Megiddo said: Gotcha, so there not being any men present makes it a feminist game. Appreciate the insight. |
It's not that men are not present, it's that they are not there to create a dynamic where the focus is on the woman's sexuality or fertility...
The damsel in distress is most certainly THE trope of all tropes; I bring up the other tropes not because thy are super prevalent in video games, but because you will commonly see them in books, movies, and TV...
A good feminist character who interacts with men would be Bayonetta...
Yes, she's extremely sexual, and male gamers may find it appealing, but she is in control of her sexuality; she is not sexual in order to get gratification or validation from men, she's constantly "feeling her oats" as a drag queen would say...
She loves her body and her sexuality but it's not central to the story or driving the story forward in a manner that makes the plot unrelatable; basically, she's more than her sexuality...
Have a nice day...
