The last great year to love games was in 2006 or so, before PC thugs decided that video games needed to be persistently politicized and used to push an agenda. The world of video games is miserable these days, infested by useful idiots and agenda driven rats, and those of us who just want to play casually and for fun…

Sounds good to me, get on with it.

Yeah, but you play as a white male, so Kotaku is required to hate it.

Remember, if you have opinions or desires opposed to the Progressive Fascist Agenda, you have no rights.

Just blame the patriarchy and white people.

The second I saw the villain was a black woman, I predicted that she wouldn’t die and would in fact turn out to be not such a bad person after all. Look at that, I was right. Only white men are allowed to be demonized and villainous in games and movies.

When you come from a position of privilege (female, double points for being a dark skinned female) equality feels like oppression.

I agree. just look at Sarkeesian’s followers.

So him not being white was the only thing that made him interesting? Nice racism.

Welcome to “selective equality” of modern feminism.

If you hate the growing tension between the sexes, you only have hustlers like Sarkeesian and Kotaku to blame.

This is Kotaku, leave your brain at the door. Only an echo chamber of the perpetually offended here.

And it really bums me out that the current social atmosphere is in favor of demonizing, excluding, and attacking white males simply for existing and liking seeing themselves represented as well. After all, I love getting up in the morning and seeing articles celebrating people for hating and discarding everything I am.

You just completely, accurately described the reaction of SJWs to literally everything.

Have you explained to them that it’s also ok for boys to like boy things and want to see themselves represented in games also?

Pretty sexist thing to say there, Jason. Why does the gender of the offspring matter so much to you. As ND themselves say, why does it matter?

So the character’s race and gender are the only things that made you care about her. Nice racist projection there. Ever hear about “protesting too much?” You can stop spreading your white guilt on so thick.

There’s something sad about the lack of self awareness of Druckmann going on about why gender matters and how his team tried their hardest to shoehorn female characters for no reason, and then ending his response with “Wow, why does it matter?”
