It also discounts the other ethical issues we were grappling with. If we are going to talk ethics, are we just going to forget what companies like EA or Blizzard and such have done?

Lost me on the last bullet point. Saying we can't address any issue without addressing every issue is an effective way of getting nothing addressed.

It's like saying "all lives matter". Yes, all issues matter, but this just derails the conversation instead of letting them have their own space to be discussed.

    To clarify some, I meant these older sins have fallen out of consumers' attention because of the attention on generated assets. It shouldn't. That context is important.

    IMO it would be inconsistent to loudly boycott some indie dev over (say) some diffusion generated assets, then turn around and buy an Activision or EA game in the same breath. That kind of purist absolutism isn't productive; the larger context matters.
