- Comment on NCSoft president: "The games industry's evolution towards acceptance and diversity is ongoing" 3 months ago:
I would imagine a whole myriad of different reasons, some rational and logical and some bigoted and dunse.
And not to mention, I have seen many many many comments upset about race focused casting (over talent, ability, suitability to the role etc) and then people ask 'why are you complaining about race of gender of a fictional character."
So… they think they commentor is being racist because they actually engage with the subject.

Yaknow… basic equal human rights stuff.

‘Going woke,’ is referring to intent.
Are you meeting quotes or actually engaging with race on a substantiative level.
It’s undoubtable that a lot of race casting in recent times has been to appease audiences rather than and honest engagement with reality and irl race relations.
Intent… it matters.
