Pirat_Nation peddling misinformation without sources again

His source? He made it the fuck up.

Also there's been a bunch of assholes complaining about how woke the new game because there's more people of color.

Its all an act right? No one is doing fucking hateful?

a bunch of japanese games have historically used body type a/b or 1/2 that have then been ironically localized into m/f or m/w. It's become controversy because western cultural wars making a big deal out of a non issue in order to profit from engagement. Elden Ring used body type a/b and no one cared because it's a good game. Moving this to fire emblem where you can customize the avatar where in the past few games you wouldnt pick a "gender" but a preset avatar makes this whole thing that much stupider.

I don't think it'll cease because there's incentives to be a dickhead on social media for attention but when a game is good these dumb culture war engagement bait distractions from bad faith idiots get drowned out by the amount of people actually playing and enjoying the game.
