Love how people think gamers hate female main characters but those same people get mad at gamers liking characters like Lara Croft.
I’ve literally never seen someone get mad because a regressive liked a diverse PC. It’s always people upset that there are diverse PCs to begin with, lashing out at people celebrating representation.
I’m not sure if it’s what they’re referencing, but regressives get yelled at for liking female characters all the time: when they’re objectifying them.
Like with Lara Croft, “hey, give her big tits and short shorts back!1” gets pretty obvious pushback almost every time it’s seriously stated. It’s not like she’s ever been portayed as remotely ugly.
To be fair, most male characters have equally unrealistic looks. They’ve got more muscle in their necks than I got in my calf and can take gunshots to the face and lose 5 hp. Not that objectification and sexualization of women in games are not real issues though.
I can’t believe he would say that! I am literally shaking rn
I always thought it was Karl “Cultural” Marx who said this
Remember when “Gamegate” was still a protofascist reactionary movement recruiting boys to both victims of grifting and alienation, and victimizers of others?
I was admittedly more conservative days, but even then I was always really confused about how it wasn’t a dog whistle.
Don’t even remember the affair or whatever shit that initiated it but once I heard 'ethics in gaming journalism’s I didn’t know what the fuck anyone was talking about
goes for movies too
