Andromeda and SJW influence: Delusional Rage or Unfortunate Reality? (Discussion)

Racist characters 200 years into the future: OK

Women characters in positions of power 200 years into the future: OMG THAT'S SO UNREALISTIC, PURE SJW! 

"virtue signal" LOL
who the everloving fuck is "virtue signaling" on BSN?
we are all anonymous here.
no one cares what anyone thinks of them.
I don't care who thinks I am a good or bad person or whoever is judging me because my name is "warrior" and my avatar is FemShep pouring booze into her eye.
we are only trying to advocate for our own humanity against people who think "too much" of us in a video game is "unrealistic."
especially if we are "too strong."
if you believe that, we have zero common ground to find.
if you don't believe that, you should be arguing with the people who do instead.

I'm not sure what's wrong with virtue signaling anyway. Other things being equal, it's better to have virtue than to not.

no one ever said crybaby anti-"SJW" memes were supposed to make any sense

I was naïve like you once. Unfortunately I learned the hard way that anyone who screams that something is ruined forever just because it appeals to more than just straight white men is not someone who can be reasoned with.

I still don't know how those shots got cleared for release.

Delusional. The only thing I hate worse than SJW'ers are anti-SJW'ers.

The inclusion of "SJW" elements did not by itself make the story bad. It was just the fact that the writing was mishandled in general that means that the SJW-stuff got real hamfisted too.

Examples? And no, complaining about one line of dialogue on a subject where the OT was all over the place anyway does not count as a "significant breach of canon".

In my experience, people usually use the phrase "virtue signalling" when they can't come up with a decent counter-argument, so they simply try and shut the debate down by attacking a person's character instead.


Someone mentions the possibility of a video game that doesn't cater exclusively to straight white males, and your response is accusing them of pushing a narrative of "straight white men are evil"?


Give me one example of that. 

That's like complaining that Star Trek Voyager had a female captain when the Original Series didn't. And regardless, we see female salarians as important figures such as councillors and the like in the OT anyway. Females in combat roles in salarian society may be rare, but not unheard of. And krogan females are stated to have their own clan structure with just as power as males, and we hear stories of legendary female warlords. And as for the asari thing, the first game alone ties itself in a knot regarding the lore, but of course you'll only complain about it when it suits your agenda...
I don't care what people on tumblr or twitter are saying. I care about what the people you're addressing on this forum are saying, and it wasn't anything like "how evil straight white men are". 

This is genuine ground for complaint. But as I've said before, there's a difference between complaining about the quality of a transgender character, and complaining about the very fact that there is a transgender character. To say that Abrams should have been either better written or not included is perfectly correct. To say that there shouldn't be transgender characters in video games is not. Do you see the distinction I'm making here?

That is true. I will post an appropriate gif whenever I want.

People who are labeled anti-SJW are people who scream about "SJWs", which is code for complaining about diversity, because they know that being honest about what their problems are would ruin any sympathy.

By the way, no one claimed that straight white men are evil. Really, considering that the anti-SJW crowd started this whole debate because they have such a problem with a game trying to appeal to multiple demographics, it's rather absurd to try to paint them as victims.

No one said that straight white men aren't allowed to have opinions. Just that straight white men aren't the only demographic that matters.

Your victim complex just keeps growing stronger.
