A video game series that is marketed to children is coming under attack for its recent update allowing characters to have double mastectomy scars and chest binders.
“Vadish, we love it!” the official Twitter account for Xbox wrote, alongside a heart emoji.
“Vadish” also means “thank you” in “Simlish,” the made-up language that “Sims” characters use to communicate.Gaming website Kotaku also praised “The Sims 4” for reaching out to disabled Simmers. “There are also medical wearables, such as glucose monitors and hearing aids, which makes The Sims 4 all more inclusive for the disability community as well. It’s good s–t.”
This is not the first foray into sexual politics that “The Sims,” one of the most popular video game series in the world, has made. In May 2022, “The Sims 4” issued an update to the game that allowed players to select “they/them” pronouns for non-binary characters.
