Why Are Feminists Evil?

Men and women are equal in the western world now. They have the same rights. Women might even have a few more. Its not needed here anymore. Go fight for women in places were they barely have any rights.

You can take that up with the World Economic Forum because their statistics strongly disagree, as do a multitude of others far too numerous to cite.

(Here's their overall gender parity score by country. As you can see, none has yet achieved gender equality by objective, material measures.)

I for one think that every character in every videogame should be female. And everyone who disagrees is a meninist.

Yes. Yes, that's EXACTLY what I've proposed. *rolls eyes*

(What is a "meninist" anyway? Do you mean a masculinist? That is a real thing, actually. It differs from feminism in that it is all about promoting traditional gender roles and in that its adherents tend to be openly male supremacist, as in they use that term to describe themselves.)

Can confirm, am feminist, like Playstation.

For me, it changes from time to time depending on what company attitudes are like at any given point. In general, yes, between the three major console companies, presently it could be said that Sony is the one I respect the most. A couple years ago, it was Microsoft, but Sony has really stepped up their game lately with respect to publishing more female-focused titles and DLC and so forth. Nintendo, on the other hand, has done some things that really annoy me lately, like eliminating the female lead from their only franchise that had one (Metroid) and that's really a shame because the original Metroid happened to be the title that originally got me into gaming. (Not that was always a feminist, but you know what I mean. :P ) That hasn't stopped me from buying a Switch (nope, I don't hate Nintendo or anything, and I do think about more than JUST gender issues), but still.

Umm... Isn't there a big number of female focused games on 3DS? You approach the problem from a very narrow angle (in terms of Nintendo, at least). You point out that Nintendo isn't making female focused games, which is true, but they're not making male focused games either. You're using typical feminist rhetoric you see everywhere: women want a privilege on something because there's no "womens thing", when there's no "mens thing" either. This would be like left handed people complaining about the lack of pens for left handed people.
