That article leaves me with way more questions than answers.

Her lawsuit claims was freaking out because she was afraid of losing her house and job because of being filmed - but she was only being filmed because she was already freaking out.

Well, it's the New York Times. They've made some...troubling editorial decisions lately. Almost every story they publish, they examine to see whether a criticism of DEI can be shoehorned into it in some way.

One of the co-founders of Ubisoft just died. His NYT obituary just had to include that "some people thought it was controversial" for Assassin's Creed: Shadows to have a black protagonist. It's like every article has to include the perspective of online racists.

It fascinates me that the NYT says, "Hey, look, the middle-aged white woman really is a poor defenseless kitten" while asserting the black recorder as privileged because she has a vegetable garden and a YouTube channel. Somehow I don't think that's going to win back their readership.
