Yeah, this seems the important point. Why should we accept white male as the default assumption. If those qualities are germane, somehow, to the plot, then so be it. But to not consider diversifying characters, and to get in the habit of diversifying them, keeps us stuck in the same characters all the time.

Diversity is a good thing. Looking at every character and seeing if they should be female seems complete crazy to me. It’s rare that the gender matters at all in games (I mean storywise, not representation),so how do you have that conversation?
