Forums - Gaming - Are gamers sexist: here is a test

Female soldiers obeying their male commanding officers is sexist. Gotta love the internet, and G4.


1) Not a soldier.

2) Doesn't have a commanding officer.

Forget facts, they're not needed to make snarky comments on the internet.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

well many say gamers and the entire games industry is sexist, either exlcuding women form being any where near a main character and when there is a women they are majority generalised.

But here is a test for you to see if you are sexist

Now there is a boy and his dad driving in a car. The car crashes and the dad dies on impact. The boy is rushed to hospital and is sent to the operating room. The doctor then said "I cant operate on him as he is my son"

Who is the doctor??

 

Post your answer, as gamers i fought to see how many would get this right and prove are gamers are hopefully not sexist

and when i heard this i got it wrong at first sadly :(

The doctor is clearly another father of his. Perhaps is parents are gay, or he is adopted. Otherwise, it would have to be some ridiculous trick question like... some sorta woman doctor.



gnah.. -.-  .. i think its the mum, but before reading the comments i was like 'WTF' since Male and Female Jobs are called different even if the job itself is the same. (Doctor = Arzt as Male, Ärztin as Female., so everytime i hear 'doctor' i am thinking about a male one x))

 

but as it was said, its obviously the Mum, and i dunno what it has to do with sexism. ^^



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

I feel bad for being confused for a second :(, never thought of myself as a sexist.



May the adjustments be with you


I feel a disturbance in the sales

the car??



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

His mother...or his other father (fathers were gay), his step-father...or God I guess

I'm surprised mother didn't come to most people first



his mum i think

i was like how the heck could it be anyone but his mum until i read the other posts in this thread



 

 

I wouldnt say Im sexist, Its just that I find it hard to play as  female protagonist in games

For some reason I find it unbelievable when I do and it kills the game for me, kind of embarassing also.....

 



it has to be his mother. The dad is dead so it cant be him can it.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

It's his mother.

I would have thought that would be pretty obvious by your repeated reference to the fact that if you got it wrong, you were a sexist. I had heard it before, though, without the clues, and I got it right that time.
