1. More franchises with female protagonists.
What about ones with Black and other races, What about other sexualities
I'm fairly certain those issue have been adressed already. In fact last time I complained about it- as a black female feminist I got slammed with the statistics rebuttal and basically told to sit down and deal with it because my demographic doesn't "contribute" enough moneyez to the gaming industry to justify acknowledging my demographic existence. As for sexualities those have been addressed in tandem too. Often times they fall under the "SJW" category. Did you also miss the huge backlash Bioware got for adding not one- but
two gay characters in ME3? Not to mention the whole thing with Kaidan being Bisexual (since he romances both Sheps) and people flipping their shit that everyone was "shoehorned" bisexual in DA2.
2. No more damsels in distress.
It is quite the overused and lazy trope. I don't see anything wrong with taking a break from that narrative and focusing on something more interesting.
Should all our heroes just be doing it for a big pile of money at the end, how noble.
So....an anti hero? I mean, you have a very narrow perception of a hero. He/she might not be idealic and altruistic but that's far from a bad thing.
What about country, oh no I'm sure their are females in the country so no go there. Hey even gone home fit this bill, I remember my sister being a motivating factor in the game and to not go into spoilers, may have been in trouble.
This doesn't make sense....but good for your sister?
3. No more gender swapped female characters (like Mrs. Pacman) so any new female protagonists would have to be their own character instead of a spin off of a male one.
Are you kidding me with this one? Believe me Feminists were the last people to throw their shit over gender swapped characters. Unless you missed the female Thor debacle or the "Link being a woman" argument where it was very much the other side opposed to any of that shit.
Unless of course you were making a jab at Anita's video about the Ms. hero version of characters where she didn't advocate to be rid of those characters. She just considered them pretty lazy.
Dude raider! Also should we get up in arms on every gender/race swap in movies now,
People do a good job frothing at the mouths over this already.
Sure a couple of people are pissed about Thor and avatar
You have a very broad term for
a couple of angry people.
4. No more random side missions that involve brothels and strip clubs
Who advocated for this? Oh I know! Nobody. Your just taking what Anita said in her videos and making it out to be something that feminists as a whole are pursuing.
Why they are interesting places,
Really? Because almost every strip club depicted ever is your same basic hot ladies on stripper poles with horny patrons watching.
A lot better then Random jungle or random 3rd world country town.
Perhaps you need to take a dive down to Google images and take a look at how much variety one can add into "random jungle" and "3rd world country" town, because it's definitely a lot more interesting and better than basic strip club.
If it's because you think only women get exploited in games in brothels and strip clubs I guess didn't play saints row 3 and DLC of 4 with all the men in gimp suits, pony carts and such. Even in normal games not the best representation of males either, Being all gang bangers or sexual deviants.
So can we just agree that your basically taking things Anita says and blowing it up to claiming that all feminists said/agree to this?
5. No more sexualized dead women.
Yeah, those evul feminists! How dare they say I can't get my dick hard or my panties wet over a corpse!
Another thing that's not Exclusive to the female gender. If people want to screw around with "Ragdolls" dead bodies, Well anything that can be done with a female dead body, can be done with a male dead body.
I think a lot more than feminists would be against the idea of fucking dead sexualized women. Yet alone dead male ones.
I think Feminism would do better if "THEY" were more inclusive, Humanism ftw.
Lol. 90% of your claims about what feminism was against were arguments against points Anita said in her videos and had nothing to do with what a good chunk of feminists in gaming even think.
Please come back with better claims that doesn't involve taking the word of one women and brushing it over an entire section of the feminist community.
