I agree but it doesn’t change the fact that they are very often poorly written or poorly represented in these games.
It’s not that diversity in games itself is bad it’s the way it’s done.
As an example, I really like how it was seamlessly integrated in games like the ones by NomNomNami. Obviously those are more cosy slice of life type games but I’ve seen other games that seamlessly integrate it well too. The trick is the characters need to be well written as real people who happen to be a minority, not simply characters who’s whole purpose is that they are a minority.
Why do minority characters have to justify their existence in a AAA game? Diversity is not political, it’s a fact of life.
