Their entire issue seems to be that GG is a white studio using tribes and face paint in their game, as if non-white people has an exclusive use of tribes and face paint historically and contextually. There are people in that thread saying European people used face paint as well, but that point seems to be conveniently ignored. Also, Aloy being a white woman is a problem now after spending the past 5 years praising her character and her female representation in gaming.
It is never enough for those people. They can always find something "problematic" they can whine about, even after bending over backwards to please them. The studio being filled with white people seems to supersede everything else for them.
It's almost like ERA have a problem with a certain group people in general that shares a certain skin color. How do you generally refer to people like that, I wonder
I'm sure it's a word starting with the letter "r"
This is the entire point. To construct something is to open it up to criticism, therefore you can never be for something (except ending capitalism and colonialism) you can only be against it.
Writing only what you know: doesn't have enough skin color or sexual preference diversity.
Writing in an inclusive manner: cultural appropriation, some things belong to certain groups of people and it's not FOR YOU.
Writing with strict quotas: doesn't make up for past and present discrimination.
Not writing at all: only can be done because of your privilege, some people don't have the ability to not write, use yours to uplift them.
An endlessly cynical process in which everything is flawed and an existential problem of the now and life is purely despair about how it fails to meet impossible standards.
Then you wonder why you're depressed and have anxiety about everything. (Hint: the fundamentals of capitalism obviously, certainly nothing you do.)
