[QUOTE="The Catboy, post: 10416314, member: 202697"] I think the biggest links are that these projects were turned into overhyped and massive budgeted “AAA” games. They spent more money attempting to make games for mass appeal, which created shallow and boring games. The fact that they have the shared black female protagonists is because they all also spent way too much money on DEI groups, who also introduced their own politics and opinions into the games. As a result, we got unfinished games filled to the brim with personal politics and shallow attempts to mass appeal. Not to mention these games also were filled with cringeworthy dialogue, ugly design choices, and a serious lack of creativity. That said, I don’t think it’s helpful to keep treating black female leads as the problem. I think people need to blame the reasons behind why this representation has become a concern. That is to say, they aren’t making good characters and like everything else in these games, the black female lead is just another superficial character in a superficial game. They aren’t a character first, they aren’t a person, instead, they are poor example of industry focus groups’ and DEI efforts to push what they want to see. Then crying “sexism” and “racism” when they are characters no one can connect to. Simply put, I don’t think it does much good to focus on the characters as “black female characters” because those shouldn’t be the problem. It’s the fact that they are boring, shallow, safe, and unreliable to anyone, that the only details people can say about they is their appearance and nothing else. [/QUOTE]
