I read the fucking document, and…I have some thoughts:
!)It seems that the only content they consider acceptable are games with whites-only, heteronormative populaces delivering a social message that could have come from Hoggish Greedly and Dr. Blight.
2)I am…disconcerted that they find FF6 acceptable, mostly because it means they played it and I hate that these assholes even touched my favorite game. But also, did they miss the part about one of the characters being biracial? It's kind of a plot point.
3) They claimed that the people of Columbia, in Bioshock Infinite, were an exaggerated racist caricature. No, no they weren't, people really were that fucking bad back then. If anything, Columbia whitewashes the racism of the time. The lynching scene would have absolutely featured more than a few choice slurs in the real world. But ghettos, company towns, denying medical care, declaring the Irish as barbaric savages, these all have historical roots.
4) Alex Jones has a game? What the holy fuck?
5) They seem to like harping on about historical accuracy in games, or lack thereof, but pick Assassin's Creed Odyssey - a game wherein you can fight cyclopes, medusae and the Minotaur - and Civ 6, a game where Sir Wilfred Laurier can engage in an air war with Eleanor of Aquitane. When it comes to video games, accuracy is nice, but too much of it gets you Kingdom Come: Deliverence, a game that seems good on paper, until you waste three real days trying to do anything without getting your ass deadified because the devs decided to focus less on ‘fun’ and more on ‘verisimilitude.’
6) Good galloping fuck, these people are exhausting.
7) I am offended - OFFENDED, I tells ya - that none of the games I've worked on are listed. I guess having an open lesbian as a PC and her wife as one of the Big Bads just isn't enough. I guess I'll just have to make that Torchsong Trilogy FPS I've had kicking around my head for a while now, if I want to get any attention around here.
8) Back on track, they mention that one of the NPCs in Mafia 3 is a lesbian, but they gloss over the fact that she still suffers for it. Her life isn't fucking glamorous, and her own father pretty much disowns her over it. Which all flies in the face of a 'pro-LGBT’ message.
