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? |
You give me so much hope! The fact that some people on here legitmately think she's going to ruin the industry is a terrifying, how much perspective have they lost to make such ridiculous statements. She is a person with opinions on female characters and an audience with whom she shares them. People should be disecting her arguements, but most posts regarding her are personal attacks, pointless claims that she isn't a real gamer, or ones like this OP which demonstrates people putting unreasnabe effort into trying to discredit very resonable claims. We all know how the internet is and at the very least we know she gets a ton of unwarranted abuse.
