Naughty Dog’s new IP is a retro sci-fi space game starring a butch, shaved-headed black lesbian girl boss.
The Witcher 4 stars a female lead, an uglified middle-aged Ciri who is also a sassy girl boss.
The new co-op game from Hazelight, (developer of It Takes Two) stars a pair of insufferable millennial female writers.
Outside of what was shown last night, we have the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima with another new girl boss protagonist.
Grand Theft Auto 6? Another new female protagonist.
Is there a literal prohibition on white male leads in western game dev?
Virtually every western advertisement put sassy girl bosses - both real and virtual - front and center. You’d think the majority of competitive online players are female, the way the industry panders to the demo.
Meanwhile, Eastern game devs are cranking out the only media with masculine males and feminine females. The Last Berzerker and Crimson Desert feature white male leads even, a clear indicator that Asian devs are targeting what they correctly perceive to be a gap in the western market.
And the countless female characters in Eastern games? Just as present and powerful, but they aren’t insufferable cunts or masculine abominations. No, eastern female characters are unapologetically attractive and feminine.
The awards also focused on women nonstop. Women in the crowd. Women on stage with the award winners. Female presenters. Meanwhile, almost every winner was a white or Asian dude. Because they are still the ones who put in the hard work to make the fucking games.
Watching the live chats was great, though. The moment you saw purple, people were calling woke. And the best part is knowing that all of the defenders and shills are definitely seething leftists who are terrified of the current cultural realignment.
I know I blame Sarkesian for this obsession with “we need to push more women into male spaces” mindset, but I would imagine it goes deeper than that. I’ve seen this in comics and sci-fi as well. Although almost anything that appeals to guys is infested
It’s all intentional. This has always been the modus operandi of feminism and minority tyranny. They don’t want access to a space, they want to dominate it, access is simply the foot in the door.
And black and female characters were embraced before that was all they came out with. And they still don’t get that most people aren’t lgbt so it doesn’t appeal to mass audiences
My go to example for this will always be Blade. People liked it because it was good. It wasn't slung at us, expecting us to like it because he's black.
The public will, on the whole, enjoy a quality product.
Exactly. Now they are shocked when show after show bombs after they shove race down your throat and the race swapped actors crap on the fanbase
It's been a while since I've watched the Blade movies but I don't recall race ever being brought up in the plot or even casually. These days it's mandatory for a black or female character to declare their oppression cards at least once per episode.
The first Blade still has arguably the best intro sequence to an action movie ever.
There isn't a movie with an opening that is as cool, stylish, and memorable as that.
