Also burglars are not in the game because EA that don't want to make an appearance in the game. EA would rather not have their character be visual.

The burglar themself wasn't traumatic, but the bloody music 💀

When it was said they didn’t include robbers because they wanted to be inclusive to people with anxiety I laughed Bro everything makes me anxious robbers weren’t worse

One thing I always notice whenever I play the Sims 2 again is just how much naturally spicier romance options and kisses there are, they just have a lot more feeling behind it without being too much or anything, or how heavy the reactions would be to certain things like adultery, that just adds a bunch more spice and intensity with there even being kids' reactions, and I have a feeling that the whole "playing safe" is exactly why everything is muted and toned down, like the saturation has just been turned wayyyyy down on literally every more dramatic fun or risky aspect, which leaves it with barely any life

My theory for a long time has been that Sims 4 caters to a player base that includes young children, that parents allow their kids, 4-10 years old or so, to play the game, and EA chooses to dumb it down and make it more innocent so it's more family-friendly. As you rightly said, it's about the money, and if parents are buying packs and kits for their kids, EA will go where the money is. I'd be fine with that, if they'd give us hard-mode or grown-up mode or something. It's just too beige to play right now, and I have no expectation of anything better for the next one.

As a gen z - you can have diversity AND gameplay. I grew up playing sims 3 and LOVED having things happened to my sims. Now i have to make drama myself if i want it and things don't really have consequences. It's not really fun. Bb is a whole another level, sure, but it barely has a personality.

This is why I really like your content Satch, you aren't yelling or screaming, you're always polite and kind but don't try to sugarcoat your feelings or opinions. It's refreshing and nice. Also even when talking about a serious subject you're still really funny. "I'm gay and I'm not offended" was hilarious

This is why we mod everything because EA won't give us what we want. Bless the mod community

I've been saying this for yeeeears 🥴 they are so focused on not offending anyone that the game is so blank. No spice, no drama, no consequences, no danger, nothing.

They should make an 80s kids pack. As a GEN X player we get completely ignored and I actually have money to spend cause I’m old lol

I forgot how raunchy sims 1 was , man I wish we still had the cages and that vibrating beds 🙃

I agree! The sims series has always included diversity but it was never the entire point and personality of the game until TS4. And that’s why the sims 1-3 are more fun and memorable imo. I miss the better storylines and lore, burglars, and the cake with the strippers lol.

I do agree with you about the high school one it also made it overly positive you of high school without any of the negatives which I can understand if somebody wants to play it that way. But it also kind of makes it boring. There's a mod now that actually adds clicks and some other features. I also still wish we had more of a relationship with our teachers ( and I don't mean romantic or s3xual just like gaining a certain rapport or reputation.) and that they could have added an active career. As well as classroom interactions.

Sims Twitter bothers me massively because of this! Representation is important, but this can be achieved while still recognising the negative and with a little wink-wink-nudge-nudge humour. In fact, it makes it more real. No one’s life is perfect, nor should it be (boring!)

I think this last summit showed they are really trying to get the younger demo (who were those guests??). Which I get, new players and everything. But their player base for the most part seems to be older, and makes me question why they keep trying to appeal to kids. Just let it be a teen and up game, allow the spicy mods and features. We are the ones who can spend money on packs.

i love how you deal with things and how you look at the bigger picture instead of letting people put you down 🍀🌷

I'm an older Sims player, noted, I purchased the first Sims game when it came out and had my own content out there long before Sims2 earthed. Now, while all that earlier stuff is a bit dated, I never really felt as if Maxis/EA was out of touch with it's players until Sims4, when I looked at game play trailers and went wtf is that?? Remember the big deal they made about Bro-this and that, and all that angry pooping? My thoughts was that the creators were trying just a bit too hard to connect with younger generations... This hasn't changed. They still look to be trying too hard.... Look at pronouns, seriously, in a Sims world, wtf is that? Cause Sims just don't use them, at least not in English. They could have quietly removed gender from notifications (I'm not sure if they use it or not, on thinking about it) but otherwise, Sims never cared... they will Hate, Love, Chat, Ignore, and so on, any other sims regardless of most things, there was never an issue and we could use our **** imaginations to create our own scenarios. If anything, I just wish we had more personal control over the game without constantly being prodded to play in any certain way... like with seasons and having to have my Sims constantly disappointed if they don't partake in holidays because I can't have them maybe hate those holidays and love not participating in them. To me, those are bigger issues as far as games go. Noted, I am delighted that I can have so much more control in the physical CAS than before, a prime example where less constraints are better. Who knows, maybe they will have male, female and an option that's neither, so we can be even more creative!

Lmao, just looks at their official Twitter. "I know our game sucks but here's some gay stuff, give us your money for a barely working game"

Idk why we can’t have diversity and fun. I really miss all those quirky things from the old games and sims 4 is boring in comparison. But that’s on EA. There’s absolutely no reason we don’t have a story mode other than they just don't wanna. And how is a burglar more offensive or triggering than Vlad sending you creepy texts and then appearing in your room while you’re asleep? And they could have the burglars be optional. A ton of features in the game can be turned off. The game isn’t ruined because of snowflakes its ruined because EA is too busy trying to figure out how to make the next dollar to actually making a game that’s fun and works properly.

As a 30 year old millennial who played Sims 1 as a child, Sims 2 in my middle school and part of highschool years and Sims 3 during senior and college... when playing sims 4 without mods I feel i am playing a game targeting really young people , like in their 8 to 13s, feels i am playing Tamagotchi, very easy to play, very safe , not spicy at all , yes my age group is not the target of course but they are loosing a huge costumer segment too, also thank you for speaking your mind ! Gen z Karens are wild!

I think the problem is social media. People can't also accept criticism because there is so much criticism and everyone can critique easily.

I believe there is not a "snowflake generation" but instead there are snowflakes in every generation. Just imagine how many grown adults and elderly people I have meet ho are easily offended and with big egos...

Totally agree with you. It has become very much a dumbed down, pick-me-girl of a game where nothing bad ever happens unless you force it. I was 11 and not speaking English when The Sims first came out, yet I could still understand it and play it for hours on end. It's honestly so disrespectful of EA towards older players to treat us like we're dimwits.

I always find it ironic how, when they released Snowy Escape there was that whole shitstorm (you guessed it, on Twitter) about (a small minority of) Korean players feeling like bowing at aa shrine IN THE JAPANESE PACK was insensitive to Korean players because it represents Shinto (which in Japan is literally just normal everyday life, it's not even a religion it's just culture) or like when in the trailer you see a pattern which woke people said it was a reference to the Japanese Imperial flag (and turns out it was just a FAN, LIKE A HAND FAN) and EA RUSHED to remove that function (or rather hide it, the function is still there in the code and there is a mod to get it back) in order to appease the Koreans. What's ironic is that when the pack released, if you go and look at assets like the torii gates around town, you can CLEARLY see the Imperial crest which i would assume is far more of a symbol of Japanese oppression than something like Shinto which is normal, common everyday life in Japan. Anyway, that whole debacle soured me irreparably against the Sims fandom.

It would be nice that instead of making expansion and game packs for everyone, that they would make them for the different ages of players. It seems that the packs are all rated "T" for teens, although most Sims players are adults (and apparently there are parents out there who allow their pre-teen children to play games rated for a higher age group). Here's an idea. How about throwing an "M" rated pack in there once in a while? I miss the drama of the Sims 2 & 3. I miss playing the Sims games where actions have consequences. Take for instance cheating. In the Sims 4 there are practically no consequences for cheating, while in the Sims 2 & 3, not only did your relationship with your significant other take a hit, but your sim's relationships in the community took a hit as well. You could actually lose friendships if other people saw your sim cheating on their spouse/fiance'. You could be labeled as a "cheater" and have problems getting into another relationship because of it. The range of detecting cheating encompassed a larger range than just being in the same room. I had a sim once in the Sims 3, who fell in love with a married sim (totally their idea, not mine). But once the flirtation and attraction became a thing between those two, I had them meet in obscure places where there were no other sims (like you would in real life). Somewhere along the way, the married sim got divorced and left their spouse. I found this out only when, during an interaction, the option for becoming engaged was present. This was all behind the scenes. As I didn't play the married sim, I had no idea that all this other drama had taken place. In this day and age, I have no idea why this is not in the Sims 4. It's not like everything in the real world is perfect and no one cheats and no one gets divorced. For a game that boasts "real life" playing, it really doesn't. Considering it is the parents who buy packs for those too young to afford them on their own, if they were to buy a pack that was rated "Mature," then it is only themselves they have to blame if their precious little ones are exposed to actual real life situations. They would make a lot more money if they catered to older players and made a pack or two just for us. Us, meaning the players who actually have the money, who know how the real world works and would like to play a simulation game that deals with the bad as well as with all of the good.

As a fellow gay Satch says everything that needs to be said💀

We did not even get dog houses or pet stores because of "omg animal cruelty" in a VIRTUAL GAME which just pisses me off.

One very good piece of advice I got was “don’t apologise if you haven’t done anything wrong”. Now I’m not assuming you’re apologising I’m just saying it to anyone who needs to hear it. It a world where everyone gets offended for anything, just because someone claims you have offended them it doesn’t mean you actually did something wrong and should apologise. Most people are nice enough to make up their minds themselves about their behaviour and what is right or wrong.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your content is an absolute breath of fresh air. Too many sims channels are being way too afraid to say anything that might be offensive, and hearing your opinions, especially ones that are so eloquently put, is so refreshing. To me, the people who call people out for “being offensive” (like what you meant with the catfish one) really just pretend to be some savior of the downtrodden. I am 100% convinced white teenage girls are in some sort of competition to see who can become offended on the behalf of minorities more. Representation is absolutely important, but I hate that now I have to wonder if the non-white or non-straight protagonist in the video game is the developers trying to represent more communities, or just trying to get money from those communities. I could go on and on, but genuinely, thank you Satch for not being afraid to say what’s on your mind. I don’t always agree, but I will always appreciate you saying what you mean and not sugarcoating things. Much love 💚

Edit: I forgot third person pronoun and plural pronoun were two different things lol. They is a third person pronoun that can be used in the singular or the plural. They is not just a third person pronoun. We use it in first person all the time when we don't know someone's gender. Like "Oh someone left their coat here. I hope they come back for it." It's a less wordy way of saying something like he/she. Singular they has existed in the English language for a long time.

EA turned sims 4 into just a dress up and building game. I

Satch, I love you and your content because you are so similar to me, it's really refreshing. You are the best Sims content creator IMHO. ❤

Take a shot every time he says "snowflake"

One of my most memorable moments from Sims is the alien pooing on the toilet in one of the Sims 2 games where your Sims walks into their house and this alien yells at them to get the heck out. After the alien is done, the toilet is radioactive. Sims 4 could never. It's things like that making the past games fun for everyone. The shock of what just happened. The moments of Sims walking to the middle of the pool to read books, or running across the ocean/lake to get to work. Which were great glitches lol. Not having the ability to have those moments anymore really sucks. It sucks tht past games had more of "everything" for everyone. It sucks to get my game to even have one of those OMG that just happened LOL 😂 moments you need mods. Yes, random things happen in Sims 4, but those are like getting a C instead of an A.

Since adding the new gender update I am unable to date ANY sim I want. (I know I could use mods...) I think the sims (as you said) was already inclusive enough because I could do that. Now they just ONLY wanna be "friends"... if it ain't broke don't fix it. 🙈🙉🙊

They wont allow burglars in the game anymore because its “too traumatic” yet they let Vladimir break in and bite your neck at 3 am

that part about the gay pride flag is accurate. I'm queer myself and I have nothing against people who are in the community and called themselves queer. Some people see it as a slur which I get, but honestly, if someone was to call me queer as a slur, I don't really care. It reminds me of how there is an updated pansexual flag which I think is very ugly. Apparently, the original flag is problematic, which makes no sense. I'm not pansexual myself but I have read stuff from people who are and don't have a problem with the flag.

Yes it was 100%. That’s why it gets so boring, and I don’t care enough to add all these mods. Sims 2 and 3 is where it’s at.

I saw a video of someone complaining the sims summit didn't have enough diversity. I was confused

They have made sure their is alot of diversity when it comes to sexuality and gender identity, but there is a lack of cultural diversity. I know that part of it is they are afraid of offending people or cultures, but do the research and to show cultural appreciation not just money grabbing.

I respect your opinion Satch, but I really don't think that the sims community being snowflakes are the reason for not having features like burglars for example... I just cannot imagine people getting mad at them if they added a burglar, they just don't care about long time players enough

im confused as to who are those supposed snowflakes, I never seen anyone in my life ever say something in the sims was offensive..what are the features in old sims games that are considered offensive to "woke" people? Imo its simply abt the age rating, to sell more.

I actually miss the scary music when ghost appear from the tomb. This happens only when you have Spell GP.

Im telling you the recent hairstyle drop from DeeSims was the best possible way to diversify. I know you have mentioned EA relying too much on sim influencers but I still argue for its success because it was a personal project and not a gameplay fix, and they literally worked with Dee to make very detailed, quality hairstyles that would actually enrich Sims’ looks instead of adding a ton of generic black hairstyles after seeing some high profile tweets that said there weren’t enough. And most importantly IT WAS ADDED INTO THE GAME FOR FREE

i disagree with the nothing is really offensive thing. things are offensive to different minority groups [like andrew tate and his bs]. the thing is even though it is problematic, not everyone in the group would see the problem. so that’s why there are constantly arguments and stuff. idk if that makes sense. i agree with everything else tho.

The custom pronouns update is my favourite because it literally is only in the english version of the game because it's not a thing anywhere else outside of America 😂

Side note: Volition, the developers of Saints Row, shut down because of the backlash they got after the Saints Row reboot released

Ngl, I like the backhanded pop-ups you would get sometimes. They are very funny imo 😭

What grinds my gears about this whole Sims 4 community is the constant demand that EA "includes more (minority) cultures". There are so many people that ask for very specific cultures to be included, like Thai, Vietnamese, etc. But let's be honest, if you include SOME cultures, there's going to be more and more people that demand THEIR specific culture must also be included and it will ultimately bloat the game. There are MILLIONS of cultures on the planet that do not get enough representation! You cannot include everyone like this, it's simply not feasable. I wish EA would simply make up a small number of fantasy cultures/religions specifically for the Sims. They kind of did this in The Sims Medieval with the Watcher religion. If you still want YOUR specific culture to be in the Sims, there is custom content for it. And if there is not, learn how to make it yourself just like every other CC creator did!

If burglar were for making money opportunity they should have place them in get to work or city living tbh

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THIS TOPIC!

Well that and the Sims is viewed as a kid's game despite the fact that it does have a teen rating.

This is why I like your content

the burglar was my favorite character of the sims!

"sexuality is not something that can be turned on or off in the sims 4" they actually are making an update soon that'll nerf that ahaha. You can choose your sims' sexuality. Though many, and myself, argued that really all it's doing is adding straight people, since sims are all bisexual anyway.

That sims trailer was my LIFE I loved the song 🤣

You just became my favorite sims UKpostsr ! You keep it real keep being your self

You’re a breath of fresh air in this stale and “playing it safe” content sphere.

I love that you made this video and I agree! Although I am a Gen Z player, the sims 3 came out when I was young and a few years later, I started playing it and LOVED it. So much realism and storyline in the game. When the Sims 4 came out in 2014, I REFUSED to buy it until 3-4 years later. They need to bring back burglars, jail, and have a pack or option for more raunchy play. That’s what made the game great. Also, as a kid I did not even understand what was happening in the sims 3, it went way over my head!

Haven't played the high school stuff.. Is there a high school bully? Can you play the bully? If there is no bully is it even highschool lol. Picking paths like being a gossip b*tch, having a best friend, the teacher's pet, climbing the social hierarchy even at the cost of your own integrity sounds like fun gameplay people can relate to for those who went to highschool ages ago to those who are experiencing it now to those yet to do so. The fantasy of conquering(slaying), or completely failing high school life sounds like much better game design approach for a fun experience that'd find appreciation by a wider audience than "TYPE IN PRONOUNS HERE, EVERYONE WILL RESPECT YOU NO MATTER WHAT" and going to a high school where even sharp corners have been smoothened out, so nobody gets offended.

To go along with words that I’m tired of hearing like “slay” is the word “stunning.” People use this word way too much and I’m tired of hearing it. There’s other adjectives that can be used to describe something beautiful rather than “stunning.”

I had a sim try to climb through the teen sneak out window when I ignored him after he knocked at the door. The sim is a clepto. Maybe they did bring burglers back?

EA didn't include burglars in the Sims 4 because people might realize that they are being stolen from every time they buy a pack EA pushed out without fixing the bugs :D I found your breakdown of the trailers really interesting because I thought it was just me. I haven't been playing the Sims 4 in several years now but when the trailer dropped for Discover University I really felt my age - not because I'm old specifically, but because it dawned on me I was on longer the target audience. When the Sims 2 trailer came out I nearly lost my mind - even though it had to be blurred in your video I still can see it like it was yesterday I was in high school when the Sims 1 came out and I miss the silliness, the playfulness, the cake dancers! Sims 4 could never. As always, love your content x

This game was made for people who like to tell stories and have a casual playthrough, hence why it's almost not challenging at all

I feel bad for snowflakes. The real ones that fall from the clouds I mean. Tis' a pity that such a innocent and beautiful thing shares a name with a handful of annoying people Then again, the ice-burg that sank the Titanic began life a a snowflake, and the group we now call "snowflakes" started as a few people... who are leading to the demise of fun things...

Bro literally didn’t even know you romanced Men, just love you as a person and content is amazing. Literally I never see a gay dude who takes no shit and is so captivating with how self aware you are.

If what you said was untrue and people did not want diverse gameplay with all sorts of interactions including negative ones, the modders would not be so popular

I really miss burglars. Sure, I'd always forget to put up an alarm in every new game, and my stomach would sink when I'd hear that music start, and I'd cry 'No! don't steal the toilet! I can't afford to replace it!'. But damn, it was FUNNY. And it was interesting. And now I had to scramble to find money for a new toilet. TS4 just doesn't have that kind of randomness and joy the earlier games had.

I'm an old lady, a grandma actually... I have been playing the sims since the first game came out and I was on bedrest pregnant with my first baby. I miss the old sims with chaos and spicy content. The sims 4 is just stale and boring. No amount of wokeness will ever make it fun, they need to bring back the chaos and spice, then it could be a fun game.

Thank you for making this video!

I hate the constant loading screens and how slow the game can get with mods, but you need cc and mods to even play the game cause it's so boring otherwise.

as a console player. I grew up and loved all the sims from 1 and 2 and their variations. (the urbz was my favorite before 2) played all the handhelds as well. I loved the missions they gave you and the story driven gameplay. I skipped sims 3 when it came out because it became a sandbox freeplay game and got rid of the story mission gameplay and I didn't like it. but now it's Been so long since I've played any sims games I'm fine with playing 4

That why we rely on sacrificial to provide us real tragedies and dramas.

When I used to call the sims 4 a “liberal hellscape” that didn’t mean I hated diversity or progressive ideals. I simply just felt that the game’s atmosphere was as preformative; ineffectual and condescending as the American Democrat party. Simply because the game when I started playing it wanted to look like a inclusive utopia but the black people had very little variation in skin tone. Now I just call it a “Hipster Hellscape” because the game has probably been more proactive with making better changes than the party’s ever been. I really admire the Sim’s 4 dedication to adding diversity, just wish they’d keep this energy up with the actual game mechanics.

This is all so true 💀😭😭😭😭 its so sad 😭😭😭

Yes yes it is and I wish the sims got its spark back 😭

Satch, after watching your content I've realised you would love the game Sims 2 on PSP. I don't know how you are gonna play it, but I would love a series, and I think you would love the story and the gameplay in that game. It is similar to the old style of Sims

I loved this video. It highlights a lot of the issues. I haven't bought high school years for the simple reason I don't really see any substantial game play that justify the price. Gen Z is in high-school now. I hated high school. Why would you want to go home from high school to pretend to go to high school lmao.

Satch makes a lot of videos surrounded by opinions. Which is a brave thing to do on the Internet

Thank you for bringing this up, your videos are so good.

off topic but please play with the cursed mirror mod!

I was thru when they removed savage from werewolves lol

It’s a life sim game and inclusivity should be an obvious aspect. But EA doesn’t understand this and they design/market everything around adding more diversity instead of adding better gameplay. The high school pack doesn’t work because like 3 students show up and half the time they stand there trying to figure out where to go. It feels so incomplete. But EA doesn’t care because they added the words slay and bestie and that’s all that matters now. Other EPs have similar issues. What is the point of a wedding pack if my sims can’t even have a wedding that works?! I had sims die at a wedding from hot weather because they wouldn’t go inside the venue even though it had doors lmao. But EA would rather cater to twitter snowflakes than make the sims packs playable.

the sims 1 is my favorite sims game (purely bc of nostalgia to be fair lmao) and when I was little I thought it was AMAZING that you could have sims date whoever regardless of gender. it was so controversial at the time too. it really felt like they were pushing boundaries, but more recently it's felt like corporate pandering 😅 I also hate that leftists end up focusing our energy on what might be offensive in virtual platforms like video games versus what's actually hindering social reform/change. it's why people(conservatives mostly) say the left is eating itself - we spend way too much energy on stuff that objectively won't solve anything, fighting each other while doing it

I agree with you 100%. Your take is really down to earth. It's an unfortunate situation, EA is putting maximum $$$ over fun or funny gameplay. They're afraid backlash could ruin the game, even though hilarious or inappropriate content could actually make the games much more fun and successful. I don't have much hope for the original sense of humor to come back in Sims 5. I wish, but it's just not likely. I don't know if the cooperative or multiplayer gameplay can make up for it, or if it will complete the trend of the Sims games really only being fun for building.

I'm offended ea won't offend people with good content. 😂

Our beloved Sims game went from being a "Monty Python-Benny Hill" slapstick comedy (Sims 2).... to being a "Friends" dramedy sitcom (Sims 3).... to being a reality tv "Kardashians" pseudo-wokefest. As a Gen-Xer who's fed up with all this hyperbolic drama and the resulting watered down Sims 4 game, I am soooooo ready to wash my hands of it all and dive into something more sane inducing... like Paralives and Life By You. The release dates for those two new life simulators can't come soon enough, as far as I'm concerned. Bye bye EA, thanks for curing me of my 20+ years long addiction.

Thank you! 💜

Youre so bloody real. Being woke is almost like EAs priority rather than make actual fun gameplay.

I love that you speak up about these topics.

I agree with you. The Sims 4 is much too tame, and I hate how hard it is to kill sims, but the more I hear you talk about the differences between each Sims game, the more I feel how appropriate the Sims 4 is for this time. From the time of the Sims to the Sims 3, technology in general still wasn’t all that advanced so people still had some free will and things could get chaotic. The Sims 4 era came and the vibe it gives me is “Big Brother is watching.” Townies know your name, number, and whereabouts, they come to your door for the welcome wagon as if compelled to do so; Strangerville townies are actually possessed though they might as well all be. The Mother plant is Big Brother.

Once again I just agree with you. Thanks for having your own opinions and sticking by them.

You ate that. I agree with everything u said.

I certainly agree. I feel like Gen Z is so consumed by woke culture that they’re making everything bland and uninteresting. I am saying this as an older Gen Z, so I can hate on my own generation. They have created this environment where you constantly have to pick out the problem as if they want people to know or see that they are woke. “See guys I called him racist for making the white sim the attractive one! See guys, I am woke, I’m not racist!” Like they need to do this to fit into society. I think a lot of companies fall for this crap because they feel it’s a larger audience than it really is. I myself, am very left leaning, however, people do take woke culture too far. Big companies, especially EA, have catered to this culture and used it for their own profit. Most of these woke kids don’t see the shallow, exploitation of the LGBTQ+ community with constant ways to appear woke, like new pride flags every other update, or the gender pronoun updates. Like you said, the sims was always inclusive, we didnt need a gender pronoun update to finally make gay sims. This generation is causing a severe decline in inclusivity with their woke ness. They think they’re inclusive, but if you’re white, male, straight, then you’re not allowed in their society. It’s pretty sad honestly.

I'm on a not-so-graceful journey to break away from my high-emotion, snowflake past 💃

as for the "Sims has always been woke" argument, Sims has always been liberal but it wasn't ever woke, it was a life sim where you could do what you wanted with your own characters, woke would be the snowflake generation as you say, you can see it in the marketing, they want the appeal to the people who actually give a shit about black-white trans lesbian relationships and not to people who just... want to play the game, I mean for such a wacky game you think they would realize that being both wacky and only showing fat ugly lesbians would be... somewhat negative? I love sims 3 because it was perfect, I don't mind "woke" shows if they can be done right, like Doom Patrol, it has a character with DID, something modern tiktokers love to fake, but its an actual extreme of that and makes it her character in a good way, they made a superhero gay, but that aids his story, they have a whole ass they/them character, but its a goddamn town, bricks don't got gender. Tl;dr, there's woke, liberal, and progressive, and most old properties fall into the latter two. Edit: For the saints row reboot thing, the OG game was diverse, the main cast was an asian, hispanic, black, and white guy for the first game, than the second was a black guy, a hispanic(?) woman, and another black guy with tons of diverse gang members, however the diversity was simply the fact it was a city, and the gang members, where gang members. Look at the new saints row cast, you got just the most "Hello fellow kids" crew out there, they look woke as well, woke people have a very obnoxious and bright style, they also have a really weird fascination with making spanish characters speak both spanish and english interchangeably which is annoying but once more. tl;dr saints was liberal, not woke.

It's not just an EA problem but the entire entertainment industry. Unfortunately the Snowflake are the ones that "scream the loudest" and therefore the industry believes that it is a reflection of what the majority wants. TS4 had a bad conception due to the failure of Simcity, EA could have delayed the release date but preferred to sell it even though it was incomplete, then they tried to make people happy through free updates but this was not enough due to the low quality of the packs they made . So they started riding the Snowflakes wave, however this was just a simple front as bugs continued to grow in the game.

I think this commentary would have been ever better if you had expanded snowflakes beyond just "the wokes". You touched on a bit when noting the outrage and bans because of The SIms commendable inclusivity with queerness, but skipped right over that that outrage is snowflaking too! Conservatives and older folked can definitely be considered snowflakes, as it's not just one generation or political group that can be described as snowflakes.

1 year later and I am cracking up because they literally just “updated” the pride flag with some strange umbrella thing. I can only imagine what the next one will be, just look into a kaleidoscope and you will probably see it.

If those people on TikTok had spared a few seconds looking at your other videos they wouldn’t have started assuming things and accusing you of being racist 😭✋ (like if all your videos had the poc as “unattractive” then that would be racist but that wasn’t the case 💀)
