What irritates me is that the debate on not just women in games but everyone who isn't a bald white space marine is being fronted by assholes like Sarkalarkadingdong and Quim. It's a loving important discussion and deserves better. Someone like Leigh Alexander would be so much better and would hopefully (but probably not) bring it on the right track and away from all this utter bullshit.

This is a very male-centric motivation still. Which is not in itself a problem, but you have here already admitted "as a man" that the motivation is not universal, in a sense. Note that I'm not saying that women do not understand this motivation, but it is in the same way that blaxploitation movies do not carry messages directly aimed at white people, while the message is universal in some sense (oppression is bad). So I believe we agree to a point. The problem is the structure, any single block in the structure is not a problem. You also mention the fantasy about getting rescued by a dashing hero. That is off course a valid fantasy, similar to the plot of twilight, say. But the games discussed in Anita's videos are not about being rescued, but about rescuing. So those women you know will be excluded. Their fantasy is not necessarily catered to.

Remember Captain Planet? Those teenagers sure were diverse. The american was of course a loud mouth belligerent. The show should have ended after one episode where he says "gently caress this," goes off to burn some fossil fuels and refuses to give the ring back.

Also, if your main trigger in life is that dead women sometimes are posed sexy in games you need to have a serious think. Pick your battles and focus on something like the right to abortions for fucks sake.

Every woman wants to be rescued, but it's not really a lot of fun to wait for four months in a prison cell until then. It's a matter of fact that whoever is having the actual adventure is going to be having a much more interesting experience than the one being rescued, regardless of the genders of either. Sarkeesian never makes mention of Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year door, where you do play as Peach doing poo poo while waiting to be rescued. Or the first Paper Mario, for that matter. Largely because it's really boring, actually, but it IS at least relevant, and I think each time you do it, Peach sends Mario some sort of valuable information about whatever the gently caress

BTW feminists destroyed XSeed's twitter with a loving dumptruckload of feminism rants because girls in one game can be beaten up, yet they ignored Xenoblade a game that X-Seed brought over to America where not only can you play as a woman, but half the cast is all females.

Indeed, I'd argue that this is a fundamental aspect of the American character--the second amendment seems to be broadly interpreted as having the right to defend ones self against tyranny. I also believe that, with training in martial arts and instruction in the philosophies of combat, you'll have less gun owners, you'd diminish the impact of gun culture, and you could feasibly actually disarm the police force and maybe put a stop to the growing police state, much of which stems from abuses of authority. It is not a healthy society that puts all of its martial instruction and all of the powers of force into the hands of a singular organization. I'm certain everyone has dealt with a bullying police officer who knows that he's bigger than you, stronger or better armed, and can get away with pushing you around. In the world I'm envisioning, there lacks that discrepency. Everyone is on the same page. Everyone is on the same level, at least fundamentally."

The issue with female agency in video games is that people like Anita don't want female characters with depth. They want male characters that have a female skin and voice. When making a video game about ancient warriors it doesn't make sense to use women because that is not what happened. People demand female characters with entirely male attributes but are unable to specify why being the NPC with the sword is better than being the NPC that is captured. The captured NPC is only a woman in the first place in an attempt to be inclusive they could easily be replaced with a man or chest of gold. The reason for the damsel in distress trope is reality. This is actually what happens when a person is kidnapped in real life. A team of male police or soldiers is sent to rescue them. Can anyone name even a single real life situation in which a group of highly trained women stormed a compound to rescue a captured man. This isn't about sexism it is about broken women who wish they where born men. They want to be the hero in video games since they can't in real life. Instead of pushing for selective service to include women they would rather push EA to reskin the protagonist in the next call of duty.
