      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 shouldn't we be comparing both sides of the coin? If the women are all treated like crap and back round data, are the men as well?

          @ADogmaticCaveat @femfreq If you were to use a game as a control, instead of the ideal of equality by itself, what would you choose?

          @ToyabashiDuke @femfreq it would have to be, possibly a children's game, where neither genders are affected but. . . idk if one exists.

          @ADogmaticCaveat @femfreq And in that idea, every game reflects in some way the problems our world has, possibly as a commentary.

          @femfreq But isn't it a bit dishonest to not even acknowledge this type of violence would exist in this type of medieval setting?

          @Dragon_Age_Fans @femfreq not really. There's specific history that lead to the type of patriarchy we see in Eurocentric midevil society.

          @CoreyWNunn It's a problematic game in a problematic series, but it's also incredibly nuanced. It's not nearly as cut and dry as she implies

          @femfreq Fantasy is not responsible for social engineering, it may touch upon it, but it is no stronger than the mind that adresses it.
