I'm currently going through Babylon 5 on HBO Max (just started the second season) and I was chuckling to myself because according to the woke left and their cheerleaders in entertainment media there were no women or minorities in TV/Movies prior to a few years ago. Probably the biggest example of this gaslighting was during the obnoxious overhyping of Black Panther. It was like nobody remembered that Blade was a fairly popular movie, and I don't remember them obsessing over the fact that the lead was black. I actually thought Black Panther was pretty good but he seemed to be upstaged in his own movie by the other characters. The second biggest example was the 2016 Ghostbusters. That was the first time I ever noticed the "if you don't like this movie you are an evil person" agenda from critics. They also seemed to act like there was never a movie with a mostly female cast.
I am a firm believer that this obsession with representation/diversity has been the worst thing to ever happen to entertainment. I also never would have dreamed that it would infect the gaming world. It seems to be a very arrogant position to take as well. As a life long comic book collector I can attest to the fact that there are women who are into comics, but I question anyone male or female who can't shut up about how they aren't represented or think that everything must cater to them. You would think these massive companies would know better than to hire people who seem to hate the product and couldn't be bothered to study the lore.
I remember telling one of these diversity obsessed people online that The Cosby Show was one of if not the most popular show of the 80s and they said that it doesn't count because they didn't examine race/black experience. I just stopped talking to him. Although sadly it is those idiots that the companies will bend over backwards for.
I always wanted to ask some of these people that if they are so bothered by the fact that most gamers/comic book fans/sci-fi fans are white males then why don't they find a new hobby.
Remember, we're talking about people for whom truth is a malleable thing - they don't even use "the truth", instead preferring "their truth".
In other words, these are people who will use whatever lie advances their cause at any given moment, and will switch to a new lie as soon as that becomes convenient.
It doesn't work unless you have a giant media apparatus at your back to try and cover up your wild inconsistencies with overwhelming propaganda. I think the media firms backing this up quite like the idea of a world where the world is what they say it is, so they're content to play along.
