How do you feel about forced race and gender diversity in modern games?
I personally feel very uncomfortable about it. It gives me the eerie feeling that the developer isn't trying to just give me a fun play experience, and that they have ulterior motives to their business.
The problem isn't necessarily that I have to look at a brown person or a female in a game, but more with the fact that the motives behind the diversity agenda are unclear.
different races are fine as long as they are aren't hideous different genders outside male and female is mental illness
Zachary Lee
I'm okay with that as long as I can kill them. Or fuck.
Matthew Baker
Don't worry everyone, I'm a certified incel translator. He's saying "I'm terrified of women and black people"
Nathan Long
The problem is that I've yet to receive a satisfying answer as to why we witnessed such a radical change in course in mere years when it comes to "diversity" of game characters. I am not convinced that each game studio independently concluded that the new philosophy leads to better products.
Wyatt Fisher
People actually exist who believe being caucasian is inherently evil and self-flagellate over it.
Asher Hall
Nobody is like this, stop going on /pol/ and go outside and talk to real people
Luis Morris
>mere years it's been going on for a bit longer than that
Representation is important. It doesn't hurt the end product unless it seems unnecessarily forced or shoehorned in, which tbf it sometimes is, but that's still no reason to go full "hate women and minorities gamers rise up"
Carter Lopez
Well yes, the "token black man" -phase lasted for quite some time, but the sudden change around 2015-2016 was mind-boggling.
Evan White
but the majority of gamers in America are white. The majority of gamers are men too, despite what articles telling you when they count phone games.
Sorry.
Connor Hall
I honestly don't give a fuck, but the outrage (from both sides) is fun to watch.
Bentley Evans
Literally explain how "It's ok to be white" is anything other than a racist dog whistle
Luke Smith
>nobody is like this
Bro, just go on HuffPost or Kotaku and your opinion will quickly change.
It only seems like a short time because you’re limiting the scope to the time you’ve been alive This trend of being more inclusive has been present in media for a while, but games were a very niche medium so no one really cared. As games became more popular, the scope of the people who played them increased as well and so you start to have more socially conscious types playing games. These are he same types of people who criticized TV shows and movies and books and music for a lack of diversity. Now there’s some intersection between gamers and the socially conscious so you inevitably get some complaints. tl;dr: games got more popular, attracting more types of people including SJWs
Owen Wilson
pol has just made you a fragile white snowflake
Adam Diaz
>Representation is important
It's literally not, no race is obligated to representation within any medium. That's unironically a very leftist thing to say
Carter Roberts
I have lived my entire life in a top 5 major American urban liberal and I have interacted with a person like this maybe four times.
Henry Nelson
Yeah, but that just means the cast of games will be majority white, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be entirely white as they oft used to be. And beyond that, it might also be in a developer’s interest to expand the audience of their game or franchise by trying to include more representation for newcomers to latch onto
Alexander Sullivan
I said go outside and talk to real people. Nobody irl is like this. How do you incels still not realize that the internet is great at giving vocal minorities a big voice. You retards seriously act like you can't walk 5 steps without a fat blue haired lady yelling at you about cultural appropriation
Juan Myers
Nothing makes me cringe harder than people who take video games seriously
Justin Foster
devs trying to shove politics down on people's throats always felt repulsive to me
Jason Moore
Oh, it was a dog whistle. Perhaps even by white racists. But the target demographic was something entirely different: it was a whistle to anger the anti-white people into proving that their ultimate message is that whiteness = evil. It worked like a charm and surely woke a large number of white people to the hostile atmosphere.
Ryan Smith
You'd understand if you weren't straight and white. It's the kind of thing you take for granted since you don't know what its like to not have it. Have some empathy and try to put yourself into someone else's shoes.
Robert Brown
>what's 2+2 and don't say it's 4 I want a real answer
Michael Wright
hardly buy games anymore it really sucks every game is the same sjw/feminsit shit over and over again can´t remember the last time a western game had an actual sexy or likeable female character in it.
Joshua Torres
it's shit the only nigger I like in my vidya is wesley snipes
Elijah Parker
>Implying being a leftist is bad
Michael Bailey
>sudden user, it started surging around 2012. The "sudden change" is just a culmination of years of build-up.
Wyatt Davis
I don't know everybody outside of the people who already agreed with your message thought it looked pretty foolish
Owen Edwards
Doesnt bother me one bit. I only "notice" it when i spend more than an hour on this Yea Forumsesspool
David Sullivan
The campaign came out of nowhere and the hostile reaction was immediate, before anyone outside of pol knew who was behind it. No symbolism or implications were included, just the mere message "it's ok to be white". >but why would it need to be stated considering it's obvious You can go ahead and deny the general anti-white mentality in the West and specifically US, but I won't agree with you.
Jason Powell
Through the same fundamental mechanics that makes "It's ok to be black" or anything else is anything other than a racist dog whistle.
Tyler Robinson
You're gonna have to explain how that image implies that at all. Nobody is saying that being white is evil at all
Tyler Long
Who's the cutie?
Eli Parker
I don't mind, end of the day I make a white male regardless of my options.
Just make good characters not mouthpieces.
Alexander Foster
>someone else's shoes you put yourself in his shoes first.
Imagine not being able to wear other things besides polo shirts just because niggers claim the urban style is theirs...
Eli Lopez
If a reaction to saying "whiteness is ok" is not only disagreement, but vicious, hateful denial, then you can conclude that the person associates whiteness with evil.
Jeremiah Bell
Clash with hair for some reason.
Jayden Russell
I'm overcome with a profound sense of indifference. Scientists around the globe have calculated my level of interest and have found it to be absolute zero which previously was thought to be mathematically impossible. I care so little that other peoples concern cannot escape the gravity of my ennui and they also stop caring. There is a 40 foot radius around me where once you cross the event horizon everything is just chill and no matter what you can't escape this feeling that everything will work itself out in the end.
Leo Hernandez
>B-b-but look at all these specifically cherry picked and extreme examples of people who happen to be both idiots and leftists! Ignore all the people who are idiots and right-leaning, they’re based and red pilled

>How do you feel about forced race and gender diversity in modern games? Depends on what's your definition on 'forced diversity', because as far as i know this is how it goes here >Western game has a POC FUCKING WHITE PROPAGANDA >Japanese game has a POC based
It sucks, and is sexually a turnoff. >inb4 “have sex incel” Not with your black tranny ass.
Henry Peterson
It’s not about obligation but doing a social good by giving more people positive representations of their demographics to attach to when they’re not already invested in a piece of fiction It helps without hurting, assuming all else is equal. The issue comes in with corporations use representation as a crutch and replacement for substance
Jose Martin
White people aren't discriminated against and don't face any kind of oppression in the US. Everyone already knows its ok to be white. There's actual value in saying that it's ok to be black, since a huge part of the population actually still disagrees.
The statement It's ok to be white is in implied opposition to It's ok to be (whatever minority), since, again, everyone already knows its ok to be white. Nobody is disagreeing. This is why everyone gets mad at the people saying that
Lucas Lewis
i dig it
Hudson Davis
I don't mind about having female or black people in a game. I can't stand when developers make them hideous or dykish as a political statemen. Also i can't stand how much they need to celebrate themselves and scream all the time about how much progressive and revolutionary they're being with having female and black people in their game. That's it.
Aiden Morgan
>poc oh fuck, I just got the perfect idea for a new pol-campaign: brand "poc" (as its own word) as s slur >I saw some fucking pocs by the gas station earlier to day >eat shit, poc >ahem, fuck pocs
Owen Robinson
>Imfuckingplying i'm straight or white
See, you know what they say, when you assume, you make an ass out of you and.. well just you
Your logic crutches on on identity politics to (attempt) to work. Either you're a guilty fucking cracker or an asshurt white "mestizo" or "half-[minority]". Fuck off, don't tell me i have to be fucking white to hate this shit
I should've said it sounded almost "too" leftist, rather
Thomas Bell
lmfao this situation has literally never happened you turbo incel. Go outside for fucks sake, you need a break from whatever echo chamber you're in.
Jackson Walker
That’s unironically true though because Japs have no commercial or PR benefit for including POC or LGBTQ representation or strong female characters since the Japanese games industry has basically resolved itself to being for Japanese men. There’s no ulterior motive and you can see that in the designs. In the west, at least in the AAA scene, representation has come to be synonymous with cheap token characters to get good PR and maybe some extra sales because nearly every AAA game that practices it is lacking or just bad. Indie games tend to be a little more earnest, like Dandara
Nathan Garcia
that doesn't make you cool and uncaring, it only makes you an evasive cuck
Leo Wright
Western black character >I'm oppressed, whitey bad
Eastern black character >Hello friend, let's go adventure
Lucas Ward
It's a great target for mouthbreathers to blame when games go wrong so the executives can get away with their shitty business practices
Christian Harris
>I'm oppressed, whitey bad characters like CJ were never like that, I dont think even ND does that
Anthony Morgan
Wow what an overreaction. I'm only saying that since you're straight and white, you would obviously never know what it's like to not be represented in media, and probably don't grasp the importance of it. I'm also straight and white, and didn't really understand either until I talked to friends about this stuff and learned their perspectives.
>Either you're a guilty fucking cracker or an asshurt white "mestizo" or "half-[minority]" This is some serious projection
Luke Sanchez
I think alot of people are smart enough when they see an agenda being pushed vs a good story being told. And it only happens to games that are popular like the upcoming Cyberpunk77, or if Cloud is going to be in a dress and wig.
Isaiah Russell
Whats wrong with her skin? Did her cousin throw acid in her face?
Brandon Reed
define forced diversity you could say that what Siege has is forced diversity, since you posted Clash but I don't think anyone would say that it fucks the game or is that noticeable they just usually go for an m/f pair for new CTUs and they've always picked from different backgrounds SAS has 4 dudes, a British one, a Scottish one, an Indian one and a whatever Smoke is Jackal is muslim, Alibi is Libyan. Even the Koreans are North/South it's obvious but never in your face, which I think is the important bit for any game being diverse characters can be whatever you want but once they start getting annoying is the issue be LGBT, be non-white, don't define a character that way
Nathan King
>social good by giving more people positive representations of their demographics to attach to when they’re not already
It doesnt do that at all, all the "um i cant identify as this character" is pure bullshit, ive NEVER heard a blacl friend complain about the lack of black people in DBZ for example, and it's not a known outcry either. If i can attach to Roland and Salvador in Borderlands 1 and 2, a blacl person can enjoy nathan drake just fine, jesus fuck you people
Jeremiah Fisher
Shut the fuck up, you definitely wear cargo shorts and anime tees anyways
Isnt her from london? Her being black doesnt look surreal
William Gomez
>The statement It's ok to be white is in implied opposition to It's ok to be (whatever minority), since, again, everyone already knows its ok to be white. Nobody is disagreeing. This is why everyone gets mad at the people saying that I've watched videos of people chimping out and aggressively removing the signs. I've seen some other signs with people writing "not" so that it reads "It's not okay to be white". People Actually believe this and things are moving in favor of people who think like this. Yes, sane people should agree with "It's okay to be white" and any other race, but that's not what's happening.
Luis Sullivan
I'm fucking pîssed by forced diversity, because the not forced black characters often are very good, and they are ruined by the forced ones.
>I'm only saying that since you're straight and white
Which ive established i'm neither you fucking idiot. Stop being so goddamn brainwashed, you're an embarrassment to your race, grow a fucking spine. No one "deserves" representation, and anyone who says otherwise is free to go get peppered in a crack den
Charles Hall
You're letting a few cherry picked examples of morons cloud your entire perception of modern social issues. Yes, obviously there are people who hate white people out there, just like there's idiots who hate any minority. But don't make the mistake of thinking they're common irl just because you see them online.
Jose Cook
It's a blatant generalization but nowadaysnit's not enough for a character to simply be afrocentric
Sebastian Carter
They're doing it to pander to the SJWs and get money from them We already buy the games so if it plays well, we buy it, but the SJWs don't know anything but complaint and whining
So they're really just trying to put their hands in more pockets
Joshua Hernandez
>a poster that's been vandalized by obviously 1 person wow, that's some proof right there.
Hunter Collins
It isn't taken for granted when whites make these things and then whites raise those things into popular successes. Women and minorities have every opportunity to make the things they want, and have had that opportunity for as long as we have. It isn't the job of white men to make their art the way you want it made.
Also, the whole "representation is important" argument is incredibly disingenuous. Just say that you like playing as black people because they look like you, and stop trying to couch it in this psuedo intellectual nonsense. Education, the family unit and not commiting the majority of violent crime are important. Maybe focus on that first, then you'll have a better crop of people that can make your blapipo games.
Hunter Bennett
Don't worry everyone, I'm a certified retard translator. He's saying "I have no arguments so I'm just going to call him a buzzword."
Isaac Turner
its how light works. black surfaces show dimples and such a lot easier because the color difference between black and white is easier to see than whiter on white.
Cameron Smith
There is no problem with actual decent thought out black characters
But the worst are some black strong dyke ones for the sake of racial/sexual diversity Ubishit tends to do that a lot and thats why their games are just bland and lack any soul
Ryder Robinson
Lame virtue signalling, doesn't help anyone, hurt devs, hurt budget, hurt creativity, and is actually more racist than simply not giving a fuck about it. It's extremely uncomfortable indeed and then let's not forget that by the same logic they want to remove any sort of idea female aesthetic and beauty as well.
this is your mind on /pol/. imagine being racist in 2019
Hudson Phillips
>But don't make the mistake of thinking they're common irl just because you see them online. Then why are game developers in some cases refusing to use white people? Why are urinalists deducting points from games because they feature white people as the main characters? Shit rolls downhill and a few voices amplified by media attention is nothing to scoff at, especially when companies are doing whatever it takes to keep sales numbers up - which includes getting approval from urinalists.
Jordan Morris
That's not a counter argument, but ok.
Blake Nguyen
>It's ok to be white and people know >"White genocide" written on the poster
The problem is that by acting this way we have strong precedent to believe these people are our enemies who do not deserve to share in the privileges since they're uninterested in being part of the process of peace that got people there
Nobody's saying "it's NOT okay to be black," with this but they're exposing what people REALLY think This isn't about balance, it's about angry people having someone to blame and somewhere to take their violent rage out. It's not okay.
In another word, why did incels get snapped off Reddit but shit like this is totally okay? Totally okay to threaten people with genocide based on skin colour?
It sounds like they don't want to coexist, which many of us are fine with-- but they're up for some real shit if they think we're gonna roll over because they have a victim/blame complex.
Bentley Nelson
I've got better shit to do than argue with a /pol/tard who's already got his head so far up his own ass that he managed to unironically type that comment out.
Zachary Ross
Again, not a counter argument.
Austin Thompson
Yikes, proving the point of the need for that poster there you little urchins desecrating it.
Dominic Adams
Maybe I'll ask your mom for one next time I see her
>White people aren't discriminated against and don't face any kind of oppression in the US.
And the kike shows his true colors. Maybe you'd have a leg to stand on if we weren't living in the internet age. But we are, and all of your articles, seminars and classes about ending whiteness and white people are laid bare for everyone to see. Image macros are a dime a dozen on this topic. White people aren't oppressed? Nigger, they're the only ones who ARE, because it has been made socially acceptable to do so.
Jonathan Anderson
Literally who cares? Are you guys seriously so autistic that you pay attention to this sort of stuff? Just play video games ffs
Michael Gutierrez
I remember an old saying of a guy i've talked, a black guy "there's two type of black person : the black man, and the nigger" is the black community really fragmented even on the inside?
Ethan Reed
At leas the opression white people face is real. You poc's have to pay to get oppressed.
Gabriel Perez
so what your saying is the dire actions taken against whites consists of things you could ignore by simply closing your eyes and walking away from the screen
>Be normie >playing the latest AAA release >there's a black character >she's ugly as sin and kinda creepy looking >is always popping up though, as if you're expected to like them >a thoroughly preachy and annoying character who's probably a Mary-Sue too >come out of the game liking black people even less
>White people aren't discriminated against and don't face any kind of oppression in the US That simply isn't true.
Wyatt Peterson
that model is disgusting. somewhat photorealistic hair on top of concrete-like skin texture.
Hudson Cruz
>Imagine having a victim complex this big
Irony like fucking nectar
William Brown
It isn't forced if the developers want to do it but really it isn't worth getting angry over since we've passed over the worst trends like how nearly every shooter used to have some bald white guy who's always angry at something. You know that shit was fucking bad too because everyone would make fun of it even back then.
>The statement It's ok to be white is in implied opposition to It's ok to be (whatever minority) Literally on what fucking planet? Is this why retards got angry over "all lives matter"?
You're retarded. White dudes watch anime full of japs all the time without getting upset there aren't more white people in it
Jonathan Long
yes it iss, rove how any white person is oppressed in the world?
Cooper Davis
He's saying white people face real oppression you fucking moron. Jesus you're a retard, you're missing your buddy's point entirely. His post was already fucking stupid.
Owen Edwards
Yes, all lives matter is the same kind of thing. Nobody disagrees that all lives matter, so the only thing someone could possibly mean by saying that is that they disagree with black lives matter
Carter Bell
thats because the facial features and hair colors in every anime is overwhelmingly white peoples facial features and hair colors. weve known this forever
Somebody please try to explain how white people are oppressed in America, I need a good laugh
Wyatt Foster
>obody disagrees that all lives matter, so the only thing someone could possibly mean by saying that is that they disagree with black lives matter You should join the Olympics, because the amount of LEAP in this logic is truly astounding. The call "all lives matter" is literally what's written on the tin. Caucasian, African, Asian, they all matter. If anything it's simply calling "black lives matter" a redundant statement. Because the implication is they believe their lives didn't matter in the first place.
Yes. Its the same retarded logic as people being offended by straight pride parade. Its retarded petty concept to make straight pride parade, but its free country and they can do whatever fucking parade they want for whatever reason they might feel. You want Lasagna parade? Go for it. The future of Metal straws expo? Sure. Cock sucking for mentally challenged public forum? Why not?
If you dont care the topic dont care for the event.
Alexander Gomez
It has been in works for a while. Read Culture of Critique.

Ryder Roberts
A reproductively incontinent population is being imported whole-sale to outbreed whites globally
Tyler Baker
Psycological conditioning on a mass scale, when shoved into every aspect of your culture, will affect large portions of the population. Why do you think we have so many self hating whites and trannies spouting off nigger logic like "you cants be raysiss at whypipo"?
Dylan Thomas
You know white people aren't perfectly united either right?
Asher Gonzalez
Imported by who?
Carson Price
There are also people who think that being caucasian is a virtue in and of itself, and they're just as stupid.
Gabriel Jones
No, I have a perfect understanding of what creates social cohesion. My ass isn't the one causing social divide and increasing acts of vandalism and brutality out on the streets. "All Lives Matter" is a rallying call to come together and work as one just like a country's flag, something that people apparently now have a problem with. "Black Lives Matter" is a self-segregating statement just like "White Lives Matter."
Blake Hernandez
The straight pride parade literally just exists in opposition to the gay pride parade you idiot. Of course people are gonna be mad, they're homophobic.
> its free country and they can do whatever fucking parade they want What a retarded non-argument. Obviously that's the case, nobody is disputing the fact that they can make any parade they want. Why even say this?
Evan Ward
Well clearly the left and right as a collective understand it better right? Oh wait, white people are being faggots out in public while black people barely get a say.
Caleb Lee
>You seriously have a 12 year old's understanding of race relations Ironically enough that is an advantage in this debate. Getting pissy about "All lives matter", because you know that its ironic response to "Black lives matter" is dumb.
The more logically accepted situation is Feminism vs Equalism. Being Feminist is redundant if you are Equalist. Imagine being pissed off on people who want equality for everybody because you want equality for women. Doesnt make sense, does it?
Hunter Fisher
Again, in this situation, saying that you're equalist is implying that you're against feminists.
Zachary Ward
What did he mean by this?
Alexander Ward
An actual case of an improvement tho
Chase Allen
It hasn't effected anything I play but it does play up my paranoia and is slightly irritating.
Nathan Rogers
The fuck you mean what did I mean by this?
>White faggots on the right >White faggots on the left >Blacks left in the crossfire when we just fucking want help fixing our messed up communities which is predominantly a black problem
Saying that though, blacks are gonna side with the right every time because the right ACKNOWLEDGES that that shit is a problem. The left fucking kicks it under the table every time. Ignoring the problem isn't fucking helping us.
William Sanchez
>The straight pride parade literally just exists in opposition to the gay pride parade you idiot. Thats where you are wrong. Straight pride parade exist because there is gay pride parade. Having a gay pride parade disturbs the equality. It was quite literally inevitable for straight white parade to become a thing as soon as they did the first gay pride parade. Its not in opposition, its complementary for it. Having both completes it.
Of course its full of people making fun of gay pride and people genuinely homophobic. Thats because having a parade because of your sexuality is retarded concept.
>What a retarded non-argument. There are people who legitimately are against the right to make the parade. You should know it if you follow the news.
Adam Collins
>General sentiment Nope >Sentiment Yes, because White people have an ongoing history of being assholes to everyone else. So of course your are going to find anti-white sentiment. Maybe if White people calmed the fuck down with the racism, everyone could just chill.
Liam Rivera
>Again, in this situation, saying that you're equalist is implying that you're against feminists. Have you tried not being a totalitarian nutjob that thinks in black and white?
Evan James
Yikes. You really doubled down on that. I have never seen anyone go that way. Saying that you are equalist is saying you are a feminist.
Jace Gonzalez
>>You seriously have a 12 year old's understanding of race relations >Ironically enough that is an advantage in this debate. I've actually noticed this in many areas of societal discourse. Children can very often provide surprisingly valuable insights since they're either unaware of uncaring of taboos, meaning they can see the obvious answer when adults have to beware of saying the socially wrong thing.
Ryan Gray
I just like people in my games being attractive. black people are ugly.
there are hundreds of ethnicities out there, but it's always ugly black people they shove in there or blackwash.
it's at it's worst when the game is themed around european history of fantasy.
Jeremiah Carter
>forced hate it , love when they do it naturally and the character is not a walking message
Eli Wood
Cringe and redpilled. Conservatives don't give a fuck about anyone other than whites. Liberals don't give a fuck either, but at least they aren't openly racist and antagonistic. The only people who actually care are leftists.
Henry Phillips
Imma be real wit u chief, if u actually give a shit abt anything other than playing just playin the vidya gaem, u need sum pussy.
Joshua Jackson
speaking of cringe.I as conservative follow MLK motto and judge people by character not the color of their skin unlike the people on the left seem to do.
Henry Carter
Game companies already have the white male demographic pretty much on lock. Pretty much our entire demo from millennial to zoomer plays some vidya. And our society operates under the mouthbreathing idea of infinite growth capitalism. So when you conquer one demographic, it logically follows to pander to another one and theoretically get even more money. That means more black characters, more gay characters, more female characters. You're literally just bitching about capitalism, commie.
Christopher Jenkins
This man is telling you to read a subversive book banned by amazon. Do not read the book. It is a dangerous book.
Josiah Martin
every unironic racist I've met has leaned toward the left and would call me a coon for acting white.
Aiden Watson
You are right. Especially because kids are not interested in these topics and have not cared to listen to other people's opinions. So when you ask them about these topics, they more often than not are thinking about it for the first time in their lives and do rely only on logic and common sense to arrive on a conclusion.
Meanwhile adults often parrot whatever they heard somebody else say whether its because they dont want to share their actual opinions or because they dont want to have one of their own at all.
Brandon Bell
Well, this hypothetical situation was presented to me in black and white
Most of the time in actuality, the people who would be calling themselves "equalists" actually mean that they only care about feminist causes as long as they don't get too troublesome or uppity
Austin Harris
Somehow, I don't believe you.
Benjamin Butler
>The only people who actually care are leftists. Is that why our communities literally got fucking worse under Obama? "Caring" is a funny word here when this has been the case under most liberal leaders. They don't create job opportunities, they don't try and quash this retarded fucking stigma of "acting whitey" or "being an Uncle Tom" (i.e. not acting like a gang banger) among blacks which is a real problem, and they don't help heal social divides between races. Every time these faggots have gotten anywhere near our communities, crime was driven up and trust among people was broken.
Gabriel Phillips
>Game companies already have the white male demographic pretty much on lock. but the companies still need to compete with each other for this otherwise "locked-in" demographic. case in point: Wolfenstein 2 and Battlefield V. Both commercial failures that tried desperately to pander to the female, brown, leftist audience.
You need to get around better people. Who is calling anyone a coon in 2019 besides 70 year old White men?
John Baker
what's with you retards any black character in a video game is sjw now what kind of logic is this you sound like the sjw you hate
Daniel Barnes
actually I wear crocs >angry tranny telling someone get outside >on 5chan
Justin Perry
A better question would be... is diversity really a strength? Is diversity really "good" for a society? A Western society in particular?
Ask yourself this question honestly, do some research and you might find out.
Ryan Carter
>and try to put yourself into someone else's shoes. But that's thing. Empathy isn't based on skin color. If I should be able to empathize as a black character you should be able to the reverse. Meaning, by your own logic, race isn't important. If you can't empathize with a character based on the color of their skin or because they do not "represent" you, then you are a sociopath
Same here. I don't act like a drugged up fucking nigger so I'm just an Uncle Tom pushing hatred and oppression. I don't want your sloppy second palette swap Capeshit and instead I want more characters like Luke Cage, Cyborg or T'challa so I'm just a self-hating black boy.
Ayden Price
Seriously, how do you justify voting for conservative politicians? Tons of them are openly racist, and they all push regressive policies that hurt minorities and anyone who isn't the 1%.
Jordan Green
Imagine being so smooth brained that you think Obama is a leftist. Was it the centrist health care reform, or the centrist deporting the shit out of spics to fruitlessly pander to conservatives, or the centrist Supreme Court pick to pander even further to conservatives?
Joseph Scott
People choosing not to buy the game if they don't like it is part of capitalism. Also, their reason for not purchasing the game could be as stupid as they want - it's not up to you to decide, it's up to each consumer.
Jeremiah Jenkins
of course not. it's defended as a pure cult-mentality and seen to have intrinsic value.
Eli Anderson
Hard disagree on T'challa. Or anything Marvel frankly
Eli Brown
I think you tried to make an edgy post on Yea Forums, and literally had no idea what kind of racist insults 20 something Black people actually use. No 20 year old Black person is calling anyone a coon, you concern trolling retard.
Hudson Bailey
>call me a coon for acting white. It's probably because you're a conservative. Conservative politicians hate black people, so they're rightfully upset at anyone who votes conservative.
Charles Bennett
>feminist causes as long as they don't get too troublesome or uppity Thats true. People who are leading these movements are imperfect. In ideal world the feminists would aim to empower women to a point where they would be equal to men. Thats not their actual agenda. Feminists aim to empower women.
In the same way people who identify as equalist are not perfect either and might not really care about the issues all that much.
Alexander Cruz
A lot better than seeing nothing but white people
Mason Cooper
>Deporting illegal immigrants can only be a move of the right No see, until the left was infected by crazed nutjobs, deporting illegal immigrants was kind of an enforced law.
Ryan Taylor
Yes, I agree the no side is perfect, but I do think that you should try to side with progress as much as possible, within reason. All I do know for a fact is that the world is fucked right now, and big changes need to happen.
Blake Torres
so why do you retards never post anything new only those npc characters from years ago
Juan Cooper

They're in the "feeling it out" phase of this thing, but personally I think in about a decade they'll figure out what is and isn't effective diversity pandering. It's not going to stop of course, we don't have a functioning economy that isn't obsessed with rampant consumption, and that requires a forever growing maw of consumers. Gritty shooters will likely realize pandering to those groups isn't showing much of a positive increase in profits, but your standard RPGs, looter shooters, battle royale, adventure games, etc. can still very easily pander into infinity.

>can only be a move of the right The post you replied to goes out of its way to tell Obama can't be called a leftist by any metric, and you think that this is the point?
Anthony Davis
It's not about empathizing with the characters, its about little black boys being able to see people that look like them in their media. Nobody's saying you can only relate to characters of your own race lmao.
Nicholas Flores
Because everyone that matters in Dragon Ball Z is either an alien or generic animu race.
I still don’t get why people argue against representation. Of course white peolle don’t have to worry about representation, it’s an afterthought because everything has white people, but I hate how the representation argument always boils down to “it doesn’t affect me, so why does it matter” argument. It’s like you’re all incapable of seeing something from another perspective.
He didn't need to, because those Mexicans were illegals. Keep up.
Hunter Wood
I cant agree with you more. That being said fixing the world is not something I want to be responsible for. I would rather just live in the world that we have than try to change it. I just dont want to put in the effort myself. Does that make me part of the problem?
Cameron Garcia
nobody is against representation, I'm just again retconning whats already been established just to be "inclusive" A good example of that is J,K Rowling and only in the end, pissed everyone off.
Luke Gutierrez
White people have helped other races for most of their fucking existence. Who do you think is sending all this money to the poor minorities around the world?
Anthony Wood
>Like an entire race less because of one video game character
And they say liberals have the mental disorders
Isaac Bennett
> Does that make me part of the problem? Only if you refuse to accept the change when it happens, or vote for politicians that actively try to prevent change like republicans or corporate dems. Basically don't be racist or sexist or vote for shitty politicians and you're good in my book
Nathaniel Jenkins
Asians are the most racist group of people, but it's among other Asians. People got all butt flustered over that Airline commercial with white face. youtube.com/watch?v=qyy1HC9MTHc
I guess you live my life user. You don't know shit.
Isaac Hernandez
When I was a shithead aryan looking kid, I was all in on gloating about how Goku got blonde hair and green/blue eyes when he became super saiyan, so even in that representation can be a pretty good confidence booster.
Daniel Roberts
Maybe the black boys should grow up to be good black adults, get a job in the media and make good black characters for the next generation of black boys. Why should the whites be forced to put blacks in their media?
Mason King
Nobody’s gonna listen to you.
Hundreds of games with bald, white speesh muhrines are okay, but as soon as a game has a black secondary character, all of a sudden whites are an oppressed minority? This is why nobody takes incels seriously.
Lucas Butler
In other words you don't know yourself, you just see it when you do, even if happen to be wrong cause they didn't happen to think like you.

Because 'representation' in nine out of ten times in most games involves representing minorities purely as a good thing, devoid of any otherwise attached nuance their presence would and could bring. You go out of your way to represent minorities because you want to push your idea of what's normal, so being critical of what's being represented would completely go against your original intent.
Over the years the politics in games have shifted from speculative to representational. Before games would explore a central idea or theme from as many angles as possible, leaving it up to the player to draw their own conclusion on what's presented. But with representational politics the 'message' is often forcefed to the player, leaving little room for alternative interpretations. What's being represented is unequivocally shown as a good thing, and you're just expected to accept it.
By being expected to give a constant leg up to minorities, writers are restricted to which extent they can explore the themes surrounding said minorities because they fear backlash if they dare represent an unprivileged minority negatively, or because they innately believe they deserve a leg up.
Owen Jones
Creating straight pride in opposition to gay pride is just a bunch of white guys projecting their insecurities on everyone else. Prove me wrong.
Why are white guys the only ones starting this nonissue bullshit? Just let the fags have their fucking month.
Carson Flores
JUST GO EXTINCT ALREADY YOU FUCKIGN WHITE PEOPLE
IT IS NOT OKAY TO BE WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEING WHITE IS RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>How do you feel about forced race and gender diversity in modern games? I feel like I want people to stop talking about it. I don't really give a fuck one way or the other, the most annoying aspect is people that jerk games off for doing it and fags here that jerk each other off over hating it.
You're all retards and I hope america nukes itself soon because god damn you guys are fucking retards. I just want to talk about my hobbies.
If your game doesn't feature lesbians, why even make a game? Fuck niggers though. I'm not racist btw.
Grayson James
>Be normie >playing the latest AAA release >there's a white character >he's ugly as sin and kinda creepy looking >is always popping up though, as if you're expected to like them >a thoroughly preachy and annoying character who's probably a Mary-Sue too >come out of the game liking white people even less Roman is meme tier based though.
>White people aren't discriminated against and don't face any kind of oppression in the US.
Whites are facing 4 out of the 5 definitions of genocide as defined in the Geneva Convention in not just the US but the entirety of the west.
Evan Turner
Seems like a good deal to me. I vote for politicians that are trying to improve areas that I find interesting. Which for me is the technology. Freedom of internet, Copyright laws, eGovernment and reduction of the bureaucracy in general. I dont know their stance on the racial and gender issue honestly since its not my interest, but since its mainly young people I believe its quite progressive.
Joshua Murphy

So getting insecure over something you know is a trumped up lie just makes you an even bigger faggot than you were before
Grayson Gutierrez
its not forced, you just dont like it Go play a different game Nobody is forcing you do to anything
Is that what was happening when people were bashing Kingdoms Come and Witcher for not having enough blacks? I am not saying blacks arent trying to do their own media. I am saying that people should stop trying to force white people to include black people in their media.
Xavier Diaz
As a black user, only time I expect a diversity of options is when there is a create-a-character option. As far as the forced diversity, it is just annoying that diversity = ugly as fuck female character.

Benjamin Robinson
Are you very sure you're not just chugging sensationalist bullshit news from some youtube outrage machine? Because I've moved around quite a bit when I was going to community college, and most of it has been in commiefornia, what people think of as liberal mecca. The central California college was if anything conservative leaning, the college in San Diego was liberal but I never saw anything beyond just an appreciation for Obama, and the biggest liberal thing I saw in the one in Bakersfield was a professor kicking some guy out of class because he wouldn't refer a MtF trans with female pronouns after being warned for like 2 weeks. I'm sure there are dark corners of the colleges devoted to these cringy retards wanting to kill all whites, but we have cringy retards wanting to kill all jews and blacks on this site, they're both equally powerless so why the fuck should anyone care? It's empty threats.
Cameron Barnes
Because allowing taboos on sexuality to be broken by normalizing non-hetero relationships is a stepping stone to further depraved fetishes in the future which the modern-day gays will regret having brought about. When you allow people to be more open with their kinks and to normalize them in the public space, it won't be before long when people transform themselves in their fursonas through surgery and all other kinds of body modifications to enable their fetishes and/or lifestyles, as with transgender people.
I mean, you have to admit that's a likely consequence of this ongoing sexual liberation.
Evan Collins

>Prove me wrong. Prove yourself right. You made some outrageous claims and the burden of proof is on your side. I am sure its full of people who just dont want to see gay suck dildos while marching down the streets wearing rainbow dresses. There are probably many reasons one would want to join the straight pride parade. And they can.
>Why are white guys the only ones starting this nonissue bullshit? White? Did you mean straight?
>Just let the fags have their fucking month. I will give them the whole year. Lets support gays all year round, how about that? They can have parades every day if they keep it decent too. So can straight people. Would you not agree?
Elijah Brown
That's pretty realistic considering there are more black women than black men in the military.
Gavin Nguyen
If I got a character select I want it to be diverse as possible, nothing worse than having half your roster be shotos.
Isaac Nelson
Is that you saying you were wrong? Because that should be you saying you were wrong when you said anything about people being autists screeching over diversity hires.
Brayden Ward
Because only white men care about the future of their country. Niggers, spics, fags, etc, just want to turn it into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. White women are retarded and will side with whoever seems to be winning, like all women.
Chase Gonzalez

It’s because a racially divided populace is easier to rule over.
If you support “diversity”, you are nothing but a brainless unthinking soldier of the corporate status quo. You will do nothing but make everything worse for everyone.
Brayden Carter
How do you feel about forced whiteness and gender exclusion modern games?
I personally feel very uncomfortable about it. It gives me the eerie feeling that the developer isn't trying to just give me a fun play experience, and that they have ulterior motives to their business.
The problem isn't necessarily that I have to look at a white person or a male in a game, but more with the fact that the motives behind the racist agenda are unclear.
Gays wouldn’t be nearly as big as faggots as they are now if they weren’t repressed by societal standards. Basing a culture around religion was a stupid idea from the gate because we only ended up with faggots and conservative Christ cucks as a result.
I mean hell, fags couldn’t even go fuck off to their own own spaces and fuck in secrecy without conservarive Christ cucks reeeeing and busting their skulls. That’s why gay pride exists in the first place, you nitwit.

SJWs will hopefully be gone by 2020, unfortunately vegans are being set up to be the next big "rebellious" trend.

Totally indifferent If ugly brown people want to make games for other ugly brown people then they can go right ahead There's enough other things in the world to play and that's not going to change, because anyone can sit down and make a game about what they want
Ayden Morris
The next "rebellious trend" will be eating bugs because all of this shit is astroturfed fake rebellion and rich people want nothing more than for the lower class to resign themselves to live like chinese peasants because its "smart, efficient eating" and "good for le enviroment"
Eat shit fag, ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. Staying in the subject of Yea Forums Anita A had become a broke nobody because she was endlessly challenged not ignored.
