Is lack of gender/racial diversity valid criticism?

I will pass on Horizon and TLoU2 because I do not like playing as a female, but devs should make the game they want to make.  Like I do not bash them for using female leads, the SJW need to shut their mouths and stop trying to shove their agenda down our throats.

 

All in all, my problem is not with female leads.  It is with how pathetic the SJW generally are on issues that are truly meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

I really don't understand not playing a perfectly good game because the lead is a woman. Like does it really matter?

What would you say to someone who says "well that game looks great, and I want to play it, but the main character is over 6 foot 2, and as a 5 foot 5 person I just can't relate to that person and won't play it"? I bet you'd say they're an idiot. 

Because it breaks the immersion for me.  I am a male and have no desire to identify as a female in anything, including gaming.  I have tried other good games with female leads, but never complete them because I lose interest due to lack of immersion.  It is personal preference, and denying that is a major reason why SJW sound so damn retarded.

 

In their mind, if you do not see things their way you are a bigot/sexist/religious extremist.  I do not see it this way.  I will not give my money to Horizon or TLoU2 because I know I will not enjoy the game because of their design choice, but I do not fault them for it.  Nor do I fault a female gamer who would pass on Uncharted but play every Tomb Raider game ever to be released.

 

That is the difference.

The why should you pass on games that may very well be amazing? Neither Horizon or TLOU2 have a female lead because of "sjw", they are originally designed that way. 

You are right, they do not seem to cater to SJW, however that does not solve my issue.  My issue is that I cannot immerse myself in a game where I portray a female.  As I said above, tried it many times and it always bores me.

 

It is all personal preference my friend.  I do not bash the devs for portrayal of their vision for a game.  However they will not get my money either as I will not spend it on something I know I will not like, regardless of what the general population thinks of the games.
