I am no feminist but I agree with him regarding GG, and to some degree regarding the other issue. I want more diversity in games and I personally want misogony to go away (it all depends on the context of the game though). But I mainly want game developers to have a high degree of freedom to develop games the way they want them to be.

Do you want mysandry to go away?

As for diversity in video games, I think there's plenty. If you actually look at the games that are being released, it's very diverse. The idea that the vast majority of protagonists are white males is dated and needs to be rectified.

Well, if there is mysandry in games, of course I am not for it. It is always a matter of context though, just like with misogony.

You think there is plenty of diversity in games, I think there could be more. I like that we are getting more and more diversity since it makes many games more interesting and a lot more enjoyable. It has become better and better, just looking back 30 years and seeing how gamers reacted to Samus Aran being a woman, compared to how we find it more natural that half of the spartan are male and half female, are good signs. But we can always be better.

I mean not just in games. GG was just as much a hate campaign against men as it was the other way round.

I don't see how diversity would make, for example, Uncharted a better game if we replace Nathan Drake. Mind explaining that to me?
