Polygon Interview: Toxic Masculinity In Video Games (Ugh)

Let us duly note here that the same people who voice objection to the "divisive labels" contained in the article linked in the OP are also throwing around terms like "SJWs", "idiots", "children", etc. in the very same breath, and don't see any irony. The same people who deny the existence of masculine toxicity are proposing that detractors to their political line "need to die", complaining about how Lara Croft is supposedly a "masculine" character because she stars in an action franchise, and so on and so forth like this, and don't see how they might be, in so doing, kinda validating the verbiage about which they are complaining. There is more genuine divisiveness contained on this thread than in the linked article.

In the linked interview, God of War's director does not complain about the questions he receives, but instead answers them intelligently, by all implications accepting their framing. Let me propose that that's because he does not necessarily disagree with it himself. Methinks that perhaps our forum rightists simply wish that he did.

"The same people who deny the existence of masculine toxicity"

do you believe that feminine toxicity exists? and if so how would you define it?

 

"are proposing that detractors to their political line "need to die""

what political line are you referring to?
