It's good and healthy to have more representation, I am not white so for me personally when I was growing up having no representation made me feel inferior to most people around me.

I'm happy that my kids will have representation and won't feel like social outcasts because of their skin color, sexuality, etc.

Hollywood, video games, etc impacts culture significantly.


No one will complain when we're dealing with a movie featuring only Africans or Asians in a movie. Why should a movie about white Vikings be any different? Explain why, if I would make such movie, I would somehow be hurting your feelings or make you outcast ty

My feelings wouldn't be hurt, and I wouldn't complain about it.

You're the one here making a thread crying about diversity and representation of minority groups.

You got that wrong sorry, I'm complaining about the remake of a classic game that already oozes diversity but isn't kept original because of 2021 identity politics. I even stated in OP that if this was a new game I wouldn't even bother

No I just don't give a fuck about such a small thing that doesn't affect the way I play the game. Go complain somewhere else Karen.


I personally was super excited on the announce, and then i saw Amazon LOL. Now I really think I don;t want to even touch this game.

Yes you're correct, it's an ARPG, immersion is important, the latest politically correct fashion should be kept out of this classic game IMO
