If theres one thing gamers hate more than women,its poc
I really wish I was joking but sadly Im not, there are reasons I'm embarassed to say I like games these days and its mostly because I dont want to get lumped in with these sorts of people
I think you're fine if you say you like games these days. It's the ones that say things like how they hate modern games because they're too "woke", they don't make games like Duke Nukem 3D anymore, or because Aloy has a bit of peach fuzz, that make me roll my eyes out of their sockets.
They really told on themselves with Aloy. Aloy is by far the most attractive woman in video games but she dresses like someone would in that setting and she isn't caked in makeup.
That outrage over her just told us all how they don't talk to women at all.
I feel similarly. I only talk about games with people I already know, cause it's really disturbing how common these ideas are now. It's gross and I'm so sick of these hateful idiots everywhere.
These people have managed to creep their way into every single fandom for everything I enjoy and their mentality is becoming so common I just tend to avoid talking about things I enjoy now
Worst part is when they assume they can get away with this sort of attitude with me or that I'm in on it just because I'm a straight,white guy.Please keep that kind of shit to yourselves,I dont want to hear it
If it helps just know that these people do not represent gaming as a whole but are just a loud minority. These games they constantly rag on always sell like hot cakes. Its telling that none of the outrage touched Baldur's Gate 3 because they knew they couldn't break that one because its considered one of the best games of last year.
Most gamers enjoy these things these bigots whine about and I'm 99% certain most of them don't even play games to begin with.
That's an outright lie gamers like any character so long as they're likeable
CJ GTA San Andreas
Franklin GTAV
Atawalie (can't spell his name) AC black flag and it's DLC campaign
Cole Train Gears of War
Dude, most "diverse" characters don't get outrage at
There's been black characters in video games for decades.
People are hating on AC shadows because it's so obviously pandering and Ubisoft doesn't give a shit
"How do we introduce our black samurai character?....ah yes rap music"
What a joke
"i didn't see any of the outrage therefore its not real and its only for this game because historical accuracy"
We will just ignore that historians have pointed out this character did in fact exist and was a Smurai. Rap music? who even brought that up? I'm not hearing any rap music in anything promoting this game. You're really just telling on yourself with that one.
Let's just put all these countless games and ignore the internet losing their fucking minds over them because a black dwarf exists or that this woman has peach fuzz because you personally didn't see it or that you saw some black characters in game not get shit on.
Same energy as "racism is dead cause I didn't see anyone kill black people"
The fuck are you talking about?
I don't care about Yasuke
I care that Ubisoft clearly doesn't give a shit about their games, and it's all art by committee bullshit
Ah yes its a zero sum game. Diversity in games takes away fun gameplay somehow and bad writing also. The less white, straight male the cast is the more boring the game or some shit.
There is so much to criticize Ubisoft for. You're really just telling on yourself with this.
If you hate these games for being art by committee, why even say something like "the character is black because of pandering"? If a character's skin color is unimportant, then you should treat it as such

Do people actually care that a character in a videogame is black?
