diversity in computer games - problems and best practice

[petermiller12]

hi there, touching on the articles here in The Escapist I would like to know more about

- how the actual bodies of the game characters get designed, particularily regarding the race/ethnicity and gender of the figure? I'm looking for examples such as Laura Cruz was turned into Lara Croft (that is made white)

- I am also looking for best practices such as FABLE, where you can choose a gay protagonist to identify with. Or where inter-ethnic group dynamics can be experienced?

- are there any activists/protest groups who fight for more diversity in computer games?

Thanks, Peter

I doubt that this belongs in the RP section. If anything, I think you should have just posted in the original article, or at least in the Off-topic section. You may want to ask a mod to help you there, since the RP section doesn't get a ton of views like the others.

To actually answer you question, I cannot fathom what your question is. You put question marks, but they don't really ask anything. Except for the last one, which I don't possess the knowledge to answer.

Edit: Also, you appear to have made an identical thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.129118#2787393] for some reason. Made at exactly 9:00, 1 minute before this thread.
Edit2: Which is in the Off-topic section...that's one way to get a maximum amount of discussion.
