Just for some context, quite a few gamers don't give a shit about the LBGT stuff.

They just don't like being preached at while gaming. I stop reading books that preach at me about ... well ... anything, but particularly politics, whether I agree with the opinion or not.

[(Anonymous)]

LGBT character: *exists*
Gamers with fewer than two brain cells to rub together: OMG, stop preaching at meeeee!!11!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, fuck off. These fuckers think a black woman even existing in a game is "shoving politics down their throats". Just look at what's happening in the game community with The Last of Us 2. A good majority of gamers are vehemently misogynist, homophobic, racist, and transphobic and pretending otherwise is like sticking your head in the sand.

[(Anonymous)]

Fun fact: we don't actually give a shit about the """context""" of your bigotry. We see the bigotry, identify it as such, and decide whether or not we want to spend time paying attention to the internet version of Racist Uncle Mike at Thanksgiving.

[(Anonymous)]

But actually, people who don't want to indulge bigots are the real racists, or so I've been told.

[(Anonymous)]

God LGBT people existing isn't political, fuck off

[(Anonymous)]

No, it isn't.

But you know what is? Having a LBGT character take the time out of not dying/saving the world from aliens/fighting zombies to give us a lecture about pronouns.

Think I'm exaggerating? I've read it.

[(Anonymous)]

You poor, poor baby. That's almost 40 entire seconds you'll never get back! Heaven knows, a character in a video game has never had non-action related dialogue before! How can a poor, simple gamer like yourself possibly cope with such a travesty?!

[hey_hey_hey]

And you failed to mention the title of these stories because...

[(Anonymous)]

There was a Tower of God type novel (I don't remember the title) where a powerful character either appeared briefly or was mentioned - then a 3-4 page discussion of what non-binary meant which included instructions on how to be respectful. The character did not appear in the rest of the novel. (I kept waiting for her/him to pop back up ...)

WWW trilogy by Robert J Sawyer features a Sarah Palin-ish character that the author rants about at length. It has nothing to do the rest of the book. You can even check the reviews (book 2 or 3). People talk about it.

I do not keep lists of books I don't like, so this is based on memory.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure you have.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao go back to 4chan.

[(Anonymous)]

The games I play regularly let your player character take hours of time out of the urgent matter of saving the world in order to do sidequests about finding ingredients for random shopkeepers in exchange for money or a cool accessory. Where is your god now?

[(Anonymous)]

So?

The game is about that. That's the point. The sidequests are part of the game - do you think games are random pieces stuck together? They're not. Sidequests are part of the game experience, allowing you to explore the world, feel like it's a REAL world, and give you, the player, time to relax. Is a random political rant in Pokemon part of the intended game experience? Would it mesh with the rest of the game? No. (The game doesn't have that afaik. Just an example.)

[(Anonymous)]

I get what you're getting at here, but that literally has never happened in any video game that these guys rail about. I mean that. Never. They find offense in so much as a background character mentioning a same-sex wife or husband-- literally the same dialogue as all the other straight NPCs. But that existing is "proof" of "shoving it down [their] throats."

[(Anonymous)]

Well... Dragon Age: Inquisition did this several times over so yeah, it does happen and if it does, it's jarring and immersion breaking. Doesn't change that these people we're talking about here actually do flip out if there is even a passing mention of anything lgbt related.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

This guy thinks Chimera Squad is too gay. No one in Chimera Squad is mentioned as gay, and only one person is mentioned as straight! It’s solidly in the Tom Clancy style of “we don’t care what you look like or who you have sex with, we care how good you are at killing terrorists.” If that’s too left-wing, I don’t even want to know what this guy considers acceptably right.

[(Anonymous)]

Which doesn't apply to any of the studios who were review-bombed down to one star within hours of release because of a single use of the word "they" on the character-creation screen.

[hey_hey_hey]

I can't believe people actually think games were devoid of politics and moral messages until "SJWs" forced video game studios to cram the LGBT "stuff" down gamers throats. Nazis are bad is a political message but it doesn't stop you people from creaming your skidmark stained shorts over the classic Wolfenstein games.

[(Anonymous)]

No media is devoid of politics. The question is, does the politics have anything to do with the story? Or is merely shoved in there to virtue signal to people like you?

I mean, I'll give Ancillary Justice credit: it's shtick (the character saw everyone as female) was relevant to the story. It was there for a reason, so it didn't bother me - it was just part of the worldbuilding. I just found the plot utterly boring.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT sometimes, people exist who are different from you, and that is just how they are. That IS the story.

If every lead character is a straight white man, that is extremely political.

[(Anonymous)]

These dudes REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE when women (except for female characters who look like buxom/thicc sex dolls with two pieces of cloth for clothing, those ones are okay), POC, queer, or trans characters simply exist in video games and consider their inclusion political by default. You probably don't realize this because you are one of these dudes.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a woman. Nice try.

[(Anonymous)]

You're still like these dudes, anon. Sorry to break it to you, but women can also buy into this bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

Wah wah wah, how dare LGBT people exist.
