There was a great, underrated game back in 2009, set during WW2 , with a female protagounist based on real life heroine
Violette Szabo . There was no controversy around that game.
It was a good game that sold shit. It was one of my favourite Xbox360 era games ever.
It had a woman, smart, strong and selfless, a believable character insterted in a credible setting inspired by a real story, with the due differences from history, but still respectful of its context and the tragedy that war brought to Europe.
It also had a pure, genius-level ending.
Velvet Assassin is the proof that a game with a strong femle lead can actually work if your goal is not to push or , for better saying, shove down our throat your political agenda.
You can and should and must use a "minority" character any time you want, just don't do it just to humiliate and mis-represent the majority.
in 2009 that game was a sleeper hit, nobody complained too much.
In 2018 a shitty game in which everyone who isn't a woman or black man is guilty of something, is getting praise.
The problem is not politics, gamers have no idea what politics is despite all the Hillary cheerleading, the problem is that this generation of people is not accostumed to art, beauty and quality and can't tell the difference between chocolate and shit. And they will defend their entitlement to eat shit, by censoring, deplatforming, humiliating, etc whoever stands their ground to defend chocolate. Or at least the option to chose which one to eat.
