>current game developers claim to stand for ideals of tolerance, representation and equality>they also refuse to cast native americans in roles as videogame protagonists or side charactersGo figure.
>>743853031Their hair isn’t nappy enough for them to be used as a cudgel against white people.
>>743853031I think we had those in Assassin's Creed 3, Prey and Infamous Second Son.
>>743853031You can't use native americans in media anymore because it gives californians an excuse to dogpile and soapbox for the next century, and that's even if you pay out the ass to get approved "consultation" from Sweet Baby
>>743853031I'd buy a game day 1 if the native MC looked like that.
literally didn't become americans until the 1920s
>>743853031Native Americans don't exist any more than saying "game features Eurasians," and liking one tribe to another is like saying the Israeli and Palestinians, or Chinese and Japanese were once peaceful coexisting people until the white man came to shit in their beds.Diversity and inclusion quickly falls apart when you realize how diverse and inclusive the world has always been. I'm not talking politics, just biology. Even if you were to force bumblefuck groups like Eskimos or Philippinos, you could further subdivide by local regions and historical groups, which would boil down and reveal no one gives a shit except for whatever the flavor of the month victim/oppressor groups are for an individual country. People always say Africans hate other Africans, but can never even name the groups of either because no one cares across the Atlantic.Ethnicity is an arbitrary and inherently racist line to draw into what makes a person. Cross-culturally people are more effectively grouped by personality and, to a degree, body type, rather than their melatonin content; you're better off classifying people by their height. Even culture is effected by personality, with everyone having zealots, traditionalists and counterculturals based on, yes, personality. Technically, we try to group by temperament with political left-right-ness, but it doesn't cover the full strata of mental makeup. It's a start but won't get anywhere soon because the topical ideals of the groups keep swapping every few decades for economic or tinfoil hat reasons.I'm sure a dev would love to have tranny street cred by having an American Indian in their jerk off project, but it's too volatile a subject given the data we have that most "oppressed" tribes were themselves oppressors who raped and killed off other tribes for their land. It's better to keep it hush-hush and ride the victim narrative pushed by your oppressors who opted not to completely genocide off your people, and live on taxpayer money.
BRING HER BACK!
>>743854470You're right but games are for escapism, therefore you aren't beholden to include the baggage and controversy real world dynamics and politics bring.

>>743853031The Irish were their own oppressed group in America for a good while, and to the same degree of viciousness, but it's not cool yet to say "I have a lot of Irish friends."
>>743854536Just say she was based on a real women who identified as a man
This game is pure insanity. It's supposed to be set in 30's, and yet I went from shivving hobos to fighting xenomorphs at Area 51. It's like the story was written by an actual pre-teen. However the lead girl is insanely hot.
