Re: fandom stuff you're super defensive about

[herpymcderp]

I don't so much get angry about this. Angry implies a level of caring about this topic, but I am deathly bored of hearing people espouse similar viewpoints.

Uninformed people bleating about supposed misogyny (or misandry) in the video games I enjoy pretty much makes me sigh and stop taking their opinion seriously.

Look, you can make some solid arguments about jingoism, xenophobia, and that sort of thing... because to be frank a lot of the media I consume is literally about killing thousands of same-faced foreigners. You can't tell me that because there are only a few girls around (and they're portrayed as equally capable, autonomous beings with the same likelihood of dying or being captured as their male counterparts) that suddenly there's some sexism going on. Or that because 90% of the enemy fodder has a male skin that the game is trying to tell you that men are expendable.

It's kind of just reflecting reality. You can make arguments as to whether or not it should be reflecting reality - whether or not there's a responsibility for a narrative to strive for progressivity if it's thematically consistent - but it's almost never about that. Most of the time the people making the arguments haven't even played the games and don't actually know what happens in the story or what the conclusion or themes actually were. They just looked at the box and started parroting.

Allow me to translate for you: I can't understand this viewpoint, am not making an attempt to understand this viewpoint and don't really give a shit anyway wah wah.
