> Here is a little secret you may not know. Diversity, includes also having white and asian people.

Does it? Why do I never see anyone complaining about a lack of diversity in the NBA?

> But those games are the exception, most games do not fit that category.

You're right, the majority of games take place in entirely fictional worlds that aren't meant to accurately represent any specific real life location or time period, which is why it makes no sense to apply real world politics to them, or to imply that they are all inherently political in some form.

You could just as easily say the exact opposite, they take place in fictional worlds so there is no reason they can't have diversity.

That sounds like it is just an argument to have fully white games.

But wait they are fictional, so maybe every character should be trans? Maybe gender doesn't exist. Because it's a fictional world. That is what you are saying. So if a game would do that it's not politics, it's a fictional world.

You're not justifying why a video game has to be a certain way, other than wanting to conform to your narrow view of the world. In reality you are justifying a game that, in your own words is an "entirely fictional world", can do whatever they want to do.

It is depressing that you feel like you are under attack by an increase in diversity. When all that is happening is the world is no longer catering to you (or me for that matter). But even with the efforts to make things more diverse, most media is still white dominated.

Honestly, I am done with this conversation. It is depressing that apparently enough people think like you to take what I am saying as an offense. To flag this entire article but also my post.

Diversity is going to happen, most people recognize the value of diversity. Your choice is going to be whether or not you will continue to be part of society or just be mad all the time.

There is one reason and it's the only reason you need: the developer wants it to be that way. If you don't like it, play something else.

If you want to make a game with no white people and full of political propaganda, you're free to do so, just don't cry when nobody buys it, as we've seen recently.

> Diversity is going to happen, most people recognize the value of diversity. Your choice is going to be whether or not you will continue to be part of society

And there's the classic progressive gaslighting: "everyone agrees with me except you, you must also agree with me or you will be pushed out of society"
