If all the characters in games were people that you couldn't relate to and that you don't feel represented by, you wouldn't like that, no? You would complain. Rightfully so.

So why are other people not allowed to also complain if they are not represented in games? Why is that bad?

This does not mean they want to ban certain games. It is often not even about pushing devs to create more diverse characters though that would be great but just to create awareness how certain beauty standards and ideas of normality are recreated and enforced in media.

Embracing that people are different is something that is good for everyone. There will always be a Stellar Blade but there could be also so much more.
