Since its been such a recently strong topic of debate what are the times when things like DEl and diversity actually a good thing?
>>
People who whine about DEI are the bronies of the current age.
Shut the fuck up you one note bitch.

there is literally nothing wrong with the type of people that DEI is trying to support. the problem is specifically DEI itself because it makes it about race, gender, sexuality, orientation, skin color, what the fuck ever and turns it into a checklist and an obligation. not something based on actual merit.

there is also specific bias that the lack of DEI also has. like anything. this is unavoidable because there are negatives in both directions. DEI solves a problem created by inherent biases but it creates more than it solves

When you want your game and studio both to bomb so you can write off all the invested money you've been skimming the top off as a loss and then sell the studio for a pittance and then start again. That's when they are a good thing.

DEl is by definition bad. if you are conflating dei with a brown person then there's nothing wrong with writing a story that takes place outside of europe so long as it is done organically, which prior to millennials taking over the writing jobs had mostly been the case.

when they show off the cool parts of other cultures

but they never do that, they make characters that are literal preachy queers and ruin franchises
>>
>>724854486
DEI was never good.

Just focus on making good characters that have various kinds of traits other than just race and sexuality.

Diversity has always been good. It's just Feminism, Wokeness, SJWism, Political Correctness, that people hate.
>>
>>724856815
Diversity is destructive to civic cohesion.

You'd have to be brown, a little retarded, without a ballsack and still somehow care about games to appreciate it

>>724854486
it can't be a good thing because DEI and diversity (as its known knowadays) are inherently a bad thing.
It simply can't exist a game that was improved by the existence of these factors. Because videogames are about gameplay, and these factors are non-gameplay related.

Your thread is dumb, you're dumb yourself.

You didn't link the actual paper, and the author of said paper says that historically negative effectives of diversity are usually smoothed out leaving only the benefits
you should read the things you link before you use them to dunk on people

>>724856952
Diversity of racial heritage has nothing to do with anything. It's all in the difference of religion and culture. Islamic zealots doesn't congeal with a largely sectarian post-christian white society who have long since moved on from religion playing any serious role in the infrastructure of their society.

This is the kind of feminism I can get behind. Or pick up and put on a higher surface.

These things will only be "good" if you are a religious initiate.
Do you think the forced imposition of Protestant values in video games is a good thing? If you are a more fundamentalist Christian, you will probably think it is good, and moreover, necessary for a better society.
It's the same for liberals who are members of this secular religion of wokeism. They think it is good, they think it is necessary for a more just society. That's it. It's simple.
The rest of the population reacts as they would to religious fundamentalism being shoved down their throats in entertainment products, but liberals cannot understand this parallel (and why they are on the "wrong" side) because they have fallen for the scam that the religious doctrine they follow in a fundamentalist way is actually scientific and rational.

>not troons

Noticing is nowhere in the ballpark of pony territory. Your troon ass being a brony who thinks they have outgrown the franchise tracks.

>>724854486
For video games specificaly , never.
The whole point of DEI is for investing into companies that value tgese metrics which would result in sustained progress in the future and not necessarilly offer big profits up front. But the checks and balances were completely off and we ended up having AAA games budgeting around DEI funds.

It can be done, I'm actually worried the current backlash will throw things the other way and we'll get nothing but pissed off white bald guys again.
I like diversity when it's done well, but checking boxes and "we have everyone but white men also they're ugly" are FUCKING GARBAGE ways of going about it.

DEI sucks because the people consuming the media already live in a DEI life. Every major city in the West is a sea of Indians and Asians and Niggers, every government is forcing fag shit into every nook and cranny of peoples' lives, every police force is afraid to confront militant Islam, every advertisement is a Jewish fetish thrust in your face. You can go to LA or Toronto or London or Paris or Milan or Frankfurt or Barcelona and it's all the fucking same. Having this homogenized deracinated shit forced into make-believe media is the opposite of escapism.

No one, not a single gamer or movie watcher or whatever, says "oh this would be so much better with more blacks and gays."
