“ If the teenage brain can't think on death, then it stands to reason that it has no sense of the future. It only knows the present, this moment, the right now."
“The greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules. But what is the measure of a true hero?” Hercules (1997) dir. Ron Clements, John Musker.
The majority of the owner-writers of Cards Against Humanity wanted to put the n-word into the game. After their one black staff member, Nicolas Carter, asked Max Temkin, founder of Cards Against Humanity about the reasons behind each person saying ‘yes’ to doing so, and how it happened, Temkin told the head writers to fire him.
CAH head staff escalated things by contacting Carter’s family, threatening ‘disciplinary action’ and to fire Carter, then a staff member helped get Carter wrongly institutionalized, where he faced heavy racism.
FUCK Cards Against Humanity
Guys, read the article. His writing is collected and lucid. The things he’s saying are very, very disturbing nonetheless.
The article addresses his personal experience in double standards, and having to break the ( Black ) Glass Ceiling at work but knowing to deescalate to save himself. It talks about capitalism and compliance for the sake of your financial state. It talks about being set up, gaslit, and betrayed by people who pretended to listen, and about said people power harassing you beyond the experience, and intimidate you and your must vulnerable and unrelated family members.
He was reported as having “disappeared” for two years while he was in the mental asylum. The company tried to make him sign a disclosure contract a week after he was released. They also tracked him to his work place and convinced their boss to fire him.
It’s a collected plea for attention and action. It is very painful to read how the Cards Against Humanity writer and owners team got away with so much, and all because they wanted the N-Word Pass on their stupid game ( which he learned was the reason he was hired in the first place ).
These are the three influential people mentioned in the article:
Jo Feldman: Co-Head Writer, married to Andy Kushnir.
Andy Kushnir: a writer in Cards Against Humanity and husband of Jo Feldman. He was the guy who reported and filed the “evidence” of Nick’s “strange behavior”. He was also the person who made the report to the mental health institution. His LinkedIn is unavailable and his website was taken down.
Julia Weiss: Co-Head Writer, who was reportedly out in Germany when Andy and Jo threatened Nick and sent him to the mental health institution. The Weiss_Tea Twitter has been deleted.
Night in the Woods and Oneshot are both in it, not to mention literally hundreds of other cool indie games I haven’t played yet that look really cool and promising.
Also I’d like to reiterate it is $5 minimum for over $3,400 worth of content, which is just fucking insane.
