    Goldiggers are both men and women. Love scams are perpetrated by men all the time, especially online. Creating a game about golddiggers is useful, making it all about women only is sexist and dangerous.

      Idk man, I think you neither looked at the statistics, nor lived that long on this world. While true, it is extreme to only have one side of the coin, the other side is just not as likely by statistics…

      In the end… it’s a game? I mean, I guess I grew up to live with rifles and walk with a switchblade while going to the store. And expect all women to be scantily clad mages walking with staves and high heels.

      Why? Most violent games have protagonists and antagonists that are full of men, with no women.

    Yep, Lemmy feels more like Reddit every day.

    (not the cool Reddit that had news, fun, and information - The sad post-Spez reddit with meaningless feeds, dystopia and incels)

    But yeah, really. Some top-tier World News here…
