So a bit of context, I've been having s video from Diesel Patches and a bunch of what I calle."Reactionary Commentary Channels" talking about diversity once again. But this time, they tried to convey their Bigotry through "commentating" on a Dove commercial where they have different women of different ability and ethnicity be shown in the Unreal Engine to do the usual Rainbow Capitalist commercial.

Unfortunately, Diesel don't talk about how Rainbow Capitalism sucks but just said that wanting diversity in a game having someone looking like you is selfish and pointless as games are an escapism (Which is Sad). And I've been wanting to make maybe one of those Reddit videos of people talking about their experiences.

So this one is basically: When did you see yourself in a game? What was it that made you relate to the character and would you prefer games to show your identity more and how?

i've related to aspects of characters from media, but never the whole thing

Understandable, I find this to be a valid post of the idea of diversity in media. I've had the same thing but ngl seeing a POC not in a sports game makes me happy.
