White victimhood? Care to elaborate on that?

Not really, but using a word that has been part of the AAVE for a century to cry "censorship" is kind of distasteful, wouldn't you say?

Censorship is not applicable to private business.

Nobody is a victim here, there simply are no weapons in a civilian sim in which they do not apply, are not necessary, and go against the spirit of the simulator.

And the 90% default female pilots? No chance to choose without entering in config, and I don't see blondes avatars. 

Absolutely nothing I fly has a female avatar pilot. Am I not looking closely enough? Where are they all?

But why Matt? Even if there are weapons in the sim no one will die. It's just virtue signalling for a reason I can't understand. Been playing The Witcher 3 Next Gen. Those swords and crossbows are quite something!

It was a wise decision to lock the first thread on this. To open up a new one and let it run this long - not so much.

Woke, it seems, was coined to express "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination", which most would agree is a good thing.

However, it has become an insult in the way that it has been used in this topic and is well and truly into the realms of politics.

There really is no context within these forums where the term "woke" could be appropriate, in fact, it would be a good candidate for inclusion in the Word Filter.

Have a read of Wikipedia on the subject.

You're comparing this to a game with a 18+ age rating. Anyway, this thread seems to be getting out of hand now.

There's no such thing as virtue signaling, only those offended by compassion.

Yes. That could be it.

The absence of white blondes avatars in MSFS it is not discrimination?

But it isn't compassion. It's group think.

Everyone’s had a good say on this. Time to draw a line I think.
