Maintaining Realism without Overrepresenting LGBTQ+ in Frostpunk

[pr1nc1p3]

"In extreme survival situations, people are focused on survival, not on whom they share their bed with."

We appreciate the diverse world we live in, and understand that games, like all forms of media, reflect societal diversity. In the recent release of Frostpunk 2, some minorities want to attach the opportunity to focus on survival elements that challenge players of all backgrounds. While the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters is realistic and enriches the narrative, it is crucial to maintain a balance that reflects reality without veering into overrepresentation.

Lessons can be drawn from current trends where media companies, notably Disney, have faced criticism and decline in engagement due to perceived excessive focus on representation at the expense of story and character development. We, the gamers, the people who are going to give the money, hope Frostpunk 2 will continue to offer a rich, engaging experience without the need for overt political or social messaging, ensuring its success and the potential development of further sequels.

This approach will allow teenagers and players worldwide to enjoy the game purely for its gameplay and storytelling.

In Frostpunk 2, the political storyline plays a pivotal role in the depth and engagement of the game. However, if LGBTQ+ themes are to be included, they should represent a realistic percentage of the character demographic, avoiding the pitfalls of overrepresentation seen in other franchises like Willow. Such overemphasis can detract from the core narrative and gameplay, leading to the alienation of the audience and potentially harming the franchise's longevity and success. It is essential that the inclusion of any group serves to enhance the story rather than overshadow the fundamental elements of the game.

Thanks to the effort to developers, I just pay to support this wonderfull universe!!!!

This post gave me cancer

There is nothing "woke" about this game. You guys are getting up in arms over an obvious bait post from someone pretending to care about LGBTQ issues. This whole "debate" is completely inorganic but you brain dead morons keep pretending it isn't. Just... for the love of God... talk about what's actually in the game...

There is nothing "woke" about this game at the moment and this post is to plead with the authors not to heed OTHER posts where forced over-representation is requested in our beloved game

If a plea that this does not turn into a new "Rings of Power", "Willow 2", "Snow White with dwarfs of various heights", or "Bridgerton" whitewashing the English past gives you cancer... It's not our problem.

Keep this game with a good story by avoiding focusing on people's genitals or talking too much about who they sleep with

What even is this post? Are you fishing for jester awards? The previous one was locked and yet here you are trying to construct nonexistent boogymen to crusade against.

Grow up and wean yourself off of the "omg wokeness!" kool-aid.

Its a Games, Not a Politics Genders Organisation


This Game are intended to be played, feel enjoyement, Gift you a good Gameplay Moment

Politics Genders Organisation are intended to try dividing us, Change the Reality, To Take The Law for themself ect ect


Then PGO have no place to be in this game Because a Games is intended to be played, and Politics Genders Organisation have no place to be there by a simple reason this game are purely a Imaginary Lore and Politics are something exist in Real Life

mixing those two things are purly stupid and unproductible

You guys are insane. I hope the devs replace the snow in this game with glitter- not to promote any agenda, but simply out of spite.

If your paranoia goes this far, wouldn't you think that your post might inadvertently put the idea in their head? Maybe now, because of YOU, they think going the DEI route is actually a really good idea?

So yeah, it's going to happen, AND it's all your fault.
And then, of course, kids are going to accidentally play this game, and become gay too. All because of you!
Seriously, how do you even sleep at night?
