The mere fact that these guidelines would automatically disqualify something like Crusader Kings - where a mostly white, mostly male, mostly christian selection of characters is based not on prejudice, but on historical accuracy - says all you need to know about how royally fucked these guidelines are.<br><br>Also, news flash: BECAUSE of prejudice and various isms, the vast majority of events in the past 500 years of human history that actually mattered have been carried out by white men.  Thus, by conjuring up diversity that absolutely did not exist at the time, YOU are the ist.  The very reason why we still have an ongoing struggle for equality now is precisely because it did not exist before.  To pretend that there were more than a small handfull of black/female/minority figures of real historical significance since the time of the Enlightenment is itself a blatant disregard of the struggle of the very minorities you claim you want to help.<br><br>tl;dr stop forcing diversity.  Make new, real history where black people, women, and other minorities actually are important players, and then you don't have to lie and cheat to make video games celebrating their accomplishments.<br><br>And before someone tears me a new asshole: I am not saying there has never been an important black person or woman in all of history.  Cleopatra redrew the world, Mohammad Ali redefined sport, and Lyudmila Pavlichenko remains one of the most badass humans to ever walk the earth to this day.  My point is that for every Cleopatra or Ali, there are a dozen or a thousand white men who accomplished equal or greater things.  To shit on them just to raise these comparatively few examples of minority greatness up is the height of racism and sexism and you should be ashamed.  Instead, work towards the betterment of minorities not at the expense of white men, but alongside them.  That's what real equality is.<br><br>And it is super fucking depressing that I even had to say that last part.  This shit made so much more sense when the likes of MLK and Jane Fonda were in charge.  <b>sigh</b>
