E3 2015 - The year the SJW's won?

LateX'Dog · 16 Jun 2015 at 09:56

Is it just me or are the big studio's pumping out pro female agendas?

Don't miss understand, i don't care who the main character is as long as it suits the game. But we seem to be having a overwhelming amount of anti misogynic rhetoric rammed down our throats.

Look at the ending of Assassins Creed Syndicate "Stop the oppression"

Can fad movements really have this much of an impact on a multi billion fortune industry?

So let me get this straight......you aren't bothered who the main character in games is....but you are bothered because you think there are too many female characters appearing this year?

No, I'm bothered by the seemingly overarching feel this year about focusing on female development. Like we've never had this in the past.

We've had loads of female centric characters, but this year it just seems like they've gone all out for no other reason then to shut up Anita T***face.

Your one of those angry people aren't you?

Yay for progression as far as I'm concerned. We just had a major hollywood movie with a disabled female protagonist and nobody gave two ****.

I'm sure there's still plenty of dude-bro's that you can play as if you are that bothered.

Well no ****, its not the viewer that has the issue, it is the PR teams and money men who believe "this and that" = profit, in this case male leads or certain skimpy female leads.

Instead of integrity for the writer/caster/whatever they have to dumb it down to the L.C.D.

When games are predominantly based around female characters, you might begin to have a point. E3 seems a fair bit more representative this year, a good thing in my book. It's not as if people have stopped making games with chisel-jawed rambos gunning down hordes of enemies.

not sure where you're coming from. can you give me more examples/references?

Until ~50% of games contain realistic portrayals of female characters, there's still progress to be made.

Equality isn't a fad movement.

No but anything but is increasingly becoming a thoughtcrime.

I'm one of the people who believe that if the industry sees fit to make their based around a female, they will. But being pressured by retarded fad groups because "they feel" females are under represented and then force companies to comply through peer pressure is a joke.

People who support that are no better then the people bandwagoning on the front lines.

If you want to change the industry you don't do it through force, you do it through making great games that feature the ideologies that you want to put forward.

What do you mean? It's becoming a thought crime to be a misogynist? Good.

mid_gen · 16 Jun 2015 at 10:19

lol 'force'.

Really? Are armies of feminists turning up armed at developer's offices?

The industry is just having a bit of an awakening moment where they realise that catering to a more diverse demographics is good for business.

If people write stories with a male protagonist in mind, they shouldn't be forced to comply to fad movements.

I fear we are entering an era where developers will be scared to write a male centric game without a female side option "just in case" the SJW's get their knickers in a twist.

I guess you don't read twitter much. That place has the power to change development cycles at will.

Females ARE under represented. That's a fact. It's now making business sense to realise that. The fact that you're typing out this nonsense is astounding... are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? I'm sure she'd love to her your opinions on feminism being an ideology.

No, because there are many other reasons to dislike her besides her being a woman.

Are you actually joking? Please say you are. Because you haven't a single ****ing clue what your talking about.

I'm married with 2 kids. My wife HATES modern day feminism. We are both pro traditional feminism.

For the entirety of gaming history, developers have been scared to write a female centric game without a male side option "just in case" the traditionally misogynist crowd get their testicles in a twist.
