I like this video a lot and enjoy its points in many aspects. There's just ooooone little aspect that's really enraging me that I need to get off my chest before I finish the video. *ahem*
Different races, genders and sexuality are NOT the only freaking ways to 'include', and calling a series 'oh so inclusive' just for checking all of those boxes is infuriating to me, because it makes me think about how little thought you must have put into that conclusion.
What about people who don't like M-rated content? Hum? What about the family values crowd? Ah screw them, right? They don't count as people, apparently.
What about all the kids who won't get to play the game--that they might have seen online and liked the look of--because their parents don't want them playing something so obscene? What about people who are just kind of uncomfortable at stuff like that?
So you're saying we shouldn't have violence or R-rated content in games at all?
No, I like games with R rated content. I just don't want people calling something that alienates a giant, huge ton of people with its content to be called 'welcoming to all', especially by smart people like Jim.
So every game should appeal to all people?
No obviously not EVERY one will like anything, but second verse, same as the first.
