That doesn't mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people

The fuck are you talking about? No one is forcing anyone to “have all genders or races or include trans people”

This you bro?

    That's the anti-woke propaganda the text you're quoting is complaining about. If you listen to anyone right wing long enough this is what they'll bring up eventually. it's "fake news" basically -- very dangerous fake news.

    Perhaps you misunderstood the poster?

    Edit: nope, I did.

    No he is misrepresenting what’s going on and telling on himself.

    In what way? I don't even know what "telling on himself" means. I'm just expression my opinion about this. Why is that so upsetting?

    yeah, I think there's been a terrible miscommunication somewhere. It might help if you clarify -- do you yourself believe that there is a sizeable contingent of people who want to force games to include all walks of life?

    I have no idea. I don't read about games very much and don't follow what's happening. I guess games are like movies, we like to identify with the characters to feel the game is good. Sometimes it's hard if they are very different from us, and then the movie / game is very boring or even annoying.

    I don't think they meant literally. More in the sense that if you don't include them you're suddenly "anti-trans/gay/whatever".

    Who does this? I am only aware of far-right bros angrily making lists of games that have black and/or gay characters.

    There's a few, very vocal idiots every now and then who believe that every group/minority should be represented in every piece of media. A lot of the time they don't even belong to any of those minorities. And then there's the people who comply to cater to that audience, because they appear bigger in numbers than they are.

    Don't wanna get "canceled" on Xitter, you know? /s

    Anyway, I don't care personally. I haven't really seen a lot of examples in media where the creators made characters part of a minority, maybe even retroactively, just to please a certain demographic. The closest I can think of is J.K. Rowling's Xitter account. That was interesting to watch, to say the least lol
