Post examples of oddly progressive-minded details in /vr/ games that caught your attention: empowered female main characters, respectful or at least well documented cultural representation, shit like that.

For example, Mick & Mack Global Gladiators is supposed to be about environmentalism (if barely) and by default you play as Mick -the black kid-- you need to go to the options menu to switch to Mack.

Mods: I realize the potential for hilariously conditioned disaster this thread poses, but let's give it a chance ok? I'm legitimately curious about the topic.

Ah yes. "Based" Doug that removed the cussing in the reedition of one of his actually good books to scrape for the chance of marginally bigger audience. *Extremely* redpilled.

Paper Mario TTYD had a pretty sympathetic portrayal of a trans person in Vivian, at least in the Japanese version. There are also plenty of famous games where you fight Nazis

I guess the thread could be salvaged with like "first black character featured in a video game" or shit like that.

Was konami track & field the first game to feature a playable black man?

What's progressive about it?

I have a better question, does progressive have any meaning?

That's the best dirt you can dig up on Doug? Kek, reach harder tranny.

Also swearing is lame, good on him for improving the script in his book.
