I mean, I remember the PS1 era. Drag and somewhat-fleshed-out female characters and anticapitalism weren't exactly high on the list of common occurrences in games. It wasn't 'just done', the Final Fantasy series from 6 onward were outliers (or trailblazers, if you prefer), and highly praised for presenting comparatively full and varied worlds.
I feel you about tokenism being shit, but the situation nowadays is... not a step back from how it used to be. It used to be much worse.
Shit... Did I romanticize the past? Fuck... I'm getting old. You are right about that... That's how it begins, innit? Next, I'll start sentences with "back in my day".... Oh dear... Why do I feel the need to buy a useless sports car?
Kids today! Get off my damn lawn!
