The Great Diverse Protagonists of 2016 - The Lobby

@garywood69: Here's your example, where diversity means advocating for more men in a predominantly female occupation. You can find similar pushes to have more gender diversity, specifically men, in fields such as primary school teaching, cosmetics, fashion, and many other historically female dominated fields. Unfortunately, due to a lingering cultural bias favoring men in professional fields, there is more ground to be made for the sake of women (particularly speaking as somebody who works in a STEM field where my colleagues are overwhelmingly male), which s likely why you don't see men diversity for the sake of men. I think it's important to point out that the objectives for programs that are specifically trying to advocate for women and minorities never purposefully include discrimination against white men.

Human video game protagonists have been predominantly white men because, historically, that has matched the primary customer base for gamers. The gaming community is tremendously more diverse than it was even a decade ago, and with that, I think its understandable that developers would try to exemplify diversification in their games. Diversity is a two-way street. I think we all benefit from exposure to different backgrounds.
