The culture war is not a place for nuance.

Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios, may be in that position right now.

Mahler replied questioning their credentials.

characters making drugs in schedule 1.

After all, he is CEO and director - he’d know, right?

His reply, embedded in full below, is highly condescending, and only exacerbated the issue.

And I can rebuttal with just two words: DEI chin.

You see, Mahler is not an extremist.

I find that entire approach perverted.

The issue is he is emphasising force, and those cheering behind him are emphasising DEI.

This is where the DEI chin comes in.

Do I care about this?

No, the chin structure of a game’s characters is not a factor in which games I play.

But it highlights the absurdity of this issue.

To reiterate, pretty much everything Mahler said in that 399 word tweet is correct.

The throw in of consultancy he is talking about is bad for gaming, bad for art.
