Yes it does matter. Why make videos for different groups of people and exclude othe groups. Microsoft should be ashamed at themselves and take down these videos or they should makes ones for Asians, Heterosexuals, Caucasians, and Males.

I think you are just being politically correct because your own demographic is possibly not represented?

But I will tell you why those groups got represented and others didn't. They petitioned Microsoft for it, they worked for it, they did the hard yards, if you wan't Asians and White men to be included, then start doing the hard work for next year.

Microsoft should have denied the petitions. I get they are trying to be more inclusive and that great because gamers come from all races, genders, and sexualities but by making videos for Women, Blacks, Latinos, and the LGBTQ community they arent showing as much attention to other demographics. Its either make the videos and include everyone or dont make them at all.

These threads are the ones that makes me lose faith in humanity and quit life.

These kinds of complaints are always dumbfounding.
I find complaints like these parallel to whining when your 4-8 years old that your parent's aren't paying as much attention to you as the new born baby. Except adults are doing it...

Hell no.
I would rather you stopped being politically correct and stop acting all "offended" over something so small and insignificant.

It literally doesn't affect you in the slightest if LGBTQI people were represented in an Xbox video or not.
Try being happy for these people instead.

Arent the majority of hispanics (especially in South America) caucasian? Even in Mexico, most people carry primarily caucasian blood (European or Middle Eastern ancestry), even if they are more mixed than others.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Do you think it is a good use of your time to start a thread every time something isn't directed to at you specifically?

Well these videos go out of their way to exclude people like me.

This makes me think of a conversation I had with my dad when I was little.

"How come you get a Father's Day but I don't get a Kid Day?"

"Because every day is Kid Day!"

Straight white males are the most privileged group on Earth right now. They (well, us) simply don't need any special attention. Obviously other groups shouldn't get any advantage over straight white males either, but this isn't really advantage. This is just extra attention, and I can see one reason for it: to promote the groups that are somehow at a less advantageous position in general. This is a push for equality. Straight white males have almost no need for it. In my opinion, it is you who should be ashamed for not realizing that and not Microsoft for doing this.
