From my point of view, The Sims Team has indeed made some bad moves when it comes to some things in-game. When I heard that they are adding pronouns I had (and I still have) mixed feelings. It's great that they are expanding representations in-game but at the same time, they are neglecting many core things of a game.
I don't understand why they are focusing on adding pronouns (text in-game) that will take a lot of time and money when they could be focusing on more important things like improving already released packs or adding more gameplay features (babies, cars, etc.) and more settings options (lifespan, occult controls, etc.). The Sims 4 is a
game that lacks a lot of
gameplay and just changing the displayed text won't improve much.

So who do you want represented? You talk about how you feel excluded and left out but you don't actually say what representation you want in the game.
It's not about "who". At least that is what I think. It's about represented as a whole when it comes to creating Sims. It bothers me that the game is becoming political - as in American politics. I'm not ashamed to say that my skin color and hair color is not all that well represented, and what someone else said, male sims. I like that they add clothing and furniture styles from different part of the world but creating a perfect copy of yourself - is it necessary for the game to be good? I much rather they spend time and effort on the game play itself rather than trying to be politically correct.
exactly! one of my favorite games is a shooter where the characters are 9 men. did i need to see myself on the game to like it? no, because what attracted me to play was the gameplay. so much for inclusion on the sims 4 yet it's all set dressing, you can make the prettiest sim but what's it for, if there's barely stuff to do on the game. the actual group being left out are the long time sims players. it's hard to get sims 1 & sims 2, and sims 4 wants to be everything except similar to past games, and don't get me started on the sims 5.
THIS.
