IKR? It’s just ‘easier’ to swap out iconic characters with a minority character running the identity to fan pander and make a quick couple bucks and call it ‘progressive.’
Meh. Originals or nothing. If you want new characters. Then... make new characters.
I would say I have a lot of quantification because gaming has always been my sole hobby an I actually got really into gaming precisely because of the number of female protagonists it had compared to let's say: popcorn summer movies. Same with my anime/manga fandom actually. I know it's anecdotal evidence and it sounds…
That's where I disagree though. There isn't a 'very limited selection'f or female characters. Gaming has been far more varied than it's given credit for. The discourse Anita intends to push is that there is a culture of subjugation. I disagree with the notion entirely, because it's quantifiably not true.
First off, these 'handful of people' ripped off content right out of TV Tropes, which was making these observations in a comedic light and these radical social demagogues ran with the concept. So to paint them as some gender saviors is too much. Especially when their core material is from a comedy site. Literally.
What Sarkeesian was talking about sounded like a quota, because, well, it is. "At least half of the options should be women and, really, it would be great if it was more than half the options were women, and I know some people think I'm completely loony when I say that."
I understand it and I DONT AGREE with it and I think it is harmful to the type of games I like to play. I don't give a crap about anything she has to say because she has been demonstrated to be phony and an attention seeker to peddle her ideas. They just re did some of the females in MKX to meet her needs and the fact…

". how can you prove that these alleged trolls aren't with them?"
Probably not the people playing murder or violence simulators, but I'm sure there is a niche group of people or they wouldn't make them at all, but I'm sure there is a little cross over.
Eh, Pacific Rim quelled my desire for a MMPR movie.
There is literally no joke at rape victims' expense there. The joke is about how MMO mechanics encourage players, ostensibly playing heroes, to not actually do heroic things.
Probably. :]
I'm curious. Was it just the word "rape" that made the SJWs go into a fit? If the comic had said "fucked to sleep by the dickwolves" would this whole stupid uprising never have happened?
... at what point was there a joke made at rape victims' expense?
No, just the SJW that claim the speak for them.
If you don't post it, I will.
The inspiration for Penny Arcade's infamous dickwolves strip.
I loved that part from the Worgen starter area, where you should free 5 miners, and not a single one more. I think the enslaved miners would even call out to you, and you'd later just walk past them like "Sorry, mate. No quest, no help."
