During a game's development, narrative consultants will be hired by studios to help with fleshing out or tweaking narrative elements, Kenney said. "Narrative consultants do not get final say," Kenney reiterated. "It doesn't get into the game if we [as the developer] don't approve it.

"They consult. They do research, pitch ideas, give feedback, and maybe even write scripts. But none of that gets into the game unless the core dev team agrees with it. I'm going to keep saying that, because it's key. Sweet Baby is not, nor is any consulting group, coming in to wreck games. They're helping smooth out plots and deepen characters. They ease the burden on the core narrative team. They're additive in every way."

You know what, if that inclusion was done in a way that makes sense for the game and the lore then I don't have a problem. But we have saw time and time again that they do it to have the "See me, I really care about the problem" type of thing. And I say this as an integrant of the same minorities this companies try to gain support. We don't need a forced bullshit like this, we need just normal things and a normal inclusion without makes feel forced or unwanted.
