| KLXVER said: It usually is about forced diversity just for the sake of it, it feels disingenuous. |
Who decides if diversity if forced or not?
Why is it different if a gaming studio says "we need to make sure our character is an attractive white man" so that it'll sell?
| KLXVER said: It is the writing that is the main problem. Its not that they only want pretty characters, its that the less attractive characters feels like a statement from the developer. I think a lot of this is just people being so sick of wokeness that any indication of a game being so will set them off. |
| KLXVER said: Of course you can have a conversation about how badly written a nonbinary character is without accusing eachoter of anything. I just think that is a conversation that is very difficult to keep under control on a public forum where anyone can just join the conversation. |
Shouldn't require any "control" in the first place.
People are just saying what they're mad about. If you're mad about bad writing, you just say that.
If you're mad about a game forcing a woman with a shaved head on you, that's not really the same thing.
For example Intergalactic is "woke", and I've seen several people talk about how "we're playing as a man from prison". Am I supposed to take that they're complaining about the writing in the trailer somehow?
And critically, if you don't want to be grouped in with those people, and you want to talk about bad writing, maybe just stop labelling yourself that way?
