Oh, and @Monoochrom. Males can have a unique perspective to things just like women can. It's not sexist. If I was making a game, I would want Male AND Female perspectives, just to make sure that the character resonates with more than one audience.
Just like having a super dull macho character annoys me, so does a super feminine brainless character. I like characters and games with dynamics, which is with certain games and series, completely lacking.
I don't want a Girl Power game, nor a Guy Power game. I want a good game that isn't just trying to obviously cater to a "BIG GUNS AND BADASS" type audience. I want characters with complications, unique perspectives, and is interesting enough that I don't have to ignore the idiots involved with character design to enjoy a game. And sometimes...what do you know, it does involve getting BOTH PERSPECTIVES.
It makes me sad how often people in these Forums, that seem to generally consider themselves as ''better'' then others, need to have things spelled out for them.
No, a ''female perspective'' does not exist just as little as a ''male perspective'' exists. A AngelBlackChaos perspective is a reality, like a Monoochrom perspective or a Irridium perspective. There is however no female perspective and what makes the notion that there is sexist is the fact that you are implying that all women think or atleast see the world through the same eyes, which also would imply that men do so aswell. So, yes, it's sexist and the ''female perspective'' doesn't exist, next time maybe think about what you are trying to tell me before thinking you can go full caps on me.
In other words, no you silly person, we have personal perspectives, but there is no overarching female or male perspective. If you really wanted to be broad about my perspective for instance, I would atleast hope that you go atleast a little into detail. In that case my perspective would be that of a white male, born in california, living in germany, in his mid-twenties and who is engaged. And that is still extremely broad.
Seems you have the right idea, you just don't know what words mean. Even so, as stated in my other post, women have no inherent value in this or any industry, just like men. Whats needed is talent, I personally don't give a shit who's talent it is, if the person has a Vagina or a Penis or both or neither. The person could be pink and naturally be covered in a floral design, I don't care because it doesn't matter for the job.
And just for the fun of it, regarding your part that wasn't aimed at me.
It doesn't require the man hating bra burners (your term, not mine), all it requires are people like Irridium (and, I guess also like you) to path the way to hell with good intentions
sure, these people all believe in ''equality'', they just think that equality is reverse sex- and racism.
