Yeah true, a lot of games do pull punches when it comes to showing that sort of thing. Witcher 3 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided come to mind, where you're ostensibly playing a persecuted minority but they're still massive power fantasies where you can basically do what you want, it's kinda jarring.

The Elder Scrolls is wild because there's all these huge historical race wars and feuds but then you play the games and 95% of the time it'll be a Nord, his Dunmer wife, a Khajiit and an Orc co-owning a brewery or whatever together and vibing. Guess it's almost heartwarming in weird way.

As far as I know they don't really have a formal obligation to, they're ultimately a private market research company with several large corporate shareholders (including BlackRock, disconcertingly) rather than any transparently regulated thing. It's anecdotal of course but I was morbidly curious enough to sign up for yougov a while ago and noticed I was getting selected for way fewer surveys after I'd put down my politics as left leaning.

I dunno, I could be being a crank but I'm distrustful of a lot of polling in general - I've seen 'legitimate' polling companies a few years ago talking about how 4/5 people would vote for a new centrist party if it emergenced which is definitely not true lmao

While I'm sure a lot of the UK public do support the plan and that is sickening, it's worth considering that you have to go out of your way to sign up to be given surveys on yougov, meaning it tends to attract law and order perverts with delusions of grandeur.

Still lowkey mad that they half arsed R3make, I liked what there was but it felt so short and sparse compared to RE2R.

Kate Bush was born in 1958, meaning that she actually is a boomer by definition, albeit on the younger end of the generation. stuff
