Perhaps unsurprisingly Google isn't above virtue-signaling with their "progressiveness" and wokeness. What can be a bit surprising is where they decide to do so. How idiotic they can be about it.
Google finally launched their "Stadia" service, which is effectively a service where you can play video games remotely, running on Google's own servers (and thus the graphical quality is not dependent on your device). Not very surprisingly, that turned out to be quite a shitshow, but I'm not going into that now.
What I find most hilarious about the whole thing is that part of the Stadia service is a custom game controller made by Google, and for whatever unfathomable reason Google could not resist the temptation to virtue-signal about it.
You see, they are proud of the fact that their controller is "gender neutral", and thus, apparently, garners to people of all sexes.
What the actual fuck is a "gender neutral" controller, and how exactly are other controllers not "gender neutral"? It's just a regular game controller. It doesn't have anything special about it.
How exactly is it different from any other game controller, that makes it "gender neutral", and any of those other controllers not?
There's virtue-signaling, and there's absolutely idiotic virtue-signaling that makes absolutely no sense.
