"Woke" Franchises

That's my issue, the hyper-woke shit with rainbows and gay people all over the place doesn't bother me too much because I was never going to watch/play those anyways. Hell let the SJW types keep em.

But it seeps into otherwise non-Woke shit, with juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust enough subtlety to fool normies while being comically visible to anyone with half a brain.

Good example? Starfield. Yeah sure it as some gay characters, as if good RPG's like New Vegas didn't have them. So that's fine so far.

But holy shit why is like over 60% of the capital city comprised of obese Australian Aboriginals? What the hell kind of genealogy fuckup happened in that universe, was there a major accident at the sperm bank or something? And why is their healthcare so terrible!?

And they're all so fucking ugly, like disturbingly so, it comes across as weirdly racist that Bethesda believes every single brown person is some sort of dysgenic monstrosity when most of them in real life look like, well, usual people!

So congrats Starfield, you just had to eat up that ESG money to fill a fictional universe with a hyper specific people for no good reason. If you need to fill the game with minorities at least fill it with thicc latina women or something.

Which capital.
 
Sounds like the same level of argument applicable to everything from Fallout to Firefly to be honest.

Pretty common SciFi Trope.

Not really. In most sci-fi that sort of thing is either reserved for civilizations that have ether just started rebuilding from a cataclysmic war or outlying regions/planets that haven't been fully settled or are just too poor to do that.
