The Sims 4 one is so awkward. I won't fault those people for finding expression and safety in the game, even if they overdid it and made a depressing commercial. But I don't know. It feels a bit like blatant emotional manipulation? Bringing out these people to speak about their traumas and issues in order to sell a product. Like, I'm sure it was meant to be inspirational and relatable, and I'm sure a lot of people would feel the same way about it. But it seems kind of weird to me, personally.
And it's pretty much telling how minorities were chosen for the ad, instead you know anybody and everybody. You can't argue that people that are 'victimize often by social oppression' quo (asian, disabled, black and transgender) were put on accident to coincidentally talk issues related exclusively to their distinct identity. The video is heavily scripted and focused on only these social minority group. It's blatant especially when those four people outcry about their own issues (racism, homophobia, surgeries for handicapped), which doesn't exist in the game and thus shouldn't be in the video as they have nothing to do with the game. It's quite uncomfortable to watch this video.
