games have historically been targetted predomnantly at adolescent straight males typically white (though of course the Japanese games industry mostly targetted Japanese).

Now there are calls for diversifcation to add to the appeal to other audiences to bring games in line with movies, books, tv series.

Some people oppose this and, as a backlash movement, are, while accepting anyone may play the games, insisting games should continue to target (predominantly) white, straight males and developers should disregard the tastes of anyone else.

This leads to a clash of people trying to impose conflicting agendas on the game industry.

American comics are in a similar position
