Is lack of gender/racial diversity valid criticism?

Really? I think we have quite a decent amount of white males.

 

Uncharted, call of duty, mario, splatoon, final fantasy, kingdom Hearts, the last of us, God of war, etc all have white male characters.

 

Not complaining about how many white male characters we have, but we do have a healthy amount 

If by healthy amount you mean 90-95% of human characters in games are white, sure. 

Not that I even personally have that big of a problem with it, but seeing as how the buying base of games is pretty diverse, I think it wouldn't kill devs to reflect their own buying base, which sure as hell isn't 90-95% white males. Some games are doing it, it's fine. 

Well, I never said it was too much. Simply said it was a healthy amount :p

 

Not like it's the end of the world if we see non white characters though. Like you said, I could care less. I only hate it when they try too hard to force it (cough fantastic four cough).
