Blogspam, all the quotes are taken from a Guardian.com piece, linked from the article but in a sneaky way.<p>&gt; Or worse, such complaints would fall on actively aggressive ears. Consider Gamergate: The movement began in part as a response to journalists trying to encourage more diversity in the gaming industry — not just by opening the door to more women and minority developers, but also making sure that games reflected the potentially diverse audience playing them. This was widely perceived as such a vitriolic concept to a large group of gamers that they rose up and harassed the journalists and activists pushing for this increase in diversity, which Gamergaters said was an attempt at ruining games with political correctness (which doesn&#x27;t exist).<p>This isn&#x27;t discussion, it is exactly what gamers are at places like &#x2F;r&#x2F;kotakuinaction are complaining about, the rewriting or at least bias editing of history, providing only one side of the story.<p>Edit:<p>&gt;The issue is that many of the same people complaining now would probably be rolling their eyes if a Hispanic man or black woman asked why they aren&#x27;t well represented in Halo, Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher, The Legend of Zelda,...<p>Again, Call of Duty is set in WWII (the earlier games at least), which let&#x27;s face it wasn&#x27;t mostly black women fighting, it was mostly white men fighting against white men, MGS &amp; The Witcher I&#x27;m not familiar with, but Link from the Zelda games isn&#x27;t even human, he&#x27;s some kind of anime elf creature. Probably Japanese.
