DOOM proved Diversity is the Future

[Muhammad Muhammad]

Let’s be blunt: If you think DOOM: The Dark Ages “abandoned its roots,” you’re missing the point. This isn’t 1993. id Software’s bold pivot to inclusive, globally resonant storytelling is why this game thrives. Here’s why critics clinging to “rip-and-tear purity” are outdated:

1. Representation Matters, Even in Hell
Commander Thira (queer, South Asian) and Kael (non-binary Maykr) aren’t “woke additions”—they’re essential. Their dynamic elevates the narrative beyond mindless slaughter, offering emotional stakes absent in past titles. The Saharan Iron Clan’s lore, rooted in African history, enriches the world. Cry about “politics” all you want—diverse characters make stories better.

2. Cultural Depth > Cheap Shock Value
The Dragon Mounts’ Aztec-inspired designs and Void Seraphs’ Balinese demonology aren’t “random.” id collaborated with historians to respect, not exploit, global traditions. The soundtrack’s fusion of Gregorian chants and West African rhythms? A masterstroke. This isn’t pandering—it’s artistic evolution.

3. Accessibility Isn’t Weakness
The Adaptive Shield System and optional co-op Mech segments welcome players who’ve felt excluded from DOOM’s hyper-masculine legacy. If “gatekeeping” is your identity, stay mad. The rest of us will enjoy a game that grows its audience.

Valve should just shut down the forums and be done with it.

I honestly can't tell if this is a ragebait ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or genuine, the wokies have gotten that bad.
Look all I'm gonna say is if someone got all that from the game there dooky brained dinguses, cuz none of that is stated or even implied.

Is this chatGPT?

I mean you still got me to laugh but the way this is written out seems like it was ran through an AI.

Doom proved that Slayer is badass demon killer.
Diversity is the past left that is left behind in the Era of Wokeness.
Segregation is the future.
