According to Activision/Blizzards "diversity tool" Nintendo isn't diverse enough.

As if Activision/blizzard hasn't become a shitty woke enough company already they now created a "diversity tool" to gauge how diverse games are. Evidently they deemed Nintendo doesn't have enough handicapped characters and too many are assumed straight.

Of course this is from the company who thought in world of warcraft paintings of women in castles was too sexist so they replaced them with paintings of fruit and took a female gnome character Cromie and decided she needed to be gay or bi or something for absolutely no reason at all.

Looks like their new tool will really raise their woke based ESG scores.

Blizzard turned to complete shit after they merged with Activision and have steadily only gotten worse.

Cool story - who cares? "Tools" like that are just silly gimmicks to make money and not a replacement for human creativity.

Also, whining about a game replacing some insignificant pictures with fruit paintings is just about as silly and childish as the "woke" whining that you're talking about.

The reason most protagonists in these kinds of video games are straight, white males is because most of the people who play them are as well.

It isn’t racist, homophobic or sexist.

It isn’t racist, homophobic or sexist.

It's not even that - it's that people who identify as homosexual are only about 3% of the population, and people who identify as trans are less than 1% of the population.

So any attempt at astroturfing their relevance or thinking that 50% of characters in TV, films, video games, etc should be gay or trans simply isn't a viable strategy.

Though there are people who'll wine anytime a "minority" character (e.x. a black person) appears in an entertainment medium even if the inclusion is perfectly valid. I just consider them to be another variant of the "woke-ists" they so despise.
