| Megiddo said: I mean, yes, I know nothing of what it is to be female. I watched the Youtube video. There is nothing in Portal that makes the game any different as a female protagonist than it would if it were a male protagonist. If being a blank slate mute protagonist is a win for feminism then hooray for it? I would have thought something that actually championed women would be considered a 'feminist masterpiece' for gaming but apparently not. I admit I was wrong. Funny that people theorize Caroline/Glados as Chell's mother though. Mothers typically don't try to kill their children after all. But maybe that's also viewed as a positive by women? |
Okay, there were quite a few points to that video actually, not just that Chell is female.
I can see now that you have no interest in having a productive conversation so much as in "winning" this debate, so I will leave you be. Later.
