You are bordering on a surpemacist argument because you are collectivizing and stereotyping by an immutable trait. "X" group is better/superior at "Y" through causation. Iscah has a big right of it, conflating causation with correlation is a problem.

And even when you do this, you back peddle a bit by undercutting your initial point by saying that "It is slight and not a significant advantage". Which seems to indicate that either the data itself is inconclusive due to lack of sample size or some other factor, its correlation and not causation, or that the advantage isnt even worth mentioning because it has no statistical importance or bearing on any discussion. This brings up the obvious question of "If its not important or so statistically small to be irrelevant, why even bring it up and phrase in the manner you did? Why does it even matter in this discussion?"

Then why are you even bringing this up if its case by case. Furthermore, this is literally the "Gay men are more emotional" Trope. You are talking again in terms of collectivism about very subjective concepts and phrasing it (at best) poorly.

Lets take this and apply it to the discussion: Are gay men not being accurately depicted then if the gay character in the game is more emotionally closed off?
