Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

    the whole game just really forces a lot of fake forced diversity.

    Explain. I’ve played 30 hours and don’t see it.

                Okay… how does the diversity in Starfield or Far Cry 6 feel contrived?

                Why aren’t the characters believable? How does that mean they’re just there for forced diversity, instead of just being badly written? If the character was white, with no other changes, would they still be bad characters that aren’t believable?

            A specific in game example will do. You did play a bit, right? So it should be near the beginning. A YouTube timestamp or something.

            I’m honestly curious about this. All I know about “woke” is when I’m awaken from sleep aka I woke up. I didn’t wake up from cryosleep like I did in Fallout 4.

            If it was actually blatant, you would be able to list a number of ways it was “woke”
