Then it's the executive's fault right? Not the random person who tweeted "lol this game sucks" but the random chief of development who was like "alright, you saw it, bigtittyqueen95 doesn't like it, time to shut it down"

It's not irrational, from a corporate point of view. If they see a trend that exists - and, I'm sorry, I'm not hallucinating this trend - and act on it, that's the capitalist hells media is made in. If it weren't for twee queer culture we would be making real progress here by now

It just seems like you want to blame this all on "twee queers" cause they're a more tangible group in your world than some anonymous executive pulling the strings

I'm saying the executives did the right thing and gave pretty much exactly the media I've wanted for going on 20 years a shot, and queer culture is so inoculated by stories where there are no stakes that we tore it apart, and that hurts like hell

I truly hate it and the only consolation I’m taking is that it’s so absurdly stupid that no one is going to adopt it as some new metric (I have to hope). Who would want to do creative work with this kind of puritanical constraint?

I also really dislike it just as an applicable test. The Bechdel test is strikingly simple! It's imperfect, but it's almost as objective as these things can get. This one...less so.

The reason the Bechdel test went viral is that it's such a seemingly tiny thing to ask that was so surprisingly hard to find (Partly because Hollywood scripts are under pressure to be maximally "efficient" in their writing, which makes their priorities really obvious)

Any riff on the test that isn't like that and is about major abstract plot points is missing the whole point

Yeah, exactly. "Are your female characters PEOPLE, or do they just show up to be 'the girl' before moving on?"
