Sweet Baby Inc doesn't even remotely do what many think it does, but on the modern internet, that doesn't matter

I'm not trying to convince anyone. I just wanted to help you.

Pro tip: dO yOuR rEsEaRcH!!1! Has never convinced or helped anyone.

I am willing to have my mind changed if someone were to actually show me any evidence of SBI being bad for some reason. The Steam group says nothing other than "SBI worked on these games," implying they are bad but not even making the step to say why. When I try to ask people why I should care if SBI is involved I get:

  1. "I don't have to explain myself" which is true, but does nothing to discredit the claims of bigotry.
  2. "SBI is woke" which we all know is the dog whistle of the bigot, and
  3. "Do your own research" which is the desperate cry of people who believe things without evidence or sources.

Showing me one of these "terrible" tweets by SBI would sure shut me up if it was anywhere near as terrible as claimed.
