Wokeness and DEI? At GameStop? I've never even seen anyone other than high school aged white dudes working there.

Why is every CEO's brain turning to sludge all of a sudden? I mean I get sucking on the toadstool of the king to ensure you get your share of the public coffers as they're looted, but uh, this dude sells plastic toys and video games t-shirts for twice the price of everyone else.

And he wants to sell parts of his company which are in countries that aren't absolute shitholes, and his sales pitch is that you get.... free woke?

Their brains were already this sort of sludge. They never gave a bloody fuck about people, their shtick was always profits. But they were willing to pink-wash, black-wash, rainbow-wash their junk, as it was good advertisement.

Now that they feel like they have the back of some ~~banana republic~~ maize republic they're going all out.

Strangest way I've ever heard of saying "Our Business Model Is Ass And Nobody Likes Us Anymore Because Of It!"

In all seriousness, people like them are about as bright as a broken bulb in a deep cave.

what the fuck? Gamestop is still around?

People will really blame a vague “liberal agenda” for anything , huh?

“My business model no longer makes sense in the current market? Nah, it must be wokeness.”

Haven't stepped foot in one of these stores since I realized I was being scammed with console purchases constantly.

Please, let the door hit you on the way out.
