So if this game scored lower and was criticized more for this aspect you would be fine with it existing and potentially having a sequel with the same content?
How did you get that out of "it's past time that we have and uphold a higher standard for creative works in this medium"? I'm not suggesting that, nor am I even suggesting that P5 or other works get low scores solely for having discriminatory attitudes. But should they be lauded as the best games of the year for having these damaging attitudes? What I'm saying is that these awards are a barometer for the level of acceptance, or I should say the level of tolerability, in the industry for these attitudes as long as the game is still good.
This is not just a rhetorical question I'm posing. I'm calling everyone to account, including myself. We need to stop giving studios who produce this kind of content the message that it's okay to continue producing it. If you had a gay son or daughter who is struggling with their identity and place in the world, would you want them playing a game that tells them that the core of their sexual identity is repulsive and a joke? It's counter to everything that I believe is positive about games as an art form.
