Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 107942, member: 6930"] Sadly the [B]Dunning–Kruger effect [/B]is quite strong. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1740917345020.png"]35363[/ATTACH] While I agree that pure tokenism and making female characters voluntarily unattractive because of the "male gaze" are stupid things to do but I feel that people are overusing the term "DEI" (which I sometimes jokingly call "DIE") when some devs are also doing it in the same way journalist are self-censoring their work without any governmental involvement. But the thing I dislike the most is pretending to be the first to make something diverse when we got diversity even back in the 70's. I used to be fine with the "clumsy nerdy guy" archetype as a comic relief until it got overused like when being fat was the punchline for a character in the 80's-90's. But why is the villain's color that important? There were badass antagonist that were hispanic/latino asian or black because the actor themselves were good (like Wesley Snipes as Simon "Not Blade" Phoenix in Demolition Man which basically carried the whole movie with Stallone or Tony Todd as Grange in The Crow who almost stole the spotlight of the main antagonist as he got some huge aura and charisma). Personally I find "indirect kisses" more gross because I hate drinking from the same straw another person drank before, even if it's from a cute girl because I prefer keeping our bacteria separate. Even kissing itself is not an hygienic act come to think about it. [/QUOTE]
