I despise the “we want to make it more inclusive or we need more representation” argument because “nerd hobbies” in my experience tended to appeal to white and Asian guys mostly. Nothing wrong with that. Contrary to the hacks that get put in charge of these IPs, nobody was stopping women or minorities from playing D&D, gaming, comics, etc. I even joke to this day that if I met a woman who was obsessed with Skyrim I’d propose on the spot.
At my local comic book store has a lot of table top gaming and people are there playing a lot. I’ve sat down and asked about the game and they were more than happy to explain it and invited me to play on a number of occasions. Just like if someone asks me about Superman I’ll go in depth with comic recommendations. Same with sci-fi
Inclusion is a bold faced lie with a word that has positive connotations to give warm fuzzy feelings while they slide the Social Justice knife into your back. You can't spend more time, energy, resources on one group without spending less on another or diluting your brand. The correct solution would be to create new products in the market segments they want to "include". Like how there's a type of manga for everyone. They don't try to make boys comics inclusive of girls. They make girls comics.
The real goal is taking away the things that you love. Blocking your escape from their cult, and destroying your culture. It's 1984 Newspeak. "Exclusion is Inclusion."
That’s why my eye twitches whenever I hear that word
