So this RDR2 trainwreck of a thread forced me to make this topic because this is something I've been questioning myself a while ago when it comes to video games.
Whenever video games tries to add more diversity through people of color or women, some people throughout the internet get their jimmies rustled and act like as Es-Jay-Doubleyoos are ruining their ''precious'' video games. And it doesn't help that there a certain amount people on GAF who are in some ways or another scoff at representation for video games or be like this: ''I don't mind blacks, LGBT or female characters as long they don't shoehorn it'', ''What's the big deal? None of it matters.'', ''Artistic integrity!'', and so on. I just can't help but think that dozens of people on Gaming GAF are ignorant. Or worse, racist/sexist and they just don't know it.
So, help me understand, GAF. What makes adding minorities (in terms of race or sexuality) or women in video games that makes some people riled up?
