9,000 women have just been given the green light to sue Disney for unfair pay practises, sexual discrimination.

This comes from the most woke company imaginable, who turned classics like Star Wars and ghostbusters into feminist pornography.

“ It appears Disney has grouped dissimilar jobs into the same group(s) and then seeks to hide behind that to avoid accountability for potential systemic pay discrimination”

Not only was there pay discrimination, the suit alleges, but also Disney were seeking to hide this practise of pay discrimination.

I think the whole thing is a farce, making sure women and men are paid the same(for various reasons that don’t include sexism) but I’ve never advocated for it like companies like Disney have. They’ve dug their own grave here and the results are comical.

What is being described as ‘gamergate 2.0’ centres around a company hired to inject wokeness into video games, sweet baby inc. The gaming magazines and news media will tell you it’s a harassment campaign against this company(https://www.wired.com/story/sweet-baby- ... gamergate/). Whereas in reality it came about because this company successfully cancelled a Brazilian man’s steam account(Kabrutusrambo) for merely talking about sweet baby inc injecting wokeness into games.

Won’t be as easy to point fingers and shout nazi as they have done for years because more people are now aware of their ridiculous yet effective tactics.

I watched a video on that ^^^
They screenshotted a tweet where Sweet Baby more or less threatening blackmail on everyone.
It was a case of "we hope you don't have anything in your past that could be used against you"
Of course if Sweet Baby was hired by a company, all potential unPC behaviour wouldn't be an issue.
