If you want games with only white characters, make them yourself; don't force them on everyone else.

crimson-rose-field.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm a gamer, and I can't even remotely understand their worldview. They're willing to accept fantasy races but not REAL FUCKING PEOPLE?!

baronwyn.bsky.social•1 day ago

"I insist on video games with ONLY people like me in them"

"But I don't push my lifestyle on others"

"Stop trying to push your lifestyle on me by existing"

quietbutsalty.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah but occasional gamer you do force your lifestyle in others. Every time you whine like a little bitch at someone else doing their thing your imposing your opinion and life on another.

lxtruong.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lol people just so triggered by having nonwhite humans hobknobbing with elves and dwarves

vala.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Make your own games and stop forcing it on others"... He doesn't hear himself, clearly. Sad bunch of whiners.

acatinabag.bsky.social•1 day ago

And we know this is bunk anyways, because ladies and POC *did* make their own games and now these dudes whine and cry and shit themselves about those games being “woke” and “bad”

vala.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well yeah, that's my point. He's literally complaining about games not made for him, suggesting other people should make their own games (like they are) while not doing it himself.

trangismi.bsky.social•21 hours ago

They just want other ppl to fix what they want, not do it themselves DUH. Like go away, this game isn’t for u. I’m sure there’s million cis white male protagonist in games already 🙄

lucyrebekah.bsky.social•1 day ago

“…neither do I force my lifestyle on them” says the gamer who belongs to the demographic that all of society is centred around

fintago.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Make your own games."
My brother in Christ, who do you think put the woke in the game in the first place? They aren't taking YOUR games, you are whining while playing THEIR games.

jurahkan.bsky.social•1 day ago

They talk as if games belong only to them and they wonder why the industry tries to be more inclusive. 🤦‍♂️

sparklepuff.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is the same crowd that cried in white replacement theory about Starfire being played by a black woman because the character has red hair. She's an alien and her skin is 🍊.
They legit think redheads are the pinnacle of diverse representation.

mediocrecoder.bsky.social•1 day ago

Imagine being so fragile that just seeing people in a GAME who don’t look like you sends you into a tizzy.

jrblount.bsky.social•1 day ago

By humans I guess he means white people.

desertheartsfan.bsky.social•1 day ago

White cishet men, but yes

aelitia.bsky.social•1 day ago

How shit a human being you must be by getting stressed by the presence of POC

neilljenkins.bsky.social•1 day ago

There's of course countless videos talking about The Gamers™. I think one of the best though is this one from @shaunvids.bsky.social just a few months ago. Highly recommended. https://youtu.be/WPsSguYNHpk?si=sqR_4DOWMeZ2qCoU

solarcat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seconding; very good video essay!

atavistique.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was not aware that being asian was a “lifestyle”, which section of Home & Garden covers this lifestyle?

fhqwhgads41185.bsky.social•1 day ago

They don't want real life in their game? What diversity? I'm assuming maybe transgender, but then wouldn't having any genders be "real life in their game"? Maybe they mean race, but wouldn't white people be just as much real life in game as any race? Gay characters, but straight aren't real life?

fhqwhgads41185.bsky.social•1 day ago

Clearly they're okay with real life in their games, they just only want the games to reflect their own personal lived experience and fuck everyone else.

amandabryana.bsky.social•1 day ago

Does this guy think only straight white men play video games?

alexalogan.bsky.social•23 hours ago

A lot of these people don't care or even know the games they are complaining about. I haven't played through the latest Dragon Age yet, but since the first installment, a bisexual elf with brown skin was one of the main characters and potential love interest. Yet some people were crying about+

alexalogan.bsky.social•23 hours ago

how diversity was going to ruin the game. Dude, what? You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

marriedcatmom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ever play the sims?

manybellsdown.bsky.social•1 day ago

He wants to escape to a world that's just buff white guys and horny elf women, is what I'm hearing. Maybe he should make his own games.

desertheartsfan.bsky.social•1 day ago

''neither do I force my lifestyle on them'' say the string of shitty cishet dudes doing EXACTLY that.

cfaller96.bsky.social•1 day ago

White guys are not ok. (Yes, I am assuming those are white guys talking.)

lxtruong.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are 1000000% white men

cfaller96.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, I mean, I felt confident in my assumption, but it was still an assumption I felt I should acknowledge. I’m a pedantic work in progress, please be patient.

aviendha69.bsky.social•1 day ago

white boys.

cfaller96.bsky.social•1 day ago

FAIR.

nicoladauthor.bsky.social•1 day ago

Except white straight people force their 'lifestyle' on everyone else every fucking day. So they can cry harder.

risettemd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Men were a mistake

steamyrv.bsky.social•1 day ago

American men were a mistake (i would bet all these are American)

jojojo.bsky.social•1 day ago

American men are not the only sexist and racist men in the world lmao

steamyrv.bsky.social•1 day ago

Very true, but they are perhaps the most vocal

schaumhoernchen.bsky.social•1 day ago

In a game that shows, in its trailers, you'll be able to play as, at least, half a dozen fantasyanimal-races, they're scared it's going to be 'too diverse'?

Tough luck. HG are a smart bunch of designers and storytellers.

If it means *these* guys won't play LNF?
I consider that an absolute win. 😎

alpaca-alex.bsky.social•1 day ago

The irony is, that in quite a lot of games it is explicitly the devs who want to make it diverse, as a lot of devs simply are fairly progressive. In fact, especially with big titles, there often is a fight between devs and producers about it. Because producers are "economists".

omicron416.bsky.social•1 day ago

Looks like this is the game, in case anyone's interested in checking it out.
I'm not into survival games myself, got enough of that in real life a while back.

foxytales97.bsky.social•23 hours ago

'I don't want ideologies forced on me the same way I'm not forcing mine onto others'
I mean, have they ever watched any type of media? Cause watching straight relationships/sex whenever possible is also forcing ideology unless it's for developing the story

foxytales97.bsky.social•23 hours ago

But this nonsense aside, people just... exist? So having POCs in games, or charas with different sexuality & whatever else has no impact on them, same way it doesn't impact them irl? How fragile & insecure gamers are if someone existing is triggering

devilsadvocatec.bsky.social•1 day ago

What color are the humans?

jedicat1965.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry if us women gamers would rather play as women characters with proper armour, not a brass bra and panties set.

pawsrpg.bsky.social•1 day ago

That guy sad about the dwarves at the end is 90% there, and then WHOOSH.

dmoas.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm confused. What's so "stressful" about diversity they're seeing in games? Is it just a reminder of what an asshole they are in real life?

rdelacy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Diverse people *did* make their own games. Those are the ones these dudes are complaining about. They’re being left behind by an industry that’s moving forward without them.

desireevalenzuela.bsky.social•1 day ago

These same guys collect elf girl hentai manga and action figures. But no diversity, TYVM!

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah, yes, the stresses of real life, such as *checks notes* black people existing.

Gamers™ out here telling on themselves.

lizalbin.bsky.social•1 day ago

Tolkien described hobbits as brown.

sushigal007.bsky.social•1 day ago

"make your own games" yeah we did that, and you went absolutely apeshit.

nirbo.bsky.social•1 day ago

What a wild fucking world where people can care more about dark elves than dark people.

mordaedil.bsky.social•20 minutes ago

I do so hate when games auto-install themselves on my drive with content I do not approve of. Oh no, how did this game get here? Oh well, I guess I have no choice but to play it. Oh no, I can't stop playing it. But not because I want to, the game is forcing me!

flyingnun.bsky.social•1 day ago

Does this guy find it ''stressful and annoying'' to see black people? I think we should stop the bafflement and start aggressively shaming these guys, that's the only way we can stop that nonsense.

millie29.bsky.social•1 day ago

You know you’re a middle class white guy who didn’t pay his college tuition when you think this way.

eruanion.bsky.social•1 day ago

I bet he is one of those angry that hasbro took half elves out of D&D....
