Acquaintance tells me Ubisoft stock is crashing cause they doubled down on "alphabet people" (hexbear.net)

Wtf does that mean

I sorta asked what he meant and he looked at me like I was dumb and said "you know, the Ls, the Ds, the Gs". I'm guessing he meant LGBTQ people, but idfk. The guy gives me bad reactionary vibes, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I look it up afterwards and most places talking about it online are accurately pointing out the company just sucks and management is awful, but I feel like that's been common knowledge for like a decade at this point.

Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I'm way outta the loop

Ubisoft does suck because of alphabet people, but in the sense that they toe the ideological line of the CIA and co., leading to icons like their butchery of Marx

The acquaintance is just a loser tourist who has no appreciation for Ubi sucking for a very long time and just wants to attack minorities or let others do so.

You probably misheard (or they poorly enunciated) "the Ts" for trans people, but my headcanon is that they wanted to do the d-slur for lesbians but forgot that they just said "the Ls".

Actually, this is the first interpretation I had of alphabet people, but I thought it'd be ridiculous to mention the CIA, so I asked "you mean like google?"
