Star Wars Outlaws ‘Bad Faith’ Discourse ‘Not Worth Engaging With’, Says Creative Director

As a long-time gamer and an advocate for diversity in video games, I wholeheartedly stand by Ubisoft Massive’s Creative Director, Julian Gerighty. The criticism leveled at Kay Vess in Star Wars Outlaws is not only unnecessary but also disappointingly regressive.

Ever since Ubisoft Massive unveiled their upcoming game “Star Wars Outlaws” last year, there has been unwarranted criticism about the appearance of protagonist Kay Vess. The game’s Creative Director, Julian Gerighty, acknowledges these comments but considers such unconstructive discussions as not worth responding to.

According to Gerighty, Kay is designed to be easy to relate to, a small-time crook who careens through the narrative, often making poor choices but with plenty of humor, modesty, and grit. What truly matters, he emphasized. And let’s not forget, she’s also stunningly attractive, he added. This was shared with The Washington Post (as reported by GamesRadar).

As a gamer, I often notice the harsh criticism directed towards certain lead female characters, like Kay Vess, who are labeled as ‘unattractive’. This seems to be part of a broader online trend where comments demean female characters, particularly those who don’t conform to the typical beauty standard. These characters are often deemed not attractive enough according to these narrow beauty paradigms. It’s disheartening to see this pattern persist in our gaming community.

In simpler terms, Gerighty stated that it’s confusing and not beneficial to interact with such individuals. Engaging with dishonest people often leads to misunderstandings and prevents genuine conversation. Therefore, our only option is to focus on creating the best experience we can.

In the same vein of controversy, Ubisoft is facing discussions related to their game ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’, where they’ve included the historical figure Yasuke, a black samurai from the Sengoku period. However, Ubisoft has made it clear in their Assassin’s Creed subreddit that there is no room for debate on whether or not Yasuke was indeed a samurai, asserting that he was one.
