So I saw that Ellen Page is going to star in a show about an all lady e-sport team that has to deal with ......... sexism and it will also touch on gamer game. Clearly this show will be the typical woke garbage that passes for entertainment these days but it could made into a fun drinking game. I could get some beers and take a drink each time an “evil” white male talks down to them or take a drink each time they check off some usual sjw feminist talking point.
I’m convinced that gaming companies today have a major problem accepting that the majority of gamers are male. There are plenty of great female gamers but the majority is still male. Also I’ve talked to a lot of female gamers and guess what? They like talking about games. I hate to gatekeep but if you can’t shut up about diversity/representation in a game or comic book you aren’t a real fan.
Thank you. Like I said I’m a gamer and also into comic books and other “nerd” stuff. I’ve met lots of great female fans and I’d say the same to a male fan that you aren’t a fan if you want to change the exact thing you claim to love.
That show I mentioned just made me roll my eyes because you know it will check off everything on the woke checklist.
I’m a black guy and my two favorite comic book characters are spider-man and Superman. I got about 5000 comic books and a good chunk of them are those two. Now how would I look if I took over writing for Superman and race swapped him due to current year nonsense.
Like I said a true fan male or female is easy to spot because they actually are interested.
One of the biggest annoying things about them is when they start whining about art. When the female character (DRAWING) looks hotter (especially the big scary boobs) than them usually and they start whining about it with the typical arguements "its harmful, harmful for girls, bad expectations, male gaze , unrealistic, " etc. etc. you know the drill. And i just tell them upfront. Stop being jealous of drawings. they try to deny it but they always make it obvious that its all to do with jealousy.
And it is also absurd because they act like women don’t like seeing an attractive man or men don’t like seeing an attractive woman. I remember reading how a large number of women went to see aqua man because of Jason Mamoa. I was like I’m so shocked. Straight women like seeing an attractive man.
People enjoy attractive characters in general. Any who would complain about art is almost always about jealousy (or in a few cases cause they got indoctrinated by the cool aid). Freedom of art is always important but they want to police it and i hate that.
That why I’m glad I grew up in the 90s. Sure they over produced comic books but it was pre woke era. When did they start making an uproar about it? I only noticed it in the last few years. Now it seems like if you draw a female character that looks the least bit feminine the Twitter mob goes after you.
I always think gaming is just something normies picked up for social cred.
I'm such an anti-racist nerd XD
In 2020 you need to signal wokeism I guess.
Also actually another thing the person i was argueing with said was "i watched/read it since i was 5" and i said ... "no it was obvious what you saw was a mainstream one that everyone knows about, and you never actually became a real fan of the medium (there is a difference between knowing about it and actually being an actual fan)". As evidenced by how much she attacked it and its culture and how little she really knew or understood about it as well".
This is why I don’t understand how these comic book/video game/entertainment companies say they want to get female writers/creators but the hire women who seem to hate the product. Like the lady who is in charge of the She Hulk show for Disney plus can’t shut up about “evil white males” and western canon. Normally I would’ve enjoyed a She Hulk show but now I have zero desire.
There are plenty of female creators who actually like the product. But apparently that is a turn off to Hollywood
Actual female fans are harder to find (and there's nothing wrong with something being more a male thing, ) but that's not the full reason why we get all these sh8tty female writers. Its also because they actually hate non woke women and actual fans actually( Amy Hennig got kicked for that reason). And they specifically look for activists rather than people with talent.
