"...Gaming culture is the last remaining safe-haven for white teen boys."
Allegedly said by a Riot Games supervisor who told one of his workers to not focus on adding diversity to their games.

I certainly hope not.
If you want a 'safe haven' in video games play in a private lobby with your white teen male friends if other people make you that uncomfortable. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Darmik posted... If you want a 'safe haven' in video games play in a private lobby with your white teen male friends if other people make you that uncomfortable. This is true. Though I think it's more that they want an escape from real life and other media where they're forced to realize that women and minorities are not just footnotes. Might have something to do with the relative lack of female protagonists and almost complete lack of minority (especially Black) protagonists in games, and why they seem to react so strongly against both if a game is shown with either or both in major roles. Probably the same reason they tend to also be so quick to defend Japan and Japanese media. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson ...

I think if you left out race it would be more accurate.

Unless it's badly done like *cough* Wolfenstein *cough* The Walking Dead TellTale series was diversity done right though. Great characters and story. --- Yo wtf ... Copied to Clipboard!
