Over women playing videogames

yes but can women play video games aimed at their demographic? Or can men stop making games aimed at the 17% of less-than-18-year-olds demographic for the 100% of the market? That second rhetoric is by no means backed by any factual evidence; if you have any information on that end, please feel free to correct me.

What's your point man, women and men can play whatever games their heart desires regardless of what demographic it's marketed to, yes the gaming industry as a whole need to wake up and smell the coffee when it comes to producing games directly for women but it doesn't mean every woman out there is stuck playing Barbie's Island Adventures or whatever it is you're suggesting they do

I don't know any women who consider "video games aimed at their demographic" to actually be "aimed at their demographic". ijs.

Besides, suggesting many games aren't "aimed at their demographic" is rather sexist, actually.

How come Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Dragon Age, Mass Effect couldn't be "aimed at their demographic"?

I've never heard of Barbie's Island Adventure but you imply that the demographic for that game is women and not children. That makes your claim that "women and men can play whatever their heart desires" hypocritical because you think that games with Barbie in it are for women and not children; the closest thing to the game you mentioned, I think, is this game which is rated E for Everyone not W fo Women.

Besides that, my previous rhetoric is flawed anyways because I can't support anything it claims with facts. How about this one? How many great games for men and women support feminism?

Any game in which a female is the hero, or can be the hero (Fable, etc.).

Bayonetta's a good example.

Well, I have never played Bayonetta or Fable so this is a good topic of discussion for people to argue whether or not Bayonetta is a feminist game; I haven't completely understood this article but it seems like Bayonetta may not be a good example of a female character; people who have played the game should voice their opinion on this matter.

You're right and I apologize for offending anybody.

I assumed the majority of games out where sexist because of gender-stereotypes like for example I've only played DMC in the games you listed. I wish you could play as Trish and save Dante instead of the gender stereotype Dante (the hero) saves Trish (who is first a seductress, then a betrayer, and then a damsel in distress).

Depends entirely upon how someone chooses to look at it.

If they see her prancing and posing and sexualization and stop right there, they might think she's a bad example.

But if they're not shallow, they'd see that she's powerful (she defeats "God" wink , she's self-sufficient (she saves the man of the story repeatedly and does almost everything alone), she's confident (there is no quivering over "can I do this", there is just "I can do this and if you think I can't be ready to be proven wrong" wink , and above all that she's comfortable enough in her own sexuality and her body to be able to pose like that.

I challenge you to find me any feminist who thinks that a powerful, self-sufficient, confident woman is a BAD role model.

Because this is the VGD post-Godeau/Beramode.

Y'know, I don't know if they were the ones doing all the work, but it seems pretty coincidental that after they left, this place became pretty much barren of moderation.
