The issue is when these guys act like all games should be designed with sex appeal in mind and that any game that any game that isn't is an attack on them. Never mind the ridiculousness of accusing those who prefer Hades over Stellar Blade of hating Asians when 1) Hades' art director is an Asian woman and 2) this is the same crowd that got mad at Hermes being depicted as an Asian man.

These guys aren't against capitalism, they're against capitalism pandering to someone other than them for more than five seconds.
No games shouldn't be getting more mainstream. When you appeal to everyone you appeal to no one. Look at Ubisoft for example or EA or even Activision or Take 2.

If a game's appeal is dependent on how white / heterosexual / male / etc. the heroes are rather than the gameplay, graphics, etc., then maybe gaming should die a death.

Schools not selling whole milk isn't the same as schools barring people from drinking whole milk.
So kids have fridges to use that they can put their whole milk they brought from home? The fact is democrats made it so kids can't have the healthiest milk at school. Also, what you posted is not true.

So it wasn't true, then. Its just that they were being provided with a different, healthier kind of milk for a while.
Whole milk is the healthiest milk, more the nutrients are in the fat.

Whole milk is the healthiest milk, all (or at least significant amount) the nutrients are in the fat.
There are plenty of foods that schools do not provide to students. That doesn't constitute a ban. I would be silly to me to claim that schools have banned lobster thermidor from campuses just because it's not on the school lunch menu.

Whole milk was available then it was not allowed because it's "unhealthy" as determined by bullshit science. Kids should get real milk, but they are somehow allowed the much unhealthier chocolate milk.

The thing you posted is a straight-up lie.

You seem to be getting real worked up over milk lobbying.

Well, no, that's really simplistic.

Skimmed milk has equal protein to whole milk, and even slightly more calcium, potassium & sodium. Vitamins A and D are removed in the skimming process... but are then added back in by producers, so the end product usually has about the same amount.

Pretty much the only noteworthy differences are the levels of saturated fat and cholesterol being higher in whole milk. Yes, those fats may be useful (for instance in processing fat-soluble vitamins). But they're also very very easy to overconsume. Especially in America, with its childhood obesity epidemic.

Do you know the difference between something being allowed and being provided?

Dietary cholesterol has like no effect on your own cholesterol. Fortification is a bit different that getting such nutrients in their natural form. Kids aren't obese because they are drinking whole milk. Kids are obese from eating shitty foods that are now what they get from the school cafeteria, Lunchables are now deemed fine school lunches, that's not food...

Do kids have personal fridges to use?

Isn't that the far right's whole problem with Hades. Or at least the problem they pretend to have. That the character designs aren't beautiful in the ''mainstream'' sense but are instead appeal to some rarer sensibilities.

Seems they're the ones demanding Hades becomes less unique and more mainstream.

And yet niche games like StarRail, Genshin, FF7REB, Stellar Blade, and Both Nier games that do appeal to how pretty the characters look are doing well. Your Mass Effects Andoremdas, Assassins Creed, and various WB games aren't.

I don't personally have a problem with Hades 1 or 2 but then again I don't bother with Roguelike Time-wasters.

Most of those games are not dependent on how attractive their characters are. Stellar Blade and Genshin, maybe-- hence why they're the most shallow and least interesting among them.

Genshin's story is better than almost all Gachas. Your Tower of Fantasy and even Wuthering Waves don't come close.

Edit: Also Stellar's blade combat is leagues ahead of Vindictus which was then leagues ahead of WOW.

Not to any meaningful degree WRT skimmed vs whole milk.

Not alone, obviously-- yet saturated fat builds up. A single glass of whole milk contains 20% of an adult's recommended intake. That's... actually a damn lot.

:LOL: how low is your bar?!

Besides-- you're now arguing that it's success is dependent on other factors, not just sexual appeal. Which supports Agema's point to begin with.

The sex appeal is the center of gravity of the game. It's the sausage in a hotdog, you still need a bun(story and combat), and it would be nice to have relish(Better pull luck), onions(endgame), and a place to sell it(community support). Without Eula, Raiden, and like characters no one much less people would pull. Lootboxes for guns are nice, but the sex appeal is what drive longevity. Explain to me this, why is Destiny 2 failing but Skyrim SE isn't? One is a single-player game because one has mods including sexy mods, and the other just has guns that get deleted after a certain period, and mask on and mask off ugly characters.
