Can we talk about the sims 4 rebrand vidio ?

In a game where you can literally get emotion'd to death (had a Sim get so embarrassed she crawled into a fettle position and f'ing died.), can watch children drown in the ocean and get poisoned by pufferfish, and of course my favorite, see just how easy it is to watch your entire family die in a house fire. The LAST thing I'd try to use to promote this game with is "It's a safe space everyone! Come one come all, if you have issues like depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts come play Sims 4! It'll make you magically feel better unless you see your Simself get horribly embarrassed in public that they literally die from embarrassment!"

This honestly has to be the most tone deaf ad I've seen in ages. They KNOW they have a subpar product that they've been half-baking by the lack of content, letting the older packs rot (Seriously, what's the point of getting Dine Out when every new pack bugs the living plum out of Dine Out and EA refuses to look back and try and fix it? Honestly at this point, Dine Out has been the biggest waste of $20 I've made in a long time.). But you know what? We can't say anything bad about Sims 4, because look at what they're doing! You can finally make the Transgender or Non-Binary Sim that said people have wanted to make for years! You can now make a real Muslim Sim without relying on mods! And on top of all that, look at how much this game is helping everyone! All these people with mental health issues, or people with depression, or bully victims or suicidal thoughts are now magically better because of the Sims! You'd have to be a real piece of human garbage to trash talk the Sims now! See what I just said? All of this is just being done to shield The Sims 4, Maxis and EA from any valid criticism!

That's right folks, this was all done to hide behind marginalized people while sticking their head out from behind them going "Na nana na boo boo!" and sticking out their tongues at you like the immature folk at EA are.

It actually triggers my anxiety more than the other Sims games. A game about escaping failure is always going to feed depression rather than help it. It is the Facebook mentality with the Sims 4. People view the facade of all these so called perfect lives, but if you look beyond the surface, many of these people are facing stressful situations in their lives. There still isn't a non-binary gender option in the game. There are a ton of cultures still not being represented in the game, and disabilities are still not being represented in the game. Sims 4 has the biggest ageism and sexualism issue with the game too with nearly every pack catering to YA female Sims only and only offering high heels for shoes for females. Makeup and majority of outfits still caters to white Sims only especially with the eye shadows and blushes with the limited color options. The lack of custom hair colors and hair colors leaves out a lot of Simmers as well. There aren't enough tattoos and body piercings which is becoming more and more common everyday. Sims also have too much money without any consequences which caters to the rich. It is like all the problems my country is facing alienating people is all displayed in the Sims 4 and it is no longer a game to escape to. I also hate when representation is done in the game, it is always met with backlash, so this video is a slap in the face with the Sims community issues and bullying that is allowed on social media, forums, and fan sites. What is the point if these issues can't be addressed in the community when bullying is allowed day in and day out as well as other illegal activity without consequence.
