Because it gets easier and easier for more odious ideas to again enter the video gaming world (and thus the minds of young players) if the racists and MRAs get the clue that all they have to do is to not create shitty games.Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters.īailey told The Gleaner on Tuesday that the authentic Christian faith does not condone the kinds of actions that such organisations promote. It being a half-decent game should not excuse all the odious stuff behind it, in my opinion. "Manly Odour" exists in a game in which you have no control over the sexual ambitions and appetites of your character. They exist in a game in which the character you play actually has a choice of being a monster or a really decent human being. It's not just that those perks are equal, it's also that they aren't the raison d'etre of the game. It's not even slightly comparable to the perks in Fallout, a game that doesn't get its kicks off of violence against women and different ethinc groups, a game that has featured scathing commentary about everything wrong with current society and "the past was better"-worldviews since its inception. Why do you even want to play devil's advocate for that kind of scum?Īnd the Fallout point.
**) Our Vietnamese minority is extremely recent development - there were virtually none in the 1991 census, so I wouldn't expect them to appear in historical media.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, because, again, this is an actual, real, 100%-true real-life MRA talking point/view that is being put into a game that's made by a serious racist who set out to specifically "fight against all the SJWs ruining gaming".
*) These are mostly sorted from biggest to smallest, except for the Romani, who should probably be the second group but most of them didn't disclose their nationality in the census. Local calls for diversity would be along the lines of "where are the people with unusual accents of Czech", "where are the Romani", "where are people of other slavic nationalities", "where are the Vietnamese", and then, much, much, much later, "where are the other people of Asian and any people of African/Arabic/Indian descent".
The rest of the groups differ mostly by culture and language. Out of these, only Vietnamese** and Romani are, well, easily identified visually. Going by our last census, our largest minorities are Moravians, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Poles, Vietnamese, Hungarians, Russians, Silesians and Romani*. Click to expand.One way in which calls for diversity often feel US-centric is when they're mostly about people of colour.
