I don't see how that explains the contradiction.Because in the vast majority of games (not to mention movies) it's still white, straight men as the protagonists. Something the non-white, non-straight non-male community has pretty much tolerated without too much if any vocalization, because why would anyone listen to them, right? But now that a small percentage of games and movies dare to veer away from white, straight male protagonists a certain segment is utterly losing their shit and getting super racist, sexist and homophobic about it. Almost like that's what they always were, but never had to reveal since the odds were always (and still really are) in their favour.
So there's your contradiction; decades of the LGBTQ community not uttering a word over the lack of (positive) represention in media, a slight shift, a small step at maybe a course correction, and certain people turn into rabid baboons.
There are, and always have been, games with women protagonists that aren't complained about.
There are, and always have been, games with minority protagonists that aren't complained about.
I've cited several examples of both in this topic.
What I'm asking you is why aren't these games complained about? Why are only SOME games complained about?
This is the contradiction you have to explain.
I'll make it easier for you. Just explain why there was no outrage over The Ballad of Gay Tony, which starred both a black protagonist, and "Gay Tony"?
According to you there SHOULD have been outrage over this. Why wasn't there any?
