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..

they are as progressive as they are liberal... just they changing the meaning of the words...

And sure political choices and narrative can be part of a game, and even if they want they can make a game that pushes diversity and equality themes, but that is it, if they want. But when SJW make pointless attacks because someone doesn't adhere to their crazy notions it's better, because given enough time they dig their own grave.

Oh for sure, I definitely support diversity in games, hell Overwatch is one of my favorite games lately heh. But yeah at the same time - forcing it upon a game; especially one which all evidence indicate does not call for it, is a slippery slope to Authoritarianism. Much like in other aspects of society, it should be organic, not forced upon.
