Meanwhile every Ubisoft title, no matter how inoffensive, add the disclaimer:

This game was created by a diverse team of people with different beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities

“Politics are genuinely fun and everyone wants to see them all the time, and the people who say they don’t want to see it like it even more, they just wish they were seeing different politics.” -hbomberguy

Anything they see in there that goes against their own personally DESIRED to be status quo is an insult. Theyve just got shit views so well rounded culture shocks them and it reminds them all about how their shit stinks and they aren’t really all that smart or morally sound. Cause if they were, they wouldn’t have identified with any that stuff to begin with or realized the perils.

And it makes them know the cringe at how they’re viewed (but they say its just how they’re PORTRAYED to pass the buck on being that way being their own fault and indicative of their lack of stats and general lack of character)

No, I’m not. Because my mental development moved past three years old and I’m able to differentiate reality from fiction. Do you also believe that Super Mario players advocate for animal cruelty towards turtles?

They do. Doesn’t stop dipshits from arguing though. Case in point.

That doesn’t make any sense. If they already have rights then what are they arguing for?

As I wrote in my original post, some people just have a narcissistic need for self-promotion. They will preach to the choir and bring irrelevant political topics into the game because they feel like the real world doesn’t appreciate their valiant efforts towards weaponized inclusivity enough.

I don’t want North-American politics in my gaming.

I mean the statement is being made within the universe. Super Mario does advocate for violence against koopas. You don’t have to examine it, but that doesn’t make it apolitical.

All I want is more nice unpolitical games like Bioshock or Wolfenstein

And not the woke nonsense of having female or PoC main characters.

Sounds like you’re either not picking up on the fact that your world isn’t actually supportive of gay rights (because of subconscious prejudice or something) or you’re bad at communicating that it is, or both.

“Weaponized inclusivity” jesus christ so its clearly the former

“Narcissistic urge for self-promotion” insane statement. Check your prejudice.

When everyone around you seems like a dipshit, you’re probably the dipshit.

The point is that there are politics in your game, like it or not. Whether you make them a central focus is another story entirely.

I hate normal sized tits!

/s Just in case

Your language choices give a phobic vibe, just FYI. “[…] they feel like the real world doesn’t appreciate their valiant efforts towards weaponized inclusivity enough.” Like you know they’re suffering actual IRL oppression, right? Stuff like that could be giving LGBT players the impression that you’re hostile towards them.

Oh, quite the opposite. Most people around me are awesome. And I’ve gotten pretty good at sorting out the few who aren’t. In fact, after deleting Reddit, pretty much my entire dipshit intake stems from Lemmy. I sometimes really do wonder what I’m still doing here. Because clearly, this entire community has some serious issues to work through.

My language choice is not phobic, it’s aggressive, because I’m once again realizing, why half of this sub is permanently looking for groups.

I can assure you, that there is no inclusivity issue in any of my worlds. But it’s also not anything I pay any mind to at all unless my players are looking for connections or love interests. Other than that I try to avoid heteronormativity for the very few occasions NPCs are actually in a relationship that matters to the game and that’s it.

And as I commented before, if you want a world and story FOCUSED on inclusivity and LQBTQ issues, then I’m sure there are countless DMs who will be happy to provide that. Because I am not. My games focus on adventuring, nature and mystic, long forgotten places and that’s exactly how I and my players like it!

yep they exist. but I don’t need to solely focus on them. and this entire thread seems to be people saying that fact over and over again. (as you just did as well)

is there some kind of meme I missed or something? I’m confused as to why there’s so much hostility in the comments.

you choose to lead a gay rights movement while the world is being overrun by the demon king’s hordes.

This maps kind of easily onto “We can’t fight for gay rights right now. They just blew up the twin towers!” or similar “wait your turn for justice” arguments.

I get the impression that you don’t see that kind of thing, and furthermore don’t care. You run whatever kind of game you want, but I would be surprised if your settings weren’t full of unexamined biases and defaults.

Feminism ruined video games means i cant play a video game without thinking about it from a feminist point of view lol
