I cannot be bothered to boycott media that's labelled woke, feminist, misogynist, racist, DEI, transphobic and all other kinds of nasty words, unless it is very blatantly a political work. Life is too short to get worked up over some character designs in a video game or sit and look for small little details to get angry about, that's just not something I want to spend my energy on. Art should be as free as possible from limitations imposed by external actors. |
You have horrible writers that want LGBT+ representation and so they change lore to suit their case.
And make up some weird Love interest between two characters that actually hate/dislike one another.... because you want more gay representation ingame.
Do you not see how that can be annoying to people that read the comics?
As far as I know.... Logan is just a "straight" male.
Him having a romantic past with Saber tooth is crazy.
(also one is a serial killer (that has even killed a logans Girlfriend at one point) and the other is supposed to be the good guy)
(they are kinda alike, both suffer with rage.... and one controls it and funnels it into something positive... the other one not so much)
He is supposed to be the bad guy. Not the normal'ish guy, that used to be a past romantic love interest thingy.
"To me the big Xbox franchises still very much focus on the dude-bro audience. Which is fine, if they actually delivered the goods."
Part of the reason they are not delivering "the goods" is because of the people making choices like above.
Sweetbaby inc ect.
You cannot convince me, this makes for better games.
It is actually hurting them.
"Maybe I am not in touch with public discourse anymore, since I pulled the plug on social media, but LGBT skins in Halo sounds like an issue for a very small minority of people"
Multiplayer is whatever.... but it is silly.... their Armour is meant to be camouflage / military style to look like it "fits in", in the military.
Does a rainbow colored Armour do that? It breaks the "concept" or world building of the game, and injects social political points of view into a game.
Some people (majority) would rather not see that in games. They want to relax and not have stuff shoved in their face, when they are trying to play a game.
At best it is just a waste of time, to spend resources doing stuff like that.
At worse, it is off putting and hurting the game, as there are people that will actually stop playing if they see their game treated like that.
People that might have bought it, that then don't because "this is too silly" ect.
You can argue there are people that are LBGT that want these skins ect... but they represent like 0.0001% of the buyers or something.
You likely do more harm than good here, in terms of sales ect.
Again instead of focusing on stuff like that, I would rather they spend that time fixing bugs or something... anything else that could better the game.
