1.) The Alan Turing thing was just an example of the government being used. I wasn't saying it was a recent example.
2.) Everything else still happens today. The entire reason the word "woke" is trying to be used as an insult is because certain people want to deprive LGBT groups and black people and women of their rights and representation.
| EricHiggin said: Most people? What about the minority? Shouldn't they be heard? Shouldn't they be respected? Even you left them out here or disregarded them. |
People are not monoliths. They don't all agree or feel the same things.
Quite the opposite, I acknowledged that people outside of that group exist.
| EricHiggin said: I don't know of anyone who complains about making an accurate war game where woman are part of it where they were legitimately part of it. Where I've seen complaints is when the game is supposed to be accurate, and you have woman as a General or Captain etc, when that wasn't a thing. Those are the kind of cases where a game like that can still be widely accepted, as long as the developer or publisher is clear that the game is not based on historical accuracy. People don't like to feel like they are being tricked or lied to, even if not intended. |
What games are supposed to be accurate?
| EricHiggin said: Some people don't know and some are just on board to be jerks. That happens with everything, yes. I'm not getting into pronouns or being offended because that's an infinite game of who is offended by what exactly and who's the bigger offender. I'm not going to try to bend you or anyone to my will by making you stop saying things you want to say and force you to say what I want you to about me. You can say whatever you want about me and I'll deal with it, offended or not. |
The problem is not people being offended or not.
The problem is people are being jerks and they're hiding behind "I'm not the one being pushy"
| EricHiggin said: 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? Does Runa216 (above) understand? They seem to disagree with you on inclusivity and exclusivity when it comes to worthy games. |
I don't know what part you think is disagreeing with Runa.
