There’s this aura among certain people, usually the neurodivergent, where they believe that whatever is valued in their microcosm is what should be valued everywhere else. They think that any controversy is automatically solved in their favor. They get visibly upset whenever anything is successful that doesn’t align with their agenda. To them, it’s not about balance. It’s not about diversity or variety. It’s about attacking anyone who disagrees with them until… well, they don’t stop. It’s incessant. They will brow-beat and tantrum-throw until they get what they want.
These people need to be put back in line. They don’t actually care about the art they corrupt; most of them don’t even play the games they criticize. Instead, it’s about pushing their agenda and making sure anyone who goes against it is silenced (censored.)
It’s up to us, the regular people, to see things for what they are. They will try to drag us down rabbit holes. Their entire goal in life is to make people losers like them so they don’t feel so bad about being failures. You know, misery loves company and all that.
It’s sad this is what happened to the digital sphere. It’s shown me that the slippery slope isn’t a fallacy when applied to people with an agenda. They never wanted “equality.” They always wanted superiority. “Equality” was just a guise they hid under to gain legitimacy, and now that they have it they aren’t stopping.
Glad I didn’t waste my money on this hamstrung garbage. I’m glad old games still hold up to this day and are better than most of the trite put out by modern “developers.” Really puts into perspective who the good artists are, and who just wants to corrupt other people’s art for their own gain.
It’s fine to have gay representation. Even trans representation is acceptable. The problem is that these people want it to be “preferable” to play the game as a gay or transperson. It’s why they praise queer characters but shun any attractive females. They want sex only to sell to “their” people and no one else. It’s an agenda, but thankfully it hasn’t been too successful in changing the landscape.
While it’s unfortunate we get these bad games instead of good ones, I’m glad they’re being panned accordingly for the drivel that they are.
Dragon Age: Origins is still one of my favorite game of all time. Really wish we could’ve had a whole series of them, but oh well. At least we got shit.
So, you’re saying I should just accept that straight-representation is a “thing of the past?”
You admit you don’t actually want equality? You want superiority?
Err… wrong about what? I was arguing that there was a lack of straight-representation, but you’re here agreeing with me.
Straight representation isn’t a “thing of the past”, it’s alive and well. If you’re going to attempt a straw man fallacy your going to have to twist my words without breaking the meaning.
if it’s “alive and well,” then why did you try to make the argument that I have decades of older games to play instead?
Is it “alive and well” in the new Dragon Age? I don’t think so, personally.
