No, there absolutely weren't.
Schreier's politics come out in his writing as well as social media. The drum he's been beating for a long time has been about labor and unionizing.
I'd even consider the possibility he's right, but not for reasons that support his argument.
Games and media present transgender and minority groups in an unobtrusive way, and bigots create 17 articles complaining about their basic inclusion for the sake of "DEI".
Both GPT4 and Gemini estimate a 3:2 ratio between articles addressing video game character sexuality and those addressing lay offs and unionization in the games industry.
I won't continue this discussion because "Schreier's politics come out in his writing as well as social media. The drum he's been beating for a long time has been about labor and unionizing." is basically what I wrote on Schreier using more words, which indicates you're more interested in being a confrontational than engaging in an honest discussion on the topic. Enjoy the Cheeto for 4y.
If you want to talk about an honest discussion, consider the sample set you plugged into your search. You didn't go through two years of articles on VGC or GameSpot. You plugged indiscriminate search criteria into an AI. We just had a discussion a few days ago about how mainstream media is not covering major gaming news, but if you're reading gaming news outlets, it's been layoffs for the past two years dominating the news. Gaming news outlets would have very little reason to ever use the word "hunger", for instance, and "transgender" would apply to far more articles than those about fictional characters.
Ai, google trends in english, what else does one need? Even after I gave precise google trends inputs so that the observations are reproducible? Your reply proves my point yet again. Peace.
Your precise Google Trends inputs are precisely what I took issue with, because they're a bad sample set for reasons that I pointed out.
I think you misspelled "I don't know what I'm talking about nor what an LLM is"
Welcome redditor.
I see you have a 10 days old account. I can't imagine why you had to create a new one... This one won't last long, ironically you can go to r/gamergate and feel accepted.
Yes yes, whatever illusion you created in your head to make me some kind of monstrous being because I dared question the ubiquitous distortion of the class message in favour of bourgeoisie invented flags. I'm also the boogey man on my free time. It's funny, all the replies I got fit just in line with the ones I'd get in r/conservative every time I shared climate change evidence.
Plot twist: you're the one yearning for reedit!
But of course you're DARED question the distortion of the class message... By complaining about diversity in video games...?
The funny thing is how everything you said so far would fit in a conservative forum, reddit or otherwise. It seems that's where you have you go to find people agreeing with you. Should make you think (but it won't)
And here we are again, more ad hominem, 0 actual arguments. :) keep going
Us vs them, anything to avoid actually thinking.
I guess Bernie is also an r/conservative chud in your book... I'll see ya in the next march for science based policy.

You must be salty, coming back two days after. Did you practice the perfect answer in the mirror?
At least now it's not ChatGPT! Anyway, I'm sure Bernie is not going to be bitching about too many blacks and gays in videogames (he's not an incel after all), so I'll assume this is yet another non argument.
Ad hominem, red herrings, 0 actual addressing my points. Par for the course.
What point have you raised? You bitched that there is too much diversity in games and used an LLM as proof. You mentioned a few games that had failed... So? Concord failed when overwatch was a success, with much more diversity. Hades, Persona, final fantasy rebirth, Hogwarts legacy ... Those are the games I played in the past few months with much more diversity than your examples, and successful. The likes of you claimed those games were doooooooooomed and then proceeded to shut up when people played them.
Then started telling that those who disagree with you sound like redditors and conservatives and send a Sanders video. How can you complain about red herrings if everything you do is rant and go on tangents?
You're also the one who somehow couldn't shake this conversation for your brain and had to come back. If that's not a sad fucking life, I don't know what is. What a sad, miserable existence you have you have, really.
I can't say I enjoyed this conversation even though at least I could laugh at you a bit.
The original comment is still available. At no point did I complain about diversity in games, I complained about incompetence in games and lauded indie games. I see you're having a Quixotic moment and are arguing with a figment of your imagination. In fact, one could argue my point is the exact opposite, clumsy amateurish depictions of diversity do not do the importance of the topic justice. I understand not everyone can be as talented as Naughty Dog (Amy Henning is the GOAT) but at least something passable would be desirable. Keep fighting windmills.
