Except this isn't even true. I never cared at all about seeing myself "represented" in a game I was playing.
It's a case of confession through projection. They are racist sexists and just assume everyone else is.
Of course, now I actively avoid any game that prominently features a female or non-white protagonist, but it's not because I'm not "represented," it's because it's a constant reminder of all of the people who have told me that they hate me.
Yup. My favorite games as a kid features the following main characters:
A large anthropomorphic mouse. A velociraptor. A bunch of robots.
I am not rodent, dinosaur, or machine. "Representation" is BS, gamers don't care.
But I guess they're not catering to Gamers, Gamers Are Dead after all (on which note, an undead, also one of my childhood games), they're catering to horrible imagination-less mindless morons.
I’ve tried to explain this to people and they get upset. Just like these fake gamer girls (women who actually like games don’t whine endlessly about sexism in games) get upset if you say that males are the majority of gamers
Yes, and since the majority of players are still white males, maybe you should take this into account.
I almost wish one of these CoD type games would make them see themselves in the game. Literally. Fat, slow, out of breath for walking a little bit.

They want to see themselves represented in your games. They aren’t gonna buy any of it, and they don’t give a shit about your representation.
