@femfreq @gilmeansjoy Fantastic suggestion. Here's hoping developers will start imagining more than just Single Story for female characters!

@femfreq@gilmeansjoy Looks like the real question we should ask is why using humans as killing targets is so normalized in gameplay. -
@campyspornshack@femfreq I do not disagree. I enjoy violent games, but they and their history. need to be examined. -
@gilmeansjoy Sexualizing murder victims is pretty gross. Killing anthro-robots/clones/zombies/vampires is problematic, too.@femfreq

@femfreq@gilmeansjoy I thought putting women in a positive light, as opposed to being objectified, would help with female representation. -
@asiribo2
@femfreq You should read the Cross essay I linked to in my article. It explains how you can positively portray an evil woman. -
@gilmeansjoy Isn't it a good thing to show women in being the center of good as opposed to evil? Wouldn't positive role models help? -
@asiribo2 Showing the majority of women as all good or all bad creates stereotypes. Women, as human beings, are more dynamic than that.

@femfreq@gilmeansjoy nice article with a depressing comment thread. I just feel like going to sleep for 100 years now. Comment threads ToT; -
@ArrogantGamer@femfreq I know. Some good voices have stepped up to combat them which I didn't foresee. I'll focus on that.

@femfreq Agreed, though with some nitpicks here and there. Would you extend this to NPCs that don't qualify as objectified in your eyes?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq@gilmeansjoy There are plenty of games that feature female generic enemies! You can't feature just one and call it widespread.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq And even then, there'd be some double standards at times. (Female enemies in Captain Commando not having the gory deaths; Poison)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq There'd usually be at least one female enemy type. (Except in Final Fight, but that's besides the point)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq@gilmeansjoy The only company I can think of that got close was Capcom during the beat-em-up days. (Cont)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
