If you want to introduce more diverse characters into mainstream gaming, don’t do it at the expense of fan favourites. Because then fans will not only hate the character but more damaging is connecting the dots of hate and characters diversity together. Going forward any sequel with a diverse new character will be met with animosity not because of their identity but because their entrance means replacing one that people spent years investing in.
That’s the problem in a nutshell. Not homophobia or hating women.
