Isn't it racist and sexist to presume that women and POC won't play a game just because it's made by white men? How is that relevant? Is anyone else concerned over this kind of overt, casual, anti-white racism and misandry that has become socially acceptable as of late?

Yes, for one I am concerned. Not so much for myself but for the future of my little boy

Don’t be disingenuous. It’s almost exclusively played by mostly white (and some Asian) men, often on the spectrum. And you know this is true and that it isn’t sexist or racist to point it out.

"almost exclusively played by mostly white (and some Asian) men, often on the spectrum."

you have the demographic data to back that up? I'd hate to accuse you of talking out of your ass.

That's not the point. The point is the disingenuous, and sadly socially acceptable, argument that something is bad/wrong because it is made by men or white people
