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

@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? -
@ToyabashiDuke@femfreq You also can't collect data without a control and comparing it to a game that treats women as women not objects -
@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.

@brenna_asplund Oh gee, it's almost like it's trying to emulate the time period it's set in. -

@brenna_asplund It's trying to emulate the time period of ye olden times, back before guns and when gods were everything. Get a grip. -

@brenna_asplund Violence against men is fine but violence against women is a terrible crime? Your argument is piss poor. - 8 more replies

@femfreq Thanks for these. It's so important to understand how the media helps reinforce (or can dismantle) cultural bigotry. -
@TooMuch_LC
@femfreq video games do not influence sexism. Also, these are cherry picked. -
@shadowdude099@femfreq Video games & other media can influence culture. But if you don't believe that, that is up to you. Take care. :) -
@TooMuch_LC
@femfreq well, it does influence some cultural changes. It doesn't do harm. -
@shadowdude099 But I'm not sure you are going to agree and I have to go to work so, again. Do take care. -
@TooMuch_LC OK. Then let's just agree to disagree.

@femfreq also here's a link to my PayPal because not playing the game & only judging it based on appearance triggered my ptsd. -
