Is this because BioWare hires purple-haired hippopotamuses who screech about not enough women in gaming instead of actually going to a tech school and becoming a skilled female developer? I personally think so. CD Projekt more or less tell women and brown people to go fuck themselves if they don't have the talent to make a good game

@Ace of Hearts You're thinking of White Supremacy, sweetheart, not Nationalism. Not that it matters when your "argument" (lol) is fallacious and irrelevant either way.

Spot the white nationalist.

But it's not "pandering" if a character just happens to be Black or gay, and if he has more traits to define his personality than just being from a certain demographic. So even though ME1 still has bad writing and is a game for poopooheads overall, no one is being hypocritical for "forgetting" the Black and butch-lesbo characters in the first game, while lambasting Andromeda for seemingly doing the same thing. The fact that you can't see the difference, @Dynamo Frokane, proves that you're approaching this debate at a laughably superficial level.

Actually, you should explain why, apparently, you have to hire women and minorities, even if they lack the necessary skills to function in the company, in order to avoid being a "White Nationalist." (Did screaming "racist!" at people stop working, so we need to think of another default now?)

I gave the textbook definition of meritocracy when I said, "it's [CD Projekt's hiring process] employing the most talented people at hand to make the best product possible." You're the one who equated that to White Nationalism, which I find hilarious because that means you're the one who equates more Whites and more males on a development team with having more merit, independently of a person's ability to code.

Not that this is surprising at all, but you've revealed your personal biases in this thread, a real streak of racism, in your desperate gambit to find an injustice to crusade against, whether real or imagined. You must have realized this too since you're making no attempt at all to actually argue, instead flinging your own feces at me like a rabies-infected capuchin, but that's par for the course with the crazies on either side of the political spectrum. Horseshoe theory is real.

There is incontrovertible evidence that the Andromeda team pandered to certain demographics of people.

Oh yes, because Jack is totally Bioware's acknowledgement of lesbians just as Miranda is their acknowledgement of hetero-normative women. Well I have news for you. Miranda can be just as lesbian and Jack can be just as straight. Bioware didn't have some agenda putting Jacob in to be one of the only black humans in the goddamn game.

man, you're so smart. thanks for correcting me on your brand of fascism.

Fallacious? I got something you can fellate.

What a white supremacist way to think, not to mention misogynistic.

you okay, dude? do you have unresolved oedipal complexes you haven't resolved? you didn't kill her, did you? you don't wear her skin, do you?

edit: I'll leave the redundancy because I know for a fucking fact you'll point it out, you nerd.

<Snipped quote by pugbutter>

listen guy i don't know what to tell you this isn't reddit you're not gonna get any upvotes. your smugness in defending your pissy attitude towards brown people already sealed my "white nationalist" comment, which you deftly corrected to white supremacist.

i mean who cares what you think really, because you're a racist.

so again, fellate me.

I would love to see this evidence in all its incontrovertible-ness.

But Andromeda somehow shoehorned them in to pander. So what is YOUR standard for what is 'happening' to be diverse and what is 'forcing' diversity?

@Dynamo Frokane

Your writing confused me to the point that I didn't know WHAT your stance was anymore actually.

Ad Hominem: You British people seem to have a way of writing that is so careful to not offend anybody that you end up sounding like you fully support both sides of an issue. Whereas with my post, I fully intended to come off sounding like a smarmy cunt towards SJWs.

Open the hider. Pay particular attention to the dates.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

I know you read the post because you quoted directly from the paragraph which explains the difference. Why pretend that you didn't?

And no, I don't draw an arbitrary line between the first three games and Andromeda. BioWare's descent has been slow and gradual, because swallowing the "SJWs buy games so we should cater to them instead of our core audience" meme didn't happen all at once.
