Upon learning about the upcoming patches... (Patreon)

I'm seriously thinking about stopping playing the sims completely. With all the pseudo-social bullshit going on about it (I mean complaining about representation, complaining about gender issues, complaining about other million of things that have no place in game and maxis moving to address these issues, wasting time working on useless and pointless features such as updating premades and the pronouns patch) the game isn't only not fun any more, but also not worth investing money on any more.
I'll keep updating mods, by updating the game on my laptop but I can't assure new mods will come out any time soon because I'm currently disgusted by the game to even try and play it (I plan on stopping the updates and keeping it only to complete Crossing, something I want to finish writing and that, sadly, relies on the game).
Now I want to give the community who likes to fight for social justice and pat themselves on the back for their great achievements a little reality check:
The total of the Sims 4 players amount to 35 million. This number may seem huge but...
The total of US citizens is 333 million, Sims 4 players are 10.49% of US citizen, spread across the world.
If we look at the total population of the world, that's 7.9 billion, of which the Sims 4 players are the 0.44%.
Fighting for social justice isn't helping anyone, nor is making a huge amount of people aware of some problems, especially because that 0.44% is probably already aware of those problems to begin with.
You're not changing shit for anyone. At all.
In case some of these warriors are actually up to invest their energies into something really meaningful instead of putting themselves on high ground for fighting pixel social justice, here are a series of real issues worth giving a look:
