Evidently on a posting tear today. What happens when you’re stuck in a Dr.'s waiting room, I guess…

    I always love that. It’s some liberal plot all the time. Like video games artists aren’t some of the most lgbtq folk I’ve ever seen lol

      How many diverse representational check boxes are drug out on the street and shot so they can sell their uninteresting dross in China?

      They don’t have values they have a marketing strategy; and it’s because of that marketing strategy that those check boxes are totally 1 dimensional, boring, and replaceable.

      Actual diversity doesn’t look or feel like a personal attack.
      Go watch She-ra and tell me the gay dads aren’t integral to Bow’s character and try to tell me that isn’t the exception to the vast majority of cardboard cutouts whose ONLY character trait is a single DEI check box.

          Honestly no. Bad representation is worse than no representation. This is an extreme example, but just look at Muslim representation in Western media. I mean just take the extremist terrorist Muslim, or the idea that Muslim women are oppressed and need to be “liberated” from their hijab.

          Again this is an extreme example but this is what bad representation is; it reduces a group of people into a few stereotypical character traits. As a Muslim I’d rather Islam not be represented at all if this is what that representation will be.

      for disney, the rank and file are pushing against their own bosses. the gay you’re seeing is what they got away with after their bosses tried to cancel shows. I don’t know about video games but if you say so I believe you about it. I wonder what internal fights are going on?
