Re: DEI based game design

Also don't mistake what I said there for a right-wing nut job rant.
I'm so far from that it may not even be worth trying to explain.  I
have friends that are like family to me by the dozens in the music
industry, and that is the most open-minded sub-culture you can
imagine, with people of all types.  Some of the great pioneers of
synthesis were transgender, gay, black etc. and they all get nothing
but respect.

The problem is injecting politics into games in settings where it
makes no sense and/or breaks immersion. 

Make a game where the backdrop is some modern urban or suburban
setting, and you have many more liberties with character dialog,
character customization, etc. without breaking immersion.  Injecting
copious amounts of female soliders running around in a multiplayer WWI
or WWII game shooting and screaming is a design decision that could
only be made after a chemical labotomy or major head trauma has
affected the designer's sense of good judgement.
