Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It's so odd that there are these groups fighting for "what woman want" at the same time telling woman what they want and find attractive/empowering.
But my god are these threads always such a mess. It is still the biggest debated subject right now and no side is altering at all. I'm curious to see it in a few years.
Its just the petulant "I want change right now, and 100% of the change I want, and to do so I'm going to shame you into doing so/make you fear this social justice movement!!" approach that is so absolutely ridiculous.
These same people will talk about how they want to see more women working in the industry and how they can affect change from within. Yknow what? Fuck all of you big players and outlets that have run such wistful sentences in your other articles. Corrinne Yu leaves Microsoft for Naughty Dog, probably one of the industry's biggest female players, and not one of you butts think its article or news worthy. Some smaller sites have picked it up, but oh look, Carmack leaving id is news across them all though, we can report that, sure.
Of course RPS is 'PC-only' with all the extra elitism baggage that comes with and wouldnt report on console dalliances anyway but I'd dare say PC gaming is going to be far more of a male dominated past time than console, iOS, and so forth anyway so if they want to bang this drum they're in the wrong neighbourhood. The exception being DOTA and LOL and WoW and the like which women are enjoying playing around the world, but no, silly women, you should stop enjoying those things and demand all sexualisation to be stricken from your entertainment because it creates theoretical shackles around your un-empowered inner goddess or whatever.
If you want to affect change, you big up the examples of what you want to see repeated, you evangelise that shit, and make sure others take note. You don't come at people with knives out and try and make them feel terrible about even okaying female characters in their game in the first place. You should accept evolution and maturing of an artform and industry is a period of time thing not a "we yelled at them and they surrendered" thing.
