To be quite honest, if I don't like a games content, I just don't play it. Simple as that.

Fair enough, but closing your eyes doesn't make the issues go away.

But I think within the context of it's setting, which is based on fairy tales that borrow gender roles from the middle ages, the women are treated differently. You can sneak into the castle dressed as a woman because all the cleaning maids are women. Even Cassima is only being used by the Vizier for her ties to the throne. The people with any authority are men. I think if you just swapped Alexander and Cassima, she would have a harder time, but it would be in order to portray that particular setting. It's nothing against women in general. Its detached from that.

I hope she makes an example of Kings Quest VI in her next video, along with Monkey island.

Australians happily create and promote their own stereotypes about themselves. The government enjoys Australian "mateship" Uggghhh I hate it all :D

The video is just like the other one in the series. One of the problems I have with the game videos is the constant use of Japanese games as examples not just 'cause I've never even heard of half of them, It's that Japanese media (in my experience) is in general, rather, shall we say "insensitive". Its easy pickings really. And the fact most her arguments apply to media in general and not just games.

I'd also be interested in what kind of game she would design if she had the chance.

Do you even know what non-sequitur MEANS? When people are talking about womens issues and you bring up mens issues instead... that's kinda the same thing.

So you're saying when discussing sexism, Men's issues shouldn't be discussed? Because last time I checked, they're both two sides of the same coin.

Whereas Cancer and Aids are completely unrelated, one does not affect the other

Wanna hear a funny joke? Women's rights.

Thats true. I guess she is just fighting for what she believes is right. And that I can respect.

No, I'm saying that when discussing womens issues, let's discuss them. And when we're discussing mens issues, let's discuss them. And if you want a third discussion on how they connect, let's have that. But don't go barging into an ongoing discussion and claim right of focus. It's not just stupid, but pretty fuckin' rude.

What gets easier to pick up the heavier it gets? A woman.

When discussing women's issues, you're automatically discussing men's issues as well, whether you realize it, or not. Sexism is a societal issue, you cannot discuss one without the other, they are intrinsically connected.

Can you even discuss sexism without mentioning "men" (whether directly or indirectly)? Because, again, using the medicine example someone else provided, i can very easily discuss Cancer, Flu or Aids, without discussing Cholera, Antrax or Malaria

1. No, duh.
2-3. Yes. But when a man is being treacherous, it doesn't reflect on all men. When a woman is being treacherous, it does.
4. Yes. And that is a problem. I want more women mooks to kill. Not succubi or spider-women, just regular mooks.
To illustrate: basically the only sort of TV series being made and shown in Russia are about cops and gang wars. Cops are men. Gangsters are men. Women are:
bodies,
homemakers (stoic virtuous wife of a cop who bravely not sees her husband for days, or evil bitch wife of a cop who divorces him over him spending all the time at work),
feminist businesswomen who have messed with Manly Matters and are now in deep shit because of it,
masterminds behind one specific crime, pretending to be an innocent and sexually virtuous bystander.
One - a comedic dudebro series - had the protagonist nominally answer to a woman superior, whom he also banged. But that's it.

A typical scene: a criminal boss is threatening to gouge out a boy's eyes with a knife. The kid is absolutely not frightened, answers calmly, does not betray anyone - a real hero. Scene change: "BAWWW MY SON HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BAAAWWW I'M GOING TO SLIT MY WRISTS AND BE NONFUNCTIONAL AND SHIT BAAAWWWWW".

Fuck that noise.

5. No, if a three-headed genderless demon turns into a creature that is perceived to resemble a human female much more than a human male, it's a woman for the purpose of gender representation in media.

fascinating!

testicular cancer.

Like it or not, this is how typically a crime family look like. One of my favourite shows, The Sopranos, shows almost every woman in the show as a housewive. You can't say this show is mysoginistic or sexist, because it shows the world of the mob families is sexist and mysoginistic. If anything, it greatly depicts how women are treated by those men, and it's not the writer's fault.
