That has quickly become my most hated phrase. I just respond that they need to write their own story that takes place in this modern world and leave the works of better people alone
Be on the look out for the phrase "best practices" too. It means some bureaucrat is about to do something terrible while putting the responsibility for it nominally on the entirety of the global laptop class, which is functionally nobody.
Good point. I’m sure they would use the tired “this is a fantasy world you mean you can have magic and wizards but no black/brown ppl?” Which if that’s the case then they can write their own fantasy. But of course they use this excuse to attack actual fans who call them out for bastardizing the source material
Yeah, this is something you see quite a bit - I'm sad to say quite a bit (though not exclusively) from Americans, I suspect because a lot of mediaeval history pre-dates the US even existing.
Most people in the middle ages were insular and provincial - this is something my mother even sees doing her bloody genealogy. People who simply don't know any better will list tentative links between families with the same surname - like "Smith" - hundreds of miles apart, in the 1600s in mainland Europe.
I'm sorry, love, but the truth of the matter is that neither group you say are linked ever saw or even heard of each other before their miserable lives ended far too early. The life of anybody who wasn't either rich enough to go travelling or a soldier or some other occupation that paid you to go travelling was that you stayed at home. That's just the way things were back then. Don't condone it, not foolish enough to close my eyes to it.
Leftists: everything and everyone in the past was irredeemably racist!
Also leftists: how dare you suggest the past wasn’t perfectly representative of my carefully-curated, multiracial, modern-day friend group!
Meanwhile, right now on planet earth, the vast majority of human beings live in highly insular social groups that are ethnically and racially homogeneous. The racial Pokémon champions are not reflective of hardly anyone’s real experiences. That’s why everyone identifies more with a Netflix show starring 99% Asians than we do with shows that are perfectly “diverse”.
The problem is the people using that phrase usually don't actually understand "the world we live in", so -- ironically -- what they're doing isn't creating a realistic fictional world, but rather a bizarre fictional world designed entirely support their nonsensical worldview.
This is like those B-tier Christian movies that are so common. They're impossible to engage with because you know everything is written to support "the message". This makes it impossible to suspend belief and actually get invested in the story or the characters.
It's the same with the Left. Every piece of fiction they create is about "the message" and has little to no bearing on reality. As such, you feel like you're reading or watching a propaganda piece, not a real story.
I love those Christian movies although to be fair to them, they make it clear they are about the message. The people that take over IPs insist they are respecting the lore or that the race swap actually makes sense. Rian Johnson insisted he respected Luke’s character
There is a decent argument that Pulp Fiction is accidentally a modern take on medieval Christian morality tales. Augustine's rightly ordered loves is God at the top then blood bonds then friends neighbors then material and pleasures, and evil is a result of misordering these loves.
Medieval stories were often told out of order for the sake of the message. The first part, where Jules famously eats the burger, shows evil winning as Vincent and Jules place material gain over love of fellow man. The second part features Vincent about to betray his boss by sleeping with his wife while they are both high, but ends with good prevailing as their loyalty to Wallace is placed above sex and drugs. The third part has Butch putting familial love, the gold watch, over his own safety and material gain. Butch and Marcellus bond over spilling blood, both theirs and others, and the ensuing love resolves their material dispute. The movie ends with Jules placing his faith in God above all else, giving up crime, his money, and sparing the robbers.
"It's current year!" "To reflect the current environment" "To represent marginalised groups"
All this talk for one simple answer, they are unable to understand anything outside their only lens for viewing the world so cannot write concepts that don't fit. It's why the conservatives understand the leftists more since they frequently view media they produce to understand their concepts (to defeat them)
The the fuck is hiring these monstrosities? Like who is sitting in a job interview with this thing and being like "this mentally ill perversion of nature would be ideal to take a leadership role in video game development!"?
Gender identity is a protected class. If 10% of your applicants are trannies and you don't hire any, then you're discriminating against them. Which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing. But it's also a crime.
Unless you can come up with a really good reason why every tranny who has ever applied to your company wasn't a good fit, you're going to get destroyed by the courts.
Ever wonder why it seems like every company in the world is suddenly flooded with mentally ill men in wigs, as if someone pushed a button? Someone did, and that someone was the supreme court in a decision called Bostock vs Clayton.
In essence, being a tranny makes you impossible to not hire. It's state enforced poison.
This is why games with heavy narrative elements are crap now. If all the writers are leftist tranny weirdos who despise you and your worldview, then why would you ever play through a narrative-focused game? Gameplay was always king, but now it’s practically all that matters - because the alternative is tranny nonsense.
All I can hear them saying is “ Peecha wanjee kopa. Bah noni ettraki droi Solo incapitta” [I like Captain Solo where he is. I will not give up my favorite decoration]
Go to amy corporate (US) website and chances are you'll see a black on the main screen without scrolling. Even if there are only three or four people in total on that screen. 13% yet 100% likelihood of appearing. Sometimes you actually have to scroll a few times to see an unambiguously white person (as opposed.to some racially androgenous person that could be white). And if you do it probably depicts a coal burning white woman. It puts the diversity on its skin or else it gets cancelled again.
And yet on any project sufficiently large enough to have a narrative director, he or she will have far more influence on the player experience than almost any other single developer.
That has quickly become my most hated phrase. I just respond that they need to write their own story that takes place in this modern world and leave the works of better people alone
Be on the look out for the phrase "best practices" too. It means some bureaucrat is about to do something terrible while putting the responsibility for it nominally on the entirety of the global laptop class, which is functionally nobody.
"Best Practices" should mean using spaces or tabs for your company's codebase. Miss me with that shit outside formatting decisions.
I'm firmly in the Tabs camp.
Same, but JS and Python devs must mald to feel something, so here I am.
Another word/phrase for them to ruin
Looks at Rangz
... the world you're writing in - well, let's be honest, pissing on - has bloody dragons, how does this reflect the world we live in?

They're all so obsessed with such mundane concepts as identity. Nobody cares what you are; they care what you do and why.
The the fuck is hiring these monstrosities? Like who is sitting in a job interview with this thing and being like "this mentally ill perversion of nature would be ideal to take a leadership role in video game development!"?
You're hired, professional hole digger! Congrats xe!

People who became monstrosities after getting hired typically.
Everything is shit. The world is dominated by criminals. And, there are fags everywhere. Yep, that checks out.

"To reflect my delusions."
Written for middling games and supplementary materials. Nothing to do with the comics the game is based on. Shocker.
All I can hear them saying is “ Peecha wanjee kopa. Bah noni ettraki droi Solo incapitta” [I like Captain Solo where he is. I will not give up my favorite decoration]
Why do you care if a comic book character is gay? You don’t read comics?
This is what happens when you don’t gatekeep.
/son wants this game, not buying it for him.
This is what happens when you hire The Penguin.
