I've said this before, but I don't care about what agendas or messages or whatever else is in or perceived to be in media. I literally don't care. Overwatch characters were compelling and exciting. Concord characters were boring and completely lifeless. I don't care about anything beyond that.
This might be shocking to some who are inclined to notice every time a non-white, non-male, non-hetero, non-attractive character is in a game and needs to evaluate the "appropriateness" of it. But I don't notice it. At all. I notice if the gameplay is compelling. If the world is lively and well-established. If the writing and dialogue are good. If the characters are likeable and interesting. I have to see some self-important blowhard yelling about it on YouTube or read the bickering on here before I even think about it. Then I get annoyed that people waste so much time arguing this nonsense back and forth. Or, more to the point, I get annoyed at myself that I wasted time watching or reading it.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
