As I've mentioned before my guilty pleasure with video games is The Sims. I recently had an article in my feed celebrating the fact that a recent survey showed that The Sims audience was 60% female. That doesn't surprise me, because I think a game like the Sims is a type of genre that would appeal to more women, but good grief am I sick and tired of the double standard!
The same old story. If women enjoy a game it is cause for celebration, but if men enjoy a game then they are evil and are keeping women out. Part of the reason I stopped getting gaming magazines (been reading them since the days of Nintendo Power) was because I got sick and tired of every other issue having some article about some poor woman who was told mean words when she was playing online or the millionth article about a female developer because we have to be constantly reminded there are women who are in the gaming business.
I will forever rue the day that the gaming industry took seriously the garbage that Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkisian spew out. I guess it was somewhat satisfying when Anita got upset about a race swapped Buffy reboot, because when it is something she likes it isn't ok to crap all over it.
Although there's agenda being pushed, denigrating men, make them feel hopeless yadayada, I can't help but feel a lot of 8t is jealousy.
In the games that are mostly a male player base, a majority of them are competitive and women are kerbstomped repeatedly by guys in them. Same with a lot of things that they try to push themselves into.
And now they are getting kerbstomped by trans since they opened the door, think you're the baddest bitch in a female prison, well 'Janice' can actually rape and make you pregnant.
