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. |
What i want is for them to think about none of that. When you are forcing them to take into account your personal values, their creation is going to be affected by you. It will no longer be their creation. It will be an abortion.
This leads to very forced and lame creations. You can tell when something is beeing forced in order to give special treatment to groups that think they are discriminated. Its all bollocks because discrimination only happens when you treat someone in a special way. In a way, giving special treatment is also racism. Be it in a negative or positive way. But alas, you wont see said groups unhappy when its a positive special treatment, wich just goes to prove how contradictory they are.

Of course they should think about it. They think about it when they put a guy in a game, or when they depict aliens in one way or another. The way we approach things in life is a product of how we are affected by society and people around us. Being blind to that is just plain stupid.
You may hate "self proclaimed social fighters" but I hate when people think they are for some kind of "liberty" but have problems receiveing critiscism for their expressions. A liberal society is a society where you can say what you want but also receive critiscism for what you say. Crying the moment someone is critical is just silly. So yes, games developers shouldn´t be immune to getting critizised for their games, but we should not as a society therefore regulate what they are allowed to create.

That's not what a liberal society is these day. It means toe the line or be a pariah.
