Diversity is one of the most important things that keeps this world alive. Languages, cultures, sensibilities, politics... And, of course, this extends to media. So, no, lack of diversity is never a good thing. |
I disagree. Equal opportunity is fair, equal out come isn't, equal outcome can only be achieved by discrimination. That's why i am totally against quota's in buissness, politics, science, media for women and minority races. because we cease to be a meritocracy. Say for examplr if in buissness there are 10 male applicants for every woman (with the same qualifications) then why is it a problem if all board rooms have a ratio of 10 to 1? To create parity you would need to discriminate against 9 out of every 10 men. Diversity is fine when it happens because of choice and merit, forcing diversity is wrong.
Who cares if so many American games are popular, it is not their fault they are so good at creating a product that the world wants to buy. I don't give a damn wether a game is made in an " under represented" country in africa, south america or if it is made by the familiar companies in the USA, Canada or Japan. All that matters is wether the game is good. Where it was made will never influence my decision to buy or not to

Oh, yeah, of course. I didn't go into the subject further, but I was talking more about equal opportunity. You can't obviously force anyone to watch, play or listen to any media just because it's under represented, as you say. I always though that possitive discrimination is stupid and we'll never achieve anything with these politics. But people must choose whatever they like, and choose in a wide variety of media, without restrictions of any kind.

nstead of american bashing (not you but other posters) I think we should recognise why many american games are popular. It is because games like Halo, Skyrim, Gears of war, Fallout, Dragon age, Forza, Uncharted, The last of us and God of war are so damn good.
