| Liberal sanctimony. |
| Having equal representation encourages people to try new things and discourages gender norms/stereotypes, I'd like to think. I'm not saying it works, I'm saying that's the intent of it. |

Mashiro-Yuki said: The obvious answer for me would be no. During high school, I only really had male friends. Male bonding is a legitimate thing that happens. Why should FFXV have to have a female party member? For diversity's sake? Should they also have a black man? A homosexual? I don't think so. People can make whatever they want with whatever characters they want. |

| I support a remake of Prison School where every character's gender is flipped, so that it becomes mandatory viewing for anyone insisting on equal representation. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| Just don't try and poorly shoehorn it in. |

| I don't think it should be. If people want to write only male characters, only female characters, only white characters, only black characters, only children, only animals, they should be able to. Representation is important but I don't get the whole idea of people needing to have a character be like them in order to care. So many of my favourite characters are ones I could never relate to on any level. People need to stop projecting and getting upset when they aren't included. There's also such a thing as different demographics. Different types of people enjoy different types of stories, and some of those stories can only be told with certain characters. A lot of the time it's also just pandering when they throw minority characters in (which isn't always a bad thing, but in some cases it's obviously because they want to show off how progressive they are). I feel like people put way too much importance on characters' sexuality, gender and race nowadays, which is really stupid to me. What ever happened to judging characters by their personality and their actions? Whether I like a character or not has absolutely nothing to do with what sexuality/gender/race/whatever else they are, and the fact that so many people only look at that is bad because it'll lead to so many token characters over the next few years. Even if they're not offensive, we don't need more of those. I blame Tumblr for this. Fuck Tumblr, it's an awful website and people on it do more harm than good. Teenagers should never be able to form a conglomerate like that. |

| I've always found it disturbing that the consumption of media has become such a constant, inescapable presence in modern life that people feel as though themselves being tangentially "represented" in shitty games, comic books, movies, etc. through some transitory physical trait is somehow making their own lives more fulfilled. It's almost as if, to these people, their standing in the real, physical world is in some way lesser to their more nebulous "cultural" standing in invented ones. Like the instant they see Noctis and his band of proto-Backstreet Boys their existence has become entirely vicarious. Just give me characters that don't suck. I'll even read the yaoi fics. |
| Nah, it's not needed every time. So long as the characters interact in cool or interesting ways, it's all good. I mean, I guess I've come to be a fan of diversity in fantasy-type settings because of all the different races and creatures that can be in them, but it shouldn't be a rule set in stone - you don't have to just throw in a female koalaman or elf because you thought up too many human males. BUT it is fun thinking up little motley crews of adventurers that journey together for whatever reasons |

| Well thankfully enough most gamers in my circle couldn't careless about gender, sexual preferences, clothing, and some arbitrary stuff that don't affect the gameplay whatsoever. And thankfully enough, we don't care about all the weird shits that make game forums so unbearable at times and just focus on playing the games. well, casuals. |
| Not at all. A work has no responsibility to represent anyone. I don't go looking for Jews in African novels. What is important is how you represent the people that are in your story. Are the Black people in your story all token? Or do they have a personality beyond being black? |

| No, but I do feel like media that does give representation to groups that rarely get any should be appreciated. And in terms of media that focuses on a group, it's also nice to see people of that group cast for it when/where applicable. |
| I think it depends on the game. So no. |
| It's a fucking idiotic way of thinking that's what it is. No there should be absolutely no obligations to include anything at all in a video game. Including things for diversities sake is completely moronic and should never happen. Sure if you wanna have a black guy a gay guy a female and all sorts then by all means go ahead, but don't just make it that way for diversities sake, make what you originally intended to make. Though saying that, a diverse cast is never really a bad thing, but don't force it. Apologies for the language but this topic gets me really angry sometimes, it's one of the most talked about things and it shouldn't even be a question in my opinion. Write or create whatever the fuck you want to, don't feel like you have to include things because of this crap :D while not directly relating to this at all really it's still using the same sort of point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alDaBwuRxKQ Quite ironic using this video in this way but oh well. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Bro's have guy friends usually when they're together in a group around the age of the MC its a guy hang out day. Equal representation makes no sense and doesn't even reflect reality so is a poor excuse for changing storytelling. Its like those stupid movies and games where you have like tough as nails special forces unit and there's always one attractive woman tagging along. In reality that would be a pretty rare sight and before anyone goes to post images of female special forces members there's always going to be examples contrary to the norm but most small anti terrorist teams for example do not have women in yet they always have to have one female in the group every movie or game its stupid. Why is everyone so afraid of having a squad of guys what too gay? |

| Good in theory, terrible in practice. Like many things. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |

Salvatia said: race/gender quotas are cancer This, making female/minority characters for the sake of having those characters is everything that is wrong with "equality". Make your characters the way you want to, don;t listen to SJWs. Gender matters, there are definite psychological and physiological differences between genders, and they will certainly influence the type of character you create. I went on a road trip with some friends, one of them was female, does it matter? Not in the slightest, we could have all been female, but we weren't. If the point of your character is to be black than they might as well not exist. |
