(Anonymous) 2013-09-28 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)I got 99 problems but the internalized misogyny that so often figures into the denial of feminist ideas that seems to be a base requirement to be considered a "good" woman by the patriarchy ain't one
(not to say that there aren't forms of feminism that are problematic, but rly)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-28 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)Yes because all feminism is sjws and tumblr. Allow me to facepalm at you completely missing my point.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)I can recall one instance where that worked, when Bioware decided to make Dragon Age 2 based on the critique of the 'progressives' on their forums. Needless to say, it was commercially a flop, and quite a terrible game also.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-29 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)I would like to remind you that David Gaider is himself a 'progressive' (why the scare quotes?) who has spoken out about the misogyny and homophobia rampant in the gaming community. DA2 was a commercial flop and a terrible game not because it was progressive but because it was rushed through the development cycle. Full stop. If they had spent more than a mere year on it, it would have been a much better game. (And I say this as someone who never finished it because of immense dissatisfaction with certain spoiler events instigated by the only member of your party who can heal worth a damn.)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-29 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)If the game is a flop and has a female character/progressive romances/etc. it flopped because of that.
If a male protagonist/generic "normal" romance including/same old, same old game is a flop, it's because of gameplay issues. Or annoying bugs. Or the graphics. Or countless of other reasons - not because it had a male MC or a het main romance.
DA2 wasn't a great game because, as someone else said, they rushed the development and used the same stupid textures/surroundings for every dungeon. Not because of some weird "feminists and evil progressive people are ruining my games" conspiracy theory.
Not to mention DA:O had gay romance options as well.
