The issue with female agency in video games is that people like Anita don't want female characters with depth. They want make 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.

Yeah, I was mildly annoyed when Anita cited Fallout as an example of transgressive portrayal of sexual workers.

It's called Saint's Row 3 and 4 female voice option number 3, bitch!

also RPGs where you can play as either a man or a woman don't count as positive female characters either because reasons

Paladinus posted:

Wow, another feminist who knows nothing about video games, huh? It's Yakuza 5, you big silly.





Never played it.

I gotta admit I loving LOVED running around as a naked obese black woman with iridescent green dreadlocks in Saint's Row 3.
I also liked that level where you gotta free the ho's. Ho's deserve freedom too.

what's really great was if you added up all the ways that female lead characters were declared to be problematic in the old minority perspectives thread, you were left with a list of things to avoid that meant there was absolutely no way to make write any kind of character whatsoever.

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.

I'm saying Saint's Row 3 and 4 portrayed women better than Yakuza, a series that America shall no longer know the taste of because nobody bought it and the gaming press ignored it.

I think the best way to make everyone happy is to stop putting women in video games entirely

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:

ah, but then video games wouldn't accurately represent real-world population demographics, which is another PROBLEMATIC thing that's PROBLEMATIC because it's PROBLEMATIC

I want to be on Steam because I absolutely think Depression Quest is a game, and I’d like to see more nontraditional games like Proteus, Dear Esther or text-adventure-type things on the platform. The fact is, text adventures have been influential in games since day fricking one. I mean, hello, Zork exists, and if people want to pretend that doesn’t matter and isn’t worthy of Steam, they need to get their heads checked.”
