I was admittedly more conservative days, but even then I was always really confused about how it wasn't a dog whistle.
Don't even remember the affair or whatever shit that initiated it but once I heard 'ethics in gaming journalism's I didn't know what the fuck anyone was talking about
Fun Lenin fact: he actually got mummified because of the worldwide King Tut craze that was going on at the time as the result of the discovery of his tomb. Even Pravda ran frequent articles about it, and after Lenin died in 1924 the Soviets cashed in on it and mummified him - in a remarkable amateurish fashion, since nobody had been mummified in Russia for centuries prior.
I've literally never seen someone get mad because a regressive liked a diverse PC. It's always people upset that there are diverse PCs to begin with, lashing out at people celebrating representation.
I'm not sure if it's what they're referencing, but regressives get yelled at for liking female characters all the time: when they're objectifying them.
Like with Lara Croft, "hey, give her big tits and short shorts back!1" gets pretty obvious pushback almost every time it's seriously stated. It's not like she's ever been portayed as remotely ugly.
