The people who are eager to cancel others making a business out of "so you've been cancelled, we can help" is pretty hilarious. Also they're asking that straight up rapists approach them? I imagine they're totally underequipped for that.

Can't fault them. So long as companies eat that shit up it's only right to grift the fuck out of them.

I imagine it'll be harder now with the industry being in a rut and companies suddenly wondering why they're paying for DEI groups

Several people I spoke to noted that their studios had increased diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI] efforts in prior years when funding was robust, resulting in improved hiring initiatives and greater diversity in junior roles at major studios. But when the time came for layoffs, the developers who benefited from those initiatives often lost their jobs. Former employees of Epic Games, 343 Industries, and Bungie all told me that their companies’ DEI groups had been hurt by layoffs, with key employee leaders losing their jobs and companies making little effort to fill the gaps. This has left marginalized developers trapped in an overcrowded job market with few opportunities to get back on their feet.
