Verge Magazine: FF16 has a medieval approach to diversity

I saw a thread about this on the purple site and realised that 99% of the people unhappy or outraged by these type of things aren't even from a minority group that they are outraged for.

As a person of colour myself, I can't understand why are they upset for me whereas not only I couldn't care less but it doesn't even cross my mind until they make a big deal about it.

Imagine how dry of a life you must have in order to cry about shit like this.
Im so tired of this forced diversity bullshit, and thats coming from an arab.

Sign me up for the "I don't care" group.

60 pages incoming.

Stop giving these people attention. You guys validate them every time.

Oh. Here we go again! Final Fantasy expected to be representative of the 2023 earth population. Like the Census!

Of course they're unhappy.

It's teenagers who's brains have yet to fully develop and the mentally disturbed. Those are the two groups we are dealing with. I think the strongest thing we can do now is try to ignore them. Meaning no clicks, no fights. Just continue to speak with our wallets, because it does seem to be that the rest of the world is catching up to those of us who can see how divisive and common this behavior has become. I've never really been one to spout "go woke, go broke", but it actually seems to be coming true.

I'm happy Square made a game that want to make rather than forcing diversity

Oh dear as if the game quality depended on this bullshit. Developers have the right to do whatever they want for their game.
