Is there a literal prohibition on white male leads in western game dev?
Virtually every western advertisement put sassy girl bosses - both real and virtual - front and center. You’d think the majority of competitive online players are female, the way the industry panders to the demo.
Meanwhile, Eastern game devs are cranking out the only media with masculine males and feminine females. The Last Berzerker and Crimson Desert feature white male leads even, a clear indicator that Asian devs are targeting what they correctly perceive to be a gap in the western market.
And the countless female characters in Eastern games? Just as present and powerful, but they aren’t insufferable cunts or masculine abominations. No, eastern female characters are unapologetically attractive and feminine.
The awards also focused on women nonstop. Women in the crowd. Women on stage with the award winners. Female presenters. Meanwhile, almost every winner was a white or Asian dude. Because they are still the ones who put in the hard work to make the fucking games.
Watching the live chats was great, though. The moment you saw purple, people were calling woke. And the best part is knowing that all of the defenders and shills are definitely seething leftists who are terrified of the current cultural realignment.
Wait. A new Witcher has been announced and still within the same time period of Geralt?
Well Fucking R.I.P. They could not let him retire with Yen / Triss in Corvo Bianco huh? They are prolly pulling a Luke Skywalker or Indiana Jones, drag him out of retirement and either kill him off or turn him into a fucking wimp.
Fuck CDPR. That speed this studio fell is something to be studied.
It's like they always say: the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
