Like how the consoles aren't worth a damn. Like how development costs continue to skyrocket to the point of sustainability. Like how we can't just talk about games.
These are games. Things we play to have fun. Things played for the purpose of stress release and for competition. We do not need Anita Sarkeesian or any of her little bay area friends shitting up the place with their rhetoric.
Also, I love how I said there were actual issues in the industry and you just completely ignore that.
"Stop talking about stuff I don't want you to talk about!"
No-fucking-one stops you from talking about games, stops you from playing games for fun or competition. But you know what? Just because you don't want any critical discussion of a games content (all content) doesn't mean others don't want that. I enjoy such discussions, I enjoy such criticism. It helps the medium grow, it helps creating stories with more depth, stories with better characters. You don't have this whining about criticism in other forms of media, you don't have people all in tears throwing them in front of artist due to the assumption that their minds are so weak and fragile that they don't know how to take criticism. In gaming you have that. In gaming giving a 9/10 score with the slight mention that the depiction of female characters is problematic at best nets you heaps of hate and abuse from the proud "gamers".
But no. Keep on dictating what the "actual issues" are. Keep trying to keep your moral highground when you decide what other people should enjoy.
And also: Don't tell me what I play games for!
Captcha: maple syrup. Its all it keeps telling me. Must be afraid for its life or something. Still will purge it with fire
