The lgbtq shit is actually in mild retreat right now, but feminism hasn’t budged an inch. Every game show is full of new release trailers featuring girl bosses. For a hobby that is still obviously super majority male, the number of forced female protagonists is insane. No other industry has a bigger divide between product and customer.
Good point. I would say comics come close as well as the sci fi industry.
You (and Imp) are right about feminism. It’s definitely outside of just gaming and into normie consumer life. I see it everywhere that is typically a male dominated space. “Women in tech” has never been bigger or more incentivized to hire women at an extremely disproportionate rate. I’m constantly seeing women sports ball versions plastered everywhere like women’s flag football, WNBA, etc… and all over others spaces and media/genres like the recent Spartacus main character example. I saw someone else say “I’m sure the overlap between black women and Roman history nerds is huge enough for them to think it’s worth doing this.”
Imp is only sort of right. It's obviously not a hive mind conspiracy of every woman everywhere that rules all world events and can only be brought to heel by creating cloning vats and gene editing such that no women ever need be born again.
