I disagree greatly. I think you are just seeing the freedom from some creators to create that have been creating content for a long time.
"For example, when the first thing we see in the TLOU2 trailer was Ellie’s sexual orientation" I mean...look at how you are even phrasing it. You are not saying you are seeing 2 characters kiss to establish a plot point, its first thing you see is da "sexual orientation"
So we saying the same thing about Days Gone?
Is that solely just to establish the sexual orientation of Decon?
So the issue is that folks are trying to fucking take EVERY LAST ACTION as a sign of "must be wokez agendaz". If you can't apply that fairly to all kisses in all games or in all works, it makes no sense to then argue it must be for some agenda and nothing else, as you might as well argue Anita is right and the "agendaz" exist as that is her entire argument. White guy in game, must be agenda cause why else would white guy be in game etc /s
Arguing it about a different demographic doesn't make the argument make any more sense.
So all I see is people using Fear Effect as an example, but ignoring those same people would just argue Fear Effect if released TODAY is da "agendaz" as if you can read anyone's mind to even fucking know WHY they put something in a game or not. To argue this is to say all games using this logic are agendaz.
If Ghost In The Shell released TODAY you'd argue it was some agenda...
?Now? Some rule existed that stated we couldn't do it before? So you are simply arguing happenchance. You not knowing it existed before doesn't mean it was based on some agenda to do it NOW, it simply means you may not know such a thing wasn't banned or off limits before or something.
Can't? What law was made that you can't? No limit exist on something like that to make some strange argument about it...
Like you? I mean...read your own post. Think about what you yourself are saying...
and
and
You know what my concerns are? If the game is fucking fun....thats it. I don't care what they believe, who they pray to, who they vote for etc. I see no reason to get mad over such a thing and then be like " will offend people who will never even play the games in the first place." only to also say stuff like "I don’t like it when they tamper with beloved or well known franchises"
So you know folks will be offended while you are doing the same "concern" with the same thing simply with different demographics?
Whats your solution? We only make games you like? The way you like? come on man. You have to see how weird any of this is to get mad at folks getting offended, only to be offended by the inclusion of something cause it could be an agenda when you were JUST mad about folks that might be offended by the lack of something as a agenda...
You are simply disputing that you'd be the other side of the coin in that respect.
Put it in and its an agenda to you. Thus you get "concerned" about it being "tampered"
Take it out and its an agenda to them and "will offend people"
THIS my friend is why I only play games for fun and fully allow the developer to openly and freely create what the fuck they feel like.
This 1000%, but no "but", keep that same energy. Stop pretending you really mean that only to then attack developers with this whole "I don’t like it when they tamper with beloved or well known franchises".
They should not be attacked and always bothered with this whole accusation that them including something MUST be to
So some of those Ubisoft Assassins Creed titles could have 3 teams involved with over 1000 developers, you telling me you going to make sure all of them are not doing something to do some deep dive on all their social media to ensure they don't "fill some political checklist or to score brownie points with certain groups and demographics"? smh.
Come on man. You don't know why they put in what they put in unless they legit openly say so, but relax with alllllllll those assumptions simply based on a fucking demographic in a game. Last time I checked, that was the entire SJW argument btw. Whiteguy in game, must be agenda to score points etc.
