The gaming industry has never been larger or more widely embraced, the industry is contracting for usual business reasons, and you think it's a political reaction?

Find a game you like. Play it. Find another. Repeat.

This is an extremely terrible post, to the point that I'm going to directly counter each statement you've made.

If you don't support DEI, you are in fact a bigot. Getting triggered because you see a black person in a fantasy video game is in fact wildly racist.

You are allowed to like games. You're also allowed to be properly shit on if you express racist views. I'm not sure of any game in recent years you aren't "allowed" to like, that's vague bullshit.

I am left-wing, and I truly couldn't give a shit if you like Suicide Squad or not. I really don't see what the point of that statement is.

This next statement, where you say that you want to leave all politics, gender identity, and racial issues out of gaming, is perhaps the absolute worse take you've made thus far and is extremely dangerous.

1. Everything is political, especially gaming. Some of the most classic gaming series of all time have heavy political messaging, from the anti-war, anti-imperialist Metal Gear Solid series, to the anti-capitalist Fallout series, to the anti-libertarian Bioshock series, and so forth. Gaming cannot be separated from politics whatsoever.

2. Artists are not worrying if they have "enough" inclusivity. Artists include diverse casts because they want to, and it only fits your narrative and fragile worldview if you imagine BIG TRANS is forcing everyone to abide by them. Lunacy. A good example is Celeste, a famous trans-positive game, made by a transwoman.

3. You're correct, most people do not get triggered if they see a gender, sexual, or ethnic minority in games, but you seem to be.

Racist and anti-LGBT gamers that hide behind this narrative of forced inclusivity that doesn't exist and just get triggered when Artists and writers tell the stories they want to tell are in fact the enemy.

You don't really love games if you stop loving them as soon as more gay, trans, and black people appear in them and the extremely boring era of eternal white male with brown hair and scruffy beard protagonists is finally coming to a close, as marginalized people begin to take more jobs in the gaming industry to better represent the population as a whole.

Rethink yourself, you're going down a horrible path.

Honestly, its not the weird dogmatic politics that gets me. Its the fact that DHS is funding them. Dont they have anything better to waste tax payer money on?

I understand where you're coming from; it's annoying when any moral message is forced into a piece of media simply for the sake of checking a box, regardless of whether I agree with the message.

But I haven't noticed this in modern games. Modern movies and TV, definitely, but not games.

What games are you playing that do this?
