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. 

I agree with this, Ghostbusters got hated on because it's forced diversity, the film makers did it just to show how diverse they are rather than focusing on making the best/funniest Ghostbusters movie they could.

If someone like Melissa McCarthy or Kristen Wiig auditioned for the role and they were funnier than any of the men who auditioned and got hired for that reason I dont think there would have been a fraction of the backlash.

It shouldn't matter what gender, race or sexual orientation someone has, if they are the best for the role than they should get it.

I agree completely.
