Forgive me if it's old news, but I hadn't seen this before.

Check out the segment starting at 19:22. Druckman just says it out loud. There was a "pitch" (by team members who were explicitly tasked with injecting diversity) to make a character trans. I don't recall seeing this so directly stated anywhere else. Really confirms what we've long suspected.
Imagine a bunch of tranny and queer devs doing a little power point presentation for their boss explaining why a character in their video game should be trans. Then imagine the boss actually doing it. The state of modern western writing.
Can we get normal people making video games again or people who understand who actually is buying the game. Stop pandering to extreme minorities and stop thinking that every hobby is flooded with women. Look at comic books if you want to see how damaging that mindset it
The theory I have heard is that while the modern audience does not exist now, if the mainstream forces this sort of low quality, woke trash everywhere for as long as they can, the general public will come to accept it and then there will actually be a demand for it.
I doubt it will actually work as independents can still make what people want, and there is a massive backlog of older games/media, but far be it from these activists to live in reality.
That might work for streaming, but video games demand a level of mental focus. The average dopamine-fried ADHDcel will eventually skip the gaming part altogether if it doesn't keep them off their phones.
