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.
Im a female gamer and females that spend more time whining about sexism or buzzword buzzword buzzword are not and have never been true gamers or fans. True gamers do not have a victimhood mentality and true gamers care more about the actual game itself and not their political whining.
Of course i got in to an arguement with another girl (not over games but over a certain other "geek or nerd" topic) she complained that "females are always questioned over whether they are true fans "(she couldnt help but whine about it even when knowing i was a girl when i said she wasn't a real fan. ) well MAYBE if you didn't spend your time attacking the culture or being ignorant about it that wouldnt happen . And sure enough the more i argued with her the more she revealed how little she actually knew about that particular thing we were arguing about and how if she were a real fan she would know that this is something that is common place in the whole medium and actual female fans have fun with it too and create it too.
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.
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.
