    Saints Row is not a satire of sexism, it's sexist satire. Same goes for the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

        @femfreq I would characterize SR as a caricature of thug life through a privileged white-male gaze which roots itself in sexism.

        @femfreq "Equal-opportunity offender" usually means "punching down in every way possible".

        @AmyDentata @femfreq Yep. To satirize something well, a piece must also critique/criticize it (& be funny). SR and GTA do none of the above.

        @elizabethdanger @femfreq the way they advertised at e3 in 2011 put me off the whole franchise. Incredibly sexist IMO.

        @femfreq Disagree about SR. It gives zero fucks about you playing a person of any gender. In many ways its the most inclusive game ever.
