The difference is that she's presenting really oversimplified, shitty ideas and when you play with crap, the smell spreads. Kinda like how when you debate young-earth creationists or climate change deniers, just the act of engaging them legitimizes their bullshit.

So you think that opening a game development studio and raising the tens of millions of dollars necessary to make a AAA title on the level of an AC game is "simple?"

Doesn't matter if ubisoft thinks they're the new EA, the best games are being made with a female audience in mind.

Ewww. Why does Kotaku insist on giving this delusional misandrist any attention? She has already been busted for propagating outright lies to spread hate.

Your logic is so utterly ridiculous. The presupposition you're making is that if any film, game, book, etc. uses a white, hetero, male protagonist that it lacks creative merit. I'm not-so-sorry to inform you that content creators don't need to feel arbitrarily beholden to wearing the different perspective goggles just…

Right? If an writer from Kotaku (known for it's ridiculous smear campaigns) got to sit down with me for an interview and asked a leading question like that, I'd keep my trap zipped as well. It's a lose-lose situation.

Please spare me the guilt-tripping victimization. What gives you the pretentious right to tell people how they should creatively express their ideas?

Exactly.

Because there are no conclusive studies on how men and women compare in reflex & reaction based video games (that I know of). There are studies about the differences between the reaction rates of men and women and you can find a ton of academic sources for that online — I'm simply extrapolating my own conclusion from…

It's not — I was making a statement about reflex and reaction based competitive gaming in general.

Ok, so it's unfathomable for you to even consider that maybe men have any significant, physical advantages over women but according to your logic women have a ton of clear physical and mental advantages over men?

How did having a men's competition alongside a women's competition "oppress" women? Give me a break.

When all you need to do to be labeled a sexist is state that men and women are different and that neither sex actually wants to be coddled in a condescending manner, it's no wonder the modern feminist movement enjoys such an insane reputation!

"And here come the MRA enablers. You can go now."

Honestly, I don't expect feminists to be using their brain too much let alone even make an attempt to understand a sensible argument. :)

So why not have 3 formats?

"...some women would rather play without being exposed to misogynistic assholes who are looking for any excuse to insult them for being women."

lulz Knew it wouldn't take you long to invoke patriarchy.

Nah, you don't get to shut down a conversation just because you can't make a solid counter-point. But I get it, that's the standard feminist way: either shout until you're right or until enough white knights form a human meat-shield to protect you from common sense.

And men don't endure verbal abuse when they play? I find it more insulting and sexist that you believe women need to be coddled and protected from verbal abuse while believing that men can take care of themselves. Honestly, women should find this patronizing.
