@femfreq And no outcry, no call for Todd Martens to be fired, doubting his qualifications, etc. But when @carolynmichelle says the same....

@c_gonzalez@femfreq Maybe people expect that kind of critical cultural perspective from mainstream media but not "gaming enthusiast" press? -
@carolynmichelle@femfreq Possible differences in audience do matter. Just stark differences, genuine curiosity on my part as to factors.

@femfreq@davidhellman Amazing line: it once represented risk-taking unpredictability... it's now simply twerking its way into the headlines -
@ColinNorthway Incredipede is still my top twerking game. -
@davidhellman You could definitely do some twerking in Incredipede

@femfreq something that needs to be said is that GTA has always made parody of all sorts of stereotypes and this is no different. -
@NOSLOandy@femfreq "Hipster/ironic racism/sexism/etc" is still racism/sexism/etc. -
@XBlackBlocX I'm not denying it, but it isn't there to attack anyone, and equally isn't there for everyone. -
@NOSLOandy Right. Because I needed to be told that gaming is a white cishet male playground and that 90% of games are not for other ppl. -
@XBlackBlocX i mean, they are designed for the focus group. They don't particularly care whether the minorities want it or even like it. -
@XBlackBlocX to add to that (while it got me thinking) it isn't necessarily right, but it also isn't wrong from a company standpoint.

@femfreq@Toddmartens good! Keep reading reviews saying "it's totally sexist but i love it anyway". Why is it ok to gloss over anti woman? -
@gingerdisco99@femfreq@Toddmartens its a mans world
