It seems like these companies and celebs are doing it in the vain hope that they won't be fire bombed, robbed or worse when the crowds inevitably turn towards them. They want to be able to say "I was on your side the entire time, look over there!"

I can't stand all the gay virtue signaling with not only Pride Month™ but Black Lives Matter.

Both marketers and journalists are promoting this horseshit, the tone deafness of them is astronomical. I can see why they would delay the PS5 reveal because they want everyone to be 100% focused on it, but don't couple it with the bullshit going on in the news.

There should be a boycott of companies that openly support terrorism, curb stomping American citizens and burning down poor people's homes.

It's like attempting to put lamb's blood on your doorstep so they'll ignore it.

This didn't work on day 1 because Nike got it's stores looted hours after that tweet went out.

I think that it's more likely that Sony still has issues with the PS5. They should have revealed the console 3 months ago.
That said, joggers are the main target of PlayStation, since they're too busy looting and shooting rioting, they would have missed the event.

Call of Duty even pulled this bullshit.


Everyone was delaying their games because of the chinese and now it's black people.

JUST GIVE US THE FUCKING GAMES.

The logic is beyond fucking stupid, the media( and social media) melts down and now everything has to grind to a halt. Are they going to hold shit hostage when Trump wins the election again? is Todd Howard going to make us take a purity test every time we want to play the next Elder Scrolls game?

Well, they already talk all the time about how they don't want racists and Trump supporters to play their games. Maybe trying to implement that desire is the next stage of TDS if he wins again.

"In order to pre-order this game, you must scan your voter registration card first, then gibs $50 to the nearest black person simply for existing"
 
People going BASED NINTENDO for not putting out a Diversity message on social media are going to have to eat crow it looks like

The lowest common denominator people and animal crossing retards(but I repeat myself) are clamoring for one and it sounds like they're going to get a BLM message too.

You do realize this is complete soulless marketing not done out of any political ideology, but to placate mobs of sheep so they can sell their product in peace? Its so obvious, that its utterly pointless.

Nobody is a 'traitor'. It costs you 0 dollars to throw that out there, people who are opposed to the riots basically know you're just appeasing the unwashed masses. Not to mention the rioters themselves are just burning down and looting their own neighborhoods. All you have to do is send out one tweet and you're clear.

Its the epitome of laziness. The rioters can be gunned down in the street, you don't have to spend a cent, you just tweet out 'Black Lives Matter!' and that's it. Calling them a 'traitor' ala OAG is fucking lol.

Damn, that’s a lot of people to hold a grudge against. I still respect some of these guys, though. OAG’s just being reactionary as usual.
