Earlier this week, she went to Twitter, where she wrote: “I think mediocre white men will still be On Here bragging about their mediocrity as if it were a hilarious anecdote instead of pure nonsense, so thank you for establishing that baseline in the beginning of 2021. ”
In a follow-up, she added: “Imagine writing a topic of twenty tweets about deceiving your nine-year-old son, what a perfectly good waste of carbon.”
His criticism of white men in general came in response to a tweet from podcast host John Roderick, where he challenged his nine-year-old daughter to open a can of beans with a can opener.
Now, as Disney Star Wars Is Dumb first reported, Ireland is telling Star Wars fans not to buy The High Republic. Ireland responded to a tweet from Motherboard writer Gita Jackson.
Jackson wrote: “Content creators: it used to be common folk wisdom to note that you share your political beliefs for fear of losing fans. how have the last four years changed that? are you still afraid of losing fans? “
In a follow-up, she wrote, “related, if you are good at slaughtering your idiot audience, do you have a secondary revenue stream? patreon? or is it just ad revenue? “
Ireland responded by stating, “The problem is that if you don’t like my politics, my beliefs and my moral compass, you won’t like my books, so let’s go ahead and save everyone some time.”
She added in a subsequent tweet, “Besides, there’s like an Amazon or Starbucks warehouse around every corner right now and I had worse jobs, so YOLO.”
Ireland’s comments may sound familiar, is the same advice that EA creative chief Patrick Soderlund gave to Battlefield fans when promoting Battlefield V.

Soderlund stated: “In [women] inside Battle field, this is something that the development team pushed. Battlefield V it has a lot to do with the unseen, the unsaid, the untouched. The common perception is that there were no women in World War II. There were a ton of women who fought in World War II and participated in the war. “
He continued, saying, “We feel like in today’s world – I have a 13 year old daughter who, when the trailer was released and she saw the whole flak, she asked me, ‘Dad, why is this happening? She plays Fifteen days, and says, ‘I can be a girl in Fifteen days. Why are people so upset about this? ‘She looked at me and couldn’t understand. And I was like, okay, as a father, how the hell am I going to answer that, and I just said, ‘You know what? You’re right. This is not right. ‘”
Soderlund then insulted Battlefield fans: “These are uneducated people – they don’t understand that this is a plausible scenario, and listen: this is a game. And today the games are diverse in genre, like never before. There are many women who want to play and male players who want to play like a badass [woman]. “
Finally, he suggested that people not buy the game: “And we don’t accept any criticism. We defend the cause, because I think people who don’t understand, well, you have two options: accept or not buy the game. I’m fine with or. It is not alright. “

As our readers know, EA would eventually admit that Battlefield V sank and that the company lost its profit target because of it.
CEO Andrew Wilson explained: “The video game industry continues to grow during a year of intense competition and transformational change. The third quarter was a difficult quarter for ElectronicArts and we did not meet our expectations. We are now applying our company’s strengths to improve our execution and focus on delivering great new games and long-term live services to our players. “
“We are very excited about Apex Legends, the upcoming launch of Anthem and a wide range of new experiences that we will bring to our global communities in the coming fiscal year,” he added.

He would then specifically address the failure of Battlefield V, “and I think of ‘Battlefield 5’ more holistically, I think we didn’t do a good job of building momentum early in the project. And I think about it not just in the context of development, but I think about it in the context of broader execution in relation to the whole campaign. “
“Our release did not resonate as strongly as we would like with players and we were never really able to achieve it and our competitors continued to gain momentum, be it ‘Fortnite’ or ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ or ‘Call of Duty,” he added.
He concluded: “A combination of a poor start to our marketing campaign along with what I think was a longer development cycle that put us in a more competitive window and the amplification of that competitive window against some of these underperforming factors it’s how we resulted in ‘Battlefield.’ “
Star Wars is already in a difficult situation, as Disney reported a drop in merchandise sales after the release of the sequential trilogy films. Solo was also the first Star Wars movie to be a total failure at the box office.
Telling people not to buy your product is just a recipe for disaster, as the developers at EA and Battlefield understand perfectly.
