| champybh said: Madworld - What I'm trying to say (more politely) is that ... I feel the people who are obsessively investigating these claims are coming from a place of disrespect. They want very badly for it to be true so they can justify their opinion that women gamers don't have a place in "our world". I've formed this opinion by reading the overwhelming reactions all her videos inspire. It made me wonder why this topic drives everyone so insane - and i see no other reason other than that it's because it's coming from a women's voice. While I'm the opinion minority in this forum thread, many game developers agree with with this - and that there is in fact an issue. She's doing a good thing for the video game industry, she's getting the people who create games to think twice before they choose the predictable choice. Don't we all want more unique ideas in the games that we play? |
(Bolded) - I dont think most people want that to be fair, yeah theres a small minority but, well crazies are everywhere.
In terms of making videos, ..she really didnt need to do a kickstarter to make a video about it all, I dont know if she had made videos before the kickstarter on this subject, but considering there are so many youtubers making videos for free, I dont really know why she couldnt just make the videos regardless of a kickstarter.
Many game developers may agree with her. I'm not sure what that means to be fair. Being PC seems to be all the rage at the moment. One gaming website got upset with a game because it had the main character as a male and it was rescuing a female princess like character, - they said it made women look weak... no offence the world has gone mad :)
I am all for diversity in gaming, and I think we already have it - you can get what you want from many different games and platforms... but at the moment it seems if games dont have all of the boxes ticked (and they dont have to) then it's hell to pay.
Making an indie game : Dead of Day!
