    More video games need intimate relationships between siblings. Don't pretend you have a progressive mindset if you disagree.

      This is just a ragebait repost but what the frick

      I'll make it easier. If you want to have a chance to rhetorically defeat their claims you have to do better. Here's what they'll say
      >Oh in a tiny handful of games you play the least offensive versions of people not like you in some way. Then you go back to th eleventy billion white,, cis, hetero, male protagonist heroes when you feel like it. You have an absolute wealth of them available to you. "We" only have a handful of examples and you complain if we only get one more. Many of them may not even feel identifiable to us, and we don't have the option to slip back through a catalog of hundreds of straight white men and decide if you want a long gray/white haired handsome vampire/monster hunter , a bald space marine, or a brown haired smirking edgelord.
      If you want to beat them, know how they'll reply and address it because otherwise they can just decide you're le queer hater chuderino if you don't have a cogent reply that 3rd parties listening to both of you think a good reasonable answer to their assertions.

        To anyone like this, I say; They get games that include LGBTQ but they crash and burn cause said gays make no money and/or don't play actual video games anyway. We said nothing about the first few instances of them, we left it alone. It took root and resented the rest of the vidya hobby cause we didn't like what they like and fund the SLOP they enjoy while their broke asses don't spend a single cent. Queers can't keep the things that "represent them" afloat anyway but yet this shit keeps spreading like a virus to the point you cannot find a single good normal person game anymore cause for some reason.

        And now we're here. Spiteful queer cultists out here bluntly saying they want to destroy our hobby cause we didn't rally behind their shit games and be converted into their fricking zog cult and prop their utter dogshit slop higher than it ever deserved to be. Frick off from this hobby already. You had your chance and you couldn't even keep the initial wave of things made for (You) freaks afloat yourselves and lashed out when it sunk and blamed us for straight up just not paying attention to it. And that lashing out and further infecting of our hobby is why we now openly profess our hate and disdain for this garbage cause just letting you have your own spot next door didn't work. You came over and screamed at us for not supporting YOUR version of it and now want nothing but our complete destruction for not slurping down the brainrot koolaid. Get out.

          You need to rephrase that or they'll just say
          >Oh see, you have such animosity for queer people that you think they can't be gamers too and are there to "ruin' gaming for you! The narcissism and queerphobia and /misc/ rhetoric zog cultism, you're nothing but the hateful little manchildren that Sarkeesian claimed you to be years ago and you hate queer people as much as you do women!
          Frick man, you've gotta do better than that. I was looking for an actual argument not an imageboard rant - if that's how you act then no wonder people are losing. There are other ways to change the conversation. Talk about stuff like th increasing amount of indie gay games or whatever the frick , reframe the conversation around how they want things to change even in games made for other communities, yet freak out when they think anyone is against games made by and for them. Nobody is coming to Sayonara Wild Hearts and demanding it turn into a hetero dating story etc. Be reasonable so that people listening will think they're the ones making unreasonabl demands.

              No, the argument when dealing with off the rocker
              >There needs to be more LGBT+ representation, beauty standards, everything etc.. .
              is that there's already a place for that. Kinda like when they yell "go make your own games" and we do and they get pissed at Snoot, or Wani, or Kawata Shoujo, or whatever the frick else we need to be mature that when they "make their own games" - including stuff like Boyfriend Dungeon or Sayonara Wild heart etc.. that we say "see, you have those. They can coexist. What's not okay is you demanding that Samus be a transwoman or whatever the frick, or the whole GGStrive nonsense etc. You don't have to soak yourself in that shit constantly but the same way the resetera crowd goes and knows exactly which games have problematic shit, you need to do 'opposition research' too. Many of the game aren't bad either necessarily bad, but frames their arguments - there is just nothing for "them' unless traditional games ugly up Aloy or whatever the frick, - as wrong. Like when someone yells abut no games startting black protags then you say "The Journey Down? Dandara?" and they look like idiots because the argument is now "we want big blockbuster with 400lb transmale hero with mastectomy scars as the GOTY. Change whatever other games until we have that!" and people ee them as nuts.

              They'd find a way to spin it regardless until we cave in. Trying to make them concede doesn't work, they will not concede, they will scream out in a hurricane and say it is sunny and pleasant outside. They will scream against the very truth of reality in favor of their delusions until you side with them. This is how the cult works. Force is the only answer now.

              Its not for them, its for the others listening to them. They on their own can't do anything. They can only get others who don't know that it not raining outside to feel bad for them because in the past they had no umbrellas etc. You aren't trying to get them to recant an say OH I WAS SO WRONG YOUR LOGIC HAS SLAIN ME, you want the devs and publisher watching on social media to go "oh yeah, look there aactuall a lot of these games that sell well for indies and find their audience...clearly we don't need to do what they say, its just from trauma etc..."

                but if other folk feel at peace making games without this stuff, they shouldn't be forced to, because thats creating friction when its not needed in the industry. not everyone making a game has the money to afford spening tuition in an overpriced college for half a decade learning gender theory. there's a lot of players who come from poverty who just want to make a fricking game.

          Or the research team deliberately tainted the survey with loaded questions that either discourage straight kids from answering or give false positives or both, so that they get the results that they want to see and/or were paid to produce by their LGBT advocate financiers. Sociology is a pseudoscience and 70% of sociology research results can't be reproduced, even by other sociologists. Never, ever trust anything a sociologist claims, especially if there is a political or financial benefit for making the claim.

    The actual problem is that the homosexual pandering isn't done by people who represent the majority of homos. Most homos just want some aesthetically pleasing characters and gay romance bait, same as anyone else. The people clamoring for overly obnoxious virtue signaling tokenist characters are primarily Californians who want to show off how progressive they are.
    All you have to do to prove this is look at the games the homos actually go for.

        Even if that's true, they still don't represent anything close to a majority. You see all these games that go for aggressive tokenism and yet the characters that remain the most consistently popular among the "LGBT" crowd are characters that were written to be actual good characters or be generally aesthetically appealing, rather than the ones made specifically to appeal to them. This is because what most homos actually want is, again, the same as the rest of us: fanservice, and tokenism is directly antithetical in its purpose than fanservice.
