I loathe SJW agenda that seems to only aim to try and pick up offenses and non-issues rather than productively make a positive impact on the industry. It's all click bait and claiming BS that the author's usually seem to have no real first hand knowledge of in the first place. Calling out majority of gamers at large as racist sexist basement dwellers because they like video games. When in reality the majority of gamers don't care about the pallette or model used on a main character represents any sort of diversity or not. We care if a game is fun and enjoyable and race/naughtiness of the characters in the game have minimal importance other than how it relates to that gaming world.

I really think that the movement started as an offset of what's going on in pop culture with the SJW's and someone found a niche market that was undefiled by SJW baiters so decided to capitalize on that opportunity in order further their own capital endeavors and agendas rather than increase awareness of real issues in the industry and help do more to improve community.

i mostly agree.

i'm very much in favor of equality.  i think women, non-white skinned people, religion i suppose (not that it comes up in video games much) really deserve respect.  i think women especially get portrayed as "naughtiness dolls" too often.  i think non-whites are underrepresented too.  the industry could do better to be a bit less white male oriented. 

...but the SJW in video games are just dicks most of the time.  well, they are extremists but that is basically the same thing.   in a story driven character game like uncharted you just can't replace nathon drake with an optional women, and optional black guy, and optional whatever.   the developer is telling a specific story and it has to be one person.  it's no different than horizion,.. the main is a girl and there really can't be an option to change her into a man without massively changing the way the game plays.

What's funny is that I actually hated blitzball, at first. Once I learned how to properly set my team up in good scoring position, it turned out to be pretty fun.

Nothing will ever top the boat/canoe scenes.

Plus the cut scenes were interactive!

I don't care about Persona in any way, shape, or form. Don't even care about it from a fanboy perspective and P5 helping PS4.

Nope. I'm not saying it's bad. It's just not something I care about.

I don't care about Japanese games in general.
