lol i'm not against trans people btw. but you have to admit that the contributions to society from people of color are minimized compared to whites.
like, who invented the nes?
i don't know their name but i know who steve jobs is. for some reason i know who elon musk is despite the fact that he contributed nothing of value to humanity whatsoever.
what's the name of that chinese women who scooped openAI by contributing to an opensource AI model? she came and went without much fanfare.
but you're creating a meme for a white woman who didn't accomplish much as far as i can tell.
name the person who created the first nes emulator or snes emulator?
bet you can't, even though the terrain was much rockier in those days.
The website you're looking for is over here.
Also, the first NES emulator was called NESticle. I have a feeling it wasn't developed by a woman of color.
EDIT: My bad. NESticle was the first well-known emulator. The first emulator was released in 1990 by Haruhisa Udagawa, for a computer called the FM Towns that was only released in Japan. No points for diversity when you're in a country where you're the majority race.
