It's not whether or not all developers face the issue it's whether there is disproportionate funding that favors one class over the others. That doesn't mean that finding funding is easy for anyone just that it isn't fair due to bigotry. That also doesn't mean all the people offering funding are out and out bigots just that the structure of things is such that it's harder for some groups than others.

And why the need to constantly speak in alternatives/negatives? Here are statements that are easy to understand: 1) Finding funding is difficult for everyone. 2) Group affiliation does not inherently grant entitlement to funding or financial support. 3) If 'disproportionate funding' occurs, that's simply the reality of how resources are allocated. It doesn't necessarily allow you to claim racism or bigotry.
- meheleventyone 2y ago> If 'disproportionate funding' occurs, that's simply the reality of how resources are allocated Sure, that's just a tautological statement but it's pretty thought terminating to stop there and not consider if there are some factors involved in why they were allocated that way. I know this is a political football in the US but ignoring reality is a bad idea: https://www.polygon.com/24058266/video-game-industry-funding-gap https://www.polygon.com/24058266/video-game-industry-funding... https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/31/black-game-developers-diversity-push-is-lots-talk-little-progress/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/31/black-...
