"who cares about representation in video games, video games are meant for escapism"
how exactly is it escapism to switch from a world where white cis men are in charge to…….. a world where white cis men are in charge
also what does that say about you when you want to “escape” to a world completely devoid of poc and women
What does it say? It says fuck all. Because escapism is being able to escape from the goddamn norm. It means you want to go smash giant kidnapper reptiles as an italian plumber. It means a lot of things.
But one thing I know for sure, I certainly play video games to escape from the day to day, and that INCLUDES FUCKING IDENTITY POLITICS. The day I fire up my console to play a game and it’s inundated with SJW cunts spewing their vitriol is the day I give up playing video games.
And don’t even start the crap that PoC and women are under represented in video games, they most certainly aren’t. It’s just your shitty, slim understanding of what games are out there.
Lastly, people reach for games that are of quality, not for games based on race/creed representation. If you want to make a “good” game where are the characters are Eskimoan-bengali trans-sectional non-binary WTFBBQ pan-sexual otherkin, BE OUR GUEST. No one is stopping you.
