Most artists have intentions when they create their art. If they choose to use their medium to help with trans/lesbian representation, I don't see how that's a bad thing at all. The only people who have a problem with that are bigots. If they choose to make a story about the nature of revenge and how it consumes you, then so be it. If they think that killing off a character makes sense in the context of the story, then that's their right as artists. IF they make you play as the bad guy/girl, then that's an interesting commentary on multiple viewpoints. Getting angry about any of this shows more about the maturity of the lot of you than the quality of the game. You're perfectly entitled to be angry about these things, but just know that you don't get to also be pissed off when someone is critical of you in turn. Either criticism is allowed on both sides of the debate or it's not. You can't just cherry-pick what's convenient for you and get bent out of shape when something doesn't cater to your tastes. And you really, really shouldn't be stirring up shit because a company has an agenda and is making moves to actively add inclusiveness in their stories. If you are, then it shows you're just not a good person and don't deserve to have your regressive, immature voice heard. I know that's not where this thread has been for most of its duration, but we all know damn well that like 90% of the hate this game gets is 'but lesbian! but (potential) trans woman! Bah! I hate it when companies try to push their SJW agenda!' |
Not a bad thing at all,almost everything has some political bias/agenda.
Execution is ofcourse important,how a character is written makes me like or dislike them no matter how they look or what sex they have and that is how many people see it but people see an agenda better now because it is attached to something more unknown to them and assume the creaters behind it found it enough to add diversity as a shallow layer without depth,does not make them all bigots against trans etc... but question why the directors thought it was enough to make characters so shallow.
Same people you might think are bigots did like this animation here that is filled with genders and difference in sexuality,difference is the writing that made them more likeable.
Where is the positivity about people liking this much diversity and where was the positivity about people liking diversity before,it existed but it is forgotten so soon and like moths to flames(dark souls,yes i'm a fanboy) the negative stands out more and gives people a twisted view at the quantity of the actual bigots.
