      Fantasy fiction can be a great place to confront issues like sexism & racism. The work of Ursula Le Guin & Octavia Butler do it beautifully.

      However, there’s a huge difference between fantasy that engages with social issues critically and fantasy that uses them for gritty texture.

          Games like The Witcher 3 use sexism & sexual violence for “gritty" world-building, presenting it as regrettable but natural and inevitable.

          In fact, Witcher 3 is a particularly egregious example of this problem. The game repeatedly uses brutal sexual violence as window dressing.

          If fantasy fiction is serious about addressing oppressions like sexism then the narrative should be focused on struggles around that issue.

          @femfreq I feel conflicted about playing that game because it is good, but is also so grossly sexist.

          @Melnychuk86 i think some story arcs tackle the issues and come up well represented. Is not all bad.

          @femfreq Fantasy is subjective narrative, not projective.

          @femfreq I agree- I'm a huge fan of Le Guin & Butler. I don't want to slam authors who try and come off bad. The problem- TW3 didn't try.

          @femfreq I play games to escape logic and go into a game where I do whatever I want, in the real world I follow the rules, in games I stray.

          @femfreq There's als a difference between fantasy and reality. No evidence that video games influence real world behavior #JackThomspson

          @femfreq Its not inevitable, its just way more common then it should be. You get the opportunity to fight against it as Geralt, right?

          @femfreq since when does literary works require social issues engrained in them?
