Microsoft unveiled more than just the future of identity-proofing when its presenters opened the Microsoft Into Focus: Security video presentation with arbitrary statements about their appearance and identity.
The future once looked like chrome buildings and flying cars. Now it's Big Tech megacorporations with cringeworthy PC politics. Microsoft tweeted out video footage of a massive presentation in front of a virtual audience inviting consumers to “Gain insights on how to react to security threats and prepare for the next frontier in identity proofing.” Gender and racial identity appeared to take center stage first, however. After introducing herself by name, Product Marketing Manager Natalia Godyla explained “I’m a Caucasian woman with long blond hair, and I go by she/her,” only then explaining her position at Microsoft. Co-host of Security Unlocked podcast for Microsoft Nic Fillingham followed suit, alerting the audience that he is “a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard. I go by he/him, and I’m a security evangelist here at Microsoft.”
Announcing appearance and race as an introduction to their respective appearance during the video presentation did not appear to be a fluke. Rather, it appeared to be a policy held by Microsoft, as even those following Godyla and Fillingham introduced themselves in a similar fashion.

At what point is the cut off for "guilt"?
The day I was born was the cut off for me. LOL!
In the garden of Eden.
It's always been my opinion that Eve should have gone for the pear.
For me it was when I put the money down for the house!
Eve already had a nice pair. Oh, "pear", right.
Microsoft Woke-Fest ... PING!
This isn't really a "Windows" ping, just a "Microsoft" ping...
Now, we are going to allow GEEKS to take over the world?
In introducing themselves...I am a caucasian, blonde, etc., they forgot one thing...OH and I am GOOFY.
Thought it was a satire of The Dating Game or E-harmony.
I am an Elizabethan English Hottentot transgendered lesbian.
Pronouns: we/them/its
When you talk to me, I prefer...no, I demand...thee/thou/thy/thine, and get the verbs right!
stating hair length/color? to WHO?? blind people???
if they are blind from birth they have no idea what blond is...
Wait, we’re supposed to be colorblind but yet have to identify ourselves first by race, sexual preference, and what we think we are? Progressivism is confusing and contradictory, no wonder there’s so many anxiety meds.
The major huge corporations have all gone over to the wrong side. I don’t understand why. Do they think that by kissing up to democrats the dems will spare them from forthcoming legislation?
Let’s patronize mom and pop businesses where possible. We can’t avoid dealing with the microsofts, the facebooks, the googles, the amazons and the twitters.
My thought exactly. Fookin’ wokenista assclowns.
That too.
They forgot what MLK said—what mattered was the “content of your character”.
Each speaker should have announced the “content of their character”:
“I am a spineless weasel.”
“I am a phony. I pretend to care about people but actually all I care about is making money.”
“I have sex with sheep and pigs—because I am a pig.”
etc etc etc
LSD isn’t this crazy...
Should be meek, not geek. But such it is.
That was my conclusion as well. I refuse to believe that the heads of these companies actually believe this woke stuff. I think they’re in the mindset of “well, we better get on this train that’s not stopping, before we get crushed under it”. In short, they’re cowards.
“Hai! I Long Duk Dong. I Asian man with black hair and go by he/him. I wearing a red argyle sweater, tan trousers, and red shoes. No, I not retarded!”
I'm thinking "fire-roasted snake loins".
