DEI only care about making a safe space for everyone and we need them.

[Esper]

Incorporating diversity is not just beneficial - it's essential. By portraying a range of inclusion, games can reflect real-world diversity and help players feel included and represented. This representation not only fosters empathy and understanding but also allows for more nuanced storytelling and character development. Furthermore, diverse representation can challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity within the gaming community. Ultimately, embracing diversity in games leads to a more enriching and empowering gaming experience for all players and im thankful for the devs to be concerned about it.

Only bigots and incels are roasting the game, these people are hateful by default and should not be parameter for anything. Quite the contrary, I'm happy that companies are increasingly adopting a more progressive stance, while bigots cry louder and louder, it's a delight for my eyes to watch.

If it were essential, games that didn't have it wouldn't function.

This is why nobody takes you people seriously. You literally cannot stop yourselves from using word salad to try and overstate your case.

We don't live in primitive times anymore. in the past women and black people didn't have rights either, but that didn't stop them from functioning.
Diversty is essential now, because society evolves. Just like bathrooms, showers and clothes are essential for you.
A game where players can identify with the character makes it more immersive, games are escapism after all and we all want to be represented in games in different ways. The more representative the better, unless you have something against those people, which just makes a prejudiced individual, therefore you are the problem here not the games.

You have the main character syndrome. I don't want to be represented in games. You do, but I don't. I definitely did not feel represented while playing "Pesticide Not Required" but I love that game. Stop pretending that your point of view applies to everyone and is evolution and I won't say that mine is, deal?

I also don't really understand why LGBTQ never address the very big amount of people that transition and regret it by... Doing something really sad (not using a particular word to avoid creating ruckus with the steam bot). Do you think that force feeding kids with that stuff through video games is a good thing? Cause if you do, well, it doesn't affect me so I don't care too much but it's SO sad for their families... Like, of course people should be allowed to do whatever they want but what woke people have created is a trend, like "oh it's so cool to be woke", and it seduces young kids/teenagers into taking certain medication that will affect the rest of their lives while they are not even old/mature enough to buy beer... Ain't that insane when you think about it?

Honest question, and I expect you to give me a fully honest answer.

How? How is diversity "Essential"?

funny how diversity does not include diversity of thoughts.

People likes to see a character they can identify with, who shares the same choices they made in life.
Especially now that we live in a time where games are increasingly expressive and realistic, diversity are essential to maintain that realism and immersion. You can easily play a game where no character represents you, but you can't deny the experience is greatly improved when that happens and better experience is what companies are looking for. Any improvement is required.

The overwhelming majority do not regret it, quite the contrary, a large part of suicide rate among trans people is caused because they did not have the necessary support to transition. That's not the point of the discussion, however.

Wtf do you even mean? no one is forcing children to do anything, there is no advertising in any game telling children to be lgbt. You are upset because gays are geting more spotlight in the media now, this bothers you probably because you have a bias against them. Thats what i call prejudice. Like I said, the problem lies with people like you only.

Sure... Except for all those instances where a child was taken through government mandated GRS, because the public school teachers planted the idea into children, or a deranged mother went across states to California because the father wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Yes, sure, because all those "Pride Events" in games aren't there to try and advertise that junk.
Most damning game would probably be Sea of Thieves in that regard. A game that has a "Fun for all the family" aesthetic, and yet those Redditors at Rare can't help but pump up all that fidgetry. Hell, their official Discord looks like it needs to put on a watchlist given the profiles of most of the users there being around children.

They have always been in the limelight. Media hasn't just started existing in 2016.

It's called pattern recognition. And yes, I do have a bias towards homosexuality, thanks to the years and years of them acting ever more like that one charicature where it's an obnoxiously flamboyant gay guy trudging around looking for children to hang out with.

There is nothing wrong to having a bias against predatory people. Which is what a lot of the Alphabet Soup defining people are.

Mind you, gay people who reject the Alphabet Soup are just that: Normal everyday people living their life. It's the Alphabet Soup people who should be under scrutiny.

You just disproved your own argument. You admitted society functions without it.
What would happen if it suddenly wasn't there?
- Profit?
- People NOT hating each other like they have since the marxist crusade started?
- 4th wave feminists needing to get actual jobs?
Its not essential. Most of the world doesn't have or want it. You just prefer it because it affirms your self image and questionable life decisions.

...Does not go down among those who transition. Almost like cosmetic surgery doesn't solve psychological or neurological afflictions.

Originally posted by Reiji:

Don't lie. This game is doing exactly this by design. That's what propaganda is.
You also disproved your own argument again.
Why do you think games or anything on TV have ratings?
Because children at an impressionable age take what they see as something they should be or do. Decades of child psychology research proved this again and again.
Sooo with a "spotlight in the media" meaning kids see or play concepts that are ordinarily super rare (like normally between 2% - 0.2% of population) suddenly the next generation think its good to be: overweight, emotionally fragile, selfish, victimised virtue signallers.

There has never been, at any point in history anywhere in the world, a society that was built or maintained by the fringe currently being pandered to.
Society only got to where it is because greedy people figured out you could make money shaming others into doing something by accusing them of being itsaphobes.

When Larry Fink and George Soros realise there's no more money or power to be had in it, you'll be left with nobody bankrolling your fantasies, and a trail of embarrassing nonsensical public statements.

If clothes are so essential, you might wanna think about wealth inequality too!
