The blue/purple hair decision makers at GDQ are trying to virtual signal and have targeted SNK due to Saudi ownership.

GDQ stopped the Metal Slug stream mid-run, apologized, rejected the funds, cut ties, and promised better sponsor vetting.
Seems like GDQ is speedrunning hypocrisy with selective outrage.

Who honestly gives a fuck
Remote-controlled people do, sad little fucks who happen to have certain parts of the media behind them that amplify their incessant whining until it becomes the usual lefty bs propaganda we're faced with on a daily basis. In turn, the smaller idiots pick up the story, dye their hair green and set out to cancel everything they don't like, preferrably stuff that has absolute zero impact on anyone or anything. Easy targets, you know, like a Slug media stream or an old lady wearing a sombrero for fun on YT (which they call cultural appropriation) in order to let them feel like freedom fighters for a brighter tomorrow.

Another one of GDQ's totally out of left field about-face renunciations to its neverending corporate doublespeak tier PR and cryptic policies? Well I, for one, am shocked & at a loss for words.

Do these idiots realize that almost if not every single product that they even touch has some connection to some horrible government somewhere? Pretty sure they made that social media update from their iPhone that is probably made by slave labor somewhere. While drinking their coffee that is harvested by cartel owned farmers. All while wearing their clothing that is probably made by a six-year-old and a sweatshop somewhere...

Leave it to white people to signal the most virtue.

I'm pretty damn liberal, fucking hate the Saudi government and their human rights bullshit, and fucking hate that they own SNK.

This is still some useless and ridiculous virtue signaling that does nothing.

They either should have done a bit of research (SNK being majority Saudi-owned is absolutely no secret) and not done it to begin with, or just finished it without making a stink about it and then said "no more SNK" after the fact, oopsie poopsie.

Besides that, what about other countries like the US and China where all kinds of fucked up shit is being done by their governments too? Going to cherry pick which games and game companies to virtue signal over?

You're doing a good thing by raising money for Doctors Without Borders. Focus on that.

I still can’t believe that one cult that murdered the husband and wife from Chester Heights was literally one street over from me, you know what I’m talking about.
Dude, it was like when the Brazilian guy Italian-SpiderMan’d his way out of Chester County Prison…got the drop on one of my neighbors, and stole his rifle out of his garage in front of him (!)

Good guys w/ guns, stop bad guys w/ guns-amirite? Bob should’ve been packing infinity knives, lol.

*plot twist-the prisoner stayed on the run for weeks, and nourished himself on St. Agnes’ soup line. My mother in law served him at one point. His disguise game was on point.
