Aydin Paladin did a two hour video on this very subject in the last day or so. I read the comments after viewing the video and the one thing that was apparent was that people do NOT want to play as themselves or as an avatar that represents someone in real life. What they want is escapism, strong, sexy, idealised individuals, even to the point that people actively create avatars that are the polar opposite of who they are!
These activists will destroy the gaming industry. I think they grossly underestimate just how angry and fed up people are of these ideologues. A reckoning is coming, one that will potentially be bigger than GamerGate in 2014.
