This trailer is really bringing out the bigots, especially in the YouTube comments. It sucks that the gaming community, literally based on having fun, can be so toxic

I'm at work and can't watch the trailer. What is even there to be bigoted about?

It's a woman main character in the trailer. Some loud, annoying gamers have a problem with that. Also that she isn't super conventionally sexy, and is a representation of an average woman. And some people are calling her trans and not in a pro LGBT way.

Someone here made a comment about sweet baby inc, which is a company that works with game studios to help encourage diversity, which is apparently the end of the world for the people who call everything new "woke" unironically

I hope we would be able to choose our main character though.

I played the first two games, and I watched the trailer.

What are the bigots whining about?

-oh look, there's one down below in the comments. I'll ask them.

Edit: I asked 'em, but I received no answers. One called me a slur, but I'm not sure what else I was expecting.
