Remember long ago when games were simply just games? There was no agenda shoved into it. Nowadays you get the ideologies of the gender confused creators. Simpler times indeed..
Nowadays you cant play a game without having sex constantly brought up! Its genuinely baffling.
Lets take a look at Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed controversy.
A big black dude, sodomizing a tiny feminine Asian man. I mean WOW! That’s an image that will haunt you. I know people will say, “its optional” or “you can bang women too”! My point is, is it really necessary to have this in a game? Does it do anything to move the story forward? The answer, in my view, is a firm no. It feels more like a bizarre fetish shoehorned in under the banner of “inclusivity”—perhaps to appease a niche audience or cater to influencers with odd tastes.
It is simply a weird fetish by some of its more prominent creators under the guise of inclusivity. They may even be trying to cater to some of their weirder influencers. Here’s looking at you Sid from Ice Age! Or, seemingly happily married man that brings his impressionable young son to multiple gay pride parades. Someone check that guys hard drive, yikes! When did everything become about sex?
The last of us 2 had a prominent lesbian storyline and guess what, it was for the story. It actually fit and moved it on and deepened the characters substantially. I have zero problems with that. I am just perplexed about why this stuff is forced into our games constantly. More often than not, it does nothing to move a storyline forward. It’s hard not to wonder if this is less about storytelling and more about checking boxes or indulging the quirks of a few developers. Forced diversity in games is not helping anyone. Rather as over the last year, has harmed and shut down studios.
Too often, it’s as if developers are hitting a diversity quota or prioritizing personal agendas over game quality. Cue Shadows baffling 2 hours of credits.
Do you miss how games used to be? I certainly do. Gaming nostalgia is very strong today.
So here we are, stuck with games that shove sex and weird woke crap down our throats instead of just letting us swing a sword or shoot some bad guys. Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed is a damn poster child for this nonsense—pandering to freaky fetishes while pretending it’s “progress.” I’m over it. Give me back the days when games didn’t need a gender studies degree to enjoy, when developers cared about fun, not preaching. You miss it too, right? Because I sure as hell do, and this constant agenda-driven garbage is sucking the soul outta something that used to be pure.
I miss delta squad.
