I'll be honest, I didn't (and won't) watch further than the interview, but doesn't the notion that videogames are offensive to women contradict the fact that women today are more drawn towards video games than males are? Doesn't it just imply that feminists, not women, are offended by video games?


I reckon she doesn't play video games either tbh.



Also, I'm not arguing that video games are/aren't sexist, just reckon she's chatting grease.

Actually she argues to leave stuff alone and that people like Anita are just opportunists. It's actually a good video.

Well in the end it's all up to the consumer base isn't it ?


Bioware has already taken into consideration the opinions of the "SJWs" (fucking hate that word) with Mass Effect 3 and tried to break the taboo of homosexuality/Transexuality in video games with the player's choices

But then again some argued that Shepard's sexual orientation is just stardust and that they should have spent more time on the gameplay mechanics and that horrible ending.

Bioware handles relationships, romance and sex in the most basic shitty ways though. It's like 2 conversations in their game and then cheesy sex scene.

Plus that whole Dorian "First fully gay character" ad campaign for Dragon Age Inquisition was just cringe worthy.

Is that really what it is though? I struggle to imagine game developers going out of their way to be homo/trans-phobic like that.
