During a recent livestream, I took some of you through an incredibly painful DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) indoctrination course that Rockstar Games has been reportedly subjecting their employees to—specifically a module called “Unconscious Bias” designed by Stacey A. Gordon.
This was in fact the very same course that friend of the channel Endymion mentioned in his video "Grand Theft Auto 6 EXPOSED! SILENCES White Male Developers + Rockstar INFESTED with Woke DEI Agenda", and how white male employees of Rockstar were being forced to take on LinkedIn to retain their jobs.
This wasn’t just a surface-level overview tho- I spent over 30 minutes grappling with the biased, loaded questions that made it abundantly clear how pervasive the woke mind virus has really become - specifically now attacking our beloved gaming industry.
What I discovered during this course was nothing short of... ridiculous. There's a clear agenda at play here much bigger than Stacy, but she is happy to cash in on the real corporate agenda along the way...
A Deep Dive Into DEI Indoctrination
The course is run by what I could only ultimately conclude is an extreme race-baiting grifter named Stacey A. Gordon - and she's, of course, certified by LinkedIn.
The course purportedly aims to help participants “recognize and acknowledge your own biases” while outlining the supposed organizational benefits of uncovering biases in decision-making. But that is sus af... People like Stacy create their own companies often, and even invent titles that aren't even real, to sound important and authoritative.
Stacey claimed she’s a “diversity expert” (self-proclaimed?) that supposedly has experience in the gaming industry. She was at one point - even boasting about having shipped a game in the video game industry. She talked about the challenges she faced, the trials and tribulations through it all... but gave no actual details as to what specifically she was referring to... and even wilder, doing some brief research on her background - there’s no trace ANYWHERE of her ever working in the video game industry in any capacity. I checked the all-encompassing industry database Moby Games, nor does her LinkedIn list any game company affiliations in the past two decades. This clear lack of transparency raises some serious questions about her supposed real-life experiences and stories/qualifications—and whether her gaming credentials were ever even real in the first place.
As I worked through the course, it felt like the questions were designed to corner participants into one specific conclusion: that YOU are inherently biased, whether you realize it or not. Of course, there's nothing you can do about that being born a white straight male, except just apologize for having the audacity to be born the way you were. The entire experience reminded me of Matt Walsh’s satirical Am I Racist mockumentary (great flick btw, highly recommend checking out the fake industry that's been created with all this DEI grifting), where the absurdity of such "training" programs is exposed.
Gordon, who charges $10,000 - $20,000 for a speaking fee... in my humble opinion, fits perfectly into the mold of THE corporate grifter—someone who profits off pushing guilt-ridden narratives to companies desperate to appear socially progressive.
Biased Training for Biased Results
It’s important to highlight that this training wasn’t just made available to Rockstar employees—it was allegedly targeted at white employees. According to reports, 58 out of 60 employees forced to take this course were white, with the remaining two being of Asian descent. This exclusivity alone underscores a very glaring hypocrisy with a program that's claiming to combat bias while itself operating with such an obviously biased agenda in the first place.
What’s worse, the course’s content seemed less about fostering genuine inclusion and more about forcing participants to admit guilt, "submit," and obtain a certificate proclaiming they’d addressed their own unconscious biases. This kind of forced compliance feels less like any kind of real "education" and let's be honest here - more like ideological indoctrination.
A String of Grift-Laden Lies
Beyond the lack of evidence for Gordon’s supposed gaming credentials, the course itself was riddled with questionable claims and cherry-picked statistics. For instance, a preview graph cited in the training claimed a “1% Bias in favor of men applied over 20 years.”
These kind of vague and uncontextualized figures are emblematic of the extreme "alarmist" tone used to manipulate participants into unquestioningly accepting the premise of systemic bias.
Stacey Is Far From The Only DEI Grifter...
While I didn't try this one (yet), another challenger enders the DEI Grifting ring: Pat Wadors.
Rockstar also mandated another training module called “Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging” created by Pat Wadors.
She's a crazed-looking white woman, and similar to Stacy Gordon's grift, pushed equally biased perspectives at her course-goers as well.
Wador's program was yet another program filled to the brim with overreaching themes of guilt, submission, and corporate signaling remained consistent.
The DEI Grift at Rockstar
What stood out most during my livestream wasn’t just the absurdity of the course itself but the broader implications of its existence. Companies like Rockstar are pouring LOADS of money into these DEI initiatives, which are so obviously less about fostering any kind of authentic inclusivity and way more about creating a paper trail of compliance to appease the “woke” agenda. Stacey Gordon’s program epitomizes this grift, leveraging corporate fear of bad PR to profit from frankly some pretty dubious "training" materials.
Pushing these kinds of tactics underscore how just far Rockstar has fallen from its once-iconic reputation as a rebellious, trend-setting studio. Now, instead of blazing new trails in gaming, they’re drowning in DEI pandering and corporate virtue-signaling. Man... that reported BILLION-dollar GTA6 budget is looking mighty sketchy right about now.
The Industry’s Wake-Up Call
The Rockstar DEI training debacle SHOULD serve as a wake-up call to everyone about the dire state of the gaming industry.
Programs like Stacey Gordon’s are not only invasive and biased - but also - perfectly emblematic of how corporations are being infiltrated by individuals using “inclusivity” as a vehicle for their own personal profit. If this trend continues unchecked, creativity, innovation, and genuine diversity in gaming will be replaced by hollow virtue-signaling and bland narratives.
For those of us who still value artistic integrity and freedom of thought in the gaming world, it’s time to speak up. The industry doesn’t need more grifters like Stacey Gordon and Pat Wadors—it needs real creators who care about making great games for actual gamers.
...Oh and yeah, after multiple failed attempts, I actually did end up passing the final exam. By sheer dumb luck and brute force.

stacey a. gordon. Always remember that name.
It’s obvious that these people are creating very lucrative careers for themselves by exploiting minorities and pushing their racist, sexist agenda in the name of “diversity.” Its a shame that these companies are buying into it. If Rockstar is drinking the Kool-Aid, then they’ll unfortunately learn the consequences when the game is finally released. As I’ve said many times before, these companies’ main goal is to entertain as many people as possible. If they want to focus on a small percentage of their audience in the name of “inclusion,” then they will fail. This is capitalism, folks.
If there was ever a time for someone (Elon?) to start a based, non-woke game studio, it’s now. There are billions of dollar…
I've said it before if this game flops i can Rockstar filing for bankruptcy
