@CAPTAIN_NXR7 I understand what you're saying, but if we're asking them to stop the focus on representation, that isn't going the fix the rest of the game, is it? Won't they just continue to add visuals instead of gameplay?
I keep seeing the same argument in this thread. There's too much focus on representation, because there's too little focus on representation. If you want wheelchairs instead of unisex items, then just say that. But if that's what you want, you're not against representation.
If you don't want any of it, then just say you don't want any of it. Coming up with examples of how we shouldn't have curly hair or pride flags because we don't have a height slider or rosaries, that seems kind of a moot point to make if you want them to shift the focus away from representation.
Also, all the current representation updates being done are about adding and fixing things for POC. Nothing for LGBTQ+ has been added to the game since they started with the skin tones. When being asked about pronouns, they're holding off the boat, saying, "we heard you want them, here are the reasons you don't have them". If representation is the issue, then talking about the POC updates is much more relevant, yet nobody seems to have a problem with that.
If all the beef is with the LGBTQ+ assets and none of it is with any of the other groups being represented, then I wouldn't be surprised if the folks at Maxis are going to facepalm a bit about that. Either you want more representation, or you want less of it, but let's not single out one group because they got it before someone else did.
@CAPTAIN_NXR7 The pride assets are all lifeless objects, by the way. They don't add any buffs/gameplay.
