It always amazes me how some companies who promote diversity and community,also promote violent and sexist video games/graphics.!gnu !linux
-
@tylana It amazes me that people who promote diversity and community are sometimes the ones who try to force their over-PCness on me.
-
@tylana and sometimes those same people are the ones who have twisted something that is normal into being 'sick' in their own twisted minds.
-
@tylana personal views are highly subjective.
-
I don't force anything on anyone. People can play video games that promote rape and killing all they want to,but I don't have to like it.
-
@ddevine true,and the more education one has,the clearer one can see the socialimpactof patriarchal,chauvinistic,and misogynistic videogames
-
@tylana potentially.
-
@ddevine yep ;)
-
@tylana ...but everybody knows its perfectly fine for women to be sexist. It's not sexism if it comes from a woman...
-
@tylana men are constantly singled out when it comes to sexism. PC pushers commonly try to replace the double standard with their own.
-
@ddevine Women can be sexists too, for sure.
-
@tylana and yet by my observations, women being sexist is socially acceptable. Incorrectly classified games are the least of our worries.
-
@tylana Are you the same opinion of writters who release books on said topics? Incredibly narrow-mided.
-
@chriswaterguy *personally* I'm not worried but if they would swallow their pride and classify games properly there would be no issues.
-
@chriswaterguy its more of a problem in Australia than the USA. They grossly mis-classify to be able to get R18 games into the market.
-
@zapadlo yes,I mustbe narrow-minded to notlike videogames that depict women as slaves,murdervictims,and sex toys w/ missle-sized boobs geesh
-
@tylana Commentaries on the today's society, show your dislike for that, not the products depicting it. Hate artists for painting war too?
-
@zapadlo I never said I hated anyone. People are free to draw their own conclusions. I wasn't posting about paintings, by the way.
-
@tylana So its okay for writters and painters to depict society, but not for game makers lest they are percieved sexist?
-
@zapadlo define "depict" :)
-
@tylana Portray, describe, delineate :)
-
@zapadlo The problem with many video games is how they portray gender stereotypes and encourage violence against women.
-
@tylana They make what people buy, do we blame supermarkets for selling non-organic foods?
-
@zapadlo It isn't about blaming, it is about critical thinking. People have a choice: I do think there is a market for respectful games. :)
