Tropes vs Women in Video Gaming - Damsel in Distress
raizoo Wrote:I don't quite get that vibe from her. Or maybe I'm just optimistic with Part 2?To me, the general backlash usually goes one of two ways:

1) People believe she's trying to make all games super politically correct and make all games "unfun" [apparently making fun of minorities is fun?]. It's more like adding diversity. You folks can get the games you want, while I'd like to get some games that don't alienate me.

2) A lot of times, when minorities try to talk about their problems, the majority group try to either tell them "I see no problem, so you shouldn't have a problem" or they complain about their own problems.

Yes, there are problems with the portrayal of men in a lot of video games as well. But a common occurrence is men talking about their problems only when women do and trying to talk over them as well.

i guess i can't get over the fact that she called peach and zelda "a ball, an object to be claimed back and forth between two men" when really, they are so much more than that ._.
