Up until fairly recently entertainment companies understood that men and women generally have different interests. Yes you’ll find some crossover but the rule applies. Manga seems to understand this
The problem is that it made it so that I see a lot of smart people just copy leftist talking points about women in X and how they are a victim without realizing that no one ever told them not to do X or that X already had a lot of well written women.
This one was particularly infuriating because she plays videogames for a long time, she started wow back in burning crusade I think and we played wow, diablo, lol together. Not only no one told her to go back to the kitchen but everyone was treating her nicely, including farming for her in wow. But that does not stop her for saying that "women are not welcomed in gaming" crap.
As a life long gamer and comic book guy I always saw women who were interested in the hobbies, but not in the same numbers as men. I’ve always been a nerdy black guy and have loved sci-fi and fantasy since childhood. Not many blacks are into that stuff but nobody ever stopped me from reading Tolkien, Heinlein, Asimov, etc. I enjoy an occasional romance novel which is very female dominated. Nobody stops me from reading those.
They just refuse to accept who generally buys things or is into a hobby
The last few years have caused me to re-evaluate what I consider to be intelligence. People who mindlessly and arrogantly went along with every bullshit government and media narrative, from George Floyd to covid to Ukraine, are no longer what I would consider intelligent. I’ve moved most of them into the category of “competent” with some of them being “hyper competent” (a label I reserve for the type of person who can perform brain surgery but cannot recognize simple patterns in media).
They’ve applied Disparate Impact Theory (aka the new communism) to gaming as well.
Step 1: identity a disparity - in this case, the fact that way more men than women play video games
Step 2: systematically ignore any explanations that do not uphold leftist doctrine - in this case, the idea that men and women are inherently different and thus have different interests
Step 3: arrive at your desired conclusion through a process of arbitrary elimination - in this case, leftists systematically reject every premise except discrimination, so discrimination must be the culprit
They pull this shit with literally everything now. No need to refute evidence for inherent differences in aptitude, temperament, behavior, etc. based on demographics. Leftists just point to a disparate outcome, pretend to investigate the cause, and literally always arrive at the same (predetermined) conclusion: it’s racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

Just as long as you watch out for Clarke. Because he's definitely on the naughty list. And by that I mean he pays to rape little boys.
Arthur C Clarke?! That I didn’t know

This seems like a very useful distinction

I wish you could present this to the execs at a gaming company
Up until fairly recently, men and women were definable as separate entities.
