I hope we go the Cartoon Network route and just make everyone amorphous blobs with no human characteristics whatsoever. Holy shit, woke is literally a cultural grey goo scenario...
bro continue fighting, homosexuality is so evil that people are so obsessed with this now thats just acting like an imature man child. by the way love your videos
At some point it needs to happen otherwise they wont learn. Its always obvious for companies that keep the world running that if you dont provide product that your customers want then you will not have customers but debt collectors on your doorstep. People really need to stop buying these woke agenda driven games.
Never buy games day 1. After release if you see the game is woke, never buy it at all. If not, all complaints become irrelevant and you are part of the problem by supporting it.

I suspect some of the biggest developers in future may work with similar companies but won't tell the public for fear of backlash. Companies such as RS may have their own in house people that may decide to include more progressive ideas. This isn't anything new in games. What is new is how certain ideas may stand out too much, and not fit in to the game or movie @@thetrashcanman7537

@@EndymionTv Bro, it's Dragon Age. Considering past games, DREADWOLF will 1000% have woke themes in it. Wouldn't be surprised if ME4 is the same. I'm also very concerned about Elder Scrolls VI considering how Starfield was... I guess this is the end :(
@@ZKEUS It is absolutely the end... for these studios. It's not so bad, really, you can just play some old games you missed out on while the industry crashes ( again ) and they remember all of a sudden they actually want money for a change. You didn't buy SF, did you? FFS. The 1000 planets should've been the red flag. He was telling you right there that it would be cheap. Bethesda are horrible, look at the games they have released since Skyrim- FO4= watered down garbage, FO76= we don't talk about that, SF= I told you so. Todd lies all the time and never gets by me, a very poor salesman just like Jenson Huang or Phil Spencer, you'd have to be weak-minded ((many are ) to fall for the weak sauce that dribbles out of their mouth. Seriously, DO NOT give them money knowing full well it will be shite in advance or you're just part of the problem. TES is just a name now, the people that made it famous are long gone from that abomination of a studio. Think of every game you loved from 10-15 years ago and odds are 100% the studio that made them are shadows of their former self. You can thank me for saving you money down the line...or not😇
"Representation" is a buzz word used to overshadow the correct term, which is Psychological Colonialism. People are trying to force you to think the way that they do by overtaking every aspect of your life. They're already most of the way done when it comes to the entertainment industry and politics. There's basically no bastion of original or free thought left in the world.
Fascism would be the antidote. You mean marxism and its ultimate form, communism. Fascism was a response to Weimar deviancy. Who was responsible for that, and who was responsible for Marxism and Russian communist Bolsheviks? Its the tip of a very large iceburg. TH-cam conveniently deletes comments with more details.
That’s exactly what’s happening imo, and AAA gaming is gonna get a smack down when sales falter and games that took 7 years plus fail like SSKTJL, and take the studio with it.
Which one would you choose: Low sales to the point of bankruptcy and closure OR making some 2% of the population angry and prompting them to write articles nobody even reads?
Trying to make a fantasy setting look like our reality makes about as little sense as calling someone a married bachelor. These people just want you to not be able to escape their politics, even in your escapism.
Glaad and other rainbow riders groups are cultists and these LEFTISTS groups need to be sued and shut down for good especially for targeting kids. Why do we care what 0.001% of the population thinks?!
Companies try to include such content in movies and perhaps now games, but will still tread carefully. Two intimate women together as content, in what is still largely a male passtime, is unsurprisingly far more common than two men together.
That's really similar to my games as well. I notice usally when I win it's with straight or at least natural people but when I usually loose it's LGBT flags, Girls, or ignorant ass people 😡 I can't tell you how many games I would of won if not for them.
Crazy it's like all the diehard tryhards are slowly disappearing🤣I stopped playing cod long ago. To me it's bland and boring that follows the same formula as the previous cod.it'll literally die off at some point.Yeah you aren't wrong😅🤣
One thing vastly missing in their calculations is that tons of game genres have nothing to do with sexuality in any way. Puzzle games are not going to have a gender or preference for instance. Tons of kids games simply aren't going to address orientation or sex as concepts. What about games where you play anthropomorphized animals? Or games where sex or orientation in general just isn't a part of the story, hetero or otherwise. Trying to run raw percentages on sexual orientation in games is an idiotic thing to do.
for these people, all things are sexual. children, tools or animals - it's all the same to them. So if you make a farming simulator, you better put some lesbian bisexual cows of color in it, or else...
No one is missing, theses lunatics only worry with sex, their sexuality, thats why they try make everything about it, thats the only thing they want, the good thing is by making it political its ok now make political oposition to it, thats what people will do now, its not coincidence that conservatives are advancing in the world again....
Exactly. Hardly any games even feature romance or sex at all. Nowadays it seems like if there is a relationship in a game it's either gay, or you can choose.
generally what they mean when they say "gaming is not woke enough" is "gaming is not dying fast enough" they dont want gaming to be a thing any more just like disney not making actual movies any more just propergander to drain the company dry.
i don't they have thought thru what would happen in a non gaming world and how the male population would react to that kind of landscape given how modern times are
Mortal Kombat covering up all their female characters is something that still boogles my mind. The franchise that gave politicians the finger in the 90s became woke...
MK women are gonna look like skeletons by MK3 with how scrawny they’ve been becoming. I also wonder what woman they’re gonna race-swap in the later games now.🤔
the moment MK filtered their characters and nerfed the design, in my eyes, their games ended. the final MK game is literally Armageddon on PS2... the name literally says "the final battle" what more would you ask for? all "after" waste .. well .. IS WASTE!
Seriously. When i saw that i knew we lost video games. MK and duke nukem changed the game. And now mk has bent the knee to the woke mafia. Glad i havent gotten any of their games in over a decade.
Even with out the woke bs they have butchered the story with the multiverse garbage. they need to reboot to original MK1, MK2 etc and make it 99% the same, 100% the same story, moves, gameplay, and settings, just update the graphics, and tweak the gameplay a bit but keep everything else the same and have zero woke bs.
As I was listening, I remembered something from childhood. When I was a kid I wouldn't let my sister play with me & my mates. She would go crying to my mother who would tell me off & force me to let my sister play too. That's pretty much what is going on. Resentful immature adults who use whatever power they have to force others to comply with what benefits them, regardless of any negative impact on everyone else. It's just about making these people feel better. Absolutely at the narcissistic end of the behaviour spectrum.
Well said. I spent some time in a political environment a few years ago which really opened my eyes to disingenuous manipulators who weaponise language to benefit their own agenda. Real backstabbing scumbags you wouldn't trust even less than you could throw them with a broken arm.
There’s a massive woke game on the horizon called “Dustborn” that illustrates everything wrong with politics in gaming. I can’t wait for you to catch wind of it and roast it to a crisp when it comes out.
This lgbt nonsense being pushed on us is why I am glad steam has the tag system... being able to block content based on the tags means I don't get it shoved in my face. If it wasn't shoved in my face, I could look passed it... but nope, they gotta assault the average person with how they like sausage, buns or beans... If I wanted bedroom content, I'd look for it... I don't want it shoved in my face from games I play to chill out after work.
Thats exactly it. Its so annoying that i no longer browse Steam store. Didnt know you can blacklist that stuff so you dont have to see it. Good to know if i ever decide to look around Steam store again.
So practically every game can feature straight characters and relationships, some at forefront of their games, and you take no issue. But a small amount are LGBTQ+ and sudden it’s ’shoved in your face’? 😂
Unfortunately porn sites don't care about your preferences. You're going to be fed at least 1 trans video daily through recomendations despite you set it not to show such kind of videos. Pornhub like an example.
Curious. They don't wanna include the Adult oriented games. So what they're saying is, they're just counting the games that expose children to LGBT themes?
Whats that "biracial" stuff? Why are english speaking people all the time using the word "race" so casually within the definition of those from the race-theories of the past centuries? Isnt it (if at all) "ethnicity" or just "skincolor"?
@@CallMeTeci yah, I live in latinoamerica, where spaniards, black people, natives, germans and who knows what more banged together and brought to earth more people who banged between them, for centuries. So I really have no idea of what they mean by being "biracial". Maybe do you have each half of your face of one color?
Don't let it bring you down. You can fight back! Simply sail the high seas 🏴☠whenever you see woke BS being pushed but still want to play a game. *Bitcott.*
Once again these people believe the sexuality of video game characters is a top priority. If it's a dating simulator or a story driven drama like Life is Strange I get it. But why would anyone care about King Shark or Nightwing when you are shooting and beating up people like 80% of the time?
It's not about caring. It's a deliberate political agenda using fringe minorities to gain political power and push radical identity driven agendas on society.
Because they know no one would want it so they use a popular ip as bait so people will buy it just to find out later that there's nothing to do with the franchise they love.
Gaming already is inclusive by trying to make things hyper inclusive to the point of pandering it actually ostracizes audiences more because it's so obviously tolkenism that it becomes distracting and immersion breaking
Because "inclusive" is just a buzzword, they've made it very clear that if you're a straight White man (or don't actively hate them) then the games aren't for you. And if you don't follow their DIE religion, then the games aren't for you. There's nothing "inclusive" about it
@@EndymionTv These aren't our people. These are sociopaths and narcissists. Frankly, they don't care about diversity. They just want "everything to be what I want and nothing else". Actually spoke to a few people in a server where the cause is there, but not the radicalization, and even they agree with this sentiment. They want actual diversity in all regards, where it makes sense. Like, differing views and such. But having it forced in, is just fucking stupid. Let storytellers tell the stories they want to tell. If it includes woke stuff, then, so be it. If it doesn't, so be it. As long as the story and gameplay are good, that's what shall speak. Don't force politics in if it doesn't fit, and don't talk down to your audience and make them feel stupid. There's a right way to go about it, and the journalists are going about this the wrong way. It should be a conversation, and the trading of ideas, to discuss. Not bullets used to fucking kill conversation. It's a debate. And the participants are shooting at each other while the supporters are cowering in fear because they want to avoid the crossfire. Nobody wins here. And the tribalism continues. We need to actually talk to the parts that are more open to conversation and debate, without flying off the handle. Find common ground, and be able to have a civil discussion as opposed to encapsulating an "us vs them" situation that this has largely become. There is definitely a mind virus. A vocal minority of disease that wants to oppress. And they, are the common enemy here. Let that be known. We, are not your enemy. We want the same things as you guys do. Good, fun entertainment. If some well done representation comes with it, great. That's a good thing. But not everything has to BE representative. DOne for the sake of it, is tokenism. And, lets all say it together, Tokenism is a form of racism.
..seems my comments are being terminated proactively...what's going on here? I left a long form comment that is discussing it, and it got immediately terminated and thrown into the spam end or something. Endymion, if you can see this, I'd like to have a serious talk about all this if possible.
I agree in terms of pandering, however I see far too many people nowadays being blatantly racist because the main character isn’t a white guy or they think it has to many nonwhite characters. So as long as they aren’t doing that I’m fine.
@@Lightna That was a big issue for me as well. I remember I was in middle school when I was obsessed with Overwatch, and I was begging my parents to buy me hundreds of loot boxes. 😔 I realized I was being manipulated and it turned me away from microtransactions entirely.
Head canon straight characters and whine about lack of representation, accuse others of being istaphobic for not liking it but don't buy it and just whine it's not enough and forget about it. I've seen it in many other entertainment spaces, vidyas are no different.
It’s so funny to me that GLAAD whines about the gaming industry “failing” its gay customers, as if gay people make up more than 1% of the population. Also, what is so wrong with gay people and their lifestyle/worldview that they need constant validation from everyone and everything that they make good decisions? It’s almost as if they know something’s wrong….
I'm already seeing so much alphabet crap in gaming now that its annoying especially when I have zero interest in it. This is why I tend to just play older games now that never had any of this nonsense in it. The other issue is that games like Baldur's Gate 3 having so much alphabet crap in it, mods that remove it for those who don't care for it get removed and banned from places like nexus saying its harmful or some BS. How is this harmful to someone who just wants to play the game without it yet I can say 100% for sure if a game didn't have any kind of gay stuff present and someone would make a mod to add it in this would be 100% ok. Sick of the double standards as well.
I'm gay and I agree. I actively support gatekeeping, as that ensures people who don't even like the franchise can't easily slip in and ruin it while never supporting it anyways.

They said that, by their own math, 1% of games "represent" the wifi password people. That community makes up less than 1% of the real world population. So they admit that games actually over represent the community. What the gaming community has been saying for a while now.
Remember that episode of Rick and Morty where they play Minecraft and Rick casually just drops that he's on the spectrum as part of a bit and it's not made into a big deal other than a mention a season or two later? That's better representation than any modern game or show that tries to make a point out of everything being LGBT.
The other day on Steam, a guy was commenting on how TR remasters are great but there is no LGBTQ content. I'm gay, but when I see comments like this, I wish I'm not. The same goes for the whole gay community lately; I don't even hang out around gay people much anymore. They just talk about woke stuff lately, and if it's not gay stuff, it's vaccines and masks. If it's not that, then it's pronouns or fluid sexual orientation. I mean, I'm gay, but that's only 10% of me. First, I'm a person. But lately, gay people have turned their world to revolve just around their sexuality, which is ridiculous. I don't see straight people going around and talking about how they are straight.
Thank you for saying the truth. That's legitimately all gender, identity and orientation is. A label of what you are and like. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with who we are, how we live our lives, etc. I'm in the same boat. It's nice people are considering equality more, but they're doing it the wrong ways.
This. I know this might be a poor example, but what you pointed out just reminds me of how the vegan lifestyle raised more awareness a few years ago. People in the vegan community just got so OVERLY militant and aggressive, they would attack vegetarians and accuse them for being hypocrites. And they felt the need to grab a megaphone to let everyone know how "vegan" they are. Like, you're more than just your eating habits!?...
be careful a lot of fake LGBTQ, as in posers are out there, they are woke activists that infiltrate legit LGBTQ social circles so they can influence and steer people into the direction and to agree with what the activists want
People who talk like you described are part of the TQ+ crap. Us on the side of the LGB are not like that. I'm glad you stay away from all that nonsense.
Much like recently with Rocksteady, the Crystal Dynamics that gave us the Soul Reaver games along with the Tomb Raider Legends trilogy are no longer there. Its Crystal Dynamics in name only.

Japan has some LGBTQ games mostly Visual Novels as long as they're tagged with "Yaoi/Yuri" unlike Netflix's who pulled LGBTQ tag out of "Dahmer" Ever heard of "Yuru Yuri" an All-Girl Anime? How about "Lycoris Recoil" or "Houseki no Kuni"?
Japan has had lewd tropes the west only more recently has made popular for centuries though. But unlike the West, Japanese culture knows and admits it's not normal.
True. Final Fantasy V had a trans main character, Faris, and that game was released in 1992. They were already represented with main characters 32 years ago and are still complaining.
The US has a large number of those games. All mainly indie developed for PC, and usually visual. No need for a label when the description stands out enough.
The best we can do is to NOT buy any woke bullshit games, but instead SUPPORT games like Stellar Blade to send a message. In the end, it's all about money. When woke studio games FAIL and real games like Stellar Blade being SUCCESSFUL, they can't deny anymore what gamers REALLY WANT.
this is so sickening how they are forcing their royal gayness onto everyone... instead of rainbowifying old movies/games into modern wokeness do some roleplaying in your head like the rest of us.. they should form their own studios and create whatever new games/movies they want.. instead of bruteforcing others to bend over
I'm seriously disappointed with Larian shoving so much LGBT stuff in our face constantly, goddamn patch 6 I don't give a fuck about kissing dudes, I wanna see gameplay changes and features, this is what draws me in good gameplay. Ffs so tired of this shit, wish I could mod it out .. ohh wait Nexus banned the mods.
There should be an option to turn off all LGBT stuff at the beginning. You want it? Go for it, but for those who find it repulsive, let us just not have it.
This is precisely why I buy almost no new games. I'll play my old games over and over like Battlefield where none of this occurs or indie games this sort of stuff isn't pushed on me.
So they think that 83% of gamers should be force feed the content for 17% of gamers. These people are full of crap. Vote with your money. Pay attention to what is being put out and if anything is in the game that you don’t care for don’t purchase it. Stop preordering games. Check first after it has come out and protect yourself for any unwanted propaganda. Let them make 17% of the money until they learn not to force things where they don’t need to be.
As a gay guy I always roll my eyes when journalists say stuff like this. Not EVERY single piece of media needs representation all the time, they can of course add it as long as they consider quality rather than *the message*. Vi and Caitlyn's relationship in Arcane is way better than a random game adding rainbow flags all over New York.
Well, when you're an overtly privileged, pampered, lazy, entitled, narcissistic, greedy, selfish, petty, jealous, envious, emotionally unstable and have an extreme sense of "white/heterophobia" like these people do, then yes. You do HAVE to see yourself in every single piece of media created, because these people think that they are gods at this point, "oppressed" gods who are also "victims" that is.
I'm yet to meet a gay person or minority who actually enjoys the cr*p coming out of modern Hollywood. In fact, 99% of the LGB part of the community seems based and normal, it's the TQIA+'s that make the rest of ya'll look bad.
It's the urban monoculture mental virus. It permeates and infects everything. And it's fascist. "You can be free, but ONLY in the narrow confines of what WE define as correct lingo and mindsets."
the woke agenda in games and movies is funded by Vanguard and Blackrock. It's apart of agenda 30 and the world economic Forum push for what they want. There is a bigger agenda at play they are pushing LGBTQ into games / movies to corrupted and brainwash today's youth, to normalise the unnormal to engineer society,invert what's normal and to weaken men, destroy morals and the family unit and it's a form of populat ion control. This is a sign of a collapsing, morally bankrupt society
Don't let them play you. The tomb raider remastered collection is made by Aspyr, not CD. They(CD) put that disclaimer in to sabotage the games release. You should support it if you want tomb raider to have a chance at returning to form. CD wants to make Lara Croft lame and gay, don't let hem have their way. If the remastered is successful Embracer may force CD to make Tomb raider closer to its original roots.
@@NateL1992 I meant that CD is likely wanting to start a new trilogy. Where Lara has a diverse sidekick and is lesbian. It will likely have a message of returning "stolen" artifacts to indigenous cultures. it will likely have a WHITE male as the villain. Lara croft being a beloved female character in gaming makes her a target for these activists to be subverted. Their strategy is so formulaic it pretty much writes itself.
@@stefilduce7452 It's worse they want to "unifying" her. That mean steal the old character combine with new from trilogy and continue as a man faced Lara probably gay, idk.
If the percentage of games with LGBTQ was proportional to the amount of players who are LGBTQ, we'd have SO much less of this it wouldn't be considered a problem. they can't have it both be proportoinal to a tiny minority, and have every game full of it.
Wokeness and the fact that it appeared in the Sweet Baby list killed my hype for Hyper Light Breaker. I'm a huge Hyper Light Drifter fan, I play it every year, but now? I wouldn't take it for free.
Yeah dissapointed that Heart Machine the studio that made Hyper Light Drifter is working for them but i'm not surprised considering they hired Zoe Quinn for Solar Ash.
"we need more gay characters" no we dont, most people dont care about a persons sexuality, but when its put front and center, there is not enough people to support this to make a profit. Why did the south park "put a chick in it and make her gay" resonates so well.
@@xavierhouston4650 I’m just saying, there’s nothing wrong with LGBT in video games, as long it handled by personal’s who care, about story writing /wold building and game Play , instead of whiny activists Who I don’t have an inch of care about source material story telling and gameplay. Innovation.?
Imagine if they made a game with all the genders that are made up, a player would spend months just on the creation of the character. If another gender came out, they would complain that that gender was not included. Its like a Lara Croft game out and people complaining that they could not play a male character, because Lara Croft is not male. I played TF2 several years ago and a player on our team was complaining that there was enough LGBT representation in the game for hours while not supporting or helping the team. He just whined while not trying to win the game or support the team. He just ranted and he was medic that healed nobody. We just left the server and went to a private server so we could actually play and relax.
Wow i've never seen something like that on TF2. There a lot more people roleplaying femboys to be honest. (and some people hating on them) Well, most don't speak and play. TF2 is actually a game that LGBT people like from what i've seen, especially gay. An all male cast is extremely rare Even tho, from the lore, not one of them is LGBT
With a few exceptions like Elden Ring, I've spent the bulk of the last 3 years replaying classic because of woke games. I don't think there should be ANY LGBTQ content in ANY game ANYWHERE, EVER. I just want to play a game I don't care about the characters sex lives.
I learned a valuable lesson because of Spiderman 2. I will never again preorder a game and I will check the wokeness level first. Also if Sweet Baby Inc is involved it's an automatic no buy.

There is zero diversity and representation of Igbt in both movie and games as villains. I never seen a movie with villain being Igbt and they dont ask for that.

One of my favorite games of last year was Signalis, a game that's literally about space chino-Soviet robot lesbians and somehow the story is about characters and struggles and not about, as the community calls it, Sesbian Lex.

You can never pander enough, unless you just declare that "gaming is inherently offensive to minorities" and ban the very concept of gaming. Only when once they DESTROYED it on their OWN terms will they consider having done enough.
Was planning to buy Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, but now probably won’t. Politicizing and sexualizing games is the opposite of marketing them. You just lose half to 100% of your audience.

I dont wanna be involved into political sphere, because have heath problem and other stuff to more worry about, like lacking of money, job search and family drama.
They are already hyper over represented in all forms of media. I'm so sick of this claim they are "marginalized" groups. When you have hiring requirements at most of these places that a minimum percentage of their workforce HAS to include people from your group you aren't marginalized, you are favored!
GLAAD is cooking the books. The rarest thing in modern games are heterosexual women protagonists. They either LGBTQ (most of the time) or they have no sexuality mentioned. Male characters are quickly following suit. GLAAD is likely using all games to make this under-representation claim. They are likely including mobile games, arcade games, action focused games and games like candy crush and word games to prove their hogwash numbers. Also, Steam doesn't even put the LGBTQ tag on a lot of games that have an LGBTQ characters. Their article exposes that GLAAD is interested in ONE thing: POWER.
I genuinely didn't know what GLAAD was, and now that i do, still don't care if they have anything to say about games. The core audience of games couldn't give 2 shites about lgbt being in the game as long as its naturally done and not a detriment to the story or gameplay
They are exaggerating the numbers of LGBTQ "gamers" so they could demand more representation. The numbers are nowhere near as big as this political organization pretends it is.
I would equal GLAAD with PETA, you know the insane animal rights activists who actually do more harm with their antics than good What GLAAD is doing is tooting their own horn at the expense of actual LGBTQ+ people, because they seem to have an agenda they want to put before a honest acceptance.
Glaad needs to sit down and shut up. It’s annoying and it doesn’t make money. It’s killing entertainment. Companies like sweet baby Inc and Glaad..need to go away.
What games are you guys all playing with. Only knew two of them I thought my head with gay people in it and I've only played one of them. And I play tons of games
On the subject of homosexuality, I always like to draw a parallel between two gay characters by the same company: Steven Cortez from Mass Effect 3 and Dorian Pavis from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Steve was a great character. He was caring, diligent, talented, and funny. He had great chemistry with the entire crew, especially James Vega. He had victories, emotions, flaws, deep personal pain which lay behind his motives, and took part in the shared human experience. And he was gay. Dorian on the other hand... His character wasn't terrible, but throughout my playthroughs, he could never seem to shake the classic "gay man" stereotype. He was always so flamboyant and over the top that it led to his character falling a bit flat for me. Now, I didn't romance him, and I've heard that he gets a lot deeper if you do, but I think that highlights the difference. Dorian, if he's not gay, ends up losing something in the wash. Cortez on the other hand is a great character whether you romance him or not. Cortez is a great character whether he's gay or not. That's what makes him a great example of how to do homosexuality right in gaming.
Because Steve wasnt a Gay Man TM. He was just a dude who you find out had a husband that was killed, and he didnt constantly remind you he was gay, his story was about a guy grieving for a dead loved one and how he came to terms with it. Most of his back story dialogue was how he used to be a fighter pilot, and how he liked watching ships. Him being gay was just a small part of his character, not his defining characteristic.
At this point, gaming is either becoming a race to who makes the worst and wokest product, just for the meme, or a production of something that tries to satisfy everyone, and fails miserably, or something that tries actively to product a feminist lgbtqia+ approved dumpster fire, praised by a bunch of weird colored new pronouned cancel pigs, and selling 3 copies because it's unbearably boring. There are also the (unfortunately) many sequel/prequel/remakes of older games, with a certain core character/s retconned to be either gay, dead, or non-relevant. Now I get why people like Final Fantasy, western games are dead or covered in rainbow sludge.
Well. All I can say is I am here for the great entertainment media collapse. If this is what they want to do, then I can at least rejoice in the layoffs and studio closures.
Yeah, this is why I just don't buy woke games. Period. If politics compromises your game design, story, characters, aesthetic, etc., you can keep it. At this point I'm so sick of this crap that I don't care how good the rest of it is, you could execute well on everything else and it doesn't matter. I will not support insanity, division, racism, or any other ism that only exists because people deny reality. Tell your what, game companies, here's some more free advice. Make your characters attractive and give them compelling personalities. If someone on your team tells you that designing an attractive female character is sexist, fire them on the spot. If someone tells you that a person's race is their defining characteristic, kick them out the window. If one of your employees talks about representation, allow them to experience representing the unemployed. They are relics of a dying philosophy that sees people as little rivalrous groups with the same characteristics rather than as individuals. They are unknowingly propagating a philosophy of destructive division and must be removed from any position of authority or influence no matter how well intentioned they are.
I loved that games, such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age, had options to engage in gay/bi relationships, and they were generally well-loved by the gaming audience. But, today, ESG is little more than a checkoff list to force it into you or else, and the games that follow it are reduced to mush.
They’re maliciously presenting the stats as well, as for the movies and shows they only used single years, whereas for the games they just went with the entire catalogue for each platform.
12:59 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is the last Pokémon game to say "a boy or a girl" when picking a character. It is a game that came out in 2020. Granted, it was made by Spike Chunsoft that made other Mystery Dungeon games, but they can be bipolar as to what games they would make like AI: The Somnium Files.
Thank you for watching! You read that right modern gaming is apparently NOT meeting the demands of these groups, they want it to go even further. What do you think?

Never buy games day 1. After release if you see the game is woke, never buy it at all. If not, all complaints become irrelevant and you are part of the problem by supporting it.
“Woke” games are annoying but the biggest problem facing gaming is not “woke politics”. It’s money grubbing studios putting out dogshit.

a company of degenerates.
It's part of a media cult that goes after your children. They just flaunt that in your face knowing that you can't do anything about it.
It's deliberate. Even their logo is pedo symbol and I know the founders and financiers also partake of certain Italian confections.

And TH-cam deleted my comment. Guess I hit a mark. The logo is a Cheese pizza lover symbol. And I'm sure the founders and some of the investors partake of that. The name sweet baby isn't a coincidence either. It's what feminists call their beta male servants.
Any game that has Sweet Baby Inc involved is on my DO NOT BUY list.

I suspect some of the biggest developers in future may work with similar companies but won't tell the public for fear of backlash.

It's not so bad, really, you can just play some old games you missed out on while the industry crashes ( again ) and they remember all of a sudden they actually want money for a change.

Seriously, DO NOT give them money knowing full well it will be shite in advance or you're just part of the problem. TES is just a name now, the people that made it famous are long gone from that abomination of a studio. Think of every game you loved from 10-15 years ago and odds are 100% the studio that made them are shadows of their former self. You can thank me for saving you money down the line...or not😇
"Representation" is a buzz word used to overshadow the correct term, which is Psychological Colonialism. People are trying to force you to think the way that they do by overtaking every aspect of your life. They're already most of the way done when it comes to the entertainment industry and politics. There's basically no bastion of original or free thought left in the world.
You mean like Fascism? Or Authoritarianism?
Fascism would be the antidote. You mean marxism and its ultimate form, communism. Fascism was a response to Weimar deviancy. Who was responsible for that, and who was responsible for Marxism and Russian communist Bolsheviks? Its the tip of a very large iceburg. TH-cam conveniently deletes comments with more details.
It has the opposite effect.
I used to be pretty live and let live now Im not.
I would love a website that screens games for ESG content, so that I can more easily avoid supporting these people.
Thats actually a brilliant idea.
It would be expensive to run as no studio is giving codes to that website 😂
So basically now games will have their very own ESG and DEI scores. Also I hope Crystal Dynamics goes bankrupt.
That’s exactly what’s happening imo, and AAA gaming is gonna get a smack down when sales falter and games that took 7 years plus fail like SSKTJL, and take the studio with it.
Then again, they made games for a console nobody wanted in 1993
That can be useful. Gamers will look for the games with the worst scores, to know which aren't woke trash!
@@zeehero7280 It could be useful in this way. But I bet major publishers and stores will restrict anything with bad score.

Glaad and other rainbow riders groups are cultists and these LEFTISTS groups need to be sued and shut down for good especially for targeting kids. Why do we care what 0.001% of the population thinks?!
I'm gay myself and I don't care what a character's race/sex/gender is as long as the character is interesting and the game is fun.
Companies try to include such content in movies and perhaps now games, but will still tread carefully. Two intimate women together as content, in what is still largely a male passtime, is unsurprisingly far more common than two men together.
I actually agree with them from experience. Every single player on my team is gay when we lose in a CoD match
That's really similar to my games as well. I notice usally when I win it's with straight or at least natural people but when I usually loose it's LGBT flags, Girls, or ignorant ass people 😡 I can't tell you how many games I would of won if not for them.

One thing vastly missing in their calculations is that tons of game genres have nothing to do with sexuality in any way. Puzzle games are not going to have a gender or preference for instance. Tons of kids games simply aren't going to address orientation or sex as concepts. What about games where you play anthropomorphized animals? Or games where sex or orientation in general just isn't a part of the story, hetero or otherwise. Trying to run raw percentages on sexual orientation in games is an idiotic thing to do.
for these people, all things are sexual. children, tools or animals - it's all the same to them. So if you make a farming simulator, you better put some lesbian bisexual cows of color in it, or else...
No one is missing, theses lunatics only worry with sex, their sexuality, thats why they try make everything about it, thats the only thing they want, the good thing is by making it political its ok now make political oposition to it, thats what people will do now, its not coincidence that conservatives are advancing in the world again....
dont give them ideas....
predators work like that
Exactly. Hardly any games even feature romance or sex at all. Nowadays it seems like if there is a relationship in a game it's either gay, or you can choose.
generally what they mean when they say "gaming is not woke enough" is "gaming is not dying fast enough" they dont want gaming to be a thing any more just like disney not making actual movies any more just propergander to drain the company dry.

MK women are gonna look like skeletons by MK3 with how scrawny they’ve been becoming. I also wonder what woman they’re gonna race-swap in the later games now.🤔
the moment MK filtered their characters and nerfed the design, in my eyes, their games ended.
the final MK game is literally Armageddon on PS2... the name literally says "the final battle" what more would you ask for? all "after" waste .. well .. IS WASTE!
Seriously. When i saw that i knew we lost video games. MK and duke nukem changed the game. And now mk has bent the knee to the woke mafia. Glad i havent gotten any of their games in over a decade.
Even with out the woke bs
they have butchered the story with the multiverse garbage. they need to reboot to original MK1, MK2 etc and make it 99% the same, 100% the same story, moves, gameplay, and settings, just update the graphics, and tweak the gameplay a bit but keep everything else the same and have zero woke bs.

As I was listening, I remembered something from childhood. When I was a kid I wouldn't let my sister play with me & my mates. She would go crying to my mother who would tell me off & force me to let my sister play too. That's pretty much what is going on. Resentful immature adults who use whatever power they have to force others to comply with what benefits them, regardless of any negative impact on everyone else.

They want actual diversity in all regards, where it makes sense. Like, differing views and such. But having it forced in, is just fucking stupid. Let storytellers tell the stories they want to tell. If it includes woke stuff, then, so be it. If it doesn't, so be it. As long as the story and gameplay are good, that's what shall speak.
Don't force politics in if it doesn't fit, and don't talk down to your audience and make them feel stupid.
There's a right way to go about it, and the journalists are going about this the wrong way.
It should be a conversation, and the trading of ideas, to discuss. Not bullets used to fucking kill conversation.
It's a debate. And the participants are shooting at each other while the supporters are cowering in fear because they want to avoid the crossfire.
Nobody wins here. And the tribalism continues. We need to actually talk to the parts that are more open to conversation and debate, without flying off the handle. Find common ground, and be able to have a civil discussion as opposed to encapsulating an "us vs them" situation that this has largely become. There is definitely a mind virus. A vocal minority of disease that wants to oppress. And they, are the common enemy here. Let that be known. We, are not your enemy. We want the same things as you guys do. Good, fun entertainment. If some well done representation comes with it, great. That's a good thing. But not everything has to BE representative. DOne for the sake of it, is tokenism. And, lets all say it together,
Tokenism is a form of racism.

Also, what is so wrong with gay people and their lifestyle/worldview that they need constant validation from everyone and everything that they make good decisions? It’s almost as if they know something’s wrong….
I'm already seeing so much alphabet crap in gaming now that its annoying especially when I have zero interest in it. This is why I tend to just play older games now that never had any of this nonsense in it. The other issue is that games like Baldur's Gate 3 having so much alphabet crap in it, mods that remove it for those who don't care for it get removed and banned from places like nexus saying its harmful or some BS.
How is this harmful to someone who just wants to play the game without it yet I can say 100% for sure if a game didn't have any kind of gay stuff present and someone would make a mod to add it in this would be 100% ok. Sick of the double standards as well.
I firmly stand on the gatekeeping line and say to GLAAD: No.
Sue GLAAD for good and shut them down! They are targeting kids.

Homosexuals were seen as weird back then, and wokeness has done more to justify the hateful claims of our ancestors.
These people should remain and will always be a minority. And as one, honosexuals shouldn't act like pop culture parastites.
They said that, by their own math, 1% of games "represent" the wifi password people. That community makes up less than 1% of the real world population. So they admit that games actually over represent the community. What the gaming community has been saying for a while now.
Remember that episode of Rick and Morty where they play Minecraft and Rick casually just drops that he's on the spectrum as part of a bit and it's not made into a big deal other than a mention a season or two later?
That's better representation than any modern game or show that tries to make a point out of everything being LGBT.
The other day on Steam, a guy was commenting on how TR remasters are great but there is no LGBTQ content. I'm gay, but when I see comments like this, I wish I'm not. The same goes for the whole gay community lately; I don't even hang out around gay people much anymore. They just talk about woke stuff lately, and if it's not gay stuff, it's vaccines and masks. If it's not that, then it's pronouns or fluid sexual orientation. I mean, I'm gay, but that's only 10% of me. First, I'm a person. But lately, gay people have turned their world to revolve just around their sexuality, which is ridiculous. I don't see straight people going around and talking about how they are straight.
They are useful idiots, glad you escaped their clutches.
Thank you for saying the truth. That's legitimately all gender, identity and orientation is. A label of what you are and like. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with who we are, how we live our lives, etc. I'm in the same boat. It's nice people are considering equality more, but they're doing it the wrong ways.
This.
I know this might be a poor example, but what you pointed out just reminds me of how the vegan lifestyle raised more awareness a few years ago. People in the vegan community just got so OVERLY militant and aggressive, they would attack vegetarians and accuse them for being hypocrites. And they felt the need to grab a megaphone to let everyone know how "vegan" they are. Like, you're more than just your eating habits!?...
be careful
a lot of fake LGBTQ, as in posers are out there, they are woke activists that infiltrate legit LGBTQ social circles so they can influence and steer people into the direction and to agree with what the activists want
People who talk like you described are part of the TQ+ crap. Us on the side of the LGB are not like that. I'm glad you stay away from all that nonsense.
Just so sick of having to know what characters are doing with their dangly bits.
I call them the Alphabet Cult. That's the best description imo because the hell with saying lgbtqia+2😂
Exactly! It’s a religion
I just call them the IDGAF+ -
I personal am a fan of referring to them as Rainbow Mafia.
Sweet Baby is a cancer to Gaming in general. If the company didnt like the Tomb Raider games why bother working on them?!
Because the message must spread at all costs
Much like recently with Rocksteady, the Crystal Dynamics that gave us the Soul Reaver games along with the Tomb Raider Legends trilogy are no longer there. Its Crystal Dynamics in name only.
@@EndymionTv Bingo, The agenda is now more important than profits. They dont plan on us being around past 2030 anyways. They have allll the assets they could ever dream of.

All I know is I'm angry. I was looking forward to this re-release. But then they had to ruin it by publicly virtue signaling about how racist it is.
Maybe I'll go replay Anniversary instead. Or just get out the old DOS CD ROMs.
Glaad translation; gaming does not over-represent sexual fetishes the way other media forms do.
Japan has some LGBTQ games mostly Visual Novels as long as they're tagged with "Yaoi/Yuri" unlike Netflix's who pulled LGBTQ tag out of "Dahmer"
Ever heard of "Yuru Yuri" an All-Girl Anime?
How about "Lycoris Recoil" or "Houseki no Kuni"?
Japan has had lewd tropes the west only more recently has made popular for centuries though. But unlike the West, Japanese culture knows and admits it's not normal.
The thing is, the Japanese make good entertainment, not thinly veiled propaganda
True. Final Fantasy V had a trans main character, Faris, and that game was released in 1992. They were already represented with main characters 32 years ago and are still complaining.
The US has a large number of those games. All mainly indie developed for PC, and usually visual. No need for a label when the description stands out enough.
Japan has had gay in a lot of their content for a long time but unlike the west they don't grab a megaphone and loudly shout how tolerant they are
The best we can do is to NOT buy any woke bullshit games, but instead SUPPORT games like Stellar Blade to send a message. In the end, it's all about money. When woke studio games FAIL and real games like Stellar Blade being SUCCESSFUL, they can't deny anymore what gamers REALLY WANT.
I wonder which block in Tetris will satisfy GLAAD's demands.
The L block because it's not straight.
this is so sickening how they are forcing their royal gayness onto everyone...
instead of rainbowifying old movies/games into modern wokeness

they should form their own studios and create whatever new games/movies they want..

@Q_24 Based Mods is real.
There should be an option to turn off all LGBT stuff at the beginning. You want it? Go for it, but for those who find it repulsive, let us just not have it.
Didn’t bother with that game, don’t need to be subjected to the BS.
This is precisely why I buy almost no new games. I'll play my old games over and over like Battlefield where none of this occurs or indie games this sort of stuff isn't pushed on me.
So they think that 83% of gamers should be force feed the content for 17% of gamers. These people are full of crap. Vote with your money. Pay attention to what is being put out and if anything is in the game that you don’t care for don’t purchase it. Stop preordering games. Check first after it has come out and protect yourself for any unwanted propaganda. Let them make 17% of the money until they learn not to force things where they don’t need to be.
Exactly this. I had same thought
sadly,too many people are programmed for the mindless consumerism mindset.
Do's not matter games are not made for us its for ESG Black Rock with forced behavior agenda

As a gay guy I always roll my eyes when journalists say stuff like this. Not EVERY single piece of media needs representation all the time, they can of course add it as long as they consider quality rather than *the message*. Vi and Caitlyn's relationship in Arcane is way better than a random game adding rainbow flags all over New York.
Well, when you're an overtly privileged, pampered, lazy, entitled, narcissistic, greedy, selfish, petty, jealous, envious, emotionally unstable and have an extreme sense of "white/heterophobia" like these people do, then yes. You do HAVE to see yourself in every single piece of media created, because these people think that they are gods at this point, "oppressed" gods who are also "victims" that is.
I'm yet to meet a gay person or minority who actually enjoys the cr*p coming out of modern Hollywood. In fact, 99% of the LGB part of the community seems based and normal, it's the TQIA+'s that make the rest of ya'll look bad.
Were in the same boat bro i have melanin in my skin
Arcane does the same kind of pandering, you simply enjoyed the franchise and it’s woke bits did not bother you
It's the urban monoculture mental virus. It permeates and infects everything. And it's fascist. "You can be free, but ONLY in the narrow confines of what WE define as correct lingo and mindsets."
Remember guys it was never about acceptance
the woke agenda in games and movies is funded by Vanguard and Blackrock. It's apart of agenda 30 and the world economic Forum push for what they want.
There is a bigger agenda at play they are pushing LGBTQ into games / movies to corrupted and brainwash today's youth, to normalise the unnormal to engineer society,invert what's normal and to weaken men, destroy morals and the family unit and it's a form of populat ion control. This is a sign of a collapsing, morally bankrupt society

If they pull this same stunt with Legacy of Kain Remasters, I’m gonna announce full TTD.
Don't let them play you. The tomb raider remastered collection is made by Aspyr, not CD. They(CD) put that disclaimer in to sabotage the games release. You should support it if you want tomb raider to have a chance at returning to form. CD wants to make Lara Croft lame and gay, don't let hem have their way. If the remastered is successful Embracer may force CD to make Tomb raider closer to its original roots.
@@stefilduce7452
What Tomb Raiders are they remastering? Steam has the original 3 games remastered now and I bought it without a second thought!
@@NateL1992 I meant that CD is likely wanting to start a new trilogy. Where Lara has a diverse sidekick and is lesbian. It will likely have a message of returning "stolen" artifacts to indigenous cultures. it will likely have a WHITE male as the villain. Lara croft being a beloved female character in gaming makes her a target for these activists to be subverted. Their strategy is so formulaic it pretty much writes itself.
@@stefilduce7452
Yeah more than likely they'll go that route. They're disgusting people
@@stefilduce7452 It's worse they want to "unifying" her. That mean steal the old character combine with new from trilogy and continue as a man faced Lara probably gay, idk.
If the percentage of games with LGBTQ was proportional to the amount of players who are LGBTQ, we'd have SO much less of this it wouldn't be considered a problem.
they can't have it both be proportoinal to a tiny minority, and have every game full of it.
This whole 'representation industry' is a shakedown racket.
Wokeness and the fact that it appeared in the Sweet Baby list killed my hype for Hyper Light Breaker. I'm a huge Hyper Light Drifter fan, I play it every year, but now?

Yeah dissapointed that Heart Machine the studio that made Hyper Light Drifter is working for them but i'm not surprised considering they hired Zoe Quinn for Solar Ash.
"we need more gay characters" no we dont, most people dont care about a persons sexuality, but when its put front and center, there is not enough people to support this to make a profit. Why did the south park "put a chick in it and make her gay" resonates so well.

@@randomrhino7500 None would be better.
@@xavierhouston4650 I’m just saying, there’s nothing wrong with LGBT in video games, as long it handled by personal’s who care, about story writing /wold building and game Play , instead of whiny activists Who I don’t have an inch of care about source material story telling and gameplay. Innovation.?
Imagine if they made a game with all the genders that are made up, a player would spend months just on the creation of the character. If another gender came out, they would complain that that gender was not included. Its like a Lara Croft game out and people complaining that they could not play a male character, because Lara Croft is not male. I played TF2 several years ago and a player on our team was complaining that there was enough LGBT representation in the game for hours while not supporting or helping the team. He just whined while not trying to win the game or support the team. He just ranted and he was medic that healed nobody. We just left the server and went to a private server so we could actually play and relax.
Wow i've never seen something like that on TF2.
There a lot more people roleplaying femboys to be honest. (and some people hating on them)
Well, most don't speak and play.
TF2 is actually a game that LGBT people like from what i've seen, especially gay. An all male cast is extremely rare
Even tho, from the lore, not one of them is LGBT
With a few exceptions like Elden Ring, I've spent the bulk of the last 3 years replaying classic because of woke games. I don't think there should be ANY LGBTQ content in ANY game ANYWHERE, EVER. I just want to play a game I don't care about the characters sex lives.
Child 😅
Exactly, just play older games we have like 8 generation to fall back on emulators etc. Do not give these asshats any money. We can do this
I fully agree with you.
I wouldn't mind it, so long as it's not constantly shoved in my face and makes the characters and gameplay terrible.
I couldn’t agree more. Degeneracy shouldn’t be allowed in vidya.
I learned a valuable lesson because of Spiderman 2. I will never again preorder a game and I will check the wokeness level first. Also if Sweet Baby Inc is involved it's an automatic no buy.
Same here.
I remember a big figure (can't remember who it was) saying that companies have no responsibility, their only responsibility is to make money, at the time I thought that to be unfair because companies should care for the environment and not destroying the planet, fast forward to now and I wish we can go back to companies only responsibility being making money.

There is zero diversity and representation of Igbt in both movie and games as villains. I never seen a movie with villain being Igbt and they dont ask for that.

You can never pander enough, unless you just declare that "gaming is inherently offensive to minorities" and ban the very concept of gaming.
Only when once they DESTROYED it on their OWN terms will they consider having done enough.
Was planning to buy Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, but now probably won’t. Politicizing and sexualizing games is the opposite of marketing them. You just lose half to 100% of your audience.

I dont wanna be involved into political sphere, because have heath problem and other stuff to more worry about, like lacking of money, job search and family drama.
They are already hyper over represented in all forms of media. I'm so sick of this claim they are "marginalized" groups. When you have hiring requirements at most of these places that a minimum percentage of their workforce HAS to include people from your group you aren't marginalized, you are favored!
GLAAD is cooking the books. The rarest thing in modern games are heterosexual women protagonists. They either LGBTQ (most of the time) or they have no sexuality mentioned. Male characters are quickly following suit. GLAAD is likely using all games to make this under-representation claim. They are likely including mobile games, arcade games, action focused games and games like candy crush and word games to prove their hogwash numbers. Also, Steam doesn't even put the LGBTQ tag on a lot of games that have an LGBTQ characters. Their article exposes that GLAAD is interested in ONE thing: POWER.
I genuinely didn't know what GLAAD was, and now that i do, still don't care if they have anything to say about games. The core audience of games couldn't give 2 shites about lgbt being in the game as long as its naturally done and not a detriment to the story or gameplay
They are exaggerating the numbers of LGBTQ "gamers" so they could demand more representation. The numbers are nowhere near as big as this political organization pretends it is.
I would equal GLAAD with PETA, you know the insane animal rights activists who actually do more harm with their antics than good
What GLAAD is doing is tooting their own horn at the expense of actual LGBTQ+ people, because they seem to have an agenda they want to put before a honest acceptance.
it's a fight for normalcy. They are fighting. Are you?
The hell they mean with "not gay enough"? I could have sworn that most games and movies last year were really gay.
Glaad needs to sit down and shut up. It’s annoying and it doesn’t make money. It’s killing entertainment. Companies like sweet baby Inc and Glaad..need to go away.
This, this right here, is the main reason I got into politics to try to get that bs out of my games.
What games are you guys all playing with. Only knew two of them I thought my head with gay people in it and I've only played one of them. And I play tons of games
Really need to push back even harder against this crap.
Fully agree.
On the subject of homosexuality, I always like to draw a parallel between two gay characters by the same company: Steven Cortez from Mass Effect 3 and Dorian Pavis from Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Steve was a great character. He was caring, diligent, talented, and funny. He had great chemistry with the entire crew, especially James Vega. He had victories, emotions, flaws, deep personal pain which lay behind his motives, and took part in the shared human experience. And he was gay.
Dorian on the other hand... His character wasn't terrible, but throughout my playthroughs, he could never seem to shake the classic "gay man" stereotype. He was always so flamboyant and over the top that it led to his character falling a bit flat for me. Now, I didn't romance him, and I've heard that he gets a lot deeper if you do, but I think that highlights the difference.
Dorian, if he's not gay, ends up losing something in the wash. Cortez on the other hand is a great character whether you romance him or not. Cortez is a great character whether he's gay or not. That's what makes him a great example of how to do homosexuality right in gaming.
Because Steve wasnt a Gay Man TM.
He was just a dude who you find out had a husband that was killed, and he didnt constantly remind you he was gay, his story was about a guy grieving for a dead loved one and how he came to terms with it.
Most of his back story dialogue was how he used to be a fighter pilot, and how he liked watching ships.
Him being gay was just a small part of his character, not his defining characteristic.
@@stevepalpatine2828 Exactly. I've got no problem with that kind of representation, because it doesn't reduce people to the sum of their parts.
"Hey you know how those terrible games are loaded with our DIE theology?"
"Well it's not enough, we need to make the games even worse!"
'Know all those woke games that keep failing and result in studios closing down? Yeah, we need more of that!' 🤣
At this point, gaming is either becoming a race to who makes the worst and wokest product, just for the meme, or a production of something that tries to satisfy everyone, and fails miserably, or something that tries actively to product a feminist lgbtqia+ approved dumpster fire, praised by a bunch of weird colored new pronouned cancel pigs, and selling 3 copies because it's unbearably boring. There are also the (unfortunately) many sequel/prequel/remakes of older games, with a certain core character/s retconned to be either gay, dead, or non-relevant.
Now I get why people like Final Fantasy, western games are dead or covered in rainbow sludge.
They finnaly did It. They made the 90s jocks bullys right ALL along. Being geek And nerd is now gay as fuck. And they were right calling us such then.
Well. All I can say is I am here for the great entertainment media collapse. If this is what they want to do, then I can at least rejoice in the layoffs and studio closures.
This just gives me another reason to avoid most modern games.
Yeah, this is why I just don't buy woke games. Period. If politics compromises your game design, story, characters, aesthetic, etc., you can keep it. At this point I'm so sick of this crap that I don't care how good the rest of it is, you could execute well on everything else and it doesn't matter. I will not support insanity, division, racism, or any other ism that only exists because people deny reality.
Tell your what, game companies, here's some more free advice. Make your characters attractive and give them compelling personalities. If someone on your team tells you that designing an attractive female character is sexist, fire them on the spot. If someone tells you that a person's race is their defining characteristic, kick them out the window. If one of your employees talks about representation, allow them to experience representing the unemployed. They are relics of a dying philosophy that sees people as little rivalrous groups with the same characteristics rather than as individuals. They are unknowingly propagating a philosophy of destructive division and must be removed from any position of authority or influence no matter how well intentioned they are.
I loved that games, such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age, had options to engage in gay/bi relationships, and they were generally well-loved by the gaming audience.
But, today, ESG is little more than a checkoff list to force it into you or else, and the games that follow it are reduced to mush.
Skyrim does that, without making a peep about it.
They’re maliciously presenting the stats as well, as for the movies and shows they only used single years, whereas for the games they just went with the entire catalogue for each platform.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is the last Pokémon game to say "a boy or a girl" when picking a character. It is a game that came out in 2020.
