From the article:
“Play is an integral part of human evolution and learning,” she says, mentioning that this is a topic she covers in her book. “Gaming, being the most refined form of play in our time, has much to offer.

The elusive Nazi on Lemmy. How funny.
I can’t fathom how fragile your self identity as “white man” must be, if the inclusion of non white people and women in video games is somehow this upsetting to you. I bet you’re one of those people who cry about wokeism on the Steam forums.
Black Girl Games is one of several consulting companies that promote more diversity in games and other media. Not to exclude white people completely.
Let’s see what we can agree on here, please stop me when you disagree with my statement.
Racism still exists and is a problem in the world today
The best tool we have against racism is knowledge and exposure to other cultures and ethnicities
Having more than two or three AAA games with a main character that is a minority will give gamers that first hand experience with the represented culture
Therefore, more representation is good for combating racism and as an extra benefit is giving more diverse worlds/stories to play
There are still a metric buttload of games with white main characters or character creators that let you be white
Minorities will be happy to see themselves represented
Diversity is not the enemy, and companies are trying to level the playing field, not erase white people
