That's not really a joke, by the way, as I personally have at least some sympathy with the feminist agenda. But it's fair to say pissing of black people (a la RE5) has a very different effect than pissing off feminists in the public consciousness. It's like the difference between insulting all Christians and insulting PETA: both may technically consider themselves righteous, but pissing off the Christians is going to get you burned, while pissing off PETA just makes the millions of PETA haters more likely to buy your game. |
I have some sympathy for some versions of the feminist agenda and for some parts of the PETA agenda, and think that many "haters" would lose in direct argument with most active feminists and PETA activists, but what you say is nonetheless true.
