The point of this video is to express my opinion that this award show is manufactured consumerism like all other gaming awards shows and journalist picks. I believe the people who make the decisions on who gets awards are just secretly showcasing works of friends and people they're affiliated with. We saw this when Ghost of Tsushima came out. It lost "Game of the Year" to The Last of Us 2. A game that was highly hated and criticized as not being a good successor to the first by fans. The characters were completely butchered and players were forced to play a character that everyone hated. Its clear that politics and "Muh Representaion" played a role. One game was highly praised by Journalist while the other was highly praised by fans, sold out in the first week, was praised by Japanese audiences, and criticized by journalist for not having a easier mode.

Another example is the best actor award went to Marvel's Avengers Kamala Khan actor Sandra Saad. This is a character in a game that died within the first week of launch and by the end of the month had a dead player base. But, why did she win for her performance in a dead, pay to win, microtransaction hellscape of a game. Well lets look at Marvel. Kamala Khan is the part of the new diverse line of hero's being pushed by Ideologues within these studios. Kamala Khan a.k.a "Ms. Marvel" is a literally fanfic self insert character that has a new movie coming out. Her personal comics got cancelled because no body actually reads or likes her character or stories. So its a big coincidence that all these awards go out to games and or characters that overall the fanbase hates it or the target audience's are completely oblivious to these characters existence.

So when I look at this award shows and I see games, comic books, development studios, or etc. get awards for simply slapping pronouns in their titles and are getting praise despite them not really making any content worth their salt, I have questions. Are these people truly in favor of LGBTQ+ or are they using these labels to get easy clout and or fake awards to self promote? As a writer myself the last thing I think about is representation when I write characters. I care more about how are the readers going to care about the struggles and the conflicts my characters find themselves in. Are the worlds im building something that my readers will love to get lost in and explore it.
