I enjoy thi conversation and this is what I would miss on reset era. Different opinions.
and now to some quotes
Nothing is easier today than to get things banned though social outrage. Be it video games be it articles from Walmart like the shirt with Impeeach Trump" etc. Government can do shit in this regard. Social Media is being used as a tool for censorship
No instead they are halling unprofessional "journalists" which push their agenda more than the actual truth. And do not accept AYNTHING than their own opinon .
And here is another problem. Words like sexist and racist are being thrown around like free Candy on Karneval. Everything these days is racist and sexist. White people teaching Yoga? Racist. Wearing some T-shirt which was a present from his best female friend? Sexist. jokes like Tim Hunt did sexist and not only that the press not only lied to push an agenda they also left things out of their article to get him fired.
NO it would not but promoting this stuff in a very propaganda like way is not a good thing.
Ballad of Gay Tony was not a gay character there we had a character who was gay. With Ellies friend right now or also in Bioware games you have gay characters. which is a huge step back of what Naughtydog didwith people like Bill for example. Bill was never a gay character Bill was always a character who also was gay. It was sublte it was human and it was not "Hey Joel good to see you again. Did you kow I am gay? Because I am gay" And you can litterally see which character in todays Bioware games is what and how they even follow a checklist pattern. HEre is the black character, here is the asian one, these are gay these are trans etc and you all can get this info in1 minute after talking to the person. This is not only bad writing but also pushing and forcing diversity. They are there because they are gay/trans etc.
Also just like you are being manipulated by the press with this BF5 matter. ALMOST NO ONE was angry befcause there were women in their video games. People were angry like it looked like bad Michael Bay movie in a fictional War setting. And honestly I think it was fucking insulting for all the women who did participate in this WAR. If you wanted to go back to the basic what Dice wanted to do with this WW2 game and then you basically make WW2 some fictional Steam Punk setting than of course people get mad at it.
But of course the usual suspects made it a sexism issue when it never was one.......
I noticed this agenda the first time I played 4 with Nadine which was an incredible boring character. Nadine was basically a Mary Sue Character. She had no flaws at all while men are rather all were acting very stupid. The typical feminist chliche Trope. I also never bought Lost legacy because of her.
Yes Universities have become echo chambers. And you can read about it even in the NEw York Times and other more objektive publications. It is insane how Universites now pandering like it is a SAFE space from Opinions. NO IT IS NOT. A University is a place to challenge your views and not to brainwash you with false statistics aka Gender Studies. Universitzies are not your home or safe space from Opinions.
And you again do not understand the refugee problem and how mass immigration changes a whole country and cuases a lot of problems. So I will not further go into this topic.
Again another great accomplishment by Anita who destroyed any form of ability to discuss these issues. This whole think fucked me so up that I when I see a strong female character now I think about how it does fit in the tropish feminist chatacter sheme. And that is a huge problem for me. The point is that men in games can be absolute evrything. The moment a female character is anything beside strong and independent they are being called out by the so called press. HELL women artists are not even be able to draw sexy characters anymore because of "sexism"
Meanwhile Japanese Media has the mot diverse and intersting collections of female characters in the World. Because In Japan women can be everything. According to Anita women can not even be shy.
Who is the one who decides what is valid and what not? This kind of thinking can be very very dangerous. And as for Gamergate I was part of it I never harassed anyone I never talked to people harassing anyone. Disagreeing with people on Social media is not harassment.
Also I think of modern feminism the same as you think of Gamergate so who is right here? Only difference I would never forbid these opinions I would go against them but I never wants to silence people no matter how stupid their thoughts are.
