Or, you know, there is no hidden liberal agenda forcing them to do this and this is just their honest opinion? Maybe?
I don't get this gut reaction towards basic human decency that it can't possibly be genuine and has to be forced somehow.
I've seen the same thing with people claiming developers were succumbing to 'SJW pressure' when they had women/lgbt characters in leading roles (there's also notable exeptions like TLOU, where at least to my knowlegde this didn't happen). People seem more willing to believe that there are corrupt liberal executives in this world who force poor studios to include diverse characters than the more reasonable assumption that the developers just like having these characters in their games and executives care much more about microtransactions and not upsetting the status quo too much.
And yes, creative environments tend to breed and attract more open mindsets, but if you had a 'dissenting opinion' from the consensus and feared repercussions for it the smart thing to do (as a whole studio) would be to just stay quiet. Especially since Insomniac are the first game studio to take a stance on this to my knowledge. There is no bandwagon in the games industry to jump on yet. So to assume that this is not their real opinion and to imply that they in fact are secretly in favor of the policys they are protesting is a little mind boggling. Not not mention seriously lacking respect for other peoples opinions and values.
