Simple, everyday gamer Davin Andersen reportedly wishes video games would stop pushing unneeded political agendas and instead focus on just being fun. He’d also support…
The fact that people are downvoting you for speaking an objective fact is a travesty. Diversity is only as political as the writer chooses to make it, and having characters of different races, genders and orientations without putting in the effort to make them feel three-dimensional will not magically make a badly-written game into a good one.
They’re getting downvoted because their real concerns with game writing is getting tangled together with culture war buzz words.
Game writing isn’t bad because it gets political. It’s bad because the writers aren’t very good. Halo 5 doesn’t really do much in the way of topical political commentary, but it’s not better or worse for it.

Maybe they think I’m doing a dog whistle of some sort.
Maybe they are mad because I didn’t name AAA games which do that, I found it difficult to name examples because I haven’t played any recently.
