!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I've seen more posts complaining about complainers, than I've seen complainers.

This is Lemmy. You're looking for reddit.

Currently I split my time a bit on reddit and Lemmy, but at this point I don’t even bother with their gaming communities. Lemmy is miles better in that regard imo as far as discussions go.

I haven't seen a single complaint about Ciri being the protagonist of the next witcher game andI believe it's because she isn't a "let's put a woman here for the quotas" type of character.

Yeah, I honestly haven't seen an actual complaint.

Is it here, or on the internet as a whole? I have already seen a TON of vitriol in the trailer's comments on YouTube. They're loudly skreeeing woke, and DEI, and even the less insane ones are "so disappointed in CDPR."

EDIT - I spoke too soon, they're even here in this very post.

so disappointed in CDPR

Did they play the third game? Do they remember how important Ciri was, how special her powers?

I'm wagering most of them haven't.

They just start frothing at the sight of a powerful woman

Really? Can you share them? I saw the post on lemmy complaining about wanting male/female options, but there's also this article with gems such as below.

Even in the comments of that article though, is "DEI detected = Purchase rejected".

So the comments are out there, probably on reddit too, but they are there.

That's super reaching for straws. It's a skin in a third party Battle Royale game. He couldn't even bring himself to compare her to Ciri in Witcher 3.

We're a pretty happy bubble here, which is why I'm here
