So a bit of context, I’ve been having s video from Diesel Patches and a bunch of what I calle.“Reactionary Commentary Channels” talking about diversity once again. But this time, they tried to convey their Bigotry through “commentating” on a Dove commercial where they have different women of different ability and ethnicity be shown in the Unreal Engine to do the usual Rainbow Capitalist commercial.

Unfortunately, Diesel don’t talk about how Rainbow Capitalism sucks but just said that wanting diversity in a game having someone looking like you is selfish and pointless as games are an escapism (Which is Sad). And I’ve been wanting to make maybe one of those Reddit videos of people talking about their experiences.

So this one is basically: When did you see yourself in a game? What was it that made you relate to the character and would you prefer games to show your identity more and how?

    I don’t think I’ve ever related to any character I’ve played as. Which is interesting to me now that I think that I’ve played video games since I was young. I don’t recall if I’ve ever related to any character in any video game for that matter. Sure I’ve been able to related to certain characters in books and manga, but never a video game. I suppose it goes hand in hand when most video games are power fantasies or puzzles.

    Oh, nevermind, I’ve related to Ruka from Steins Gate which is a video game sorta (though I’d consider it more of a novel in the visual sense)
