Just because you don't feel the need to be represented in the media you consume doesn't mean everyone feels the same way.

Just because you don't feel the need to be represented in the media you consume doesn't mean everyone feels the same way.

Just for amusing arguments sake, let's explore how much you agree with your own statement.

Should I be upset that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, a game set in medieval central Europe, doesn't have any black female representation?

If an Assassin's Creed game was set in Africa during the wars between the Oyo empire and the kingdom of Dahomey, would it be reasonable of me to complain that there are no white male characters?

If an Indian developer created an excellent new open world game with fat Indian woman as the main character, am I justified in being dismayed that there's no option to change her hair color to match mine?

You've intentionally chosen a narrow set of examples in an effort to refute something I never said.

I'm a 40 something straight white man.  I sometimes find it interesting and refreshing to put in the shoes of characters whose lives do not resemble my own, and sometimes I don't.  Depends entirely on the game, movie, book, or whatever I'm presented with.

You said gamers don't like it.  I'm a gamer and I think its great.  The existence of titles that can allow someone to feel represented through those kinds of options and designs doesn't stop other games from existing.
