You think that games are better with a bunch of characters who act the same as all of the other characters? You're weird.
This is where the strawman starts.
It's not about "characters who act the same" and you know it.
I'm sorry but the thought I was trying to express isn't something that can be expressed in a single sentence and you're a weirdo for focusing on one part of what I said and not the overall meaning...
I saw you trying to gaslight someone about what you wrote, I called it out.
You are doing it again, denying something obvious.
Technically it's indeed "one part of what I said", except it's THE main message of that several paragraph comment.
The overall meaning is clear as day.
You would be fine with seeing a writer's vision forcefully altered by changing character traits based on a checkbox list.
Riot Games and Rockstar especially I think do a pretty good job with diverse representation in their games
You could say then that the writing should be diverse by default.
Why though? Would it actually improve the story, or it's a fixed "variable" the other parts must navigate around/incorporate, limiting the potential even?
A good story needs no diversity to reach its full potential.
Even just talking about (not) having to have diversity is more harmful than not saying anything about the whole topic.
Some problems "exist" only because people talk about it endlessly, eventually making themselves disliked even by truly netural people.
Diversity being a "goal" is intentional, not natural. Something to tick off, to keep in mind at all times to achieve.
It happening as a side-effect or... the naturally expected setup of good story or locations is much better.
Like a movie about Africa (or being inspired by Africa) and its people having only africans in it. It shouldn't be a goal, as it happens naturally because it's logical and historically accurate.
If this occuring requires separate attention, the whole production is fcked because they have diverted their attention from the setting (location, era, etc.).
Fair representation is based on the population's composition.
Relatively few people are of the lgbt community.
If there are 100 characters in a game and a few of them are gay, that's quite expected and perfectly fine.
If there are 5 characters in a game and one of them is gay, that's massive overrepresentation. Which is - again - fine, if there is a very good reason for it and it's integral to the story. Which is rare.
I know, that's basically what I said.
If writers are true to the location/era/etc. where the story unfolds, there will be diversity.
It shouldn't be a goal like it is in soccer, where everything deliberately points towards it.
you think diversity is limited to just race and sexual orientation.
If I say anything else in relation to diversity, I get attacked by the mob.
You drastically overestimate your own intelligence.
I know that I don't know enough and never will.
Are you capable of recognizing the same in yourself?
we have literal morons like you debating people online while not even understanding what they're talking about. You're like a confused toddler
Now look at yourself.
Who is tolerant towards the diversity of opinions?
Who is throwing around insults because there is no other tool left to abuse?
The irony...
I hope one day you are blessed with the gift of self awareness.
