I feel like this video is manipulating.It feels like they took a bunch of people with self-esteem issues than put them on the center. The thing is this game is not meant to be a safe space, and you shouldn't be using this game as the main comfort. I have issues as well, and this does not sit well with me.
@Horrorgirl6 lots to unpack in that video and I won't harp on what is in the video because others will, but I will harp on the ageism. Looks like everyone in that video was late teens or early twenties and that is the issue. The Sims is one of those rare games that appeals to all ages, but EA/Maxis cater to one demographic - this one age group and that sucks.
I think the marketing team thought they nailed the diversity theme, but NOPE the didn't.
