Women ruined gaming again… Note: This is my first EVER scripted & researched video essay commentary video! Leave a like to let me know if you want more of this kind of video in the future!
This video is interesting insofar as it’s the creator’s first venture into video commentary. Due to the hype surrounding GTA6, the fascist/anti-feminist backlash bleeds into the mainstream and now people who had previously not been aware of the fascist/anti-feminist content on social media are exposed to it. [Most of the fascist/anti-feminist content creators she mentions are the usual suspects of fascist/anti-feminist content and have been at it for years.]
She ain’t wrong, a lot of (male?) gamers are just extremely toxic children.
If it upsets you to see someone different than you depicted as powerful in media, you are some kind of bigot.
All you gotta do is go back to horizon. One of my favorite games…and bam neckbeards getting all butthurt that a woman is the main character and not running around with huge boobs and no clothing on. They did the same shit with the new tomb raider. They were pissed that croft didn’t have huge tits and a huge ass in tiny shorts and a crop top…and it was such a good game, that it also was a favorite of mine.
End of the day, it’s neckbeards and wanna be alphas trying to be relevant.
I’ll admit to being a little gutted about Lara Crofts design direction, but thats because I’m horny not sexist. I haven’t played any since 2 and the top-down co-op one though so I’m not really allowed to comment.
The latest one that rebooted the franchise with a British VA, is really really good. You should give it a go, it’s cheap and on sale all the time.
The first game in the reboot series does suffer from a bit of ludonarrative dissonance
spoiler
when Lara first kills somebody it’s a traumatic experience for her, but after that cutscene she massacres dudes for the rest of the game without batting an eyelid
but it is a very good game. I really should get around to playing the others, they’ve sat unplayed in my library for years.
I think that first part was supposed to be a shock, and show it’s not going to be like the older games.
Horizon such awesome story and game. Was also the fact that the female character was also asexual. I also found it one of my favorites.
Aloy isn’t exactly ace, at least she’s definitely not aro. She ends up with an adorable crush on a character in the second game.
Yea it was awesome, finding out how everything went to shit was so good and finding little stories of the past buried everywhere made the game that much better. Usually I skip a lot of that filler, because it’s usually just that, filler, but for some reason the filler in HZD didn’t feel like it and had me hunting for it, trying to piece together what had happened.
Me too was in part what made it such great game. I hunted down all the lore I could find.
Yea it was done so well with the lore, usually I just play the main story and call it a day, but hunting for the “wtf happened here” stories were just to good to pass up. It’s like it was this huge puzzle until it’s finally revealed.
Yep it wonderful world I should go back and see it all again. I have the strategy guide and I am sure I missed something. Heck never did get that armor you find not far from home.
I would expand that out to onclude anybody that spends more free time infront of a screen away from other humans, are a toxic bunch.
Wish there was a way to track the amount of opinions you have reqd on the internet but have never ran into in the real world lol.
I can personally confirm that these opinions do not live online only.
