You need to stop jumping to conclusions.

Games are better when they are more inclusive. Complaining about that says so much about you as a person that honestly I'm not even offended that you didn't read my rant because [insert overplayed joke about conservatives not being educated here]. 

Based on the other responses you're getting from others who are far more level-headed than I am should tell you just how far off the mark you actually are. This crusade against decency is just so weird, dude. 

Games are typically best when they're made the way the devs want to make them without being pressured by anything. People or money. Just a reasonable if not ambitious goal and smart guidelines on how to get there.

Should teachers be renamed to crusaders?

the-pi-guy (below) said a game exclusively about Native Americans wouldn't be a problem for most people who stand behind woke. Are they far more level headed than you? Who's off the mark?

It's not hard to see why either. If you're a fan of historical accuracy in games let's say, then that genre will no longer exist with a full blown woke culture. If you wanted to make a game about Native Americans before the white man came around, you couldn't, because it would lack the diversity and inclusion necessary. You would need to have whites, blacks, etc, in the game. You also couldn't just have deer and bison, you would need to have monkeys, tigers, koala's, etc. It's obvious that makes no sense, if you wanted to make the game as historically accurate as possible. So do those type of games become unacceptable, because getting rid of them would be making things less inclusive and less diverse.

This isn't what is happening either. You don't seem to understand what people are actually pushing for, and why. 

Most of the people you're complaining about, wouldn't be bothered by a game that was exclusively about Native Americans. 

The pushback is because the industry is so disproportionately straight white male protagonists. To the point where Sony was worried that having a woman for the main character was going to be detrimental to the game's success. Chances are absurdly high that 15 years ago, that a game about Native Americans you are suggesting would have been all white people for no apparent reason, without the pushback. 

Does Runa216 (above) understand? They seem to disagree with you on inclusivity and exclusivity when it comes to worthy games.
