Everything from Black vikings, Black Cleopatra and Black Dwarves in LotR is just absurd

You know, you don't actually HAVE to hit "Publish", you can just keep this particularly inane bullshit to yourself.

“Black Dwarves in LotR is just absurd”

Are you even trying to hide your racism? An article mentioning black woman as a main character and you allude to “context where they do not belong” as if black vikings(also lotr is fantasy you poor racist thing, it can be anything it wants to be) is as out of place as a black police officer is basically a dog bull…

The conversation is about how they’re being accused of forcing studios to make things diverse. What David Bedard said ties into the official quote. Consultations on character accuracy IS part of their services and he brings marginalized people up specifically to counter the idea that better marginalized characters…

That is absolutely not true.  Individual rights have been around going back to ancient sumaria.  Its possible earlier, we just dont have written records earlier than that.  That their prominence has increased over the last 500 years isnt remotely shocking, the worlds population increased, population densities…

At the end of the day it seems like both sides are talking about the same thing. SBI’s right wing critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it, but says that it isn’t forced because including DEI characters is an integrated part of a great…

More importantly....why do 90% of all games star white dudes.  Im white, we arent 90% of the population in the US, where the majority of games protagonists are from.

Jedi Survivor doesn’t have a black female protagonist. You play as Cal Kestis who is a redheaded white dude. Redfall and Shadow Gambit have multiple playable characters and only one of them is a black woman. Saga is one of two protagonists in AW2, the other being a white guy.

“Also why did virtually every game dev in 2023 decide to make their main character a Black woman?”

I think you’re right. SBI provides a service to interested parties and takes all the blame for being a niche service. Script doctors and editors are similar, but it seems like the whole point of SBI is to take someone else’s already-written work, and weed out any red flags that the original writer unintentionally or…

Also why did virtually every game dev in 2023 decide to make their main character a Black woman?

I once got into it with someone years ago in these comments about diversity in sci-fi stories, specifically about an imaginary story about a group of friends that got shipwrecked on an alien planet. They said that if all of the characters were white guys, there didn’t need to be any other explanations on their…

critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it

“SBI pretty much admits to it, but says that it isn’t forced because including DEI characters is an integrated part of a great storytelling experience.”’

Why are you asking “why is this person gay” in a videogame? It doesn’t need to have anything to do with the fucking plot; there are gay people in real life, sometimes that’s just a person.

“At the end of the day it seems like both sides are talking about the same thing. SBI’s right wing critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it”

Did we read the same article because they didn’t admit to that at all? They said that the DEI elements…

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.

These are videogames. The point of this medium is not to efficiently get thru a plot, it’s to interact and play with things.

....then don’t do the sidequests?
