Things that break immersion for some gamers:
Main character isn't a white cishet male
NPCs that don't reinforce the primacy of white cishet males
Acceptance of non-cis/het people in a story involving fantasy creatures that is otherwise totally believable, well-written, and, above all, where only this scene is clumsily delivered (and not the fact the supporting character's hat appears to be a folded bird)
No sarcasm in the third point at all. (Edit: That's more sarcasm where I'm indicating I'm being sarcastic in point three)
Otherwise well written? This game is trash. Go replay an older dragon age if you forgot what good writing is
Do you actually just assume random people are racist for zero reason in your day to day life? I couldn't help but go into your profile and I laughed when you complained about toxicity on lemmy.
I've been working on being more civil online, so be assured the following is a much kinder response than that which I was initially inclined to:
🤡
Plus the bit about "I went on your profile and couldn't help laughing about..." It absolutely puts the big red nose on the clown. How are you writing all of this? Aren't cell phones banned for students in school in the US? Are you skiving off?
I'm honestly unsure what you're upset about lol
How do you know if someone is worth blocking if you don't vet them a bit
I didn't have to vet your profile at all to figure out you're worth blocking. You did all the work for me.
You are the toxicity on lemmy
FTFY
I made a mistake: point three was dripping with sarcasm, so I followed with a line meant to highlight this, but I unthinkingly wrote it in the same highly sarcastic manner.
I have no idea what you're trying to infer. Please tell me this isn't a prelude to "all racism has some truth to it".
Like which gamers exactly are upset about non white npcs?
I don't understand the relevance of bringing up race here unless you meant to infer that's something which bothers me in games
