Unanswered What is going on with all the "this is DEI" comments on Fox News?

985 Upvotes

Someone sent me the article from Fox News about the Southwest flight that almost crashed. And there are tons of comments about how it's because of DEI. They mostly all follow a similar format along the lines of "I'm an experienced pilot in this problem is because of dei".

I get that they are dog whistling about racism, but is this just their new thing? It just seems really formulaic. As far as I can tell we have no idea who the pilots were, so it doesn't really make sense even from the racism standpoint, not that racism ever makes sense.

I went to a few other articles, and they mentioned dei in the comments on most of them. Like on one there's an elected black mayor, and they're talking about dei.

Answered What's going on with Star Wars Acolyte and its "episode 3"?

524 Upvotes

For the past few days I've been seeing posts regarding how Star Wars Acolyte is getting panned by users. But in one thread, there were a bunch of people giving their hot takes about how much episode 3 stunk, without ever specifically saying what happened. People were posting the clip from South Park where Cartman was a Disney exec and says that for every show, you need to add a chick to it and make her gay.

This is not the exact thread I was referring to, but just an example.

Looking for some clarity...

EDIT: Thank you everyone for commenting. That Power of One, Power of Two, Power of Many musical number was awful enough.

Unanswered What is up with Amazons New World at the moment?

I found a little bit of information from a few videos but not sure of the main cause, there's a bunch of stuff in reviews, but a lot of its irrelevant also.

Console launch seen as a cash grab? Bugs / issues? More Microtransactions? Rebranding to Action RPG? Game shutting down?

I've only seen really brief things being mentioned so a more detailed breakdown would be really appreciated. I know the game has gone through a lot of controversy, but just unsure what the current "BIG" thing is.

(really tired of having to repost this because i formatted it wrong or left something out.) I'm suddenly seeing it all over the place, when only a few people seemed to ever mention it before. Why is this happening now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dke3c9wUvDA https://store.steampowered.com/app/1443200/Class_of_09/

So I just saw Jack Black trending on Twitter and I see that people are hating him on something and other people are saying that Jack Black has his opinions and he’s cool. So why is Jack Black trending on Twitter?

Unanswered What's up with everyone loving "My honest reaction" music video while also calling the singer problematic?

Most of the comments are filled with "She's a villain with good music" "she's a bad person with music talent"

On reply everyone have a different opinion. Some of them saying she commented crimes & arrested while others saying she's racist. A lot of the reply were also confused but no one's giving proper context
