@CAPTAIN_NXR7 What flavour is the ice cream?

Malaga Rum Raisin. Not too sweet, more rum than raisin. ?
I sulk no more.

Can somebody explain this to me? It almost feels like it‘s not a social justice issue but a trend that Sims team quickly jumps on before it becomes uncool again.

So called Justice for the Black and Asian and the LGTBQ+ community is trending right now.
I find it very sad that all this has to be “trending” for people to get some kind of recognition.

“Oh, Twitter just tweeted that I actually have to treat Asians and trans and black people as people! I didn’t realize!!! I better tell the world how much I care and treat them as real actual humans! Oh here’s my minute of silence. Oh and here’s a selfie of me and a…black trans person! Wow, they’re so popular right now. I just reserved a spot in heaven!! Thank you! Next!”

Or we can just treat any human with respect and dignity for the rest of our lives. It’s actually more straightforward than the opposite.

I mean it doesn’t take long for folks to get sick of trends and that’s the greatest danger of it all, because when we begin to express the slightest hint of “trend” fatigue, suddenly we’re all racists and bigots again.
Everything is being blown out of proportion because of these so called trends, and we can see it happen in these UI prototypes.
On the other hand there seems to be no way around trends these days.

If it trends, it makes sense. Apparently.


Again, I do respect that the team works on inclusivity for all but please make it future proof, these features can remain subtle without having to cause offense. Don’t loose the crazy wacky essence of sims and their crazy mad personalities because some “social justice issue” is trending in the world.
Well…unless bodyhair is cool again, of course. In that case please go ahead, for I’m still dealing with a distorted body image thanks to The Sims 4. ?
