As a person who advocates for diversity in games this whole thing is laughable We have had exactly 1!! female protagonist in the top 25 bestselling games of the last three years. That list also includes only 1 Latino. That's not forced diversity. There is no diversity at all.

Saying “aMoNg Us WaSnT fIrSt” is a bad take: Among us is inspired by Mafia but adds brand new mechanics (emergency meetings, tasks, cameras, 3D, no moderator & a lot more) Imposters is a reskinned remake that reuses most of the SPECIFIC features that Among Us introduced.

It sucks because a diverse group of overworked and exploited workers are fighting for any crumbs of representation in games + the worst internet people are trying to convince everyone that like 3 brown side characters are a big conspiracy lol

Indie game length discourse is bunz. Astroneer has been updated 40+ times, constantly has an event running with rewards & people still review negatively because “no content”…all for the cost of two movie tickets. These people will never be happy, don’t let them get to you.

Heartbreaking to see the responses in this thread, but I’m not surprised. Racists/sexists/anti-LGBTQ people try and fuck with marginalized groups by policing terms and language they deem “woke”. It’s rarely actually about the word, they just hate to see us shine.
