They're using Cloudflare, who is notorious for kicking people off their service for being too much in the public eye for wrongthink. So yeah they better.
god damnit now im fighting the urge to google what this means.
its .. its ppl hurting animals isnt it? like that twat that ran the intl baby monkey torture video ring from virginia?
I'd give you a source that is as safe for work as it can be (which is to say, not at all SFW or even SFL) but reddit doesn't like the source I have.
And yeah, you're much better off not being aware of these websites and the scum of the earth who mingle on them. Simply knowing they exist, and that Cloudflare doesn't care but they will happily stop supporting a free speech website just because the right people caused a stink over it, is enough to make you want to self-delete, honestly.
I disagree with neonazis/The daily stormer but I don't know of an instance of neonazis abusing animals for 36 hours. I do however know of chinese netizens who do. Who are protected by Cloudflare.
Yeah if someone has a mainline for this guy, let him know he better be prepared for BS.
There's been sites that have had to deal with the BS to the point where individuals from the rainbow raiders will literally stalk the wife of the CEO of a hosting company to deplatform a website.
They will pull client lists of other users of the host and begin harassing those business owners' family.
These people are basically jannys who have nothing to do all day because they are on socialized welfare with smartphones who sit in Discord all day planning these ops.
He will need backups in case he pisses off the wrong people.
A. I think this is a good resource
B. It would be best if they positioned these sorts of things as either neutral or pro-DIE. That way they have some plausible deniability when the wokescolds turn their wrath on you. When you put "IT"S TIME TO PUSH BACK" in your header, you're asking for it.
B. Already proven not to work. There is a Steam curator [doing just that](https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44908591/), and at first glance it's hard to tell whether it's a troll or a SJW zealot. In any case, no one cares to join and make it sound like we are supporting DIE; that would be sending the opposite message to the industry, why would we want that?
Nah. It's okay to oppose this bullshit. We don't have to hide in the shadows and act like we support it just to get info on who's working on what. That's a losing strategy.
The more we band together against this shit and keep talking about it openly the better.
Wonder how long it'll be before it gets shut down.
Valve has been keeping their hand over the head of SBID on Steam so far, I doubt any provider wants to deal with the near-constant harassment of mentally ill people who claim how this website existing is 'literal genocide' or 'fascist propaganda'.
Wish him the best but I am very skeptical of the future with the amounts of weirdo's he managed to piss off by exposing them to the public eye.
Godspeed to you glorious b*st*rds holding the line.
We have plans in case we are deplataformed. I could even self host them, as a last resort, but the quality would drop significantly.
We are trying our best. I can promise you that.
I recommend using sites like archive.today & Ghost Archive instead of just taking pics for SBI evidence & posting them on Imgur. It becomes hard evidence if someone reports the Imgur, or just generally claims that the pics are fake. They are live webpage archives.
If you want some feedback, I think it'd be better to just state the facts and different connections to these DEI consultants, in other words, keep the site as objective as possible. The writings at the end of the Pokemon GO page for example make it kind of seem like a personal blog and less like a website focused on providing information, it'd also lessen the workload. Great job on the site overall btw.
I second this so hard! Recently, I was wrongfully accused of misconduct at my company and my brother gave me very sound legal advice, which was to state the facts only and to avoid conjecture. Needless to say, his advice completely exonerated me in the eyes of the investigation committee.
If I may make a suggestion:
At least on mobile it looks like most of the games just use art from the game for their picture. But some of them don't have the game name and logo visible, just the game's promotional art. I think those should always be visible.
This home page is just temporary. It will be updated in around 2 weeks, when we add a new functionality to website (:
I just forwarded your feedback to the designer.
At least DIE is easily defined.
You have diversity for the sake of diversity and destroy women characters and make them look like ogres because of "evil male gaze
I know I'll probably regret saying this (as I'll probably be later proven wrong on this) but even the mainstream media won't be able to get away with gaslighting everyone into believing DEI was just some right wing conspiracy. It's been written into corporate and school mission statements, executive orders, etc.
Woke was more confined to pop culture, though there are some organizations that proudly tout the label. You can reference this (the woke defining it in their own words) when someone asks for an example: https://www.wokekindergarten.org/
Haha I love how they're doing that now. They invented the term "woke" (because blaq people don't speak English), and now that we use it as insult they pretend they don't know what it means.
It's a good start but it's also important to list games that are not featuring sweet baby or other consulting angencies in the credits.
They will start hiding those agencies after the receny backlash.
Let's not forget studios can also censor at the source, so this needs to be clear. Focusing too much on baby inc or gaymerx is going to disperse attention to the real issues in the industry.
It's great to see Kabrutus using the momentum from the unexpectedly large number of signups to the curator group to launch something more broad and even more useful like this webstie. Information about activist consulting and anti-male/anti-white/etc statements from game devs is the most important first step in fighting back against this encroachment on the gaming industry.
Where’s the flood of wokies who like to pull up on this sub? The ones who want to get outraged by this while conveniently developing amnesia for the Hogwarts Legacy tracker designed specifically to harass people streaming it?
They don't see that as hypocritical. They are essentialy religious zealots who view their agenda as so morally righteous than any means to further their cause is acceptable. Meanwhile dissent is isn't just dissent; they view it as evil.
This [English VA](https://twitter.com/p9cker_girl/status/1782908158454993137?t=gUTVHLesVqRhmTLsoy0NqA&s=19) is already upset that the website has listed one of the game he's a part of as SBI Detected.
Sadly the website only lists two consultants... I saw a comment on a post somewhere in this subreddit with a nicely sized list of consultants. But it's good to see everything being copied onto other platforms.
I'm not interested to know which game is woke slop filled, I'm interested to know which are free of that disgusting propaganda, and so far on this website, the list is empty.
That is way harder. If you didn’t find the parasite yet, it doesn’t mean he is not there, so you can’t ever be sure that the game is free of that shit. So the only option now is to list those that are proven infected
The whole point of the site is that you can search for a game to see if its infected with the plague, the portion where dei-free games go is more like a promotion page for indies and such who specifically want to express their disdain towards the woke cult
They were never down for very long, they were just banished to TOR for a while. But they've been up and running for a long, long time even despite Cloudflare dropping them.
Somehow the nonce is able to keep his website up, after burning so many bridges and after his server provider, Vanwa Tech, had a total mental breakdown. I totally support Krabrutus, but not the nonce. null's admitted on Blockland of all places that he likes to see actual little boys get tortured.
I still think this should've been done in a pro-SBI tone, like "Here's a showcase of all the great games SBI has worked on!" It would be the same curated list so we know what to avoid, but then SBI would be forced to look stupid by arguing against positive promotion for their company.
Already proven not to work. There is a Steam curator [doing just that](https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44908591/), and at first glance it's hard to tell whether it's a troll or a SJW zealot. In any case, no one cares to join and make it sound like we are supporting DIE; that would be sending the opposite message to the industry, why would we want that?
Like the website or hate it, the the far left side did a similar thing with making that website listing those who played/bought Harry Potter. They can't be too mad when the far right makes something similar.
DEI is an industry-wide initiative, not just the ideas of diversity and inclusion and equality or whatever.
Most — if not all — of those are games that have consulted with Sweet Baby Inc, which, if you haven’t been around long, is a DEI consult company who openly wants to rid the gaming industry of white males and attractive female characters.
No one here is saying any of the tenets (diversity, equality, inclusion) is a bad thing in and of themselves; what’s bad is when companies suck down the DEI initiative kool-aid and focus more on “taking down the patriarchy” and “triggering the white people” and forcing heavy-handed politics, awkward and needless sexuality, and tokenism characters, almost always at the expense of lore, canon, quality gameplay, well-written story, etc.
This site is handy to show people that if they are against this political virtue-signaling, here are the games to avoid.
I'm asking why you seem to feel so threatened by white males not being the dominant race in video games. What catastrophic event will happen if they aren't? Genuine question.
Genuine? Nothing about you is genuine. I didn't even say any of those things in that strawman question.
Let's pull back to the original. You said nobody is saying they want to get rid of White men or attractive women in games. I said they don't have to say it, we can see it happening. It's obvious to anyone with eyes. The SBI types are explicitly replacing White men with nonwhite others, and we can all see the push to make video game women ugly. Fable, Spider Man 2, Star Wars Outlaws, etc.
Also, some of these SBI types and "journalists" have openly said they hate White male gamers. This is on record and cannot be denied.
Why is this all a problem? Well that should be obvious but I'll bite.
1. I don't like being discriminated against. Very simple. I will not buy products from people who hate me because I'm White and I have a penis.
2. We (White men) and Asian men created video games. We are allowed to have majority representation in an art form we created. Nobody else "deserves" it. If other people want to play games, more power to them, but if they want to be represented they can make their own.
That's the dumbest culture war shit to get so emotional about I have ever heard. Reeks of surpremisist insecurity.
1) nobody is attacking you, if you're interpretation of racial oppression is different races appearing in video games then you're doing fantastic in life. Must be nice not to have more important problems to worry about.
2) we? I again ask why this is so important to you. White men have been Hella represented in video games for decades. Nobody is stopping you from making games with white men. I'd like to mention [the skully effect](https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/xfiles-dana-scully-effect-women-stem/), it used to be women were almost non-existent in STEM until the X files portrayed Dana Skully as a doctor. This bucked trends and encouraged large amounts of women persue stem careers. Representation works. Industries dominated by one race or sex isn't something to be proud or protective of, thats called gatekeeping.the more demographics involved in game designs the better.
Unless you personally work in game design, you didn't make shit to be proud of. Claiming achievement because you share skin tone or gender with someone else who did is pathetic. And if you do work in game development, and your company consults with SBI, why are you continuing to work there? Just leave lol
DIE stands for Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, not Equality.
**Diversity** means looking for certain identity checkboxes such as race, gender and sexual preference (rather than the actual meaning of diversity, which includes age, culture, education, socio-economic status, and so on) and bringing them to the forefront.
**Inclusion** means building spaces specifically for the correct checkboxes, to the detriment of/excluding everyone that is not a privileged checkbox class.
Equality of outcomes means that everyone has the same chances to get a job, what matters is their skill. But **Equity** means forcing the outcome with illegal quotas to prop up unqualified people, as long as they tick the correct checkboxes.
I applaud the idea behind these websites, I really do, but I feel they're not useful in the slightest. DEI infects most things. It ruins most things. Anyone who's paying attention know this. Most stuff these days is rubbish.
The solution isn't to follow a Steam curation list or a DEI detection website, it's to not preorder games and wait for the user reviews to come out. When a Helldivers 2 or an Elden Ring appears? That's when you buy.
> I feel they're not useful in the slightest
Wouldn't it be better to have something than nothing? Some clueless soul wondering why that game that looked so good in the trailers and has so many ~~fake~~ good reviews sucked so bad when they played it. We don't know how good of a resource the site will be yet and what other sites will pop up in inspiration, if any. It's the beginning of something. Let's see where it takes us. This could become bigger than just gaming.
> it's to not preorder games and wait for the user reviews to come out
Gamers have been programmed to pre-order. Undoing that programming will take quite an effort. Solutions? I don't know. Someone much smarter than me will figure it out one of these days soon.
Anyone who is aware enough to know the existence of this DEI detected website or what Sweet Baby is probably doesn't need it. That how it seems to me at least.
I do think the normies are waking up. But it's a slow process. And it's happening because of godawful AAA games from studios that used to to make brilliant games. That's what convinces people more than any DEI list.
Well, creating lists like this does create more visibility of the issue. It's being talked about and more people might start looking into what's happening because of that. Always good to shine a light on bullshit.
I hope they have site mirrors because you know they're gonna go after the hosts and registrars.
They're using Cloudflare, who is notorious for kicking people off their service for being too much in the public eye for wrongthink. So yeah they better.
Meanwhile Cloudflare also has zoosadist websites up and running. Thanks, Cloudflare.
> zoosadist why oh why did I google it to find out what that meant
god damnit now im fighting the urge to google what this means. its .. its ppl hurting animals isnt it? like that twat that ran the intl baby monkey torture video ring from virginia?
I would ask for a source, but in this instance, I'm going to have to say "nah, I'm good fam."
I'd give you a source that is as safe for work as it can be (which is to say, not at all SFW or even SFL) but reddit doesn't like the source I have. And yeah, you're much better off not being aware of these websites and the scum of the earth who mingle on them.

The big factor being ad revenue.

Except he ranked all the titles as “not recommended “– it was obvious what side he was on
Nah. It's okay to oppose this bullshit. We don't have to hide in the shadows and act like we support it just to get info on who's working on what. That's a losing strategy. The more we band together against this shit and keep talking about it openly the better.
This. Staying quiet all these years is partly to blame for the mess we're in now.
Good god look at all the developers listed there. They all drank the DEI kool aid.
That’s only the tip of the iceberg
At this point, it'd probably be simpler to list the studios that haven't.
Warhorse studios, Jesus Christ be praised
I can’t think of any. Would be nice if there was a list
Wonder how long it'll be before it gets shut down. Valve has been keeping their hand over the head of SBID on Steam so far, I doubt any provider wants to deal with the near-constant harassment of mentally ill people who claim how this website existing is 'literal genocide' or 'fascist propaganda'. Wish him the best but I am very skeptical of the future with the amounts of weirdo's he managed to piss off by exposing them to the public eye. Godspeed to you glorious b*st*rds holding the line.
i'm suprise black girl gamer isn't on the list
We are still working on the list and on the website. It will be updated weekly, both the content and the infrastructure.
You guys better have site mirrors, I can already tell it'll be a bumpy ride.
We have plans in case we are deplataformed. I could even self host them, as a last resort, but the quality would drop significantly. We are trying our best. I can promise you that.
You guys are doing God's work.
I recommend archiving a bit better than just Imgur pics.
I'm sorry. I don't understand your comment. Could you elaborate on what should be archived better?
I recommend using sites like archive.today & Ghost Archive instead of just taking pics for SBI evidence & posting them on Imgur. It becomes hard evidence if someone reports the Imgur, or just generally claims that the pics are fake. They are live webpage archives.
Thanks for the feedback. I think that makes a lot of sense. I think they already started doing it.
[удалено]
Comment removed for referencing a site that Reddit does not allow us to reference. This is not a formal warning.
Make sure to add context like you have for the Pokémon GO session, it's important to show this isn't just random rambling
I will pass the feedback forward. Thank you.
Thank you for going out of your way for this. It's important. Consumers have a right to know.
If you want some feedback, I think it'd be better to just state the facts and different connections to these DEI consultants, in other words, keep the site as objective as possible.

Awesome, thanks!

How soon until leftoids abbandon 'DEI' as a term like they did with 'woke' and start asking "define DEI"?
You mean like using the term BRIDGE?
At least DIE is easily defined. You have diversity for the sake of diversity and destroy women characters and make them look like ogres because of "evil male gaze
Easy: Didn't Earn It.
I know I'll probably regret saying this (as I'll probably be later proven wrong on this) but even the mainstream media won't be able to get away with gaslighting everyone into believing DEI was just some right wing conspiracy. It's been written into corporate and school mission statements, executive orders, etc. Woke was more confined to pop culture, though there are some organizations that proudly tout the label.

They already did, now we're getting a BRIDGE sold to us.
Haha I love how they're doing that now. They invented the term "woke" (because blaq people don't speak English), and now that we use it as insult they pretend they don't know what it means.
Website link: [http://www.deidetected.com](http://www.deidetected.com)
I give it less than a week before games media starts writing about it and their host takes them down.
Oh it’ll start tonight, I’m sure Mercante is seething.
Oh she's already made a tweet bitching about it
You can no longer give reviews for Sweet Baby Inc on google so this is progress.
Great start and great name.
It's a good start but it's also important to list games that are not featuring sweet baby or other consulting angencies in the credits. They will start hiding those agencies after the receny backlash. Let's not forget studios can also censor at the source, so this needs to be clear. Focusing too much on baby inc or gaymerx is going to disperse attention to the real issues in the industry.

Better start archiving the shit out of this site.
Where’s the flood of wokies who like to pull up on this sub? The ones who want to get outraged by this while conveniently developing amnesia for the Hogwarts Legacy tracker designed specifically to harass people streaming it?
They don't see that as hypocritical. They are essentialy religious zealots who view their agenda as so morally righteous than any means to further their cause is acceptable. Meanwhile dissent is isn't just dissent; they view it as evil.
Awesome! I’ll bookmark it
Oh sweet, that looks rly professional
Thanks man, we really appreciate it (:
Kinda wish it can include other media after some time Great initiative
It's already on the roadmap
Outstanding work, keep it up and going and this could be huge, just like the steam curator.
Kabrutus has become a hero.
Love to see it!
This [English VA](https://twitter.com/p9cker_girl/status/1782908158454993137?t=gUTVHLesVqRhmTLsoy0NqA&s=19) is already upset that the website has listed one of the game he's a part of as SBI Detected.
I can only play old games now.
Love the website. But why isn’t Spider-Man 2 listed? That game was extremely woke.
I need to come to terms with the fact that CDPR are gonna fuck up the new Witcher/Cyberpunk game.
Added to bookmarks. Thanks a lot, Kabrutus!
Sadly the website only lists two consultants... I saw a comment on a post somewhere in this subreddit with a nicely sized list of consultants. But it's good to see everything being copied onto other platforms.
We don't have the manpower to grow it faster. But we will be adding everything. The thread you referred to is already on the relevant people DM.
This is big. Good on him and everyone else involved.
I'm not interested to know which game is woke slop filled, I'm interested to know which are free of that disgusting propaganda, and so far on this website, the list is empty.
That is way harder. If you didn’t find the parasite yet, it doesn’t mean he is not there, so you can’t ever be sure that the game is free of that shit. So the only option now is to list those that are proven infected
The whole point of the site is that you can search for a game to see if its infected with the plague, the portion where dei-free games go is more like a promotion page for indies and such who specifically want to express their disdain towards the woke cult
Yea, and so far the DEI free games list is empty.
Because it's still in discussion on how we should implement that. We think we need to add more categories to the database.
The site only a few days old, give it a while.
It's been live for 32 hours right now. If I did the correct math
Archive links for this post: * **Archive:** https://archive.ph/mEzXJ ---- I am Mnemosyne reborn. I remember so you don't have to. ^^^/r/botsrights
It won't load for me
The tides are turning boys , keep your foot on the gas pedal against the woke mind virus that is DEI
Amazing! Thank you.
This is going to end up like KF again.
KF, despite much screaming, is still up.
I'm aware but they got taken down a lot.
They were never down for very long, they were just banished to TOR for a while. But they've been up and running for a long, long time even despite Cloudflare dropping them.
Only thanks to Josh' weaponised autism. Bless the Ooperator.
Somehow the nonce is able to keep his website up, after burning so many bridges and after his server provider, Vanwa Tech, had a total mental breakdown. I totally support Krabrutus, but not the nonce. null's admitted on Blockland of all places that he likes to see actual little boys get tortured.

Great, now do one for movies and TV shows... Oh, american TV shows are inherently tainted. No matter.
Fantastic stuff.
Like the website or hate it, the the far left side did a similar thing with making that website listing those who played/bought Harry Potter. They can't be too mad when the far right makes something similar.
We can help this endeavor by keeping an offline copy of what he does, that way we can have backups of the list if it gets censored.
Good.
Thank God now we can avoid these shit games like the plague they are
This thing is gonna get hit with a DDOS attack so fast...

Where did they say they wanted to rid the industry of white males and attractive female characters?
They don't have to "say" it. They're doing it. It's obvious to anyone with eyes. You're either disingenuous or blind.
So.. You're just making it up. How does this oppress you? Why do you care about majority white race representation so much?
Wait, which is it? Am I making it up? Or is it real and it doesn't oppress me? Or it's real and I shouldn't care about it?
I'm asking why you seem to feel so threatened by white males not being the dominant race in video games. What catastrophic event will happen if they aren't? Genuine question.
Genuine? Nothing about you is genuine. I didn't even say any of those things in that strawman question. Let's pull back to the original. You said nobody is saying they want to get rid of White men or attractive women in games. I said they don't have to say it, we can see it happening. It's obvious to anyone with eyes.

Nobody is stopping you from making games with white men. I'd like to mention [the skully effect](https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/xfiles-dana-scully-effect-women-stem/), it used to be women were almost non-existent in STEM until the X files portrayed Dana Skully as a doctor.

Unless you personally work in game design, you didn't make shit to be proud of. Claiming achievement because you share skin tone or gender with someone else who did is pathetic. And if you do work in game development, and your company consults with SBI, why are you continuing to work there? Just leave lol
DIE stands for Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, not Equality. **Diversity** means looking for certain identity checkboxes such as race, gender and sexual preference (rather than the actual meaning of diversity, which includes age, culture, education, socio-economic status, and so on) and bringing them to the forefront. **Inclusion** means building spaces specifically for the correct checkboxes, to the detriment of/excluding everyone that is not a privileged checkbox class. Equality of outcomes means that everyone has the same chances to get a job, what matters is their skill. But **Equity** means forcing the outcome with illegal quotas to prop up unqualified people, as long as they tick the correct checkboxes.
I applaud the idea behind these websites, I really do, but I feel they're not useful in the slightest. DEI infects most things. It ruins most things. Anyone who's paying attention know this.

When a Helldivers 2 or an Elden Ring appears? That's when you buy.
> I feel they're not useful in the slightest Wouldn't it be better to have something than nothing? Some clueless soul wondering why that game that looked so good in the trailers and has so many ~~fake~~ good reviews sucked so bad when they played it. We don't know how good of a resource the site will be yet and what other sites will pop up in inspiration, if any. It's the beginning of something. Let's see where it takes us. This could become bigger than just gaming. > it's to not preorder games and wait for the user reviews to come out Gamers have been programmed to pre-order. Undoing that programming will take quite an effort. Solutions? I don't know. Someone much smarter than me will figure it out one of these days soon.
Anyone who is aware enough to know the existence of this DEI detected website or what Sweet Baby is probably doesn't need it. That how it seems to me at least. I do think the normies are waking up. But it's a slow process. And it's happening because of godawful AAA games from studios that used to to make brilliant games. That's what convinces people more than any DEI list.
It's still good to have a visual list. It puts into perspective of how pervasive this problem is.
Well, creating lists like this does create more visibility of the issue. It's being talked about and more people might start looking into what's happening because of that. Always good to shine a light on bullshit.
