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.

      Virtue signalling by trying to over compensate diversity in such a way that it comes off as contrived.

      Like when the Oscars felt too white so the next year they handed all the awards to black people

        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?
