It's not exactly "enforcing our will" if we're asking for, you know, being acknowledged as existing.
But the "you're free to come up with your own stories" bullshit really has to fucking stop.
Being critical of a piece of media for whatever reason usually triggers this response, but it always comes out the second someone suggests there should be a minority represented, regardless of the fact that like 99.9% of all games have a straight white male protagonist.
But the worst part about it is "come up with your own stories" is fucking horseshit. The cards are heavily stacked against minorities in all fields of media. Women, PoC and queer people as creators are looked down upon in the film and game industries, and it's already incredibly difficult to find a job in these industries as a minority creator, let alone be in charge of a project where you make creative decisions.
Finally, there's a difference between a small indie game made by a handful of people that's telling a story and has, at best, a few thousand people buying it, and a triple A game that is made by a multi-million $ corporation/publisher and a creative team that has several dozen if not hundred people working on it, and is specifically created to generate profit rather than being a heartfelt story the devs wanted to tell.
Personally, I am patently against the agenda to silence minorities and have the majority of straight white men enforce their will onto our plea for representation and being allowed to have options.
We're not going to agree on this.
You are arguing that you need media representation to acknowledge your existence.
I'm arguing that forcing every writer who dreams a world and the characters within it is entitled to their vision. And forcing them to cease that creative license and vision because you need to be acknowledged is "fucking horseshit".
