Problem?

I don't care about politics in real life. Abortion or no abortion, no my problem. Isreal vs palestine? Not my problem.

That's why I play games. To escape reality. I guess I need to find a new hobby

So you consider the mere existence of non-white people to be political concepts that should be ignored?

How do you feel about being called a human? Are you upset with being lumped together with all of humanity?

If the term wasn't created as a pejorative or being used as a pejorative, then why would someone be upset with its use?

So, you don't want to be reminded of the reality that non-Whites exist?

It's basically 'you put minorities in my video game. You made it political'. Just like the meme.

Ah, I've heard this one before... a thousand times before. Like when the usual suspects said it about X-Men comics, of all things. X-Men, which has always been overtly political... but certain people realized the X-Men can/are meant to represent the people that they hate, then they suddenly took notice of the politics and it became a problem.

And they also started talking about politics like they'd shown up in these comics overnight as opposed to being there from day one.

Same applies to the people who said Quantum Leap and Star Trek have "gone" woke/political. Place astronaut meme here.

Oh, just saw this post.

If you need to find a new hobby because a single piece of media in that hobby used the term 'BIPOC' in it.... then maybe you are just an asshole?
