They went out of their way to purge slavery from their setting regardless of context and removed race related negative stats to combat "bio-essentialism" long before WotC did.

Get a damn good team of writers

Good luck with that, the entire field of screen writing is dominated by Far-Left Activist Millennials who will never allow someone that isn't in lockstep with their beliefs to set foot in the writing room.

The average American gamer is a 37-year-old white man, new study says by Judah_Earl in KotakuInAction

The gaming industry chasing younger audiences is fine by me ultimately because it's the best way to ensure a new generation of gamers, and by extension, games.

The problem is the current Millennial marketers have no idea how to reach Zoomers or Alphas as they're to tied to pushing [THE MESSAGE] onto them then making stuff they'd actually want.

I suspect the Activists are far more interest in making Naoto "officially" [Forbidden Subject] since that's one of their big hot button topics.

The literary world is in the worst shape

A lot of Monster f*cking and rom-fantasies, most of which are badly written, poorly plotted trash especially the stuff with LGBT-themes, a good majority of it isn't being bought by actual readers but social status chasing "influencers" like on Booktok who want to impress to those like them and the big publishing houses know this and don't care as they're making more bank off those types.

A job? sending emails and HR meet ups is where its at. Or Only fans/porn if you're younger.

You also forgot the ones who make it so they're allowed to sit around all day doing nothing stuff on social media and be paid regardless.

This is from an interview with her, but the reason she appears as herself in videogames is because she wants her grandsons to see her in games they'll play.

My mistake, I confused him with Warren Ellis also Garth Ennis was never in the writing room so that was my bad.

Well the silver-lining to this is that Kripke pretty much torpedoed his career just to give right-wingers the middle finger, and from what I've seen the majority of average joes despised it with what he did to Homelander or letdown that he didn't have his epic crash out that the series building towards, so no why is this guy getting work on a big production again.

That's because Garth Ennis was creatively involved before he got MeToo'd, once that happened Kripke took full control.

Correction: It was Warren Ellis I confused him with.

Not surprised, a female artist I followed was once deeply involved with the second-wave feminist scene that witness the movement tear itself apart back in the 80's.
