Three things. First the E doesn't stand for equality, it stands for Equity. It's not about equality, it's about "getting even". Second, these people screaming "representation matters" don't actually care about YOUR representation, or mine, but theirs. And that is what we are seeing in... honestly in most western media these days. Do you remember when John Luigezamo was asked about his thoughts on the Mario movie and he whined about a lack of Latino representation in a movie about Italians in a magic world? And the truth is, there prolly are a lot of queer and progressive people in creative fields such as gaming. Another thing is that for as much as the DEI crowd say they care about diversity, notice how the attempts to slander media from actual diverse locations. See the recent examples of Stellar Blade and Black Myth Wukong. It reminds me when western creators tried to paint Japanese anime and games as inferior, strange and perverse. Because if media effects culture, they don;t want anyone else to dictate culture.
I can tell you didn’t listen while watching this, because I literally said that the E stood for Equity. Imma refrain from reading the rest of this paragraph due to this 😂 Edit: Nvm, I feel bad, imma read it.
You’re absolutely right about how they care about THEIR representation. Just look how many of their DEI Characters are self inserts of the people who work at SBI
Not to mention, old Cyrax represented a minority. Botswana. So, yeah, he technically was inclusive originally, it just wasn't essential to his character arc. He just happened to represent Botswana.
@gamingking22291 This is how you do inclusion. Just have inclusive traits (minority, gender, even homosexuality) just... Be part of the character. Don't have them shove it in your face, don't have that be their only real trait, just let them be their own people, with the color of their skin as a sort of backdrop. You get what I mean.
It feels very patronizing honestly, these companies/developers are like “hey person of X identity group, we put a terrible caricature of you in our game/product, buy it now okay?

I just want to clarify, DEI doesn't mean diversity, equity and inclusion they are just the words that make up the acronym, DEI is actually forced inclusion through the moral disguise of equity with the end goal of complete diversification. In videogames and entertainment honestly it's whatever, the consumers of the market will eventually show the developers of the market that pandering to 3% at the expense of their primary player base is not a profitable business venture. The real issue takes hold when DEI affects things that actually hurt individuals such as employment...at that point no matter how they want to justify the discrimination it is simply unjustifiable. At the end of the day, diversification of people requires the same terrible behaviors associated with purification of people.
Seeing as how Ubisoft, is now making a custom "mentorship program" for game development for women and non binary people specifically and not men just proves your point. this gives these groups of people a head start in comparison to what men get, this is in no way or form equality it is literally like you said complete diversification. The thing is this will lead to people who are not passionate about gaming to get into the field, like most women and non binary people may see this as just a job opportunity not as a thing to do out of passion.
Also ive seen some "activists" say that 40k is anti lgbtq and has no equality despite there being a black, white and (i think) spanish marine call eachother brothers, people want too much sometimes (including me when it comes to cosmetics)
Bro shit is so bad not even ANGRY JOE can’t ignore it anymore. I hate talking about it too cause it’s annoying and exhausting but it has to be brought out into the light otherwise it’s gonna keep getting worse and worse.
Also another point is that most people who play video games are straight men while woman and lgbtq play them the general audience for gaming is usually straight men it’s ok to have games for those audiences but it doesn’t make sense to put them in games that are made for us guys who just wanna play a fun game

For those wondering, 3% of 8 billion is 240,000,000. Not as much as I was expecting, but still a relatively small percentage of the population on earth.
Glad somebody finally spoke on this. I don't these different groups getting included & being more involved but when it gets to a point that it all feels forced that's when it starts becoming a problem. Feel like anything post 2014 or 2015 started going that route (gaming mainly) really wild times we live in
what's crazy is I think they think they're doing a good thing for their community when in reality they're pulling this stunt when gaming is at its worse, and because of it; now people are starting to assosciate their community with "the people who made our games bad and gay".
Stop blaming minorities on the problems with the gaming industry. Your enemy is the greed corporate execs who push nigh impossible deadlines and monetary schemes into games, not the lesbian in the writing room who was hired by said exec because he thinks he can get brownie points by doing so.
I think Apex is a bad example. Sure they spinning a sexuality wheel for each character but it doesn't force itself into the lore to where it ruins it or anything. Like the only important lore point that involves character sexuality is Loba and Valkyrie's relationship.
I really couldn’t give less of a crap if a game has lgbt people in it. But ngl that spider man 2 side quest felt forced af. Like they forced it into the game. Like bro, your his boyfriend it should just be a given. Also bloodhound slander shall not be tolerated
The whole problem is that instead of a good story. They force equality for anything. Idc if you're gay, fat, skinny, alien, or anything really. Give gamers a reason to wanna play your game without mentioning diversity
I agree with what you say man. I swear DEI just put gay people in such a bad light here. I swear I have been watching some 2000s shows and man, those shows in that decade Handled diversity so much better and amazing. I say this as a bi guy. Im so done with DEI here, they are creating more problems here than they are solving them here 👀
I didn't know you were bi. Do you mind if I treat you unfairly now, but I'll put you in all my videogames as the annoying, yet, badass main character? Does that sound good, Mousy?! 😂😂 I feel yoouu! I miss when the sexuality was addressed maybe once or twice, LIGHTLY, then they got back to the topic at hand
To me games like overwatch 2 and Tekken and street fighter 6 does diversity right. Have characters around the world, they arent ugly and they don't make it a big deal what their sexuality or color are. And this is a huge shock for overwatch 2 since many western studios do a terrible job at it. Super RARE blizzard W. Im a Christian and tracer who is a lesbian is my 2nd favorite character. Thats how good they did with it
Mass Effect is another series I think actually handles this real well. We have an openly bisexual race (the asari; which includes Liara and Samara), there’s also LGBTQ+ characters like Kelly Chambers or Steve Cortez.
I agree with you on OW. Though it was really odd that they shoehorned Solider into being gay but they didn't make it his personality. The same goes for Tracer. OW is diversity done right in my eyes.
I don’t understand, is there something innately “off” or “forced” about not having white or straight characters? Are we considering being “white” in a video game to be the norm when it’s not even that it is, but that the “norm” doesn’t exist to begin with? Maybe your mind is misguided but not a single character in Overwatch mentions their “race,” only their nationality and the entire preface of the game is about a global team of superheroes. The game isn’t trying to be “diverse,” that’s just how the game is literally founder on. And for Tekken it’s the same thing; why are non-white characters considered “diverse” when characters can just be made because game devs want to make certain characters? You’re trying to force this message, that non-white people and queer people are the “others” in gaming when the entire point of gaming is to avoid all of that. Characters are just that- characters; stop interjecting your own identity politics into the sphere.
@@davidlauderdale7147 bro what 😂 someone sounds hurt lmao 😂 and not white protagonist? Let's see prototype 2 the protagonist was black, telltale the walking dead and deathloop.

Honestly didn't realize Judy was gay until AFTER she got in my pants. Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition, same story. Yet during the R6 crossover for Ghost Recon Wildlands I figured out immediate Frost and Cav was a couple while my straight friend had it fly over his head.

This is why I’m glad for Black Myth Wukong’s success IGN was so hurt about that game winning their fanmade GOTY poll they erased it and acted like FF7 Rebirth won😂
Ok fair enough, you made solid arguments but i feel like the conversation around DEI and "woke" stuff in media has overshadowed talking about the actual game, the gameplay, level design, art style, narrative. It is a constant culture war that has gotten very tiring and very toxic. Like, a character being gay doesn't affect the quality so why are people so obssesed with that nowadays?
Probably the same reason people didn't like the last of us 2. Because the characters were written bad. See it's one thing to have a minor character with bad writing, it's easy to look past. When that person is someone like Abby, who is a character you play for half the game, then it becomes hard to ignore and sours the story the game is trying to tell. That's just my two cents though.
It's absolutely wild that all these woke games tried to make a message just to get absolutely railed by Black Myth:Wukong. You can't bully your game into being good.
@@sup3414 "Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights." You have all of this knowledge at the click of a button yet you choose to still be wrong.
@@sup3414 dude you just got your arse seriously kicked. You have access to the WORLD WIDE WEB! Heck ChatGPT that if you're completely dense of the definition of woke. Nah bro you're either gaslighting or seriously ignorant. Please tell me it's the former and not the latter. Redeem yourself brother.
@@sup3414 If you're some moral high ground guy who knows everything why are you on this video? You wanted a logical definition, I gave you one and you think you're onto something why argue with me knowing no answer will satisfy you?
What is worse is that these same characters are sometimes modeled off of beautiful women, they make the character look ugly. I know some people want characters to relate to, but games are about escapism, having fun and playing as good-looking men and women. It is more about self-inserting if you see what the women making these games look like.
Catalyst is trans? Did not know that. It is so pleasant to see a likeable character who's Trans rather than a character who's only supposed to be likeable because they're trans. Catalyst is awesome, and that's some well done representation I can get behind. Also fuck Concord lmfao
I remember the game journalists rage when in Jedi Survivor Cal and Merrin were into each other they were so made there was a straight relationship in a high budget game.
The thing is one of the directors stated that she is pan and they hired a notoriously bad female author (known to force her own ideologies into game novels) to make a novel and she turned Merrin into a rude lesbian, it's still woke.
Yasuke to Yas-gay is wild. If anyone is gay in the gender swapped cyborgs its probably Cyrax. Sektor is downbad for Bi-Han. they definitely bumping hips.
The deadshot thing was so much worse. 1st he's just an imposter with the same skills somehow. 2nd both deadshots have the same dna? 3. One of the deadshots is from another universe.......except the timeline doesn't add up considering nobody knew about another earth. They took an easy thing, and made it impossibly complicated.....
Ok so you are actually wrong about three things So 1. Sweetbaby never worked with WB on MK1 I mean they added Mileena’s Deception Skin in MK1 without any censorship btw and you can check for yourself 2. Cyrax and Sektor are both Straight Cyrax has a liking for Takeda and Sektor, Bi Han 3. Mileena and Tanya have been a thing since MKX I not trying to be rude Just pointing out some things my Broda
Bruh I almost spat out my drink when you said “Trick Williams”😂 man even I wanted to Whoop That Trick when I saw what they did to this game. It’s like the Game devs and Sweet Baby are allergic to making money.
I don’t really care this type of shit, but seeing these patterns in almost every modern game is worrying. But at the same time is it really that big a deal? Is it really sweet baby’s fault or is it just bad writing??? Also ain’t no way you complaining about pronouns. I’m getting Starfield flashbacks. Still love your channel tho!
They race swapped deadshot because of the movies most people did not know who the suicide squad were before that movie and I refuse to argue that so most people are accustomed to seeing him as a black guy this very thing happened to the guardians of the galaxy they look and act completely different to any version pre mcu so deadshot being black has less to do with DEI and more the fact most people only saw the movie and in that he was black and to avoid confusion
@ye87 he does show his face in Arkham City and he's white. Also why would a game with Arkham Batman be marketed towards people who saw the Suicide Squad movie over the people who played the Arkham games?
Mileena and Tanya being queer was something that was established years ago since MK X. They were already a thing by then. It wasn’t something that came out of nowhere in MK 1 Also Cyrax doesn’t seem to be LGBT either, in fact her sexuality was never mentioned cuz it doesn’t matter to the story at all. We see a lot of heterosexual coupling and love in Khaos Reigns. Are you forgetting Emperor Rain and Empress Tanya? Emperor Reiko and Empress Li Mei who briefly appeared? Hetero stuff, and I love it
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 yes mk11 you can probably make a case for, but that only started because of mkx. but I can’t for the life of me find out what went on in mkx to inspire that

Somebody’s gotta do it ☝🏾
I just want to clarify, DEI doesn't mean diversity, equity and inclusion they are just the words that make up the acronym, DEI is actually forced inclusion through the moral disguise of equity with the end goal of complete diversification. In videogames and entertainment honestly it's whatever, the consumers of the market will eventually show the developers of the market that pandering to 3% at the expense of their primary player base is not a profitable business venture. The real issue takes hold when DEI affects things that actually hurt individuals such as employment...at that point no matter how they want to justify the discrimination it is simply unjustifiable.
At the end of the day, diversification of people requires the same terrible behaviors associated with purification of people.
Seeing as how Ubisoft, is now making a custom "mentorship program" for game development for women and non binary people specifically and not men just proves your point. this gives these groups of people a head start in comparison to what men get, this is in no way or form equality it is literally like you said complete diversification. The thing is this will lead to people who are not passionate about gaming to get into the field, like most women and non binary people may see this as just a job opportunity not as a thing to do out of passion.

The Sweet Baby slander will never get old. Never change Demigah 🤣
Glad somebody finally spoke on this. I don't these different groups getting included & being more involved but when it gets to a point that it all feels forced that's when it starts becoming a problem. Feel like anything post 2014 or 2015 started going that route (gaming mainly) really wild times we live in
If something has to be forced you just know that in a normal setting that something won’t go very far. Always keep one eye open.
what's crazy is I think they think they're doing a good thing for their community when in reality they're pulling this stunt when gaming is at its worse, and because of it; now people are starting to assosciate their community with "the people who made our games bad and gay".
Stop blaming minorities on the problems with the gaming industry. Your enemy is the greed corporate execs who push nigh impossible deadlines and monetary schemes into games, not the lesbian in the writing room who was hired by said exec because he thinks he can get brownie points by doing so.
I think Apex is a bad example. Sure they spinning a sexuality wheel for each character but it doesn't force itself into the lore to where it ruins it or anything. Like the only important lore point that involves character sexuality is Loba and Valkyrie's relationship.
Yeah honestly a really weird example they handle it like overwatch in there diversity seemed like an odd point to make.
Valkryrie is the only one who is open about it
I really couldn’t give less of a crap if a game has lgbt people in it. But ngl that spider man 2 side quest felt forced af. Like they forced it into the game. Like bro, your his boyfriend it should just be a given. Also bloodhound slander shall not be tolerated
The whole problem is that instead of a good story. They force equality for anything. Idc if you're gay, fat, skinny, alien, or anything really. Give gamers a reason to wanna play your game without mentioning diversity
My laptop would explode at any one of these games
3:54 You should’ve had a jumpscare warning
This line triggers a visceral reaction whenever I hear it
I agree with what you say man. I swear DEI just put gay people in such a bad light here. I swear I have been watching some 2000s shows and man, those shows in that decade Handled diversity so much better and amazing. I say this as a bi guy. Im so done with DEI here, they are creating more problems here than they are solving them here 👀
I didn't know you were bi. Do you mind if I treat you unfairly now, but I'll put you in all my videogames as the annoying, yet, badass main character? Does that sound good, Mousy?! 😂😂 I feel yoouu! I miss when the sexuality was addressed maybe once or twice, LIGHTLY, then they got back to the topic at hand
@@Demigah i dont mind. Go ham lol 😂
"You be soft" and "YASS GAYY" back to back is crazy🤣🤣
My bro Demigah did not hold back anymore 💀💀
And this is one of the many reasons why I stick to playing older games, because most games now lack any form of soul and passion
To me games like overwatch 2 and Tekken and street fighter 6 does diversity right. Have characters around the world, they arent ugly and they don't make it a big deal what their sexuality or color are. And this is a huge shock for overwatch 2 since many western studios do a terrible job at it. Super RARE blizzard W. Im a Christian and tracer who is a lesbian is my 2nd favorite character. Thats how good they did with it
Mass Effect is another series I think actually handles this real well.
We have an openly bisexual race (the asari; which includes Liara and Samara), there’s also LGBTQ+ characters like Kelly Chambers or Steve Cortez.
@@jj_grabes that's right. Mass effect did as well. Even the Witcher and many more games
I agree with you on OW. Though it was really odd that they shoehorned Solider into being gay but they didn't make it his personality. The same goes for Tracer. OW is diversity done right in my eyes.
I don’t understand, is there something innately “off” or “forced” about not having white or straight characters? Are we considering being “white” in a video game to be the norm when it’s not even that it is, but that the “norm” doesn’t exist to begin with? Maybe your mind is misguided but not a single character in Overwatch mentions their “race,” only their nationality and the entire preface of the game is about a global team of superheroes. The game isn’t trying to be “diverse,” that’s just how the game is literally founder on. And for Tekken it’s the same thing; why are non-white characters considered “diverse” when characters can just be made because game devs want to make certain characters? You’re trying to force this message, that non-white people and queer people are the “others” in gaming when the entire point of gaming is to avoid all of that. Characters are just that- characters; stop interjecting your own identity politics into the sphere.
@@davidlauderdale7147 bro what 😂 someone sounds hurt lmao 😂 and not white protagonist? Let's see prototype 2 the protagonist was black, telltale the walking dead and deathloop.

Demigah too good at deconstructing this shit cause this is crazy but some people really don’t know what equality means fasho. 💀

Ok fair enough, you made solid arguments but i feel like the conversation around DEI and "woke" stuff in media has overshadowed talking about the actual game, the gameplay, level design, art style, narrative. It is a constant culture war that has gotten very tiring and very toxic. Like, a character being gay doesn't affect the quality so why are people so obssesed with that nowadays?
Because a lot people do think it affects the quality and others don't hence the culture war.
@@jjojon7072 Exactly, which leads to people dismissing objective qualities about it
Probably the same reason people didn't like the last of us 2. Because the characters were written bad. See it's one thing to have a minor character with bad writing, it's easy to look past. When that person is someone like Abby, who is a character you play for half the game, then it becomes hard to ignore and sours the story the game is trying to tell. That's just my two cents though.

Preach, brother. We need more strong minded people like you speaking truth like this.
Isn’t it weird that all these modern day women in games look ugly
Sexism disguised as virtue is what that is.
What is worse is that these same characters are sometimes modeled off of beautiful women, they make the character look ugly. I know some people want characters to relate to, but games are about escapism, having fun and playing as good-looking men and women. It is more about self-inserting if you see what the women making these games look like.
Remember, we are called a minority for a reason.

I remember the game journalists rage when in Jedi Survivor Cal and Merrin were into each other they were so made there was a straight relationship in a high budget game.
How else will the Jedi order repopulate? Are the dumb?
The thing is one of the directors stated that she is pan and they hired a notoriously bad female author (known to force her own ideologies into game novels) to make a novel and she turned Merrin into a rude lesbian, it's still woke.

You my good man are one of the most real talking mo fo's on youtube I've ever found, and that fact alone deserves a sub.
They race swapped deadshot because of the movies most people did not know who the suicide squad were before that movie and I refuse to argue that so most people are accustomed to seeing him as a black guy this very thing happened to the guardians of the galaxy they look and act completely different to any version pre mcu so deadshot being black has less to do with DEI and more the fact most people only saw the movie and in that he was black and to avoid confusion
That doesn’t matter when we already had an established Deadshot across 2 out of the 4 Arkham games
@@Demigah correct me if I’m wrong but does he even show his face I’ve not played the one with deadshot in years
@ye87 he does show his face in Arkham City and he's white.
Also why would a game with Arkham Batman be marketed towards people who saw the Suicide Squad movie over the people who played the Arkham games?
Mileena and Tanya being queer was something that was established years ago since MK X. They were already a thing by then. It wasn’t something that came out of nowhere in MK 1
Also Cyrax doesn’t seem to be LGBT either, in fact her sexuality was never mentioned cuz it doesn’t matter to the story at all. We see a lot of heterosexual coupling and love in Khaos Reigns. Are you forgetting Emperor Rain and Empress Tanya? Emperor Reiko and Empress Li Mei who briefly appeared? Hetero stuff, and I love it
