I’m all for inclusion of everyone and others being treated fairly.
What I’m not for is how it’s being implemented in the industry currently.
It’s an inclusion for me, exclusion for thee, motto, and it’s ruining some games.

please elaborate. because from what I’m seeing, people are outraged over just having more character creation options or more variety of characters. i can’t see how that’s exclusion.

Many companies have been hiring only Dei candidates and excluding white people completely.
Black girl gamers is one An ex employee said it themselves.
Many others follow the same.

The elusive Nazi on Lemmy. How funny.
I can't fathom how fragile your self identity as "white man" must be, if the inclusion of non white people and women in video games is somehow this upsetting to you. I bet you're one of those people who cry about wokeism on the Steam forums.

You’re sick in the head if you’re calling me a nazi.
Get help.

Black Girl Games is one of several consulting companies that promote more diversity in games and other media. Not to exclude white people completely.
Let’s see what we can agree on here, please stop me when you disagree with my statement.
Racism still exists and is a problem in the world today
The best tool we have against racism is knowledge and exposure to other cultures and ethnicities
Having more than two or three AAA games with a main character that is a minority will give gamers that first hand experience with the represented culture
Therefore, more representation is good for combating racism and as an extra benefit is giving more diverse worlds/stories to play
There are still a metric buttload of games with white main characters or character creators that let you be white
Minorities will be happy to see themselves represented
Diversity is not the enemy, and companies are trying to level the playing field, not erase white people
I want to know specifically what your problem with dei efforts are so we can clear up any confusion.
