the joke from youtube video people linked:
Visual art becomes more and more complex.
whole teams are required assest for games, that historically could have been made by a single artist.
These days it could take up to 8 people, to make a single peice of armor (in a game).
*pulls out sock puppet*
Puppet says... "uuuuh"
"teaseing high pitch voice" : How many gamergates does it take to make a single peice of armor?
tim: Oh gawd... I dont know.
puppet says: 50! 1 to do the modeling (of the item), 1 to do the materials, and 40!! to tweet, that is not your shield. (#thatisnotyourshield)
That is the joke.
The item peice, could be any... even a shield.
I dont think he ment it as offensive.
Hell he could be trying to help the "issue" by bringing attention to it, in the form of a joke.
To me there is no part of that, that is racist.
