Ugh, I hate shit like this so much you have no idea. One website that calls themselves "progressive gaming" that is partnered with a site I write for wrote an angry rant disguised as an "editorial" basically saying the game is a "white man fantasy" and that there should be "people of color," despite taking place in Medieval Eastern Europe.. The fact that they can call themselves progressive after a write-up like that is laughable to me. Like, just what exactly is "progressive" about racism?
I don't necessarily think politics should stay out of games, as games can be a form of art, and art has always been a commentary of society. I do however believe that IDENTITY politics should stay the hell out of games, and basically - don't throw your racist hang ups and your divisive racial view of society on others, particularly artists who, the last thing they want is censorship..
