Perhaps you would first like porn banned or forced to change it's ways? Because say what you will about bad media BUT NOTHING video games have ever done comes close to the shit porn, especially Japanese porn, does with regards to women.
I think most porn should be banned yes.
But just because there is something worse doesn't mean the rest is acceptable. Not to mention that mass media is far more accessible and relevant in day to day affairs than porn. But yes, a lot of porn should be banned, both for how they show what they show (demeaning to women) and violation of human rights in the workplace.
I am against this because forcing developers to create specific characters or to show them in specific ways just to appease some demographics is NOT going to create good games.
I'm against filling quotas for the sake of it. Yes, I don't think that's a good mindset to have for art.
But at the same time, if you want to create a story that's immersive, you better get out of the white straight male sphere considering it's a minority of the entire global population (unless you have an in-universe explanation such as being stuck on a continent like in TW, but even then I'd like to see a Zerrikeanean other than the crap Javed).
That and writers should be sensitive to demographics that have been systematically excluded since forever. Because I believe art like everything else should be socially responsible.
So it's not about "I need to have 5 females, 3 homosexuals, 3 blacks, 6 Asians....etc"
But rather "I need to portray a world that is diverse such as real life, and portray the demographics that I want to portray in a respectful and nuanced manner." Aka good writing.
