Don't be sorry. I personally know a couple of the guys who have worked for one of the top VR companies, one a coder, one a designer. Both extremely talented people. I can't recall if it was Oculus or a competitor but no difference.

One day at a party, one of them sort of corners me and starts talking about how awesome it would be to be able to give a big man a small woman's experience so that he could understand how powerless and afraid she feels. I said why doesn't she take a martial arts class and buy a gun, then? He didn't like that answer. I said I knew plenty of small women who didn't feel powerless or afraid in their daily lives (since that's the wheelhouse for my sexual partnerships). He liked that response even less.

As usual with these big tech companies now, it's not about fun and games. It's about being Responsible Citizens(TM) who control and indoctrinate, for (((whatever))) reason.

    For people at the level of the people I know, it's just the culture here. It IS a religion. They are convinced of their own moral superiority just like any devout muslim. I have a friend of a friend who moved here from hickville Alabama, adopted the wokeness ASAP, and then started accusing everyone else of not having enough of it precisely because she was so insecure in her own. If they DIDN'T add wokeness to everything they did, they'd have to hear from their "friends" and associates all the questions about why didn't they when it's Clearly Important.

    Perhaps, at the funding level, there is another objective. God knows we see the same thing repeated often enough in so many different media.

    Except the many caucasians do not have any sense of collective pride, rather loathing even if they may be individually proud. So these virtue singalling may even appeal to them paradoxically, at least to the leftoids.

    The problem is your racist fucking views have little support now.

      Yah. This is why I've taken up options trading. Novelty aka variety is one of the six basic human "needs." It's necessary for establishing trust in one's world.
