The Mario series isn't diverse enough, according to Activision Blizzard's new tool

Following Activision Blizzard's reveal of its Diversity Space Tool, a video of a GDC 2017 presentation has resurfaced o…

www.eurogamer.net

Apparently the game lacks diversity in ability and sexual orientation, as the characters aren't disabled and are all presumed straight. How you can tell someone's sexual orientation just by looking at them is beyond me.

Truly shocking stuff.

Blizzard is adding so much to gaming right now.

What other series can this invaluable tool help us understand better?

That's like saying Gordon Ramsay's cooking fails miserably by Jeffrey Dahmer's standards.

 

[Faithless83]

Japanese devs will fail and hopefully forever fail this nonsense.

 

[Haggard]

I suddenly like Nintendo much more.

 

[Jonnie_Darko]

A Japanese company analyzed by an American company. Indeed, shocking stuff.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Nintendo is for children. Forcing sexuality shit onto kids is mad weird bro.

 

[Craig of War]

 

[Aranea]

Well Nintendo just wants to create videos games. It's a video game company at the end of the day. This is something i like about Japanese devs as they don't care about this whole nonsense.

Western gaming culture logic: their way is the only way and everyone else is wrong.

 

[brian0057]

Same energy.

By the way, the list is full of absolute bangers.

Tell that to Disney!

 

[Meesh]

So.... this is a win, right?

 

[lem0n]

>diversity tool

As a pretty fucking liberal dude, I gotta say... the blue haired landwhales need to be stopped

 

[Lethal01]

Nintendo is for children. Forcing sexuality shit onto kids is mad weird bro.

Samus is not a kid

 

[ManaByte]

Nintendo stays winning.

 

[Halo is Back]

And yet thier games are superior. Not like Blizzard has any moral high ground to stand on anyway.

 

[Hellmaker]

I mean even IF you decide to go the "diversity" route and cram in everything you can think of, WHY would you need this tool in the first place???

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Who gives a shit?

 

[azertydu91]

That's like saying Gordon Ramsay's cooking fails miserably by Jeffrey Dahmer's standards.

I don't know he is good a chopping meat...

 

[Bernd Lauert]

America needs to just stop lmao

 

[IDKFA]

Stop the world. I want to get off!

 

[stickkidsam]

Halo is already being "corrected" if Paramount+ is anything to go by.

 

[Hellmaker]

Halo is already being "corrected" if Paramount+ is anything to go by.

Is it that bad?

 

[FoundryMusic]

 

[adamsapple]

Is it that bad?

Master Chief fucks in it.

So, not for him.

 

[levyjl1988]

Having a variety of different races is like collecting cards. You can't be racist unless you have a rainbow set of friends. Like what Randy Marsh did and have an Instagram pic with a black dude to show that you aren't racists lol.

 

[CosmicComet]

Based Nintendo.

 

[Fake]

Nintendo win.

 

[Codes 208]

Master Chief fucks in it.

So, not for him.

That's not Master Chief, it's Master Cheeks

Blizzard is just jealous.

[alabtrosMyster]

This tells you all you need to know about the tool... It will do many things, but it's not about to help make better games.

 

[Captain Toad]

Good for Nintendo.

 

[The_Mike]

OP why can't I select "NONE" in your poll?

No game, movie or anything in this world benefit with this woke shit.

A Japanese company analyzed by an American company. Indeed, shocking stuff.

I bet your socks would fly off by the result if they made it on Sony.

Hint the result will not be in favor of Japanese culture.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Nintendo is more diverse than any other company

they even have fish people

 

[Kacho]

Yes, I'm sure they fail hard by California's standards.

What makes this so funny is how revered Nintendo is with the REE crowd. LOL

 

[Fbh]

Aha! This must be why these Mario games sell so poorly

 

[ManaByte]

What makes this so funny is how revered Nintendo is with the REE crowd. LOL

That crowd still believes Maria Mint was fired due to Gamergate harassment and not for being a hooker.

Western SJW BS you mean

 

[CrustyBritches]

Fuck off, Blizzard.

 

[Maestr0]

When was the last time that Blizzard didn't put a game into the trashbag ?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Aside from old geezer Captain Price who might squeak out 3 pts on the age metric, all of Activision's COD game characters should be getting 0 pts on their sliding scale of diversity promotion puffery.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Oh, I misunderstood the thing. Blizzard doesn't have many IPs, and most of the characters are furries or aliens

 

[Airbus Jr]

Hey diversity tool

 

[TLZ]

Nintendo is for children. Forcing sexuality shit onto kids is mad weird bro.

 

[ahtlas7]

ahhh, this tools purpose is made known: "shame".

"Nintendo FAILS MISERABLY"

what a load of

 

[PRiSMiWi]

The end is nigh.

 

[Swift_Star]

Not surprising but that tool is still shit.

 

[Dream-Knife]

Splatoon is literally a game of transgendered teens playing with super soakers.
