Developers shouldn't be required to do whatever you think is best for society.
I don't really care about the rest, figure it out without resorting to censorship.

No, no. You just don't fucking get it do you? Is it really that hard to imagine that an SJW wanting to insert braindead tumblr politics into a game this fucking badly in a way that means nothing for gameplay or story doesn't give a shit about video games and just wants to obsess over gender bullshit every waking hour? There is some asshole working with them that actually prioritized something that nobody gives a shit about and ultimately is as annoying as painting goddamned bedroom pink for no reason. It doesn't matter if this doesn't affect the game. It doesn't matter if this doesn't affect the very next game. It's a sign of bad things to come sooner or later. This is the sound of a dev studio dying, because somebody can't be restrained from forcing their obnoxiousness on everyone else.

What artstyle change? What happened?

830672 seems to be of the opinion that Social Justice tacks in gaming are fine so long as those developers don't impinge on non SocJus ones. However, since this never happens, if he doesn't retaliate against them then he's doing the right thing. Which ultimately is all that matters for him, a moral victory aligned with his beliefs. If he could never make a game again due to this issue but did not impinge on those against him from doing so, then he feels that he has "won" and it's an acceptable tradeoff to the not-making-games thing.

I don't agree with that viewpoint though, since meritocracy only exists in a stable society; currently and for the last 3-4 years it's been anything but.
