Lawyer involved with Pokémon Halo slams antiwoke gamers job was to purge them

[havoc00]

Don McGowan, is the former chief legal officer of The Pokémon Company as well as a producer of the film "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu," in addition to having served General Counsel and a producer for Bungie, the company behind the Halo games. He wrote a long, now-deleted thread about how his job in the industry was to purge "a—holes" from gaming. He was responding to the consumer backlash against DEI consultancy companies like Sweet Baby Inc., calling anti-woke consumers "human garbage."

McGowan wrote, "20 years in games, 17 in the C-suite, so I am well situated to say: these people blaming one consultancy for everything they don’t like are again demonstrating they know nothing about the subject they purport to be discussing. They are sexist and racist."

He retweeted a thread from Kotaku senior editor Alyssa Mercante, who wrote about the Sweet Baby Inc. controversy. She appeared to claim people who followed the "Sweet Baby Inc. Detected" list were engaged in a "harassment campaign."

Under the social media username, "Trans kids are not a threat. Leave them alone!," McGowan argued people who are upset with DEI messaging in games are loathed by the industry, stating it had been his job to "get rid" of them.

"And it never occurs to them that the reason nobody made games ‘for them’ was because nobody wanted to make those kinds of games," he wrote. "Nobody wants your money because no one wants you in their environment. Take it from someone most of whose job was figuring out ways to get rid of you."

He continued, "Trust and Safety departments exist to get a--holes out of the gaming environment. You end up creating them to get rid of a--holes, because adult humans don’t want to spend their leisure time with a--holes. You’re a GamerGater? F--- off, you g-----n child."

McGowan touted his work for The Pokemon company, noting, "By the way, if you're f-----g crying about the fact that I'm telling you to eat s--t, think about why you're such a person that the producer of Detective Pikachu thinks you are human garbage, and maybe work on being less s----y."

Funny how these people call anyone opposed to them a-holes, only to proceed to talk and act like complete and utter a-holes.

[teodorkanev1]

It will be hard sleeping tonight knowing that the producer of Detective Pikachu himself thinks that.












FKN LMAAAOOOO





How does such an immature prick even end up as CLO at a big company?

What is with liberals always going apeshyt?

[wickedman]

The producer of Detective Pikachu!?

Good God, really shines light on the fact some people are just born lucky - there's no one who is a sane and intelligent individual who can say something like that in a serious statement.

[CrimsonSteel]

Why do far left people always come across so hysterical, like they are barely holding on to any semblance of sanity? The way this guy types with such impassioned vitriol is pathetic. What a phaaaaag.

[nettripper]

Cause he’s a faggot Brian Stelter looking fuk

Hello Pot, meet Kettle.

Project harder and defend people like this some more. I know you can do it.

[JayJ350]

Because they are. They are all basically living in their own little world, everything they think and project is a product of their insanity. We aren't dealing with rational or reasonable people.

Deplorables need to start paying these people a visit. Give em a nice tap tap taparoo on the back of their skull. Tehe

[BigElephant]

Eventually this will hurt the bottom line enough that they'll have to take a look at what they're churning out. It's already hurting the bottom line in a lot of things.

Translation: There's a lot more companies like Sweet Baby Inc. They're just the one that just got exposed lately. It's a large circle of people who are very determined to inject their neo-liberal agenda to gaming. And they're well-funded.

Don sounds like the kind of guy who cuts you off in traffic then gives you the finger

[4g64fiero]

The dude is just a random entertainment lawyer that happened to produce det pikachu. He has no actual artistic talent and is solely a pawn.

That's basically every single person like this. Talentless invasive hacks who want to control something they are incapable of creating.
