    So, what’s the measurement?

    How are we to determine whether they were added for diversity’s sake rather than any other reason?

    Does every non white person in gaming need to be justified? What does that justification look like?

      Does every non white person in gaming need to be justified? What does that justification look like?

      According to CHUDs, yes, because any non-white people existing is an affront to Gaming, and the justification is whether the game came out before the CHUD hit adulthood and the game is old enough to be nostalgic or not. So characters like Barret from FF7, fine, because he’s not “woke”, but a character from a modern game? You’d better believe they’re woke DEI commie propaganda!

      hope that helps!

        I wonder about more ancient chuds 🤔

        I’m old enough to remember in the 90’s complaining about affirmative action, political correctness, and token minorities.

        They’re getting nostalgic for pong or something.

          Ah, no woke DEI bullshit, just two white and PERFECTLY STRAIGHT paddles hitting a nice WHITE ball back and forth. No politics, no political correctness, no cellphones, just two guys living in the moment.
