Alright, I again have to clarify their position. I don't agree with how they go about things, but I at least understand their argument. A single character is (generally speaking) able to be given more depth and nuance. You take something like Xenoblade, where the protagonist was given a full story and played a major role in the game (even if his personality was a bit shallow) and compare it to Xenoblade X, where the create-a-character playable protagonist was pretty much a non-presence in the story. Now, I know that's not always the case (Mass Effect series), but generally speaking, when given a choice of character, some depth needs to be sacrificed. So I understand why people advocating for more female characters wouldn't be satisfied with a choice or a create-a-character.



Oh, I agree that focusing on a singular character makes for a better character, but when it comes to Assassins Creed, the lack of the OPTION is what got people all hot and bothered. The whole "iT's HaRd To AniMatE WoMen, DeRP." thing started because people weren't given a superficial female skin option. I'm also pretty sure Ubi knows their demographic a bit better than ERA does.  :doge

Ree doesn't just want interesting female characters, they want to replace established male roles.

Oh, hey, I remember that now. Yeah, you're right (I mean, we can't for sure say it's the same people, but there's likely a significant overlap). But that is kind of the nature of advocacy. People that want no abortions will first push for third trimester abortion bans, then second trimester, etc., and try and make it more and more restrictive, gaining whatever ground they can. Gay people in the '90s first pushed for the striking down of anti-sodomy laws, and then for visitation rights and such, and then for marriage. It's sort of the nature of the advocacy beast to gain what ground you can with a plan to not stop there.

Again, I don't agree with the methods of those pushing for more women protagonists, but I understand the position, and it doesn't really reek of hypocrisy any more than any other advocacy group that keeps trying to make more gains toward their ultimate goal.

I do think the "We're not trying to keep your kind of game from being made" line is a straight up lie by many who speak it, though. They want zero games to exist with elements they view as "problematic." They absolutely do want to keep your games from being made.

Well, if that were the case, why bother criticising certain games or certain elements within a game at all? What's the purpose if not in the hope that those games will change? If you're not trying to stop those games being made, you could quite easily talk about the games you would like to be made without criticisng other games. Surely the motivation to change the way developers make games is implied by the criticism? That is why I find that argument a little bit disingenuous.

I think a lot of the woke JRPG fans (?) on oldGAF/Ree had the idea that if people shunned titty and moe games the devs will stop making them and starting catering to them more. I remember the thread about a article of Jeremy Parish bitching about how the Devs of Omega Laberynth were veterans devs that now were "forced" to make a titty game to have success, and people in that thread and Parish ignored that the reality of the market makes this type of games difficult to sell if they dont cater to a segment of the audience that actually buys this stuff in consistent basis because waifus.

Those weeb titty and moe Japanese games that Reee constantly bitch about are for a super niche audience where 90%-95% of them are situated in Japan. Why they think those developers will care what a bunch of foreigners whining in their echo chamber think is baffling. Those games are easy to avoid if they are THAT bothered by them. I do sympathize with them somewhat when aspect of those weeb games leak in to bigger, more mainstream games they play.

The clear answer to their concerns are to talk up the games they feel does things right, support them, and ignore those titty games. But that is not the case. They clearly think social pressure is the way to go, which makes their claims that they are OK with letting blatant titty games to exist a lie. They would not have went bonkers and derailed that Valkyrie Chronicles 4 thread for a single piece of paid DLC if that was the case.

Ya, most of these titty games people complain about wouldn't get the time of day if they didn't have titties, because they're cheap af kusoges. They're not going to suddenly get a FFXV budget to make polished AAA games if people stopped buying them.

Surely the motivation to change the way developers make games is implied by the criticism? That is why I find that argument a little bit disingenuous.
I mean, I agree with you that the best course of action if the type of game you like isn't being made is to make that game. If Episcopalians want better Episcopalian representation in games, they should make games.

That being said, I at least understand where they're coming from. If we take their assumptions at face value for the sake of argument, if 90% of games have sexual objectification of women, and 10% don't, then criticizing the ones that do could either be an effort to 1) eradicate all objectification in games, or 2) shift the ratio so those who don't like it have a bigger selection of games.

This latter goal could be achieved by either a) making your own games that are more to your liking, b) demonstrating there's a big enough market that companies would naturally shift their resources to better serve your market, or c) guilt people into altering their product to target your demographic instead of another demographic. This last one is often used, unfortunately, and it's also often used in conjunction with 1) eradicate all objectification in games.

Full disclosure: As a religious person (not Episcopalian), I actually disagree with objectification as well. So in a sense, I agree with the goals of feminists in this regard. However, I vehemently disagree with the method by which many go about hoping to achieve this goal. I think the best and most moral way to shape the market is to prove a market is lucrative by either buying and promoting products already targeting that market, or by creating product yourself for that market.

There are a few exceptions (I think the stigmatization of cigarettes has been pretty successful, the product's negative effect on people was severe and very well established, and it's so addictive I don't think that market would have really disappeared as much as it has without negative social pressure building), but generally speaking, I think voting with your wallet and/or your production prowess is the best way to go about things.

Let's see, "structural priviledge". Hm. Whatever could they mean...? :thinking

Quote
National law and sharia

The Indonesian National Commission on Violence Against Women noted that more regulations that discriminate against women are being adopted throughout the country than are being repealed. [9] In 2012, the Commission noted 282 bylaws in various jurisdictions across Indonesia that it deemed discriminatory, compared with 154 such instruments in 2009.[9] There are 96 that impose criminal sanctions on women through regulations on prostitution and pornography, 60 that contain dress codes and religious standards, and 38 that place restrictions on women’s mobility.[9] Although such bylaws can be found in 28 Indonesian provinces, the six provinces in which they are largely concentrated are East Java, South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, West Java, West Nusa Tenggara, and West Sumatra.[9]

In many parts of Indonesia, local laws compelling women and girls to wear the hijab are increasingly in place in schools, government offices and public spaces.[10] Aceh province has implemented Sharia law in full.[11] In Aceh, all Muslim women must wear the traditional head covering known as hijab; fraternising with the opposite sex outside marriage is banned.[12]
Sexual crime and harassment

More than 90 percent of rape cases in Indonesia go unreported, victims fear being blamed.[13]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cast-releases-joint-statement-in-support-of-james-gunns-reinstatement.58781/page-10#post-10938665

I mean... Not to give credit to lunatics and at the peril of doing bothsidesim but a few months ago it wasn't exactly too unorthodox on REEEra to say that Hollywood was an harassment & sexual abuse corporation, and it wasn't wholly unjustified. Surely over the years there's been many rumors and claims that sexually abusing teens and minors isn't unheard of there either.

actually it says a whole lot that they're just now, two weeks later, wondering if what he said is actually offensive.

someone posted a screenshot of those tweets on ree, and they were "why are you posting alt right propaganda, so gross", as if Gunn weren't to blame, the "nazis" were.  :lol

besides, it can't be two weeks later already, because Gunn is still sacked

If you look at the cesspool that is the Donald that is exactly what they are doing. “Guardians of the Pedophile” it’s fucking sickening. They think Hollywood is this pedophilic corporation.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cast-releases-joint-statement-in-support-of-james-gunns-reinstatement.58781/page-10#post-10938665

I mean... Not to give credit to lunatics and at the peril of doing bothsidesim but a few months ago it wasn't exactly too unorthodox on REEEra to say that Hollywood was an harassment & sexual abuse corporation, and it wasn't wholly unjustified. Surely over the years there's been many rumors and claims that sexually abusing teens and minors isn't unheard of there either.
Alex Jones was right and he won.

Quote
The Bore: You don't want to do this, REEE.

REEEE: It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair! You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time! But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unbiased, unprejudiced... fair. James Gunn got the same chance she had. Fifty-fifty.

The Bore: What happened to Clinton wasn't chance. We decided to act. We three.

REEEE: Then why was it me who was the only one who lost everything?

The Bore: It wasn't...

REEEE: r/the_Donald chose me!

The Bore: Because you were the best of us. They wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall.

REEEE: And they were right.

Just an observation. Theres a thread on Reset about Russia gaming INTERPOL requests in the US to bring in dissidents with like five posts and the Gunn thread about baby rape jokes has 13 pages worth of bickering.

Well, one of those is about complex geopolitical wrangling that nobody really understands and the other is about the most important thing in the world [mass-media entertainment products].

New idea: A site dedicated to triangulating all employer information and standardizing simple text input forms to allow the sending of communication to get people fired better and faster than ever. Start small: Use  federal databases of schools and government facilities.  Expand to private businesses - crowd source angry people into providing the most legitimate and pristine employer information possible.    Organize and design information to sell to focus groups and HR departments.  Think Google Business or Yelp reviews, but bigger and better.

Possible slogans: 
"nicca, you hear what this bitch said?" 
"I feel like you're not really understanding what I'm trying to say"
"Just so we're clear..." *picture of an incredulous smiley*
"It's not okay. None of this is okay."
"This is for your own good."
"No, no, no, no...Look, I'm 'bout to rock this nicca head off his mofuckin shoulders, because there ain't no way I fuckin' heard this cracka ass cracka say what I think he said"


For any prospective investors, tell me if any of these words excite you:
- Embracing sustainability of human workforce capital through public-facing bandwidth expectations
- Think outside the box, but also, in the box, and maybe even around the box.
- Visioneering doesn't need to be expensive *chuckle politely here*, we're here to unpack this bitch.  *give a wink to a woman in the room to assure her it was in the hip-hop context and not the she's a bitch context*
- At the end of the day, we're here to make hay, and make them pay *check to see if people recognize words rhyme*
- Game-changer alert!   Racism and misogyny is synergy and content is king!  This is an ideas shower, bitch! [use discretion here: if the woman looks like she doesn't want to hear 'bitch' twice, don't say it]  *whip out umbrella*

This reminds me of my idea to create an internet filter. See the internet used to not be for everyone.
We'd just have the 'meh' people who understand how the internet works until I think about 5 or 10 years ago and everyone became politicized and polarized.

Basically my plan was to create an extension for Chrome that blocks offensive content but in such a way that the user doesn't notice it.
A setting would allow you to decide if you wanted to view the internet 'censored' or in its full glory.
First you had to answer a few questions about your political affiliation, if you support gay marriage, drug use, if you're afraid of blood yadayada

If you still felt something was offensive you could vote it down and it wouldn't show for others with the same setting as you.
The thing was called 'A better internet' or 'betternet' for short. Evade all the trolls, bigots, racists and sexists by using betternet.
In the end though the algorithm would be built to increase the levels of censorship until folks like REE would get access to less and less information.

Basically they would in time also be blocked from viewing stuff that they'd be likely to agree with in the name of this 'censorship'. Thus limiting the internet mob formations. 
The key was of course to make them trust the system first so that would be the final step.

Finally the internet would return to its former glory. The trolls would get bored because there'd be significantly less people who would be 'triggered'.
Places like REE in time would disappear completely.

Think outside the box friend.

We'd know exactly who would find what offensive based on their Betternet profile and match that information with their LinkedIn and Facebook account to figure out what company they run.
You'd know exactly what would trigger the Disney CEO. You could lure the victim into posting such a message using effective passive-aggressive trolling or hacking into their profiles and posting stuff on their behalf.

There ain't gonna be no Betternet profile, because Accelicore,  Business Firing Technology is going public before your fucking shithouse operation gets off the fucking ground.  Betternet is hacking into their own userbase to impersonate people into commiting slander and libel?   You son of a bitch, slander and libel is our marketshare -- you stole Accelicore's entire modus operandi from my pitch.  You're going to get fucking buried
