Which is important; quality or diversity?/Is being historically accurate offensive to some people?/Is putting race and sexism into every discussion, media and art is "politically correct"?

  In my personal opinion, both of them are very important. Recently, the video game industry has become more diverse than ever. Not only the women's social progress, people from all over the country has been supporting video game industry. 

 Games that has many characters such as Apex Legends and Overwatch, all of them are from different country, has different sex, religions and it is very diverse. Of course the diversity in gaming is a good thing, but not everything is good.

 A good example is Witcher 3 incident. The game was criticized because all the character in the game was white. However, the Witcher 3 is set in Poland, created by Polish man and it is based on Polish mythology and European Folklore. So criticizing that there is no Black or Asian character in Witcher is an mistake because that is the culture and the demographic in the game. You don't have to put colored skinned character in the game if it doesn't make sense. Putting race and sexism into every game even though it doesn't make any sense won't make the videogame good.

For these reasons, quality and diversity are both important, but the balance between the two is we really need to think about.

Any examples of people who are for/against PC?

  Since this blog will mainly be about PC in subcultures, the most famous PC person has to be Anita Sarkeesian. She is a Canadian-American feminist media critic and public speaker. She made a video series examining gender tropes in video games using crowdfunding. Sarkeesian was targeted by an online harassment campaign after the launch of a Kickstarter project to fund the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series.   Also another famous person who are for PC in the gaming society is Neil Druckmann, the director of "The Last of Us part 2". He was also criticized by many gamers since he cited Anita as an influence.   On the other hand, Youtuber "The Act Man" posted few videos criticizing PC and SWJ in video games.
