Oh, c'mon, where's your common sense? This is not what the problem is. I come from a time when games were about HAVING FUN, now it's all about politics, money and fame. The gaming press in general stopped talking about games and now just talks about how developers are evil because of how women are portrayed in games. For fuck's sake, just having a girl in bikini in a game nowadays is enough to get "journalists" and feminists all up in arms over it.

Where's FREEDOM nowadays? Game designers and publishers are not free to develop the games they want anymore because there are a bunch of "journalists" and assholes trying to push their agendas for PERSONAL reasons to gain some kind of advantage, be it fame, money or even sex (in the case of Zoe Quinn and her loyal supporters).

Back in the day having a game about a plumber who has to rescue a princess was fine, but nowadays it's a fucking crime because it uses the "damsel in distress trope" and whatever. All the Mario and Zelda games are "evil" because they "objectify" women since you have to rescue the princess. Oh mean, c'mon, give me a fucking break, it's just a fucking game, it could have been about rescuing the protragonist's dog, it doesn't matter. Having to rescue someone is just a plot device to get the game going. It's not an evil conspiracy to "objectify" women. What's next? You can't have a game about rescuing dogs because it objectifies animals? Where will the SJW stop?

Remember the controversy around the lack of playable female characters in AC Unity? That was fucking BS. Since when do game developers need to make thousands of playable characters just to please different groups? What's next? Ubisoft is racist for not having a playable muslim character in the next Assassin's Creed? Oh, please. Every game from now on will need male characters, white characters, black characters, female characters, japanese characters, korean characters, chinese characters, african characters, south american characters, jewish characters, muslim characters, christian characters, homossexual characters, bissexual characters and every other kind of group. If Ubisoft doesn't want to make a game with playable female characters it is their right to do so. Period. The gaming press really need to stop making such a shitstorm over something so fucking frivolous as a game design decision.

For me all this feminist BS being pushed against developers by these pseudo-journalists smells a lot like censorship. They are trying to take away the freedom from developers and publishers and trying to dictate how they should make games. This is fucking disgusting.

Not too long ago RPS made a bunch of articles about how Blizzard was "misogynist". First they counted how many times Kerrigan's ass appeared in cutscenes, then they made a shitstorm over Blizzard's female characters design in Heroes of the Storm. Why? Blizzard can't even design its own characters anymore?

Another case: people got "offended" by the lack of same-sex relationships in Nintendo's life-sim Tomodachi Life. I'm a huge defender of LGBT rights, but that's just too much. If Nintendo wants to make a game without same-sex relationships they should be allowed to do so. It's their game, it's their vision. At the same time, i really liked how EA basically showed the middle finger to conservative christian groups when they allowed same-sex relationships in some of their games and didn't retreat to please them. It's all about freedom.

I'm not saying that misogyny and sexism doesn't exist in our society. It does. And that's the main issue i have with these "feminists" like Quinn, Anita and their supporters. They're creating a problem where it doesn't exist. All they want to achieve with these actions is fame and money, and so far they are succeeding. Anita is now famous and got a bunch of money from the idiots that supported her on Kickstarter by playing the victim card and calling the "white knights" to rescue her. Ironically she acts exactly like the "damsel in distress" she complains so much about. Quinn achieved fame and got a lot of exposure for her shitty game by both playing the victim card and by using her genitals.

What we shouldn't accept are the cases of REAL sexism and misogyny. For example, millions of women are sexually harassed every year, women receive lower salaries than men by doing the same functions. There was a very controversial research here in Brazil that showed that a significant portion of the population think that women get raped because of how they are dressed, basically transferring guilt to the victims. That's real misogyny right there. We should fight against that, not against a fucking plumber that has to rescue a princess in a game.

And saying that games "objectify" women and make gamers misogynists is like saying that violent games make people violent. To be very honest, these feminists and her loyal journalists are not very different from Jack Thompson.
