying "keep calm and carry on" because energy is more important than flesh eating demons.

The message here isn't a jab at social justice, it's a corporation saying "keep calm and carry on" because energy is more important than flesh eating demons. quote:"Should you find yourself caught in a level 3 demon contamination event, it is important that you remain calm. A Tier 3 advocate wouldn't panic, and neither should you. [...] Shut down any volatile equipment you may be using. Should you be unable to escape from the demons, it is important that you don't leave that plasma cutter running where it could damage an important piece of machinery. [...] If there is no obvious escape route and you have powered down your equipment, give yourself over to the demon willingly. Studies have shown that infuriating a demon by running away can cause additional frustration in the predator, and that may result in your body being too badly mutilated for useful post mortem study. Simply kneel down, close your eyes, and wait. Remember you can be as useful in death as you are in life."

yeah clearly there's text satirizing corporations in the game, but the "mortally challenged" thing is like very close to a "did you just assume my gender" kind of thing that not-very-funny reactionaries have been doing. it's just a misstep, and probably written by an oldass dude who isn't aware of the moment like someone else said
