Games

From the term used I can easily determine you are more conservative than most here, and even if your comment got reported multiple time on the basis of rule 2, I'd like not to overreact and give you the occasion to develop a bit more your arguments by providing examples instead of just "its like that because I feel like it is like that".

So, could you please kindly provide, as other in this thread asked, example of :

• Games where those "political" topics doesn't belong
• Review criticizing SpaceMarine 2 for not "pandering to LGBTQ"

I believe this would help open a more open conversation than some politically opposite attacking each other personally.

In my humble opinion, Games being a work of art as much as it is an entertainment, it is up to the creator to chose what kind of story it want to talk about.
Does they want to talk about how the LGBTQ community, which has been oppressed for a long time, in their game ? Fine by me, at lease I can have some insight from the viewpoint of someone of this community, albeit virtual, to better understand said topic.
Those topics where not talked at all previously, so of course it would feel like it becomes a lot more present in the last years, just by contrast with the absence of it in previous titles. It is also a brand new storytelling topic on which game designer have very little experience with, so it is logical for it to be talked about awkwardly at time (thus the need for specialized consulting firm like Sweet Baby Inc), with some very obvious stitches at times. Just give them time to understand how to blend it better in the story and gameplay, and you'll get the fun games you wish for, with a diverse cast you won't even have to complain about.

Lgbtqia people existing is not "real world politics" and they are grossly underrepresented in media.

where no form of real world politics

Oh fuck off, queer people aren't politics. It's literally just humans existing, but since some bigots want to limit their rights you call it political. This is the same exact thought process of asking "the Jewish question".

never cared what the main protagonist is like

And yet here you are saying a bunch of dumb stuff about devs pushing things in. You can't have it both ways.

Do you have examples of DEI'd games? Do you have sources for saying devs don't want to do it anymore? So far I only know of guys that record videos of themselves screaming "fucking pronouns" being offended by the mere presence of pronouns, and that's not even "DEI". There's also that weird steam recommendation character who criticizes every game that has a woman who isn't meant to be a sex object, but these are all very fringe and often severely disturbed people, not at all representative of any real impactful opinions.

EDIT: Of course I don't mean to say that these anti-woke beliefs aren't dangerous in the right hand, or that anti-woke anti-justice warriors can't pose a danger to anyone, but their beliefs do not need to be discussed and argued with every time, and definitely not in good faith.

OMG totally agree. It's so upsetting when my game isn't just about straight white characters.

Do you have some examples? It would really help to discuss specifics.
