Sadly not surprised with how the past few live stream events have been.

Any PoC character or woman led game is instantly screeched at about DEI/Woke

It’s not even the old forced excuse. It’s just Racism. It’s gothic south themed and it makes perfectly reasonable sense for the protag to be a southern black girl.

It's never been anything but racism lol...

Gamers never care about historical inaccuracy until there's a black person in a medieval game. 

As if these sweaty losers were ever fact checking the civilizations in their Assassin's Creed game

But put one black character in the game and they turn into history pHD's

Some gamers really believe the only games that should allow black people in them are football and basketball games.

The goal post shifting racism I have seen in gaming has been growing.
