anyway the goal of activision blizzard isn't to tell interesting stories or make good art but to produce highly-optimized fandom bait which manages to target as broad of an audience as possible with as little investment necessary from the relevant team, i just personally find it to be a repugnant approach to storytelling is all
like this would only work IN THEORY if you then went and hired writers whose identities at least somewhat matched the identities you defined
hand them over to your straight white male writing team to try to build something out of??
activision blizzard's tool is horribly broken and simply will not work for its intended purpose because the way it attempts to model diversity (as a flat metrical unidirectional deviation from a norm) does not in any way actually model diversity
BUT EVEN IF IT WORKED, like, you have all these diverse characters, what do you do now?
a lot of fans want a legend of zelda movie without understanding how absolutely horrible that would actually be
i have probably talked about cishet women authors as a group at some point relatively recently
