Yea, I'd love to hear specifics. OP is all over this thread vaguely insinuating about "political content" but notably hasn't yet pointed out any specific examples that are objectionable.

At the risk of being downvoted into oblivion... Lets start with Spider-Man... MJ was a self-insert of a less attractive woman than typical for the character... there was a lesbian side quest that served no real value, while being excluded from international editions altogether. The pride flags through the city... That isn't even all of what went into that single game.

But sure, pretend it doesn't exist at all, and that there aren't lots of examples of game studios injecting game elements for political motivations.

I'm guessing that uou either aren't paying attention, lying or willfully ignorant if you can't see it.

None of those examples are political. They might be things you don't like, which is fine, but that doesn't make them politics. What makes the attractiveness of a 3D game character "politics"? What makes a useless gay side quest politics, but a similar useless straight side quest not-politics?

Injecting LGBTQ+, then excluding it for certain markets is absolutely political.

		Having a realistic amount of LGBTQ people/interactions in a big story shouldn't qualify as "political". Removing it for certain markets is much more political, and they should not do that, but I get the impression that isn't the outcome you want. Edit: Also the average level in the real world is a lot more than 1%. 1% is like just the trans portion.

What do editorial decisions in some specific game have to do with the news item?

		It's not even a game by a Microsoft studio, but a Sony one.

Just so I understand your objection, they are woke because in the game one of their studios made, the woman in the game wasn't attractive enough for you?

Not even their studio, his example is from Sony.

And you totally skip the "self-insert"... But I'm sure you'd cast Lizzo as Helen of Troy.

Who was the "self" being inserted here? That's a confusing term for a game made by so many people.

Of course, it's not like you couldn't have done a google search yourself, if you really cared.

The top Reddit comment there pretty much sums this whole discussion up. I can't believe I dragged myself into this. It's just Gamergate again and again. I should have known.

So you think the character looks like a fashion model? Really?

		In that thread you shared there's photos of the actress in the face scanning room; in which she doesn't look photoshopped as in the top post. Believe it or not, hot women can also get unflattering photos, let alone unflattering 3D renders taken with a lame lighting/material setup in a real time game engine.
