Ardent Tetris fans everywhere have today picked up their e-pitchforks and accused developers of pushing political messages and forced diversity in the popular game franchise after a player did not receive a straight block in 14 moves.

Philip Baird, a 36-year-old IT worker and part time semi-professional Tetris streamer, tweeted at the developers expressing extreme disdain and disappointment over the changes in the game.

“I needed one straight block to beat my personal best,” the tweet began. “Not a single one in 14 turns. This forced diversity being shoved down our throats is ruining the game we all love.”

Quickly picking up steam, the tweet went viral, being shared across the internet safe havens for gamers including on Reddit’s various gaming related boards.

A picture of the tweet with the title “More forced diversity incoming guys” shot straight to the top of r/all with over 30k upvotes.

“What’s next, having to choose your gender at the start of a game? It’s Tetris for god’s sake!” the top comment read.

A Tetris developer chimed in explaining how RNG controlled what blocks came down next and it had nothing to do with pushing a message, however the comment was downvoted to -5000.

Baird was quick to clarify he isn’t homophobic, he just isn’t interested in the Tetris blocks showing off their sexuality in video games.

The irony of the situation had everyone in the Aimbot Media office laughing, as Baird’s display picture was of an anime girl in a sexually suggestive pose.
