And this is why I want nothing to do with "gamer" "culture"

You mean skip the whole game?

Just finished this (well episode 1) and if you loved the old Broken Sword 1 and 2. Get this, you will feel right at home. It's absolutely lovely to play and I'm glad i kickstarter'ed it. The only bad thing is now I can't wait till episode 2!

Now I will continue to cry, knowing that Fallout 4 is never coming out.

What about the misogynistic gatekeeper? The ones that go around calling "fake gamer girl!" everytime they can't score with a girl that likes games.

I am so tired of over sensitive feminists and their Nancy-boy defenders complain about the depiction of women in media. Sure, women are objectified, but the men are too! It's completely equal, just ask Hawkeye:

Simply dialing down the ridiculous boob physics on female characters in what are supposed to be emotional situations would be a good step, for instance (like…

*Facepalm*

"More" boys =/= "only" boys.

There would be a riot if I tried to take Minecraft away from my daughters.

I don't really think it's "as a guy." You yourself don't see it that way, which is fine. But it's not your gender that's determining that. Like I mentioned in my post, many men I know do indeed feel the way I do. So I'm not convinced it's that.

I have no idea what this means. I hope you're aren't suggesting that a female lead means it's for women, cos i will suggest educating yourself, starting with Aliens.

Yes there is. Katniss is sort of a rarity for women leads. She is incredibly strong, but deeply flawed. She's not an endless well of strength and awesomeness, but is instead terrified and resourceful. Her intelligence, skill-set, and determination are what makes her admirable and capable.
