What do you mean by diversity?
It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

Gus Tarballs ( old man)
Vicky (mechanic) and Vicky had a close friend a nurse
Ivan and Igor ( russian)

Well the game(s) i mentioned are loaded with POC , i dont know about LGBT but the doctor that friends with Vickey ( POC) and the nurse is white .... so they have something .

As for more POC many games are loaded with POC: white black yellow (green, orange in the magic games)

Anyway i always read the abilities of character in computer game i dont choose based on color, only on skills, and the game character that has the best ones will be chosen.

Does the game have freedom? That's the question. Then you can have anything.

Um, LGBT people and POC always existed...We may simply have used different words then.

Yes, the game does have people in it. And since women are also people, it does, also, have people in it. Same goes for POC and LGBT. They're all people... And tall the people possess skin color.

In Encased you can meet all kinds of people and you can also create a wide variety of characters.

barf
depends on the type of diversity you mean, if you mean the new age bullshit... then sadly yes.
but mostly it can be ignored.

it pushes the lgbtxyzlol plus plus bullshit, again mostly it can be ignored since you have to have a way for people to refer to you as a male/female... thank god they did not try to do the they them it shit.

There is a huge difference between a desire and a need. Why do you 'need" this?
Is English your native language?
What is your chronological age?

All fiction relies upon the audience to suspend disbelief.

The idea that persons with highly divergent backgrounds, values, cultures and social/economic class would share a common goal or collaborate/communicate in an effective manner is highly implausible.

While there are rare exceptions, nature itself dictates conformity and exclusivity. Dogs and cats do not form groups together to go hunting for mice. Hawks and chickens do not peacefully peck around the ground together, looking for seeds to eat. While there are rare occasions of parasitism or collaboration, for the most part, in nature, like keeps to like. It is a survival trait.

If you travel to another nation, enter a shop, and try to pay with currency from your nation, are you going to get upset when the shop owner refuses to accept your money?
Would you be justified in using force to get him to take your money?

What is "normal" and "valuable" is up to each individual to judge, and each individual has the right to reject YOUR definition of what is "normal" or "valuable".

If you wish to be free from violence, if you wish to be tolerated, you must give up violence yourself. You must not use politics to force others to include you against their will. You have the right to be left in peace, but not the right to be included.

People should be free to deviate from the norm, so long as they are willing to be accountable, to accept the consequences of their choices. One of those consequences is that some people won't want to associate with you.

Well constructed SF (speculative fiction) functions like a scientific experiment. If we keep all other conditions normal, then introduce one unlikely element, what would be the logical consequences?

Poorly constructed SF is a hodgepodge of contradictory elements with little or no contextual logic.

Let's take Iron Man, for example. A wealthy white industrialist isn't hard to imagine or believe. We have the examples of Elon Musk and Bill Gates. Whites have a heritage of wealth and education.

Twisting that story to make Iron Man, or even Batman, a black, however, stretches credulity to the breaking point. This would require the creation of an alternate universe in which the entire history of blacks in America were different. Economics, culture, politics. You'd have to re write centuries of real history.

Or, simply postulate an alternate universe in which a hidden pocket of blacks in Africa somehow invented advanced technology without ever having contact with Arab mathematics, Greek philosophy, German physics, British navigation, etc. Wakanda. A nice fantasy, perhaps, but it leaves too many questions unanswered.

Poorly constructed fiction insults the intelligence of the audience. The crew of a star ship just coincidentally is entirely made up of physically sexy twenty year olds? In the real world, is the captain of an aircraft carrier a twenty year old male model? Then how/why is this the case when star ships are common?

If you're suddenly going to introduce characters with traits that don't reflect reality, you have to justify it.
There factually are minorities, and the likelihood of there being lots of them in any given context is low. Sure, make a movie like Glory, and then it makes sense for all the soldiers to be black males. But idiotic to insist that the movie has to make half of the soldiers white females so that the movie won't be "sexist and racist". And, yes, I'm aware that there were cowboys and soldiers who hid their gender, pretending to be men. This doesn't disprove my point.

If a black performer objectively is the most highly qualified to sing and act the role of Cinderlla, contrasted to white applicants, sure, cast her in that movie. But to cast her in order to shove a political/social agenda down the throat of the audience is absurd.

What if a producer chose to make Black Panther a white guy under the mask, in order to "promote diversity"? How would you feel about that?

The fact is, homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end.
It cannot become "mainstream" because that would be literally suicidal for the human race. I'm not saying that there can't be a gay protagonist, but this attempt to normalize everything for the sake of politics is idiotic.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote, "all men are created equal" he was refuting the concept known as the "Divine Right of Kings", the idea that the right to rule is an accident of birth. Jefferson owned slaves, and did not consider blacks or females equal to whites. According to the objective evidence available to him at that time, he was correct.

Value is not intrinsic to a person or a thing. Your value resides within the person you are dealing with. If they do not want what you have to offer, your estimation of yourself is irrelevant.

By all means, if you believe someone's valuation of you is incorrect, prove them wrong by achieving worthwhile tangible things.

Using politics to force others to place a value on you that they do not believe in is inherently futile.
