    Who does this? I am only aware of far-right bros angrily making lists of games that have black and/or gay characters.

      those are the people 1984 is talking about, or rather to, I believe.

      Edit: nvm, 1984 is among them perhaps.

      There’s a few, very vocal idiots every now and then who believe that every group/minority should be represented in every piece of media. A lot of the time they don’t even belong to any of those minorities. And then there’s the people who comply to cater to that audience, because they appear bigger in numbers than they are.

      Don’t wanna get “canceled” on Xitter, you know? /s

      Anyway, I don’t care personally. I haven’t really seen a lot of examples in media where the creators made characters part of a minority, maybe even retroactively, just to please a certain demographic. The closest I can think of is J.K. Rowling’s Xitter account. That was interesting to watch, to say the least lol
