Hah! Did I hear the pot calling the kettle black? The issue is not about not tolerating different opinions, at least not the way you probably imagine it. This is about not wanting grating and unrelenting neo-moralizing propagandizing of ONE politically correct viewpoint inserted in a game that depends upon immersion. That's the opposite of pluralism you espouse.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker licensed by Paizo is a recent relevant example; about all the female characters were shallow radical feminist tropes. The oppression, oh the humanity, won't someone think of the women! Their Stream forum was zealously moderated by radicals who went on an ideological crusade against heretics. At one point like 1 in 10 (confirmation bias trigger warning) of the regulars was banned (at least I never saw so much posts for later banned people in my life) and warnings were handed out like a paedo hands out candy during Halloween lol.


My dude, but it's only weird if you make it weird, honestly. Believe me, I was in your place a couple of years back. Today I simply don't care. Some things I agree, some things I don't.

Imagine if everyone would give their two cents about what devs can say on their game's story and what thay can't.

But today I think what ruins games, and what we should REALLY care about, are games being released incomplete, full of bugs and lots of microtransactions.

Not being confrontanional, my man! Just saying I understand you, but it's not a big deal unless you make it be
