Why does Hollywood feel the need to continuously shove DEI down everyone's throats.
Campaigns 1 and 2 are amazing. Relationships and ppl of all kinds are treated as normal, thus it becomes part of the characters and the world. C3 is however is not story focused, but rather it's focused on identity politics, and literally begins with each character telling their pronouns.... Pronouns are observed by others and used for CONVENIENCE. You do not choose your pronouns, it's how OTHERS IDENTIFY YOU. If you're obviously a male others will refer to you as such and vice versa. If you have to tell someone what they should see when they see you, then you have a problem with yourself. Fix it. Change your appearance to reflect the pronoun you want others to refer to you by, but you're not the most important thing in the world so ppl may get it wrong time to time, suck it up. EVERYONE has to deal with life. Stop presuming that your struggles make you special and that others don't have them. If your biggest problem in life is how another person makes reference to you then you've lived a comfy life. Go volunteer and help the world by serving and earning respect. Then you won't be so focused on "your pronouns."
And yes every character "identifies" as "they" or "ze" or whatever. It's ridiculous. There is a lack of focus on actual story and character. Instead all of the focus revolves around appeasing the alphabet people, and by doing so only further others them. It's just nonsense. They've lost the plot. They're more worried about checking every identity and far leftist political box that the story takes a backseat to THE MESSAGE.
You create good stories and if you want to center a theme then cool for a thread or two (that could even build to an overarching theme) then great! But storytellers do this by first TELLING GOOD STORIES. Nobody wants your message without a good story with interesting and relatable characters. By relatable characters that doesn't mean "representation," it means the characters face choices, situations, and problems that are relatable and build character and skill.
By C3 you have 10 minutes of Promos/Ad Reads, 5 minutes of recap, 10 minutes of setting the stage, 10 min to each character in rounds, and then an incitement of suspense, then a 20 minute break, followed by a 60-75 minute "battle" of very little consequence (when and if there is character death it's literally planned beforehand to make sure the Player is okay with their Character's death-can we be any more sensitive?).
Campaign 1 - 8.0/10 Campaign 2 - 8.5/10 Campaign 3 - 3.0/10.
