Makes sense, never tried to look at that way. They not only kick, but they also block their entrance on the industry.

That is still not what I'm saying.

By scouting I mean sending say a female tech person to talk to kids in middle school about her job. The fact that she is female will encourage girls to want to pursue that career. She is not actively telling women to be tech people or preventing boys from pursuing the career, but she is motivating females by letting them see someone like them doing that job.

Or if a male nurse came to talk to the students. He does not need to push any agenda, or talk about being a male in the field, or bring up anything related to his gender or race or anything. But like everything, people tend to associate with others like them, so seeing another male being a nurse will make those middle school boys not see the nursing profession as a female only field and they may pursue that field.

It's more of the scouting by leading. If say a male nurse came to talk to 100 students split evently among males and females, by the end of the speech, I would bet that more boys would likely say they may become a nurse than if a female nurse had come and spoke instead.

I never had a male engineer going to my school to make boys desire the career. And I find it obnoxious that people really change that much on their perception "due to inclusiveness", I have seem more harm on the shoeharned attempts to be more diverse than positive sales increase for the new public that are now represented. I didn't mind playing alien, animal, female, black, etc etc etc nor did I get any extra pleasure playing white male. The sole incentive I could say I had to follow my career was that my father had a good wage as engineer gone administrator, plus wanting the most difficult admission process in the country.

No, they are maybe over-represented in some games set in historical periods and in societies where in reality women have or had little roles outside their homes, but they are usually under-represented in far more games. Agendas different from just making money (in that case the choice is made to appeal to what is considered the main user target) can be present in both cases, but not necessarily and most probably less than some people fear.

No, they aren't.

However, putting female (or "minority") into games JUST to check off those boxes and manufacture a sense of "diversity", is creatively bankrupt, and is pandering, dishonest game design. If you're making a game that organically stars a woman, or a non-white human character? And it fits, and makes sense, and they're a cool character that the players will/should care about? Awesome. But sticking them in there JUST to have them in there, is just as lame as it is in ANY entertainment medium.

Things should be in a piece of entertainment because they belong, and fit that specific piece of entertainment. Not merely to fit an agenda or earn brownie points with people who largely don't like, or care, about said entertainment.

Well i try to answer to every topic you are mentioning.

First off the VGC-Community. I have not been on this site for too long but the impression I got from the community is that it's very diverse.
You can find people from every political camp and some people here even have rather extreme points of view (like you), at least from my middle european standpoint. I think the Admins and Members of this site made a good job in creating a place were everyone can share their opinion and have a rather civilised discussion about it. The constant reappearing of these threads is actually prove for this diversity. Women in video games and feminism in general are hot topics, so of course someone will make a thread about it, then there are always a bunch of people who agree with the op and a bunch who disagree, so the discussion starts and people on this site get very passionit so these threads will always pop up again.

This leads us to the next topic. Do I think women are over-represented in video games? Let's specify this a little bit. Are women over-represented in video games compared to the women population in my country/ world wide? No. Are women overrepresented in video games business(aka devs, journalists, etc.) compared to the amount of female non-mobile gamers? I have no data on that but probably no. Are female leads overrepresented in video games compared to the amount of female non-mobile gamers? That could be actually the case but if so it's not a big deal, Why?
1) We are still a long way from the dominance of female protagonists in video games, we are even far from 50% female protagonists.
2) People can identify better with people of the same gender, but that's just a generalization. It's the same as with food, most people woudn't want to eat their favourit food every day, all day. so even if 0 women would play video games there would be still some female protagonists because some guys like to play as women from time to time.

I would love to see more women in gaming, it would be a win situation for everyone. More female gamers means more money spent in the industry and more women working in the industry means a higher diversity in storytelling and gameplay, not to mention that the games made by women are also enjoyable by man. Every developer who seriously tries to bring more girls and women into gaming should be applauded for that. A good example for this is Nintendo with their games released on the DS. What we shouldn't do however is criticising or pressuring devs who don't try.

the freedom of art also applies to video games and art don't have to follow one's personal moral or the moral of the society.

the game as a medium and art form isn't fully grown up yet. It goes through the same phases as literature and cinema before it.
Eventually the same thing will happen to games as to the little boys in their tree house, someday they will come down from the tree house and recognize that playing together with girls is actually more fun. :D

Absolutely.  All facets of "realism" do not fall under the same header.  The human brain does not work like that.  Arguments that compare underlying mechanics with sensory content, especially sensory content without context, are faulty.  The real key is continuity--even if that continuity is absurdity, that has to be established as a component.

Do you believe that the inclusion of women in Battlefield 5 would be fine if the women were only present in regions where they actually fought? 

In short, mechanics define gameplay and visuals define setting. Of course there's some overlap but for a World War 2 video game, the former has more room for maneuver than the latter.
