According to a poll, over 95% of the players think forced inclusivity in gaming isn't an important thing and ruins the overall game.

I was like wow, since when gamers become so based?

Until I read that:

Inclusivity is an unfortunate trend that has picked up in the industry over the past few years. While having characters of different origins isn’t anything bad, forcing a narrative is. Most fans share the opinion, as 95% of gamers voted they don’t care about inclusivity in gaming in a recent poll.

Over 95% of gamers vote against inclusivity in a new poll on NeoGAF

And I was like

LMFAO, I gotta say, not only did I find this amusing, I found this commendable. This is real journalism, and this is a win for Gaffers, as the writer knows to cite the most credible source for the data.

Abdullah Waseem, if you post here, please show yourself, I'm sure there will be gold.

To ResetEra, it is the most important thing in gaming, above and beyond being a good game.

been there... they pretend to care. Lots of people feigning interest in the deadshot daughter dlc, 95% of them who said they'll check it out at some point will not touch that heap of garbage

Well if you don't think it is, you will be accused of "dismissing the issue" and be banned for weeks.
This happenned to me..... 4 years ago. I can't imagine what it's like now.

Alright, which one of you is the ‘WelcomeTarnished’ guy who just commented on the article?

 

[Doggyred]

Does anyone know demographics of this site? People assume that it's usually straight white males that are opposed to all the DEI shit games but I usually find that minorities have as much distain for it as everyone else.

Sometimes I miss the thread that was basically a freak show from the 1920s where we all looked on in awe of their astoundingly insane and hypocritical mindset.

It's a case study of human behaviour and what happens when bitter and hateful people read the quote about inclusivity having to exclude and use it as justification for just about everything in the eternal power trip.

 

[TheKratos]

The other 5% is just bullshitting to be part of a small group.

 

[DinoD]

I voted No ! Don't care about the inclusivity as long as main protagonists are masculine males and hot looking birds armed to their teeth

 

[HL3.exe]

The definition of jiffing your own fart.

Article gets posted on gaf based on opinions from gaf. The echo chamber is complete.

I think EviLore had a thread before showing age and gender distribution of the forum users, not remembering whether it had race or not.

But yeah, speaking for myself, Asian guy, I despise DEI as those programs are often disingenuous and ineffective.

 

[duck_sauce]

It was a dumb poll in the first place and now it is a dumb thread about an ever dumber "news" article.

Congrats Gaf

By proxy of knowing english to be able to use gaf, u got high probability to be white(even USA who is supposed to have high population of black ppl, thats barely 13% in 2022, other western countries are below that and not by lil.
Wiki says 93% of men are straight in the west, so even with just those 2 simple infos u can tell at least 90% of gaf is male, white and straight, and since we are hardcore gamer's forum, that %age is likely even higher(since hardcore gamer is extremly uncommon to be female).

That duck sauce must be really bitter.

 

[yazenov]

The poll checks out. Real gamers don't give a fuck about DEI. We want good games, minus the identity politics . Keep that shit out of our games.

It was age, nationality, and gender stats:

Staff - What do you think NeoGAF's demographics are? [Results!]

Hi everyone. Seeing as most of us are anonymous, it can be hard to feel out the composition of your fellow NeoGAF users. And ultimately it's about the content of your character and validity of your arguments, your love of the hobby and contributions to the medium, and how you treat others in...

Make sure to tweet the article and this forum to make it viral

[StueyDuck]

It's a fun chuckle , but it's also the same as any other "sourced" poll or questionnaire or whatever that any other Journos use.

I'll tell you what though, that poll will definitely more accurately represent the real numbers. Just look at the recent Capcom survey.

Interesting how RT reflections appear to be substantially higher quality than the usual RE Engine RT reflections I’ve seen in other games on any platform/settings.
Looks like Capcom finally felt compelled to bother upgrading their implementation?
In GIF format it’s almost entirely lost, and it was such an insanely low-res picture to begin with, but trees in the second comparison appear to be reflected with their entire detail preserved, a far cry from your usual RE RT water reflections.

Next day:

These losers everytime GAF is the source:

Gonna watermark comparisons with our logo next time, see what happens.

Honestly, this level of pathetic censorship often comes from those insecure totalitarian regimes, but I guess Reee fits this category pretty good.

[Nankatsu]

So has REEE done the same pool already, in order to try and balance the tables?

 

[winjer]

Truth be told, Reee dislikes diversity much more than gaf. They only care about superficial things like skin colour and gender.
But then they have no tolerance for any ideals, politics or science, that does not conform to their strict views. It's like they have a little Stalin inside their heads.

I assume the bolded is a joke, or is this a serious comment calling an article 'real journalism' because it identifies NeoGaf and pretty much jerks it off, while others do a circlejerk congratulating themselves.

I chuck it in the bin with the rest of the 'real journalists' who scrub through Twitter/X looking for opinions to write articles on and call it a 'consensus', or scrub through Reddit mining for content.

The laziest of the fucking lazy really. I was even hoping Twitter would die just so we didn't have those 'journalists' not being able to do those articles anymore, they'd still find ways not to do any real journalistic work, but it'd at least cut off a vital resource for them.

Though, looking through this article, it seems to hit a sweet spot I've seen people bringing up here, so I can see that the bait is some good Gaf bait.
