But there is something self righteous about getting your panties in a twist every time someone mentions women or minorities. Battlefield is a bad example because ea went about handling the controversy in the worst way possible alongside simply being a scummy company all together but that same excuse doesn't apply to people complaining about Ellie being gay in tLoU or people complaining about miles Morales being in the new Spiderman game. Complaining about there being too many minorites a game is just as annoying and whiny as complaining about there not being enough. |
No one cares about whamen and minorities in video games. People don't want their fav IP being hijacked by sjws and turned into some propaganda film or game. They also don't want something to be hamfisted about politics. It's that simple. Take that Ghostbusters film for example. It was hijacked and changed to fit a political agenda. Filmmakers gloat/virtue signal on twitter and in interviews about changing it to suit their political agenda then fans get mad about it and complains to filmmakers. Filmmakers mischaracterize the valid complaints about the IP being changed to suit a political agenda into "we hate whamen". Fans get madder. Film does poorly.
TLoU is being hamfisted about it instead of being subtle in the first game. It's gonna turn some people off from it.
With Miles Morales, it comes off as hijacking for political agenda. Peter Parker was killed off in Ultimate Spider-Man and replaced by Miles. It's a sore spot. Marvel in general has been on a sjw kick with its characters.
