I'm poking fun at how these words are constantly used way beyond what they actually mean.
Like how "woke" seems to just mean "anything that bugs me", even though the definition of the word is pretty much just "aware/informed".
| EricHiggin said: Accuracy and creativity can severely clash at times. Heavily suggesting DEI be implemented when accuracy is the goal could obviously be a problem. |
Sure that could be a problem.
But the goal is almost never accuracy. Even when games try to be based with accurate history, there are pretty much always liberties that are going to be taken.
Sometimes that's done for story reasons, or pacing reasons, or because it's fun. Movies, TV shows, fictional books are meant to be entertainment, they're not meant to inform. There has never been an actual standard that they should be accurate.
The first Ghost of Tsushima isn't historically accurate. There are no characters based on real ones.
The Order has an electric gun, and werewolves.
The Oppenheimer movie makes up conversations to play up to the audience.
Most things fail pretty hard at accuracy. Yet most things don't have people complaining about them.
A lot of actually accurate things get criticized, because it doesn't fit in with what people expect. And a lot of actually inaccurate things get overlooked, for reasons.
Even Ghost of Tsushima had a woman helping out the main character as a fighter. Why wasn't it a problem before?
| EricHiggin said: Those who are totally against DEI anywhere at all, and those who are totally for it everywhere always, are being ridiculous. |
And who is pushing for it to be "everywhere always"?
