I actually brought up a similar point in response to the "rational skeptic" crowd claiming that "embracing diversity" means not holding anybody accountable for the things they say. They're fine with what Jon said because they're personally comfortable with what he said, they outright say that he...

You can replace "gay character" with "straight character" and make the exact same point. Stories about people being ostracised for having "different values" are everywhere though, look at most Disney films. I have only ever played a handful of games explicitly about the struggles of LGBT...

Uhh no, I am explaining why the lack of diversity can harm an experience even if it's "intentional". The reason people want diversity in their characters is the same reason why people want diversity when it comes to level design and gameplay. It just makes things more interesting, more dynamic...

Exactly, what's not political about that? Its design philosophy is presumably to strive for authenticity, though the lack of female combatants is a small component of this it's nevertheless part of this design philosophy. Warfare is an extremely political thing, depictions of warfare seek to...

What do you mean "not trying to make it about diversity"? It doesn't matter what the intention was, the end result is that the characters are either diverse or they are not. Forget about gender, sexuality, race etc. for a moment. Imagine if all the Transformers were Volkswagen Beetles. Imagine...

Sure, "avoiding" suggests that you're doing it dishonestly/cynically and "not wanting" suggests that, for a justified reason or not, you're being honest about it.

Well by avoiding diversity you're going to be primarily focusing on characters of a certain demographic. If the story calls for it that's one thing, if it doesn't then it'll raise questions. Of course you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis, some settings (like a sci-fi one) make a lack...

Avoiding diversity is also a political statement, though not necessarily an explicit one and perhaps not even an intentional one. Depends what you mean by painting "diversity" in a negative light. If you mean opting to focus on characters from a certain demographic (men, women, Africans...

24. Feels bad because I still feel like I'm 15 waiting for "stuff" to happen. Yeah I know you don't wait for things to happen, you have to go out and do it. But it's been almost a decade of seeking mental health treatment and I've only just made progress.

Oh here we go. Do you even know what a mental disorder is? Pay attention to the part I highlighted. Bullshit, you are not the authority when it comes to science and the insistence that some things are beyond the bounds of science is ridiculous. The social sciences include things like...

And that's what all these people have in common. Sargon, Jontron, Thunderf00t etc. their arguments evaporate upon exposure to the outside world because their arguments rely heavily on a lack of skepticism and of a very selective interpretation of reality. They're bad at debating because debating...

Birdemic is a masterpiece how dare you.

I'm not accusing you of being reactionary, I'm accusing Jon. The thing is, he takes the higher crime stats of blacks as an indication that they're a threat instead of as something that needs addressing (because if he did he'd be focusing instead on the root causes instead of repeatedly saying...

And men commit more crimes than women. See anyone can just throw out statistics to back up their political views, the key is figuring out why the statistics are the way they are. When you throw out these claims without any analysis it just makes you look reactionary and it makes you look like...

Jesus Christ, the fact that a film got shitty reviews is somehow indication of a global feminist conspiracy? Checked the RottenTomatoes page, 94% of users liked it. It's almost as if it exists solely to promote the Redpiller circlejerk. By the way Redpillers, the film you adopted your...
