Me when series where characters always looked like average people look like average people.
I don’t get how DEI has anything to do with how SH2 will be garbage. Like reasons 2 and 3 are correct but how tf will DEI water down Silent Hill for a modern audience (i.e. the ones with no standards)?
Imagine your dev team is all 20-30yr white guys. You have no idea what real diversity is beyond girl, brown/black.
It’s just another group of people with a fresh perspective
Edit-meant for poster below me
Reason #1 is correct too IMO (fuck Konami).
As for DEI, it should always be a good thing… but then, NGL, having “consulting companies” for it rather than having it organically probably means it won’t have that good an implementation of DEI to begin with IMO. Not that I care about the Sweet Baby Inc. nonsense, but it leaves a artificial taste in my mouth akin to pinkwashing, “girlboss” culture, and most of the NGO industry.

This is my biggest problem with SweetBabyInc and other such companies, their brand of DEI is just pinkwashed corporate slop. No amount of representation can fix a fundamentally flawed piece of media (looking at you Velma, late stage gaming).
Agreed, also not all representation is good representation- looking at you Mindy Kaling/“Velma” 🤮 … a textbook example of the white male-worshipping Asian woman who hates Asian men. (as an Asian woman myself it’s seriously fucked)

Why race fetishizing must be stopped.
IT’S A HORROR GAME YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO JACK OFF TO IT. On a second though i’m pretty sure some of them actually do it.
I don’t understand what the problem in these images is. One looks to have a more defined face with lighter brows/eyelashes. Also, isn’t the character shown here Angela? I looked up Maria and she’s a completely different woman…
Okay, so I wanted to make a comment saying that a shit ton, if not the majority of g*mers (in the triple-A industry) are anti-woke racist fuckers, but I’m not sure how true that sentiment is.
The reason why I wanted to say that is because the overall narrative that I see among “woke”, sweet baby topics is dominated by these kinds of people. And the other side is represented, maybe, only among the developers and a small portion of not braindead gamers, who don’t play only Sony AAA exclusives.
But I hesitated because sales numbers don’t usually lie. Those scary “woke” games still made a shit ton of money, so I could probably just be exaggerating the number of people who actually care about this.
What do you think?
Gamergate vids on youtube def had a stranglehold on alot of people back in the day (teenage me included) so I’m confident a significant amount of gamers still feel this way. The games still sell because they still buy them, the “wokeness” just gives them an excuse to be edgy and complain.
Noticed how they say “go woke go broke” but also corporations only do it for the money

If you hate yourself… Type into YouTube “red dead 2 suffragette”
Dude, what the fuck. Why does it have millions of views and tens (or rather hundreds) of thousands of likes? The comments are repulsive too, I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT.
Now there’s no reason to not hate capital G gamers. If someone is outright proud to be one, my first instinct is to think they’re a mouth foaming reactionary.
But I like shooting the racist eugenicist in Saint Denis, and coming up with increasingly goofy ways to kill everyone at the Klan meeting out in the woods when I play red dead : (
I assume in the past few decades Konami employees have figured out what Americans actually looked like.
2D arts with a 3D models of the same character very often have wide differences
Are the “woke dei gamergater” types a smokescreen to distract from the fact that the SH2 remake will be bad???
🤓 um ACKTUALLY Angela was based on Sandra Bullock and by not having her as a 19 year old super model in the remake is [swirlie] garbagagagrgrgrgr
