Wtf does that mean

I sorta asked what he meant and he looked at me like I was dumb and said "you know, the Ls, the Ds, the Gs". I'm guessing he meant LGBTQ people, but idfk. The guy gives me bad reactionary vibes, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I look it up afterwards and most places talking about it online are accurately pointing out the company just sucks and management is awful, but I feel like that's been common knowledge for like a decade at this point.

Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I'm way outta the loop

Was a recent AssCreed protagonist gay or something? I don't recall Ubi being noteworthy for having LGBT characters.

I think the LDG crowd includes black guys and women

Leonardo da Vinci was gay in the Ezio games

Da vinci was probably gay as fuck, why are they surprised by this

No one really talked about it since those games came out in 2009 and 2010 before the current right wing nerd outrage industrial complex had been established

Yeah, but that was before "woke" was hiding under the CHUD's beds, so it doesn't count. "Political" people didn't exist until after gamergate.

just shows how fast reactionaries stop caring about "historical accuracy"

The first one started with a text about how it was made by a diverse team. Dei is baked into that game

I think that was more to ward off accusations of being anti-Muslim in a War on Terror world given the Crusades setting

Also probably why they played it safe and made sure to downplay religion in the game

They target shit that sucks snd insert anti-minority stuff and it works every time. I'm waiting for them to do it to Microsoft/Xbox really soon.
