Is it about diversity or more like little girls being vindictive?

I don't give a fuck to go 'wahh, I can't play a white person, wahh!' like you think I would in your wine box drunken fantasies. I'm more thinking 'they're focusing on race again, it'll be shit'. If you don't want me picking whitey, at least be inventive!
For example, my main issue with Mass Effect Andromeda (other than it being shit) is the didn't think of us being able to play other races.
One of the reasons why ME3 multiplayer was so popular was you could finally play as other races, do you have any idea how fun it was headbutting as a Krogan, dashing around as a Quarian or even endlessly healing as a Vorcha?
But instead these people are confined to only current day politics and even high school bitchy schoolgirl behaviour at that, sigh.
(To clarify, the first paragraph is taking about the person tweeting that comment, the wine box comment gave that away)
I won't play a video game if there's no white man to select unless the video game is made by another culture and/or setting specifically designed such that I wouldn't expect to find a White man like a Japanese game or Chinese game.
When western developers make western games where there's no reason not to include a White man except to make it about race you can bet you your ass I won't play it.
Like sure, if the game is a tv stealing simulator and all the playable characters are black men, I get it. If it's a standard western fantasy setting and they have everything except White men, I will boycott and I hope everyone else would too.
This is the problem, they're 'current day'ing' fiction! That wheelchair in D&D is a big example. It just shows how untalented they are.
Like if I was making a game that wasn't as restricted in setting I'd just go 'character selection, White, Black, Asian, Latin and Middle East ok now can we also add some cool shit like a cyborg, demon or even some eldritch horror shit our players can choose from?'. White should just be a default with the other races of humanity.
