See, I think you have it misconstrued (with all due respect of course). As an example, people bitched about BF1 because the inclusion of a woman with a disability in the trailer, however, the game ended up being pretty solid. EA and Dice took the bitching as “they won’t hire women and lgbtq individuals”. So EA and Dice begin to hire with more “equality” in mind, because god forbid they piss the Twitter mob off. Now, with lesser experienced and qualified individuals in dev positions, we are seeing increasingly shittier games. BFV was pretty terrible at launch, and look at BF2042. I personally don’t think it had anything to do with inclusion of some of what people call “wholeness” being included in the game, I think the problem is the inclusion of said things AND a shitty game because unqualified individuals are creating them.My issue stems from the fact that I don't actually care who or what the characters color/creed/whatever is BUT, when it is changed because the dev is trying to inject more of something "woke" into a game just for the sake of it, then I have an issue. And I have that issue not only in gaming but in film/tv as well.
Bending the knee to try to get points with a certain group of people is pathetic, pandering bullshit. Stick to your vision. If that includes a black female lead then go for it! I'm all for it! But to change it from a white guy to a black female lead cause you wanted more representation just doesn't work for me. We are living in the more representative age for everyone. The least racist time for everyone! Stop pretending we are living in the racist south USA from 50-100 years ago and realize things are FAR better than they've ever been in all facets of life, and especially issues with race.
