For me i am less worried about so called SJW effect on games, because frankly if games are shit they wont sell, and if they dont sell they either change back to what does sell or the publisher dissappears.

I am more worried however about the dangerous model of dealing with the situation people are setting.
As it stands if you so much as question a woman or feminists rhetoric on twitter you are labeled a mysoginist, gamergater or outright terrorist, what the model and response structure does is allow heavy manipulation of the public by squashing any questioning of rhetoric in a whitewash of labels

If a woman or feminist, or even just someone who upholds SJW ideals finds issue with someone, this structure is systematically abused to turn the media and thus, public opinion against the person they find issue with, this has been demonstrated multiple times over the past year and seems to be only growing in frequency.

Freedom of expression and free speech are playing second fiddle to political correctness gone crazy, and the manipulation of those both in control of, and on the side of, the media.

Wait, so are you saying the line 'when the Prime Minister was asked' is basically a lie since he wasn't even prime minister when he was asked this?

The way I saw GG when i followed it, was that critics of sexism in video games themselves became victims of sexism and harassment from gamers around the world. That has nothing to do with the freedom a developer has in making games. Having freedom to do something does not mean that you should be immune to critisicim. It´s a whole other thing if the industry is regulated by the government. So ofcourse I can oppose GG while standing for developer freedom.

What he said are basically the core values of feminism. If you think that applies to everyone than you think feminism applies to everyone. Feminism, despite it's somewhat misleading name, is not about women per se. It's about equality. For erveryone. Regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation or race.

Feminism aknowleges mysogynoism juat as much as misandrism and labels both as wrong. Sadly this is often misunderstood by supporters and detractors of feminism alike. There's nothing more annoying than self-appointed feminists spouting misandrist babble.

The thing is, 'we need to fight misogyny' in just about any context should not be a controversial standpoint. It should be a no-brainer. Just as much as 'we need to fight misandry' or 'we need to fight racism' should be a no-brainer.

As for GG, at this point sadly the movement is undivorceable from the horrible things it's loudest minority did, as far as the public concience is concerned. Whenever GG is brought up by the mainstream Media it's the harrassment and mysogynistic tendencies that parts of the movement did display, that are discussed. Overshadowing, the more serious issues GG was trying to raise awareness for. But labeling the mainstream media or the left wing, as bullies because they take a stance against bulliyng and by proxy pretending that the harrassment didn't happen and the whole GG movement is just a misunderstood part of gaming culture doesn't help either. If you sympathise with a movement, you have to be able to examine it critically and distance yourself clearly from the shit they did wrong in the past in order to do it better in the future. Otherwise your movement will die a slow and muddled death. No one benefits.

Although I would argue that, while mysogyonism was definively also present in the GG harrassment campaings, the fact that these campaings even happened, is more to do with general problems of the internet- and perhaps gamerculture. Death- and rapethreats are much too easliy thrown around, mob mentality and bulliyng happens way too easily. Male devs have been harrassed just as bad before. And to be at the recieving end of such a shitstorm, especially if your adress gets leaked, has to be fucking scary for just about anyone.

Well, if there is mysandry in games, of course I am not for it. It is always a matter of context though, just like with misogony.

You think there is plenty of diversity in games, I think there could be more. I like that we are getting more and more diversity since it makes many games more interesting and a lot more enjoyable. It has become better and better, just looking back 30 years and seeing how gamers reacted to Samus Aran being a woman, compared to how we find it more natural that half of the spartan are male and half female, are good signs. But we can always be better.
