They are offended by everything. Can't see any product without counting how many diverse people there are.
How can one live their life like that? I would go nuts if I were triggered by every little thing on a daily basis.

Well they do believe their opinion actually matters and have managed to drive off anyone with a dose of sanity, either by bans or users just no longer visiting.
All that is left in the remnants is self-important assholes, trolls and the little who still try to reasonably argue a point.

Poor guy gets banned for 1 month for suggesting that you don't need a female protagonist in an Assassin's Creed game.
(post #4 in this woke thread)
Assassin's Creed and female representation
Let me get this out of the way to head off the expected rebuttals: Ubisoft's willingness to put men of colour front and centre in their AAA mainline games is awesome (especially given the first game came out in 2007 when gaming was much less diverse than it is now) and I will never deny how...www.resetera.com
The OP there makes a massive error straight off the bat.
Ubisoft can’t force me to play their games.
This idea that you can’t opt-out if they make one lead character and make them female is nonsense.
I can just decide to not buy the game.
So from Ubisoft’s perspective this is now a simple equation.
If the number of people who will not buy the game because of certain choices is greater than the number of new players they will bring in then it’s not a good choice.
In addition, it’s possible to acknowledge that there is no reason at all why a developer shouldn’t make a game with a female lead while also feeling that a male lead is a better choice.
In Odyssey, for example, you have the protagonist taking part in these head to head battles against multiple trained soldiers so, even though the game is a kind of historical fantasy, I feel like a male lead is more “honest”. Horizon got away with it because Aloy is mostly going up against weird sci-fi robots and when she does fight she is using ranged weapons and traps. If you want to do a female protagonist in Assassin’s Creed then for me it should be a pure stealth game.
Nathan Drake is just a more believable Lara Croft.
I dunno. It’s just humorous to me the idea that they can force players to play as female protagonists and this is a great thing. As if we can’t just decide not to buy the game.
I bought the previous 2 Wolfenstein games before Youngblood and I didn’t buy the new one because the protagonists seemed god-awful and annoying.
So it’s not like they scored some points for feminism because I was forced to play as a chick. I just didn’t buy the game and played other things instead.
If the new AC is going to be set during the Viking invasions of Britain and if they want to have a good story then, for me, a male lead character makes most sense.
Especially if it’s going to be all about swinging heavy ass axes and swords around. For pure stealth a female led game could be awesome.
The OP there talks as though Ubisoft have some kind of obligation to write a female-only game.
The truth is that there really is no need to have a female lead since the game is obviously going to be a game about fighting strong dudes with axes and swords and shit. Assuming they want to have at least some kind of historical accuracy.
At the end of the day it’s fine by me if Ubisoft wants to make games tailored specifically for, and made to pander to, people like this. I just wouldn’t buy them.
So, that’s how I’d “opt-out”.
I'm sure a post like this would get me a ban over there anyway so there would be no point in the "debate".

they are really upset people are discussing these allegations. sounds like Dischord might be a safe space where they can trash Tara.
really leaning in on "the real victims are people voting Biden".
seemingly they are saving what they really want to say for the Dischord. if someone can get on that and get screencaps im sure some interesting stuff would be said.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
After the Battlefield V debacle there's no way ree is going to let anyone use historical accuracy as an argument against female protags.
Haha.
They are so dumb. Just look at the release trailer for AC Valhalla. Main protagonist is fighting head to head against some massive dude on a medieval battlefield. "This should be a female protagonist" is the first reaction? Hilarious.
I get it. AC has fantastical elements. So you can't say it's 100% historically accurate. You can still ask for a sense of realism to some extent, in my opinion.
I mean, why are they choosing a specific period in actual history if not to add some sense of realism?
I do not get this idea that if I play as a woman in a videogame then I somehow "understand different perspectives".
Like, wouldn't a better way to understand women just be um... get to know some actual women?
Suppose you'd need to leave mummy's basement for that.
It occurs to me that we might have a generation of dudes who think because they played Horizon and Tomb Raider that they "understand women".
Then again, we already have a whole gang of males over there who seem to think the best way to "get" women's issues is to simply start identifying as one.

I was more thinking about the fact that they are already complaining that there is no female hero in AC:V. They have to change it a little. There isn’t enough picture of the female hero. The female hero isn’t present enough in the marketing...
im sure they can find something to complain about.

used to be all you would see on ERA is "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA" now they won't even entertain the thought the Biden rape allegations are Russian or GOP interference? It's so boring, you either get in line with "believe all women, period" or get banned. Something like this is political shit-flinging 101, it's worth a discussion.

There are two possibilities. He follows them because he believes their views, or he follows them because he is addicted to outrage and the feeling of superiority he gets from being outraged by evil. Neither is healthy.
Just to acknowledge my own hypocrisy, following this thread is a bit like the latter. Hey, no one is perfect.

ERA, do you have a well manicured lawn? Can I convince you to replace it with something more productive, and eco-friendly?

The lawn thing is weird. Grass is still a plant. A lawn is still sequestering carbon. It is still cleaning the air and providing a home for beneficial insects and microorganisms. It also protects the soil from erosion. That last issue plays a big role in city planning/mgmt since they could be preventing thousands of pounds of soil runoff every year in their city by keeping up the lawns.ERA, do you have a well manicured lawn?

Could someone use that same square footage for superior plants? Sure, but I'd challenge them to find an easier one than good ol' grass. People could plant a garden in that same area but that takes knowledge and management. Plus, the constant tilling of the average garden (no-till is the way) puts more nitrogen and co2 into the atmosphere. You could plant a tree but there are limits, plus the long-term risk it poses to any nearby structures. Grass is pretty easy to care for and if you either bag+compost the clippings or mulch them back into the lawn, you are quietly improving the earth by sequestering carbon and improving your soil health.
Seems like a no-brainer for a group that claims to care about the environment.
Also grasslands are a "more reliable" carbon sink compared to forests in modern California. Who knew?
Grasslands more reliable carbon sink than trees
Forests have long served as a critical carbon sink, consuming about a quarter of the carbon dioxide pollution produced by humans worldwide. But decades of fire suppression, warming temperatures and drought have increased wildfire risks—turning California's forests from carbon sinks to carbon...
