How high would you rank based on "Activision Diversity Space Tool"? Poll

[Raxacorico]

So everyone probably read or heard about it. I'm funnily curious how the poll is going to end up based on our input.

I have no idea how I'm supposed to answer this question.

Based on their 'tool', if you're Caucasian, young, with average intellect, naturally healthy average slim body, normal looking man, born as a man, who identifies as a straight man and is from middle class background with rich European history. Then you're probably gonna be a perfect 0.

Where can the tool be accessed?

It is not accessible to us whatsoever. Activision just shared a post with these images in it so you're going to have to work with what you can deduce from them.

https://www.mmo-champion.com/content...sion-in-Gaming is the source of the images and so

I imagine this'll go the same way the last thread did.

I look forward to the cries of "dystopia" and "dangerous," at least, even if this thread was meant to amuse.

Rich European history is already the giveaway

Like no shame in being proud of the history of your birthplace but in this context its a red flag lol

And the fact that the OP is intentionally misrepresenting what the tool is even for.

It's not a scoring system where higher is better. It's a deviation-from-mean scale. The goal is not to get the highest number possible, it's to monitor frequency and check for trends. It's meant to avoid falling into traps like 'every female character is a caster or archer' that any JRPG fan is probably familiar with.

Edit: All that being said, still a stupid tool. They spent how many years perfecting something that can be done just as easily by having someone who wasn't part of the design team just look at the characters and say whether or not they notice any trends.

Europe's history isn't any "richer" than any other region's history.

The only reason people think otherwise is because they've only been taught European history. The idea that European history is "richer" is literally white supremacist propaganda.

I know you're saying the same thing, I'm just being a wee bit more explicit.

Pretty pointless without the actual tool.

[Elegiac]

It's nonsense that was only released to public scrutiny so the resulting raging from neckbeards would distract from the fact Activision-Blizzard has been caught actively engaging in union busting yet again.

This is closed. This isn't even remotely a good thread idea. Be more mindful.
