I’m pretty sure their argument is exactly the reason why people don’t want Microsoft taking over more of the videogame market. Because everything original they’ve attempted sucks.  And everything that was good they’ve purchased they’ve driven into the ground with bullshit and microtransactions.  

That sounds more reasonable but, I dunno. Even back then Europe wasn’t all that “white”, the Persians, Turks , Berbers and Andalusians had been on the continent for more or less the entire history.

So in other words, Kotaku is half real reporting, half clickbait enrage articles now. I might be generous on the reporting skew

plus they can make the game however they want, and anyone can choose not to purchase it if they do not want to

Yes agreed, Sisi took some of this out of context for a rage bait article. If the game is all white people, that is fine. If it’s all black people that would be cool. All Asian people, alright by me. Some mix of everything, great! A more diverse cast makes for a better experience in my opinion. But, not all games need…

Yeah, but context doesn’t make rage bait articles!!

That actually makes much more sense when it's in context.

I fail to see the issue.

I am not gonna get caught up in this until the game releases but that quote was limited and the full quote makes a bit more sense

Grounded in Japanese romanticized version of Medieval Europe. They often tend to celebrate cultures in very over the top stereotype, like the Canadian cafe I went to there was more canadian than canada lol. It was fun!

You do know that other people have different backgrounds, perspectives, visions, and goals, yes?  It’s fine that your hype for this game is dead and I would absolutely encourage you to play Skyrim if you, you know, want to play Skyrim. 

Maybe in theory, but I have never played a game that had “sufficient” levels of diversity and felt MORE satisfied than I would have otherwise.  I think that a lot of people give it more thought than they should.

“This is not an argument with two sides. It is an argument with trans people who want to be alive and people who don’t want us to be.”

I see where TERFs are coming from and I think their angst started from males moving into their spaces. They look at trans people by their biology, apparently, because they view transmen as part of the feminist movement.

I highly doubt that due to many of these efforts at cancelling people for being overtly transphobic…

Why weigh in at all then? All the complaints I’ve heard from people have started with “I haven’t seen it but...” or “I heard he...” or something.

“They believe that trans people don’t exist, which is very dangerous.”

In other words, you critique stand-up comedians the way the Ayatollah Khomeini reviewed novels.  

Oh no, what will they do without those 6 employees?!

Children, welcome to stand-up comedy. Lenny Bruce would be amused by you. My suggestion would be stay strictly in the Jim Gaffigan comedy lane (which is great) and absolutely avoid a comedian like Anthony Jeselnik (also great). You can only clutch those pearls so much before being overcome by the vapors of your own…

Jesus.... they haven't actually watched it!!!! Completely absurd. What a world.
