It’s be nice for social networks to have features where you can just pattern-match off of idiot dogwhistle comments like Sweet Baby and automatically block users bringing them up. I have to do it for YouTube and thankfully the incel videos have toned down a little, but every once in a while I get a “Men are OPPRESSED”.
Fair enough, and I'm happy to actually talk about it. I have no issue with diversity, but story should take precedence. It's make believe and fairy tales, but the DEI is taking center stage, which is usually indicative of a mediocre product if you look at the metacritic scores for Sweet Baby Inc Detected reviews. Notable exceptions include God of War Ragnarok, which is one of my favorite games of all time, where their core team took the consults and used them to make it better (see Angrboda feedback neutralizing any complaints about DEI). That's only because of how tastefully done it wasn't just logjammed out of fear of backlash. They consulted, some feedback was taken, but the creative director wasn't their puppet.
Fable and the predecessor games had a core team that's disbanded now. It's a blank slate and all I see is the DEI pandering, not a core product that looks compelling. It's just more derivative sludge for wokeness' sake. Hard pass.
