      and omg one last thing ‼️stop calling personal attacks, threats of violence, and other harassment, “criticism”.‼️ this is not criticism. there is a distinction. this stuff is meant to drive this sort of experimentation out. It’s indicative of a larger problem in games.https://twitter.com/alienmelon/status/934844038775054336 …

      sharing to illustrate my point as to why I think we are so not done talking about “games are art” let alone making a space + understanding for art games because I get INUNDATED with these. basically all the time in different contexts. pic.twitter.com/tqOUazKfDn

      The price for calling your games art is that, much like other media, you run the risk of the public not liking your experimentation. The best modern artists, for instance, all had classical backgrounds. They knew the rules before they broke them.

      So while the harassment and threats from #GamerGate are clearly inexcusable, the underlying sentiment was that gamers / comics fans (even many female ones) generally didn't like identity politics being pushed on them or even elevated above overall quality. 🤨

      a person making a game (that is then, apparently, shown by a third-party to those hostile towards art) is hardly "pushing identity politics"

      The topic's too broad for tweets, but if you want some examples from the opposing side, go on YT and look up "Diversity Games Suck" or "Diversity in Comics" to see their criticisms. They're like the mirror version of @femfreq.

      In general, I don't think even so-called anti-feminists or anti-SJWs have an issue with diversity in media, so long as it's done seamlessly and not at the expense of story, gameplay, immersion, or other things. If diversity makes sense in context and arises naturally.

      As if it's "natural" that so many things feature white men and marginalize other folks. That didn't happen naturally either. That's not apolitical. It's a deeply political reality.

          I mean in the sense that there's a reason for them being a certain way, or at least there not being a reason they can't be. That it's not JUST "we need more representation." So like making Elsa black in medieval Sweden would be a reach, which is why she's white and Tiana's not.

          To your point, yes, historically many times they just happen to arbitrarily be white males. But if the only reason you're making Mario black is to make Mario black because we need more black characters ... I can see why people'd take issue with that. It doesn't add anything.
