David Bédard SOON GDC. 3rd+ Co-founder at Sweet Baby Inc 28m Edited + Follow For the past 4 months, my company (Sweet Baby Inc) has been targeted by a far-right harassment campaign/ conspiracy theory. This is a tough situation for me, my co-founder Kim Belair, our entire team, and our collaborators. More than the frustrations caused by the harassment, and the precautions we're putting in place as a result of that, the toughness comes from the fact that this entire campaign is based on misinformation. Misinformation so wild and left-field (or right-field, I guess) that it's impossible to even engage with it to combat it. So, we spoke with press to clear things up about exactly what we do, and how we do it. Adding our voices to this conversation felt necessary, because what is happening to us is something that has happened before in this industry, and will happen again. It happens to not just us, but also to countless other devs, players, journalists, and creators. Everyone who has reached out to me with kind words of support has also asked me what they can do to help, and it took me a while to find an answer to this question. But I think I finally know. This is what you can do to help. Check in on your marginalized colleagues, and friends in this industry. Make sure they're okay. Let them know that they are loved, that they are appreciated, that they are welcome and that they are talented. Tell them you're not going to let this kind of hate push them out of this industry. Tell them that things like this won't scare all of their community away - that they are protected, and that they have a place here, now more than ever. I'd be really grateful if you did that.
